A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 336

As Zoe drank the shrimp soup, she asked coolly, "Who is that man from yesterday?"

She did not care, but still needed information anyway—she certainly did not want to face something like that every night.

Clara worked hard to hold back her tears before saying, "He's my husband."

As Zoe glanced at her, she continued, "After I left the Levines' service, I could not be picky since I already have a child, so I had to marry a good man."

Zoe raised an eyebrow—a good man? "He used to be a good man—a farmer.

Clara then paused for a moment before continuing.
