A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 268

"Finally! Time for food!" Zoe said excitedly as she walked up to them.

Cordy felt a little guilty. She knew Zoe had been waiting for them, and hadn't eaten all day because of that.

Zoe was enthusiastic about it, but John simply stared at Cordy. Just then, his stomach let out a loud rumble.

"...Zoe ordered it for you. You should eat before you leave," Cordy finally said.

John had been fighting down a smile, and the corner of his lips quirked up at her reply. Zoe also had a cunning smile on her face at Cordy's words.

Somehow, Cordy felt like she had been set up by the two of them.

Zoe finished with a wink at John.

John was speechless.
