A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 864
The moment Cora figured out what that meant, her heart jumped.No. She could not let the Levines' assets end up in Jay's hands. She could not see Zoe leading a better life than she did.She had suffered for so many years in order to end up with what she had today. What right did Zoe have to take back everything she had eventually?"Acknowledge me? Did he acknowledge me as his son?" Jay sneered. "If he did, why did he keep me by his side as his adoptive son? He brought me back simply because there was no one else to take care of me, simply because having one more mouth to feed was nothing to the Levine household. To the Levines, having me around was no different from having a dog!" "That's enough, Jay!" Nancy could not bear to hear more.She would not allow Jay to say that of her father."I think it's quite enough too." Jay looked coldly at Nancy. "I've had enough since many years ago. Now is a great time for us to make a clean break.""Do you really want things to go so far f

Zoe would always chase after him, calling him 'Old Mister' when he was clearly only a few years older than she was.Initially, he felt nothing for Zoe.To be accurate, in such a new environment, he was pretty much cold toward anyone.He did not know how to act around them, and he was very careful to stay within boundaries and know his place, causing as little trouble to others as much as he could.But Zoe was overly warm and friendly.She had boundless energy when she was young. No matter what he was doing, she would never fail to run over and butt in.When he was doing his homework, she would sprawl at his feet and play by herself.When he was practicing at the piano, she would sit next to him and listen intently. She would even sing a few lines in unclear words and imperfect pitch.When he was sleeping, she would sometimes climb into his bed and make him read her bedtime stories. Whatever he did, she would be following behind him.She would either chatter on incessantly or

Until now, he told Zoe nothing.He would rather she hate him for life than go through the torment that he did.But he never expected that Zoe was not a member of the Levine family by blood.The moment he found out, he did not know whether to be happy or not.He had hurt Zoe so much, after all.All right, he admitted that he felt truly happy.It meant that he was not related to Zoe by blood and they could be together openly.But that required some time, because Nancy could not accept Zoe's existence.Zoe was evidence of her husband having an affair. For someone as proud as Nancy, she would never accept Zoe's existence.So, if he wanted to be with Zoe, his only choice was to sever ties with the Levine family.He looked Alan up to lay all his cards on the table without any hesitation.Alan did not immediately agree; instead, he simply said that they would talk again after some time.He agreed to Alan, thinking that there was still time and by way of thanking him for raising hi

The door opened, and Jay snapped back to reality as he sat up straight on the couch.Zoe brought Yelena out. "Yelena wants to go to the playground for a while."She could not stand Yelena's whining any longer.Since they just moved here, they didn't bring much of Yelena's toys. She gave Yelena her phone to use but Yelena got bored of it after a while and insisted on going downstairs to play.When they were on their way here, Jay mentioned that there was a playground for the children in this district, and Yelena kept it in mind."Okay, I'll bring her there." Jay picked up his walking stick and stood up. "No, you've been running around the whole day. I'll go instead. I can also take Yelena around the neighborhood and get to know our way around," Clara immediately said."Thank you." Jay did not insist on his way.He had done a lot of work today.Of course, most importantly, he wanted to explain everything to Zoe."It's no trouble at all, go be busy. Yelena, come with me to the

Of course, she knew that Cordy was congratulating her on her marriage with Jay."It's not what you think it is," Zoe said. "We were forced by circumstances and it's all very complicated. It's hard to explain everything over the phone. In short, it's a fake marriage and we'll get a divorce after a while."A low chuckle sounded from the other side."You find it outrageous too, don't you? But… I don't seem to have a choice," Zoe said helplessly."I don't find it outrageous," Cordy explained. "I just think you're being wild again.""What do you mean?" Zoe did not really understand."Why would you get a divorce when you finally managed to get married?""I did not 'finally manage to get married'…""I mean for Jay.""You and Quinn are overthinking things." Zoe was flabbergasted. "There's nothing between Jay and me""That's between you husband and wife. There's no need to explain things to us." Cordy chuckled. "I'm just sending my blessings, that's all.""It's all fake, what's there

"It's true," Zoe said indifferently. "Jay and I have been a mistake from the start. No, we never started—everything was just an accident, even our marriage now. Whatever it is, we'll go our separate ways one day.""Not necessarily so."Cordy thought that now that Jay could finally be together with Zoe, even if Zoe did not fancy him, he would never let her go so easily. True love would not give up so easily, especially since they were already together."I can't be bothered to talk more to you." Zoe did not want to say anything further, finding it pointless, anyway.Cordy smiled as she said, "I won't say more, I'll just sit here and wait for good news.""Go on and wait," Zoe said dismissively.Anyway, getting a divorce was good news to her.Cordy did not dwell on the subject further. She said, "Send me a picture of Yelena. I think it'll be tough for me to return anytime soon, and I already can't wait to see what she looks like. We're relatives, after all.""Relatives? Oh, I almos

Clara sighed helplessly.She would just have to contend with the fact that all good things took time.-Zoe went downstairs and searched around for a long time before finding the children's playground.This was a high-end estate, comprehensively equipped with all sorts of facilities.She originally envisioned it to just be a small playground, but she knew she had underestimated it when she saw how large-scale the three-story playground was.It was no wonder that Clara was worried that Jay might not be able to handle Yelena. If she were to run around this huge place, it was very likely that Jay might not be able to catch up with her.Right now, she was unable to spot Yelena. She could only see Jay standing at the side of the playground, focusing on a particular spot.Zoe walked over.She followed Jay's line of sight and saw Yelena climbing up and down the playground like a little monkey."Head back first. I can look after Yelena," Zoe suddenly said.Jay jumped in shock.Zoe
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 871
"I just think both Yelena and Dicky are too young to consider marriage." Jay simply came up with a reason, finding it all the more logical after some consideration. "Yelena’s just three! It's far too early to consider that.""It's called planning ahead, get it? Do you think Yelena won't get rivals for a young man as fine as Dicky?" Zoe said seriously, convincing herself further the more she said it.Who knows? Richard Levine might be married by the time Yelena becomes an adult, and she would die regretting that her golden goose was poached to be someone else's son-in-law."No. Yelena's cute, so all the good ones would flock around her anyway," Jay replied solemnly. "And even if she doesn't like them or refuses to marry, she can stay with us forever. That's fine, since I can afford it."Zoe was rendered speechless.Does Jay know that being too nice a father would spoil a daughter? And what was that supposed to mean, that Yelena could stay with them forever?!"What if you die?" Zoe
