Zoe was really capable of making someone fall apart in an instant.
And right then, she said smugly, "You now have to address me as Aunt Zoe."
John took a deep breath, clearly a little annoyed.
Even Jay had to be impressed with Zoe-rarely was anyone capable of leaving John bristling with just a
few words.
Nonetheless, Zoe remained serious, "You should seize your chance-you still have a few months, so
don't blame your Aunt Zoe for not warning you now. Just give me a head's up when you've made up
your mind, and I'll help."
John rolled his eyes and ignored Zoe, whereas Jay hid a smile nearby.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe should have brought her to meet John if he knew she would liven things up like this.
It was certainly awkward when silence ensued between two grown men, especially since said silence
could stay an entire day.
But with Zoe around, awkwardness and whatnot was nonexistent.
As such, Jay often brought Zoe with him to the hospital ever since the first visit.
She certainly was not as cold as she appeared-in fact, when they headed home after the first visit, she
suddenly clung on to Jay and started crying tears of joy.
She just did not like to show emotions around others, and in that sense, Zoe had now fully accepted
him as her better half.
And Jay was certainly content with that.
A month later, John was finally discharged.
Having taken a while to recover, his current facial appearance did not appear from his old one.
Zoe and Jay came to get him together, and Zoe proved incorrigible again. "You scared me so much
when I saw you again, and I thought you'd be permanently disfigured... Well, at least you look exactly
average now."
"Zoe!" John snapped, glowering like he usually would, pulling rank as her senior..xo
However, Zoe retorted sternly, "Don't try to intimidate me- I'm your aunt now. You'd best watch your
manners around me."
John was left glaring at her murderously, while Jay hid a smile nearby.
"By the way, are you really not planning to take Cordy back now that you've regained your sweet
cheeks?" Zoe mused solemnly. "She's just returned, and I have a reliable source stating that she'll be
taking wedding photos with Patrick next week."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJohn stayed silent, so Zoe pressed, "I'm serious, John. Cordy will really marry another man if you don't
make a move."
Jay finally spoke up, unable to stand it anymore. "Just cut it out."
Zoe pout. "Anyway, you'll regret not listening to your elders."
Silence ensued in the car soon after, when John suddenly said, "Take me to Levine Manor."
"Levine Manor?" Jay repeated for confirmation.
"Yeah."
"Okay," Jay did not press the issue-even if things had become unpleasant between him and the
Levines, it did not affect their relationship.
It was not to mention there were not that many Levines left, and Jay always could see how Nancy had
been good to John.
Jay hence told the chauffeur to take them to Levine Manor, and as John got off, he asked, "Aren't you
coming?"
"No," Jay said shortly.
John said seen the news, and nodded-he would never press the issue.
