A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 443


    Chapter 443


    After dinner, Bob hurriedly left with Sam and Jay.


    He had always celebrated his birthday that way-he would apany his parents and


    elders at home and eat with them in the morning, while it was his time after dinner.


    They were about to leave Davis Vi when Yulia suddenly stopped him.


    “Bob,” Yulia said. “Bring Cora along.”


    “How can I enjoy myself if I bring her along?” Bob became quite displeased.


    “You can have a great time just the same. She can join you.”


    “But we’re all men…”


    “So, I asked Cora to keep an eye on you,” Yulia said overbearingly. “In short, I’ll leave


    her in your care.”


    “Why me?” Bob was infuriated. “Jay is the closest to her among the three of us. He’s


    her uncle. You should leave her in Jay’s care instead.”


    Jay nced at Bob-thetter was good at shirking his responsibility.


    “I don’t care who’s in charge. In short, you guys have to take care of her. Nancy and I


    want to y poker at home, so you’ve got to keep an eye on her. If anything happens,


    I’ll


    beat you to death when you’re back,” Yulia said, threatening them.


    After that, she did not give Bob any chance to refuse before she ced Cora in their


    care and left.


    The three of them and Cora were the only ones left after Yulia had left.


    Appearing very timid, Cora lowered her head in slight anxiety and did not dare to


    voice out.


    Bob was rendered speechless.


    When he was about topromise, Jay suddenly suggested, “Bob, Sam, you guys


    can go first. I’ll give Cora a ride.”


    Bob looked at Jay with his eyes widened.


    They were buddies for so many years, so they had some kind of tacit understanding.


    He naturally knew that Jay wanted to see Cora off.

    Bob punched Jay jokingly and soon broke into a joyful smile.


    “Well, I’ll wait for you.”


    “Okay.”


    Bob and Sam left first.


    Jay then said to Cora, “Let’s go.”


    “Alright.”


    She followed him into his car, and it was very quiet in the car. Cora had wanted to


    speak up several times, but she did not know what to say.


    “I’ll give you a ride home,” Jay spoke out of his initiative.” The games we enjoy won’t


    be suitable for you.”


    Cora soon appeared slightly disappointed, and she bit her lip tightly. She questioned


    after a long while, “Uncle Jay, do you hate me very much?”


    Jay tightened his grip around the steering wheel.


    “I saw you badly injured for Zoe’s sake that day, and you even left the Levine family


    because of her…”


    “No, I don’t hate you.” Jay interrupted her coldly.


    “Do you think that I shouldn’t return to the Levine family?”


    “You’re Nancy’s daughter as well as a member of the Levine family. So, there’s no


    such thing as that.”


    “But you make me feel as if I’m back to snatch Zoe’s things,” Cora said in slight


    sadness. “I don’t want to be substituted by others if I had a choice. I would like to stay


    in the Levine family forever, and not experience the kind of pain my original family


    caused me which frightens me every time I recall it…”


    “You don’t have to exin it to me.” Jay tightened his grasp around the steering wheel


    even more.


    Cora was afraid of that family even in her remembrance, but it was now Zoe who had


    to suffer through that.


    “I’m not a member of the Levine family, and I don’t have any influence over them. So,


    you don’t have to care about my


    thoughts, and you don’t have to please me deliberately.” Jay made himself clear.


    Cora bit her lips hard. Naturally, she could discern his resistance toward her.


    They fell silent again before Cora summoned her courage and said, “Could you stop


    by the road for a while?”


    Jay knitted his brow.


    However, he still stopped the car by the road.


    “I’d like to get an apple pie,” Cora said. “My family was poor when I was young. The


    only thing I looked forward to was my foster mother bringing home an apple pie every


    night after work.”


    Jay instinctively wanted to wait for her in the car.


    He suddenly looked out of the car window. This was the ce where Zoe had had a


    meal before.


    She came out at midnight in the cold winter for an apple pie, and he yearned to know


    what it tasted like.


    “I’ll go and get a takeout…” Cora was afraid of dying him.


    “I’ll eat with you,” Jay added out of the blue. Cora was overwhelmed by his favor.
