A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1039
Jay continued, "That is why Zoe never revealed that she was a Levine no matter what trouble she got into over the years while being in showbiz. It was agreed that she would give up on her showbiz career if her identity was ever exposed… Therefore, when a paparazzi took photos of me with her in front of Levine Manor, drawing speculation of a potential affair, I publicly announced a relationship with Mandy Jessop so that Zoe's showbiz career was kept from harm—so that Zoe did not have to forfeit her career she had so much passion for."Zoe turned towards Jay in shock again, just like the rest of the journalists.So Jay had dated Mandy back then… for Zoe?No. One could say for sure now that everything Jay did, he did it for Zoe."However, when I was about to give in and accept that I could never be together with Zoe, then came a sudden dramatic turn of events—yes, it was when Zoe was revealed to be not Nancy Levine's daughter, which also meant we were not blood-related. I had to adm

Jay then continued, "Somehow, destiny granted me yet another boon—the fine gentleman was forced to break up with Zoe because of family reasons… or perhaps it would be more accurate to say Zoe did not want him to be caught in a difficult situation, which would lead to him being disowned like she was. She decided to break up with him and used the excuse that she wasn't over me. I was certainly honored that I could be her love even for one night, to put up an act with her, so that the gentleman believed that we got back together."After the man left, Zoe offered her body to me as reward… though it would be more accurate to say that she just didn't want to owe me."Jay blinked just then as if to recall the bliss of that night. "I could tell that she was not actually willing, that she wanted to do it just to strengthen her resolve to leave the gentleman. Even so, that was the happiest night of my life."However, I had to leave before daybreak the next morning for a film, and Zoe was stil

Jay then continued in his attractive voice, "Zoe disappeared from my life ever since. I never went looking for her, nor did she come back to me—it seemed that we vanished from each other's lives after our most intimate moment."However, we met again on the production stage of Actors on Set, when she made her return to showbiz. I was as overjoyed as I felt stressed when I saw her, because I did not dare to reveal to her how I felt, in fear of her disgust. However, I underestimate her influence on me… I couldn't stop myself from getting close to her, to keep looking at her. Even if I didn't want to impose on her life, my heart was plagued with a crazed obsession to bring her back to my side.""I'd always thought that destiny had been good to me, and I was offered light at the end of the tunnel because I met Yelena, this adorable girl on a certain day, who turned out to be Zoe's daughter. I was afraid to believe that she was my daughter, but I certainly desired to be her daddy. So, when

The other journalists started to offer their support too, and all of them were soon clamoring to say their piece, while Jay held on firmly to Zoe's hand."Me too!""A love this pure and beautiful is praiseworthy, not scandalous!""I'm sure everyone can understand why Mr. Parker would lie for Ms. York's sake before. This love is yours, and the rumors must stop here and now.""Thank you all."I'll admit that my greater purpose here is to declare my love for Zoe in front of everyone in the country. I'm not good with words, and there are times I get so nervous around Zoe I can't say a thing. If not for this incident, I might have kept a lid on my feelings and never spoken up for the rest of my life."And now…"Jay turned toward Zoe then.He then saw that Zoe's eyes were red, her tears unstoppable.'Silly.'He should be the one crying here.Still, he was genuinely rejoicing that she returned to his side.There were times when he would suddenly wake up in the night and wonder for

Zoe was filled with deep pain.Why was Jay so nice?Why was he vehemently good?She hated him so much during those years. How did he suffer through that period?As a result, she cried profusely and vigorously, feeling greatly sorry for him.She wanted nothing but to give all her heart to him now, and she also wanted to tell him that she loved him very much and had always been in love with him. "I do," she said. She sobbed and said loudly, "Jay, I do. I'll marry you!"Suddenly, there was thunderous applause at the scene. At that moment, they seemed to have seen love in its most beautiful state.The comments were full of congratulations and blessings. [Congratulations! You made me cry.][I came to scold them, but now… you guys have to be happy forever!][Jay is indeed perfect!]At last, the screen was full of nothing but the same comment. [Jay is perfect!]…With shaky hands, Jay put the ring on Zoe's ring finger. It was of the same size.At that instant, Zoe burst i

However, she could not stop crying, seemingly having suddenly lost control of her tears. Jay was still holding Zoe's hand tightly with one hand. He then said to all the reporters, "Other than revealing the love affair between Zoe and me to everyone today, I want to declare my stand here to the Levines." Soon the atmosphere became solemn, with the reporters also looking at Jay with slight anxiety. Jay continued directly, saying, "I wasn't willing to talk about this in the past. I was used to suffering in silence for many things, or to me, many things are not that important except Zoe, including my feelings or me. Most of the time, I led a life emotionlessly. But today, I want to make myself clear."Firstly, Zoe isn't at fault for being your daughter. You had no reason to shift all the humiliation that you've suffered on Zoe. What's more, the things you've done to Zoe these years were because of your selfishness and cruelty. "Secondly, I tolerated you these years because of our

"So, can you bind me with emotional blackmail for the rest of my life just because of what you helped me with?" Jay demanded coldly. Sitting beside him, Zoe was stunned. Frankly, she did not know if it was some kind of trauma that was troubling her all that while, but she was always in awe of Nancy.Although she encouraged Jay to pick up the call just now, it was because she did not want Nancy to pester them relentlessly. She knew Nancy too well, and Nancy would never give up until she achieved her goal. If Jay did not answer the call, she would not stop calling him. At last, she might even go to his house. Zoe even mentally prepared herself the moment Jay answered the call. Jay was not Nancy's opponent again, and he would only be vigorously rebuked by Nancy. She even made up her mind to brace herself and helped Jay to stand against Nancy. Unexpectedly, Jay was so powerful. "Emotional blackmail? Do you even know what that is? We're a family. Jay, both you and I share the blo

Except for breathing, there was only the sound of their heartbeats in the quiet space. "Zoe." Jay finally spoke up. When he spoke, he caught Zoe off guard, so she trembled slightly. Consequently, Jay laughed. Suddenly, his eyes lit up brightly.He was at such an age, but he had such clear and bright eyes. Well, he was indeed devastatingly bewitching. "Did I scare you?" he asked gently. "I was thinking. Of course you scared me when you suddenly spoke," Zoe answered grumpily. "I was referring to the thing I said at the press conference today."Zoe's heart skipped a beat. She recalled everything that Jay said at the press conference today… Consequently, many emotions overwhelmed her. Zoe took a deep breath and said slowly, "Jay, I did hate you for many years." "I know." "Why didn't you tell me?" Zoe's eyes swiftly turned red. However, she felt excruciating pain when she recalled her past grievances and how Jay suffered in silence. "I'm afraid you couldn't accep

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
