A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 124

Even so, John simply had no idea what his mistake was!

Nonetheless, Cordy said plainly, “You’re dating Zoe, aren’t you?”

It was obvious John would keep bothering her if she was not direct.

And she refused to be direct before because adults did not have to go that far to embarrass each other, and they were not enemies either.

But after all her rejections failed, she decided to just be direct.

John was left blinking, and there was a flash of surprise in his

eyes.

Since he was silent from shock, Cordy continued, “I’ve known Zoe long enough to tell that she’s a good person–a little bold at times, but she’s kind and naive. I don’t know why you’re dating her, and it could well be a tit for tat and not meant to last, but I really feel that Zoe deserves better treatment. If you really want a family and a mother for Dicky, she’s not a bad choice.”

“She certainly isn’t,” John said in agreement.

Cordy felt that pain in her chest again but she ignored it, as she accepted that John was spoken for with grace.
