A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 1038

Zoe felt as if her heart was stabbed just then too.

She had always been convinced that Jay never loved her, that Jay was only being nice to her to win

points with the Levines so that he could continue to live with them in wealth and glamor.

She never thought that Jay's obedience came from his desire to stay with her, even though he was

always so withdrawn and aloof.

Naturally, she had even less reason to expect that Jay had been rejecting her because he believed

they were biologically related.

And he never told her... because he was worried it would hurt her?

It just might be true, because she would rather hate him than accept that a love between them was

impossible!

"I used to doubt Alan," Jay continued then. "I was sure that he just didn't want me to be with Zoe since I

was adopted and lacking in status to marry her. That's why I had been sneaking off with his genetic

material to perform paternity tests, doing one after another until I finally gave up on hoping... and

became convinced that I was Alan's son and Zoe's uncle."

Zoe felt a pang of aching over her chest as she imagined Jay going to the DNA test center to do those

tests.

Was he staring at those papers, hiding in a quiet corner and sobbing to himself?

On the other hand, all she did back then was complain and throw spiteful tantrums, thinking the worst

of him.

"I never could tell Zoe that we were blood related, because I myself took it so hard it almost destroyed

me. I would never allow Zoe to suffer the

same anguish I did, so all I told her was that I never loved her-that I was just being nice to her to earn

the family’s favor, that I feel no different

toward her as I did the rest of them."

Zoe was in turn biting her lip in fear that she would lose control and start bawling in front of so many

'Jay Parker, you fool.'

How could he take everything upon his shoulders?

Did he know how much she hated him over those years?!

There were times when she wanted to just pick up a knife and stab him to death, and then kill herself.

If he told her the truth, she might have taken it hard, or fallen apart... but she would never have hated

him! 1nvëlx.o

"Later, Zoe left the Levines to build a career for herself in showbiz. The Levine estate was vast at the

time, but they have barely anyone to manage it. That was why they let her out on her own and never

offered her any support in showbiz-it was an attempt to make things hard for her, so that she would

give up on her dreams."
