A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 143

Zoe was attending Jay’s university graduation ceremony when she realized that she was in love with him.

She was so jealous when every classmate of his seemed to profess their love to Jay.

Hence, on a dark, windy night, she stood at the main entrance of Levine Manor, waiting for Jay, who was out having dinner with Bob and the rest.

The instant she saw his towering figure alighting from his car, she threw all caution to the wind and leaped into his arms.

Jay stank of alcohol and only that–he never used deodorant or perfume.

But even if he sweated all over after playing basketball, she would find him carrying a sense of freshness from head to toe.

“What is it? Don’t tell me it’s a nightmare. You’re an adult now–Umph.” Jay asked her very softly, and his eyes suddenly widened.

Even Zoe could not remember what gave her such courage, but she had wrapped her arms around his neck and stood on her toes to plant a kiss squarely on his lips.

There was even tongue involved–the scent of alcohol in his mouth was strong and it left her dazed.
