Cora said, "Me too."But in reality, she knew all her vegetables.She was the one who lived with Clara as a child and went through all manner of sufferings, from washing clothes by hand to cooking.It hurt her to think of her painful childhood in contrast to Zoe's.However, she forced herself not to show it.Nonetheless, as they strode along the farm together, they were startled to find something dashing through the fields.It was a huge black dog, and it was running straight for them!"Argh!"Both Zoe and Cora screamed—what was that thing doing there?! And it had a beastly look on its face, like it was going to bite someone!Both Zoe and Cora felt as if their souls left them.The production crew also reacted too late—before they could jump in, the dog had already leaped toward Zoe and Cora, knocking them to the ground!"Help!!!" Cora shrieked as the dog towered over her.Zoe was on the ground as well, but the dog obviously was not aiming for her.Just as it was to bring

Even though Jay tried to reach them as fast as he could, he was still the last to arrive—both Zoe and Cora had already gotten up off the ground. Bob carried Cora away, while one of the female staff helped Zoe walk.They had to get checked and get a vaccination shot for rabies.Filming was probably going to be delayed, given the situation."Zoe," Jay called out as he rushed toward her, sweating buckets. "Were you hurt? Where?""Here." Zoe simply showed him her hand instead of hiding it—there were clear bite marks on her fair skin, cutting skin and drawing blood and leaving some bruising around it.Jay's heart could get numb from the pain just then. "Does it hurt?""Yeah." Zoe nodded, appearing a little upset just then."I'm sorry," Jay apologized."It's not your fault.""If I'd stayed with you…""It would break my heart if it bit you too," Zoe said bluntly.Jay stared at Zoe, his eyes a little red as he quietly nodded.He could not carry Zoe like Bob did with his crippled

Neither Zoe nor Cora could stop themselves from crying out loud.However, while Jay was holding Zoe's hand firmly as if he would rather be the one hurting, Bob was staring at their direction too when he heard Zoe's cry.In fact, his eyes were still fixed on Zoe even though he was standing beside Cora, who kept crying out from the pain.Eventually, she had enough and called out to him quietly, "Bob."Bob turned toward her and asked in concern, "Does it hurt? Zoe was screaming murder there."Cora did not answer, but her gaze darkened further.-After Cora and Zoe's bite wounds were disinfected and bandaged, they were given a rabies shot and admitted for further observation just in case.If nothing happened, they could return to North City, where they would have another shot to complete the vaccination.Both Zoe and Cora were staying in VVIP wards, and they did not have to worry about the presence of intruders.However, there seemed to be distance between Bob and Cora even thoug

Cora's pupils dilated as she stared at Bob in disbelief. He actually wanted to break up with her? What did the years she spent with him amounted to?!"I have done wrong by you, so let's just end it here before we get married," Bob said then. "I'll explain everything to our parents about my reasons, and I'll do any PR work necessary to help you get through any difficulties you have at work.""Are you really doing this to me, Bob?!" Cora's eyes were red, and she could not stop her tears no matter what she tried.Bob hung his head. "I don't know how to make it up to you, just as I can't lie to you that I don't love Zoe anymore. All the mistakes in the past were my fault, and you can do whatever you want—I'll try to guarantee your satisfaction as much as I can.""What do you take me for! Did you think I dated you because I wanted something from you? How could you be so cruel, Bob?!"Bob simply stayed silent, because he genuinely had no words to assure Cora when he dated her just bec

"You already have my uncle, Zoe! Why would you seduce Bob too?!" Cora demanded right then.Zoe pursed her lips—Cora noticed how Bob felt toward her, just as she thought."That's enough, Cora. This is between us—don't get others involved," Bob said then, suddenly a little louder.He had behaved mildly earlier, but even that seemed to fade in an instant."You're siding with her?! I'm your fiancee, Bob! And she's a married woman!" Cora became even more hysterical, at that, unable to understand how Zoe was better than her.Why did everyone love her so much?Even her grandfather occasionally called her 'Zoe' before he died!She really had enough! "Cut it out. We're leaving," Bob said, restraining his own temper just then."No," Cora said determinedly, and wheeled on Jay. "Uncle Jay, Bob and Zoe had all of us fooled. They were—""I know," Jay said, cutting her short.Cora was left taken aback, and she stared at Jay in disbelief.He knew? And he would still spoil Zoe so much?!D

Zoe began, "Bob and I—""I don't mind," Jay said determinedly.Zoe raised her brow. "Why are you interrupting me if you don't?"Did men lie despite appearances too?Jay pursed his lips. "I just don't want you to say his name.""How is that not minding?!" Zoe exposed him mercilessly right then."I can pretend I don't know.""You're just lying to yourself." Zoe pouted.Jay, however, was fine with that—he was already perfectly content that Zoe would return to his side.Nothing mattered in comparison."I'm still going to tell you," Zoe suddenly said. Jay flashed a feeble smile at her. "Because you knew I can't do anything to you, huh?""Since when is that so?" Zoe snorted grumpily. "My life is in your hands, isn't it?""Are you sure it's not the other way round?""Why can't you ever be honest, Jay? Who's the one who kept rejecting me so hard like it would kill him to accept me, only to end up marrying me because of Yelena?! Don't you have a conscience, constantly lying like

Jay could not hold back an expletive right then, "Am I fucking dead to you, Zoe?!"He was on the verge of getting a stroke, and he really wanted to get into fisticuffs with Bob right then!Zoe simply beamed at him. "All I wanted to say was that Bob and I are clean. Nothing happened even when we were dating.""So you're regretting that now?" Jay growled through his teeth."That's not the point," Zoe replied, speechless."I already know that anyway." Jay was certainly smart enough to not miss that."You knew?"No way! She had been so close with Bob at the time that anyone would be skeptical!"When we filmed the last episode of Journey of Love, during that heart-to-heart we had with the director, you revealed that your first time was with me.""And you believe that?" Zoe asked."I did." Jay nodded.Like he said, he knew Zoe well enough—she would never lie.However, he still had to admit that he had felt pleased for a long while when he found out.He was fine with being labele

Jay apologized. "I'm sorry."Whatever the reason was, he had abandoned Zoe in the end and did not stay by her side."It's alright," Zoe replied, accepting his apology and knowing what it was about.And she was really over it too, even if she was not as carefree as she imagined for the longest time and did not understand why she allowed Jay to deflower her and abandon her repeatedly.That was until now, when she genuinely realized that the past was not as important as she believed.And because it was not, she could now tell Jay everything.In a way, it was saying goodbye to the past.Jay held her gaze in turn and quietly said, "At that time, I… was involved in a car accident." Zoe did a double take.She knew about the accident, but not when specifically."After I left that day, I went straight to the film set. The production was on a tight schedule, so it was very late when I finally left—and I was the one who told you to wait for me."Did that mean… she was the reason he go

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
