A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 453

Jay thought that his voice was so soft that it was almost indiscernible.

Yet, Zoe heard it.

She looked at him. "What's the matter?"

"Things look very good between you and Bob," Jay said with a smile.

"Aren't you very glad about that?" Zoe said as she looked straight at him.

"No..."

"It's all thanks to you," Zoe said forthrightly, "If it weren't for your rejection, I wouldn't have known how good Bob is. I didn't even know I could like someone so much."

Jay swallowed past his constricted throat.

He dared not reveal his inner emotions, for he was afraid that he might lose control over himself.

"You're probably very surprised that Bob and I even got together in the first place, I suppose?" Zoe looked at Jay as she went on, "Bob has been carrying a torch for me for many years, but because he knew that I liked you, he kept his feelings to himself, for fear that he might lose the friendship should he confess. It was only until I faced difficulties and he helped me overcome them without question that he finally confessed to me that he liked me."

Jay listened on as Zoe recounted her love story with Bob.

"If it weren't for Bob, I wouldn't have remained who I am now."
