A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 379


    Chapter 379


    It was now December, and full-blown winter in North City.


    Sam Saunders’s birthday was on the twelfth, and it was a grand asionaside from


    his usual friends, every important figure in North City was there.


    Cordy was invited too—she had been working hard on taking Starstream High


    Fashion to the market, so she used the asion to take a breather.


    She strode through the banquet hall in a subtle but elegant gown, and saw Quinn in


    the distance. Quinn had her hand around Sam’s arm, and was mingling with their


    guests.


    Cordy never saw Quinn wear red before, since she usually dressed conservatively as


    awyer. Thus, Quinn’s red gown was especially striking.


    And for some reason, she certainly looked like she belonged at Sam’s side —she was


    almost the epitome of a trophy wife.


    “Cordy,1 the familiar voice of a man called out just then, and Cordy turned to find Jay


    standing beside her.


    He seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and his fair face actually appeared pale now.


    “Long time no see,” she greeted him.


    “Yes.” Jay smiled politely.


    Cordy felt a pain in her chest-Jay actually fared much better than Zoe did, but there


    was just this feeling that he was in pieces.


    “Johnny’s here,” Jay told her, his eyes on the doorway.


    Cordy turned as well, to find John and Jessica appearing together at the banquet hall.


    The next second, Jay saw Cordy walking off into the distance.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Stepping out into the garden at the back, Cordy was having a breather on the swing


    while musing to herself that socializing with business partners was really dull.


    However, she had to take part.


    Cordy turned and saw Quinn stepping out as well. “Cordy.”


    Cordy smiled. ‘Tired already?”


    “Yeah. Feels like my leg could fall off,” Quinn said bluntly as she sat on the swing next


    to Gordy’s. “I’m really not used to high-heels.”


    “Take them off, let your feet breathe. I used to do that too,” Cordy told her.


    Quinn looked around before she did, and she couldn’t have felt better with her shoes


    off.


    “Zoe’s been doing welltely,” Quinn told her just then.


    “She’s stronger than we give her credit for.” Cordy grinned, nodding.


    “Yeah,’ Quinn agreed, breathing a sigh of relief.


    Still, their small talk was soon interrupted as a man Cordy didn’t recognize showed up.


    She had the feeling she had seen him before, but was somehow positive she did not.


    “So you were hiding here,” the man said to Quinn with a tender tone.


    Cordy seemed to feel Quinn stiffening right then.


    So, him and her…


    “It’s getting cold out here, Quinn. I’m going back inside,’ Cordy said tactfully.


    Quinn nodded.
