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. I thought that he had been good to me and Cora, and he did not seem to mind that I was a single mother..."

He seemed to change immediately after that and kept coaxing me to give it to him so he could start a business in the city. He appeared determined, so I didn't stop him, but it turns out that he wasn't built for it. Soon, all our money was gone, our house taken as collateral, and to top it off, he became a drug addict."
