A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 126

Even as Cordy looked utterly guilty, John was studying her seriously as he asked, “I’m curious. What made you think that I was dating Zoe, Ms. Sachs?”

Still, his brow was relaxed, showing his good mood.

Cordy bit her lip, but she knew that John was going to be ruthless if she told him that Kyle Jessop misled her.

“Supposing that I were dating Zoe, it’s even more curious that you’d find it logical that I would have you two appear in the same place,” John continued, putting weight behind every word. “How irresponsible do you think I am toward a relationship that I could do something like that?!”

She definitely should have suspected something, especially with her calmness and wit. But for some reason, she presumed that John and Zoe were really dating without questioning it.

Now that she understood that, she realized that she was definitely being foolish–could she have been infected by Kyle’s stupidity?
