A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 770

Yelena sported a bob and baby fat remained on her adorable face. Her eyes were large and round and her skin was fair. She was bound to grow up as a beauty.

She slumped over the table listlessly, her face splat on the tablecloth.

Of course, Zoe knew that Yelena was like that because she was late. Yelena was angry and disappointed.

She hastened her footsteps and walked toward Yelena.

"Mommy!" The moment Yelena saw Zoe, her posture transformed completely.

Her entire demeanor brightened up, and even her eyes shone in the night.

She reached out her stumpy little arms and hugged Zoe as best as she could. "Mommy, you're finally here.’

"I'm sorry for being late."

"It's all right," Yelena said forgivingly in her sweet voice. "Granny said that although it is my birthday today, it was also a very difficult day for Mommy. Mommy gave birth to me on that day and suffered much pain. So we'll celebrate my birthday today, as well as what Mommy did."

Zoe felt warmth creep up her heart at Yelena's words.

She could not help but kiss Yelena on her cheeks and hug her back tightly.
