A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 1495

A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1495-Things got a little awkward, though Zoe quickly said, “That’s not the same for us.”

“How so?” Bob asked.

“I never loved you,” Zoe said bluntly. “Of course we can be friends.”

Bob was left staring at her-talk about going for the jugular!

What, was she worried she had not hurt him enough and had to keep rubbing salt on his wound?

That was when Zoe deliberately asked Quinn, “Don’t you think you wouldn’t actually be friends if you were really in love with him?”

Quinn pursed her lips in silence, and it was Sam who said,” Nope. Maybe you find said person not worth your time.”

Quinn held her tongue right then, while Zoe shot Sam a glare.

Getting into a relationship and even marrying? He was more suited to be forever alone!

Still, Jay quickly tried to smooth things over. “It’s rare for us to gather, and the next time would be my baby’s birthday. Open another bottle, Bob. Let’s get

drunk.”

“Yeah,” Bob was certainly sharp.

This world where only he got hurt was already a husk, and he did not feel hurt anymore.

He opened a bottle and passed it around the men, while asking the women,

“Water or milk, ladies?”

“Just water,” Cordy replied politely. “We’re fine on our own- just ignore us.”

“I’ll have a bottle, Bob,” Quinn suddenly said.

Everyone turned toward her in surprise since she was not known for her alcoholism-she would never drink if she was not drinking with Cordy and Zoe.

“It’s rare for us to hang out, so I’d like something to drink,” she said nonchalantly. “I’ve been stuck with Ryan for a while, and there’s no telling

when’s the next time I can get off.”

“How’s he now?” Zoe asked in curiosity. “Still hanging by a thread?”

“Nope. He’s fine,” Quinn explained.

“That’s what I’m saying! He’s a man, so why would he threaten everyone with his own life?!” Zoe exclaimed right then.

She had felt sympathy at first but only found contempt now with that cheap move, adding grumpily, “She’s not the only one with a limp-Jay is, and he’s not

going on a selfdestructive spiral. Heck, he has a stout heart despite his disability!”

Jay was just going to share a toast with the boys and was left wondering if he should actually drink it.

Still, his wife was praising him for showing perseverance from a different point of view!

Bob began, “I mean, right after Jay was disabled, he—”

“Ahem.” Jay cleared his throat warningly.

“Oh, whatever,” Bob pouted. “Let’s drink.”

The men started drinking again, changing the subject.

Things were cordial around the dinner table, with Quinn looking like she was in a good mood, joking with Cordy and Zoe from time to time.

However, the three empty bottles in front of her did not escape anyone’s notice.

Zoe had enough and was going to stop Quinn when Cordy stopped her.

When Zoe shot Cordy a pointed look, Cordy texted her: [ Quinn’s stressed.

Letting her relax is nothing bad.] This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Zoe: [I’m worried. She’s going to get drunk.]

Cordy: [Leave her be. She might come around after she did.)

Zoe: [But I’m frustrated! Things were going well for her and Sam, only for Ryan to meddle.]

Cordy: [Just give them time.]

Zoe: (Yeah, but you know how I hate waiting. I could tell her about everything Sam prepared for her right now.]

Cordy: [Respect the man’s choice.]
