A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1023
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

Zoe asked grumpily, "Jay Parker, is it really that easy to give up on me?!""No," Jay quickly replied."Then why would you do it time after time?""Well, what's our relationship now?" Jay asked in return.Zoe frowned, but it slowly dawned on her that he was pointing out that they were married.If he really wanted to abandon her, why would he marry her now?Somehow, that thought granted her comfort. "Yeah, me too," Zoe suddenly said."What?" Jay asked, a little confused just then."I never abandoned you, even if you left me in despair repeatedly. Whenever you made a move, I'd…"Zoe trailed off, reluctant to finish—she had her pride too!But she could not lie either… Even so, no matter how Jay hurt her, he just had to do something—anything—and she would be defenseless."Anyway, about Bob…"Zoe suddenly brought the conversation back on track.It left Jay feeling like he was stabbed—repeatedly.Bob was certainly a thorn in his side…Zoe said, looking Jay straight in the

Jay looked at Zoe in turn and said solemnly, "Me too. You're the only one I ever loved."The love in his eyes was all too obvious."Then… Have you never loved anyone else before?" It was not as if Zoe doubted Jay—in fact, she was dead sure that he loved her, at least now.But was he really abstinent before too? Did he really only fall in love at this age?!"Be it in the past or the present, the only one I love is—"Jay was suddenly cut off by the ringing of his phone.Zoe frowned.The mood between them was just perfect! Who could have such poor timing to interrupt them right now?!She was predicting that things would get even more spicier than before tonight and was naturally a little annoyed.Still, Jay answered his phone after hesitating for a moment—it was Ruby Jones, producer of Journey of Love.And they were in showbiz, so courtesy was necessary."Hello, Ms. Jones." Jay greeted Ruby politely."Are you still in the hospital right now, Mr. Parker?""Yes, we are.""Ho

There were also videos and photos of Jay abroad receiving treatment, all of them evidence indicating Zoe was not with him at the time—that they were lying to everyone.Naturally, they were flamed soon after the news was leaked.[My god! Is this real?! Unbelievable… I shipped them so much, but it's all lies!][This is disgusting if it's true! They are treating us like idiots, deceiving us like this!][Well, what's their relationship, really? And who's the father?][I even heard that they are doing a variety show together, that they were being sweet. Is that all fake too?]Both Jay and Zoe were scowling harder by the second as they scrolled through the radical comments."I'll be direct, Mr. Parker. I'm sure you know better than I do, since I'm sure you know better than I do that anything can happen in showbiz," Ruby said, having given Jay enough time to check the news."Of course. Tell me." Jay remained calm and composed.Zoe, who was on the verge of screaming, was actually impr

"Are you really not worried at all?" Zoe asked Jay. "I mean, we really did lie to the public, and that's going to stick! Our careers will suffer from this permanently…"Zoe was seized with further panic the more she spoke, especially since she was the reason for all this.If it was not to save her reputation, Jay would never have publicly announced their marriage.And now, she was dragging him down with her.She was fine with anything that came her way, but Jay would now suffer with her…"Don't worry. I can handle this," Jay said, even giving her an assuring look just then."But…""Just rest. I'll make some calls, set up an arrangement.""What are you going to do?""You'll know soon enough.""You're keeping it from me?""Just didn't want to worry you.""I'm already worried." Zoe huffed. "The more you tell me not to, the more I'm panicking here.""Be good now," Jay said, patting her head. "Believe in your husband—believe that he can protect you."Zoe felt a warm sensation

Cora was biting her lip.Yes, she was the one who leaked the news.To be precise, she had asked her mother to do it.She had lost her cool when she returned to her ward and texted her mother endlessly, saying things like Zoe had stolen twenty years of her life and was now messing around with Bob. She insisted that Zoe was intent on messing with her and had every intention to make her life miserable!For Nancy's part, she already owed Cora a lot, and Zoe was the symbol of her humiliation. In fact, she already had trouble abiding with Zoe's presence before, but she never made a move as she was worried about provoking Jay.But once Cora ranted to her over the phone, all hell broke loose.It took just ten minutes for the bombshell about Jay and Zoe's marriage to reach news headlines.Be that as it may, Cora was now afraid after causing such a huge mess.In fact, she had no idea why she was scared of Jay, but she always had been cowed by him.Maybe because Jay helped her on her ris

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
