A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 1453

Right after he did, Cordy sent a direct message to Zoe: [Can you calm down and see what Quinn has to say first? Sam worked hard for this surprise. Don’t ruin it for him.]

Zoe promptly replied: [Okay, okay. I won’t talk.]

Back in the group chat, Quinn typed: [You knew, Zoe?]

Zoe replied: [Knew what? No idea.]

Quinn then responded: [Then what was that supposed to mean?]

Zoe promptly thought of something. [I mean, Sam did change. He used to goof off, and now he’s doing so well at work! Jay’s been praising him from time to time just to mess with Bob, since Bob’s the one who’s done nothing of note yet.) Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

She went on at length just to change the subject and cover up her blunder.

Still, Quinn replied: [I don’t mean at work, although he’s improved a lot on that front. I’m talking about his personal life.]

Zoe responded: [Personal life? Isn’t it going well? You two are doing fine now, no?]

Quinn continued: [I might just be imagining it.]

Zoe frowned. [Elaborate?]

Quinn paused in hesitation for several seconds before typing: [Sam and I almost did it the night before Cordy returned. But we didn’t expect my period to come.]

Zoe replied: [And?]

Quinn then typed: [Obviously, we didn’t do it. But I could tell that he really wanted to do it so much he could blow up.]

Zoe then responded: [No need to go into that much detail, sister. Continue.]

Quinn continued: [But it’s been days, and my period is already over.]

This time, Cordy sent a text before Zoe could. [Maybe he’s been really busy? Men can have performance issues, especially when they’re tired.]

Quinn replied: [I thought so too, since he’s been leaving early and coming home late. But he wasn’t around when I tried to find him in the office today, and when I called, he lied, saying he’s working.]

Both Cordy and Zoe were silent, since Sam was with them, picking a wedding ring.

Quinn then typed: [I think he’s having an affair.]

Zoe was just taking a sip of water and almost choked.

Jay, who was working from home as he had done most of the time these days, saw that.

Putting aside his work, he went over to her and rubbed her back. “Be careful. How could you choke on water?”

“I’m fine,” Zoe said, wiping her lips. “Go about your business.”

Jay frowned at her-she had really been behaving weirdly

She would always complain about how tiring it was being pregnant. Lately, however, she would always leave the house without him.

Whenever he asked, she would only say that she was hanging out with Cordy.

John did verify it when he asked, but Jay still felt like he was keeping something from him.

Wheeling himself back to his computer, he saw that he received a message from John.

[Have you noticed Zoe behaving strangely lately?]

Jay did a double take-was John being a psychic?

Another message arrived from John just then. [Cordy’s been behaving strangely for a while now.]

Jay came to a realization-so John thought Cordy was being weird too?

What on earth were their women up to?!
