A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1008
Zoe stared at the ice cream she was holding, and wondered if she should finish it.That was when she suddenly remembered Jay kissing her, as well as the touch of his lips…She immediately threw the ice cream into the trash can.That devious man! He was doing everything he could just to stop her from finishing that ice cream!She quickly ran after Jay and Yelena, joining them as they queued up for the Ferris wheel. She never noticed someone taking photos of her from a distance.-They queued for a long while until it was finally their turn on the Ferris wheel. Yelena really liked it, constantly getting excited whenever the Ferris wheel rose into the air.It was no exception this time as she beamed cheek to cheek, leaning against the glass window of the Ferris wheel."Don't lean on the window, Yelena," Zoe told Yelena. "It looks dangerous even from where I'm sitting."Yelena pouted, clearly refusing to listen.In fact, she wasn’t moving an inch.The brat had been getting ful

Zoe wasn’t trying to provoke Jay or scorning him, but…Fine, she could admit that it hurt her to see how difficult life was for Jay these days. It was why she blurted out such thoughtless words.And the look on Jay's face now, she felt like she had wounded him again."I mean…” she went on awkwardly. “Don't get me wrong, I just think…" Even as she quickly tried to explain, she fumbled her words once again—which she seemed to do every time the situation became tense. "The doctors told me that chances of recovery are very low. I've tried physiotherapy before as well, but the effect wasn’t obvious," Jay said calmly, his emotions inscrutable.But whatever the case may be, he seemed really wounded.Before Zoe could say more, Jay had Yelena sit on his lap, and steered his wheelchair ahead.Zoe watched as he left, feeling so guilty she could die.-They only had a simple lunch after spending the day at the amusement park. Moreover, Yelena was too energetic and never ate much as she

Zoey followed Jay into the elevator.She wanted to speak several times, but gave up whenever she saw the stern look on Jay's face in the mirror within the elevator.Even if she had cleared the air—even if they were now in a proper relationship, there was still a huge distance between them.Arriving home, Zoe immediately picked up the strong scent of food.And she had been famished.They had been playing with Yelena the whole day without eating much, so eating something a little late would probably be fine."Welcome home," Clara greeted them warmly as she approached them. "Oh, Yelena’s asleep already?"She took Yelena off Jay's arms as if it was only natural, and Jay didn’t reject her in any way.In other words, Jay was only being distant towards Zoe.He then told Clara, "We've been playing the entire day. Let her sleep.""Okay." Clara always spoiled Yelena, and naturally couldn’t bear to wake her since she was sleeping so soundly. Carrying Yelena into her room, Clara said,

Jay suddenly said, "You won't get fat in a day.""You're a riot. I'm going to be a pound heavier tomorrow, with half of it on my cheeks and the other half on my waist…"Zoe closed her eyes, stopping herself from imagining the sight. "You were watching me eat, Jay! Why didn't you remind me of the so-called actress' self-discipline?!""You told me not to remind you."Zoe was speechless. With friends like these, who needed enemies?!She slammed her fork and knife on the table right then and left the table.Jay certainly knew that she was already making a run for the body weight scale in the room.Soon, they heard a blood-curdling scream from the room.In reality, she would at most have gained a quarter of a pound…"Jay, I guess you should eat more." Clara gestured at Jay just then, used to Zoe's obsession with weight."Okay," Jay replied and kept eating.Yelena woke up after he was finished, and he played with her a little to clear her drowsiness and kept her company as she a

Zoe was a little annoyed.Was Jay that sensitive to her presence?She really wondered just then how he remained so calm whenever she put the moves on him back at Levine Manor.These days, it was like he flared up the instant she looked his way!She slid her dainty hands against his bare skin just then, but he caught her. "Get some sleep soon. It's a long journey tomorrow.""But… we can't do it once we leave tomorrow."Whether there were cameras in their room tomorrow night, they were still doing a recording away from home. There certainly was no way they could get frisky, ignoring the presence of the entire production crew, right?Jay began, "Zoe—"Zoe cut him short right then. "I repulse you, right?"Jay did a double take. "I thought it's the other way around."The pot was calling the kettle black!"I… That's why we have to learn more," Zoe said as if it was only natural, even though he was clearly blushing. Jay's heart was racing in turn, but he had to admit that today

Zoe asked in exhaustion, "What time is it?"Did they not have a recording today?!"It's still early. You can sleep a little longer if you're sleepy.""But can we make it?" Zoe pressed, unable to open her eyes wide and actually intending to sleep in."Yeah.""Okay. I'm sleeping a little longer," Zoe said and tossed around.Even that took considerable effort, and she made a mental note not to tease Jay from now on.Honestly, she should not even touch him or the consequences would be too severe!However, she stiffened right then—even as she turned her back toward Jay, he gathered her in his arms from behind with a bear hug.Still, he said, "Don't worry. I'm holding back."Zoe was silent but skeptical, though she fell asleep anyway.She had no idea how long had passed when she woke up again and stretched.Jay was still holding her firmly in his arms from behind.And here she was wondering why it felt like she was suffering sleep paralysis—it was all Jay."You're awake?" he as

Zoe promptly tapped on the article, which briefly described their family of three going out on a playdate.There were some exaggerated parts here and there but nothing malicious.She then scrolled through the comments.[Can I just say that this is so sweet it hurts? I'm so jealous…][Jay Parker usually looks so reserved and aloof, but there's no hiding it when you're in love.][How could anyone look that good? They really deserve each other.][Oh, I think I believe in love again now…][This public display of affection caught me off guard, but I approve!]Zoe scrolled through a huge portion of the comments, but most of them were nice.At least there was nothing like 'hurting public morals', 'society these days', or 'family unfriendly'.She decided to be more careful when they were out in public next time around.However, she realized that it was not even her fault after some thought—it was clearly Jay's."So? I take it that you've seen it?" Cordy teased from the other end.

Zoe quickly washed up and got changed before leaving the house with Jay.He brought her some low-fat food, and she asked worriedly, "Are we really not going to affect recording progress?"She was really afraid of getting scandalized, since she still wanted to stay in showbiz."We'll be fine. Don't worry.""Alright," Zoe said, telling herself to trust Jay as well.He had never broken a promise before, after all.-Later, Zoe finally found out how Jay could be so direct. The second episode was to be filmed at a huge farm situated up in the mountains. Aside from organic and natural crops, there was also a ranch for livestock.They were supposed to ride a land vehicle through a rugged mountain path, but Zoe and Jay went there on a helicopter. As such, while traveling on land would have taken them six hours, they arrived in just two hours, saving them a total of four hours. What was more, two of the other couples were still on the way there when they arrived, and one of them was

Soon, another nurse emerged from the delivery room with a small bundle. "Is the mother's family here?""Yes!" John exclaimed loudly."The delivery was successful," the nurse said. "The baby weighs eight pounds—""How is she?" John asked in agitation, not caring about the child."She's fine. The doctor is just helping her clean up and she'll be out soon," the nurse replied.As John breathed a sigh of relief, the nurse reminded him, "Aren't you the father? Here's your child."John took the baby off her arms, staring at her for a moment as the others flocked around him. "Oh, she's so fair!" Zoe could not help exclaiming. "That's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen.""Are you saying that your son's ugly?" Bob teased."To be honest, yeah," Zoe replied without thinking.Jay cleared his throat—even if it was a subjective opinion, it still hurt to have his own baby called ugly."Let me carry her," Zoe volunteered just then, and John did not hesitate to hand her his baby.As Zoe

"What?!" Zoe exclaimed in shock.Beside them, John's face fell despite being usually stoic.Still, even before anyone could react, he scooped Cordy up in his arms and left.Zoe did not hesitate to follow, but Jay reminded her, "We're the hosts, Zoe.""Don't care." Zoe was completely unconcerned. "Ask my mom and your sister to handle the guests. I'm going with Cordy!"Jay hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow since there was no reasoning with Zoe.Sam and Quinn also realized that something was out of place.As they pulled away reluctantly, Bob shouted from below, "If you're done kissing, we're going to the hospital! Cordy's going into labor!"Quinn hurried after them as soon as she hurt, but Sam caught her. "Slow down. We can catch up."In fact, most of the guests were leaving as well—it was as if the banquet for Zoe's son was actually intended for everyone else.The poor boy was certainly unlucky to have such unreliable parents!-As everyone rushed to the hospit

"I'm swelling from my pregnancy," Quinn explained. "It's not your fault."Sam was left staring at her for a while before asking, "So, what should I do?""I'll put it on when I slim down.""Oh." Sam was a little disappointed, since he had always dreamed of having her put on the ring he had custom made.But this was fine—they had all the time they needed, and the most important thing for him is that Quinn was marrying him!He rose to his feet just then, and everyone was cheering as soon as he did. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"Quinn blushed right then, and Sam could see that she was embarrassed.He did not want to make things awkward for her, even if he was quite eager at the moment.Heaven knows how much he missed that night's drunken fumble they had. In fact, during the times he remembered it in dreams, he had to wash his pants when he woke up.Still, just as he took Quinn's hand and started to leave, he felt a softness on his lips—Quinn was kissing him! Sam's heart pounded thunderous

Everyone waited patiently for the final outcome.Quinn's eyes were welling up with tears, threatening to gush if she so much as blinked.She did her best to hold back her tears—to be strong!Sam pursed his lips in turn, his Adam's apple bobbing.A long while passed, and it felt like a century for Quinn when she finally heard him say, "Yes."Quinn's tears started falling in happiness as Sam declared loudly, "I'll marry you, Quinn—it's what I've always wanted to do! I won't let you go even if you regret it eventually! You only get to be with me, and I'll never let any other man claim you! I'll become very overbearing… eventually!""I won't regret it," Quinn said, determined.She certainly would not regret marrying him!Zoe walked up to them with perfect timing just then, and Sam did a double take.He finally remembered that Zoe was the host of this luncheon and was going to leave with Quinn when Zoe whipped out a small red velvet box."You know what's in here, don't you?" Zoe a

However, Sam had already pushed Quinn away before she could tell him. But even if he did not love her or did not want to be with her, she would never stay with Ryan.She had been disappointed in Sam, wondering why he would give up so easily.Was she that unimportant to him?Therefore, if it were not for Zoe and Cordy showing her that video or telling her so much, she would never have known that he loved her for years…Sam's heart ached even as he looked into Quinn's tearful eyes.He reached out a hand, but soon withdrew it—would he not burden her?Even so, it hurt to restrain himself as he watched her, and he was actually getting the feeling that Quinn loved him…But she already had Ryan's child…Well, he was fine with that, as long as the child was Quinn's.But would she not mind?"I will marry you, Sam," Quinn said slowly and clearly then. "Not because you're a good man, not because you prepared so much for me, and not because of how much you prepared for me, but because I

Everyone in the hall was staring at Sam and Quinn, while Quinn took center stage, staring fixedly at Sam.He stood in the middle of the crowd, watching her silently.She in turn felt fear that he would turn and leave, just as she did not know if she had the courage to stand before him again and to declare her feelings for him in front of so many others.Nonetheless, amid the deafening silence, Sam suddenly walked toward the stage.His pace was slow as if his feet were made of lead, but he was also unusually determined.Quinn's heart raced uncontrollably right then!Everyone else was watching them nervously, especially Cordy and Zoe, with the latter being especially concerned that the cowardly Sam would bail.Fortunately, he was a man who showed responsibility. He would not leave Quinn alone and embarrassed.Hence, as everyone looked on, Sam stood before Quinn, his gaze flickering as their eyes met.He gulped ever so slightly, his emotions clearly ruffled even as he did his bes

The guests were encouraging, loudly asking, "Why?!""Because of a woman," Sam's recording replied."Who is it?""Quinn Summer," the Sam on the screen said slowly and clearly, leaving the Sam who was in the hall stunned.What the hell?! That was the proposal video he prepared before! Why did it show up here? Did Zoe make a mistake?!He knew it—leave anything to Zoe, and she would mess it up!He started striding toward the stage, intent on stopping the recording, when John and Bob intercepted him with a look of utter guilt while the recording continued. "Quinn is my wife, and we've been married for years, but I've never really loved her—not because I don't, but because I'm afraid to. I feel too insignificant in comparison to the one she loves, so I'd always hurt her… painfully and childishly. I regret that so much now, Quinn. How could I have abandoned you for so long because of my own jealousy? I'd rather hold you in my sleep every night, but my damned pride denied me that for y

At the banquet hall, Jay and Zoe were thanking their guests with their children in their arms.Then, Zoe announced excitedly, "Please give my best friend, who is also my son's godmother, a warm applause as she comes on stage!"Sam stood at a corner of the hall, watching as Quinn walked up the stage, only realizing just then that her belly was clearly swelling despite her baggy clothes.Time flies—he had not left that long ago, but she and Ryan already had a child.She was not worried about giving him a stroke, was she?He watched as Quinn took the mic and looked around below searching, seemingly searching.After a while, he thought she was looking at him, but by the time he looked up, she had already turned away.Maybe she was looking for Ryan before remembering that Ryan was not there?Nonetheless, Quinn spoke into the mic, saying, "I'm honored to be chosen as the godmother to Zoe's son, and she's been saying he'd be engaged to my child if it's a girl. I already love my godson

As their eyes met, Sam turned frantic and averted his. "Of course.""Really?" Quinn asked."Would I lie to you?" Sam asked a little grumpily."And you didn't bring her back?" Quinn asked."I'm on a schedule, and it'd be taxing for her if I bought her along," Sam said, making things up as he went along. "I'll bring her along when things are less busy.""Is she pretty?" Quinn pressed."What, have I ever picked an ugly one?" Sam snorted smugly. "You know I prefer curvaceous types, and there are plenty of those abroad.""Do you have a photo?"Sam was silent for a while and eventually said, "Yeah.""Can I see it?""What, does she have to pass your assessment?""Just curious about the girl who can tempt you to settle down," Quinn replied. "You'd be humbled." Sam hastily came up with an excuse."I won't," Quinn said, determined."You'll see her when I bring her home." Sam refused nonetheless."I would like to see a photo now.""No, she's not that photogenic. It'd be slander a
