A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 1144

He loved her to the core. Could he watch her throw herself into another man's arms?

John did not want to talk much with Zoe. "Are you going or not?"

"Are you leaving?" Zoe appeared disappointed.

"I have something else to do."

"Have some wine." Zoe grabbed his clothes and refused to let go. "Let's have a drink since you're here!"

John glared at Zoe.

"It's been a long time since we last had a drink. You finally came back alive. Just do me the favor." Zoe picked up a glass of wine and shoved it into John's hands.

John's face turned gloomy.

"Just sit for a while if you're free," Cordy chimed in. "After all, we'll go back in a while because we need to wake up early tomorrow."

John's heart wavered. He pursed his lips and answered, "Hmm."

"Tsk!" Zoe was full of scorn. "It's useless no matter how much I say. Just one word from Cordy is enough to persuade you!"

"Isn't that what you wish for?" Quinn inevitably criticized her.

Zoe thought for a while. "That seems to be the case."

After that, she became overjoyed. "Come. Let’s drink and celebrate Cordy's last night of being single!"

Three people lifted their glasses.

"Hurry up," Zoe urged John.

Hence, John had no choice but to lift his glass.

He did not want to celebrate her last night of being single at all.

But…

He raised the glass and drank with them.

Though Zoe promised to just stay for a while, she was quite excited and wanted to go after getting wasted.

She could also leave some space for John and Cordy.

After they left, it became slightly awkward.

Cordy did not drink much, with John and Zoe being the ones who were drinking.

John could drink a lot, but he could not take it when Zoe wanted to drink so enthusiastically. At that moment, he was slightly drunk and felt a slight discomfort in his stomach.

In the silence, Cordy got up out of the blue.

With that, John put away the things he wanted to say.

Cordy was still bothered by his arrival very much, but she just behaved out of cordiality.

He rubbed his sick belly and sent Jay a message, asking him to come and pick Zoe up.

Zoe could not drink anymore, and it would be out of the line if she continued drinking.

After he sent the message and was about to get up, someone handed him a glass of warm water all of a sudden.
