A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 779

Zoe quickly left Jay's bedroom, but she must’ve walked around the apartment twice before finding the laundry room.

She threw all her clothes inside and pressed the buttons…only to find that it would take almost two hours for her clothes to dry.

She suddenly remembered Jay taking Bob to his house three years ago, and how Bob vomited all over him.

Jay waited for two hours at the time, too.

The circle of life, indeed.

As Zoe stayed in the laundry room, Jay never came to check on her—he probably fell asleep right after taking his shower, since anyone would easily doze off with alcohol.

It was especially true for her, since she was already feeling drowsy without getting drunk.

Still, it was understandable since it was already past midnight.

She yawned endlessly, and checked the time to see that it was already one in the morning.

She hesitated for a while before heading to the vast living room, out of the laundry room.

The view outside the glass wall was indescribably beautiful. Zoe stood there, taking in the night view of North City.

It was certainly a feast of the eyes, but whatever.

She shouldn’t get greedy; everything depended on how things would turn out now.

Walking away from the window, she took a seat on a massage chair.

She planned to just sit there for a while, but the chair was just too comfortable. Not to mention, she had been sore all over after going on rehearsals everyday over the last few weeks.

She was just wondering if using the massage function would make her feel comfortable. However, even before she made up her mind, her body proved more earnest and started pressing the buttons, adjusting the chair to the most comfortable position.

As she nestled against the chair, she was overwhelmed with bliss and dozed off as the machine massaged her…

Jay watched as Zoe fell asleep with a faint smile on his lips.

In reality, he didn’t sleep.

And yet, his heart was still pumping at an irregular rhythm…

-

It was long past daybreak when Zoe shifted her body, feeling the softness of the cushion around her.

She looked around; it took her a long while to realize that she was still in Jay's house.

What time was it? It looked quite late already… Did she spend the whole night here?!

She promptly looked for her phone to see that it was way past eight—how did she fall asleep here?!

She quickly got up, and heard a familiar voice right then. "You're awake?"

Zoe jumped in surprise, and turned to find Jay making what looked like breakfast in the kitchen.

He was dead drunk last night, wasn’t he?
