Chapter 1209

Chapter 1209

John asked Cordy just then, “Is there some misunderstanding between you and Wendy? Should wemeet up to clear the air?”

“No, there’s no misunderstanding,” Cordy said resolutely. “It’s your own issue since you believe youknow what Wendy is like. I was just giving you a head’s up out of the kindness in my heart.”

“Okay,” John replied and said nothing else.

Cordy hung up right then, fuming.

He made it sound as if she was trying to drive a wedge in his relationship and took no notice of herkindness.

She took a deep breath and told herself that it was their business, and she should not have meddled atall.

There was no question that she was embarrassing herself too.

That was when Cordy’s phone rang.

She glanced at the caller, calmed herself down, and answered. “Zoe.”

“Bad day, huh?” Zoe asked.

“Nope.” Cordy denied it right away.

“I can tell from your tone right now, y’know,” Zoe said confidently.

Cordy pursed her lips—in the end, there was just no deceiving besties, was there?

“What is it?”

“Nothing. Just wanted to ask if you’re feeling alright after drinking so much last night,” Zoe said.

“I’m fine. Though I might really have been drunk if we kept at it.”

“By the way, what are you upset about?” Zoe asked.

She had always been very curious and always insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter.

Cordy was silent in turn, unsure if she should tell Zoe what she knew.

There would be too much pent-up frustration in her if she did not.

But if she did, she felt like she would be prying.

“Cordy, I always tell you everything, but you can’t do the same for me?” Zoe snapped, obviously a littleangry just then.

Cordy threw caution into the wind right then, deciding that she would be more upset if she held hertongue.

“Did you know that Wendy is hooking up with other men?”

“What?!” Zoe exclaimed in disbelief, her voice twice as loud right then.

“I mean, unless you think I’d spread false rumors about someone,” Cordy told her.

“No… I don’t think you’re lying, but I’m just surprised,” Zoe said, not quite understanding what she wasbeing told. “Wendy usually looks naive and she’s definitely a good girl, so why would she… Forget it.The point here is John is a good man. What is she even thinking, cheating on him?!”

Cordy could not understand it either—she presumed that Wendy would get her act together after shestarted dating John.

However, it only seemed to make her behavior escalate, as if it took a toll on her.

“Did you tell John?” Zoe asked just then.

“I did. He didn’t believe me.”

“That’s why you’re upset?”

Cordy said nothing but did not deny it either.

Even so, she was just miffed.

“Honestly, what is John thinking?” Zoe ranted right then. “How could he believe Wendy instead of you?I mean, how long has he met her, compared to you? Honestly, he’s being stupid. Serves him right thathe’s being deceived by a woman.”
