A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1138
John nodded. "I know. Zoe told me."Cordy said nothing else at that, and everyone else stayed silent.She left Levine Manor after lunch but told Richard to stay since she could tell that he really wanted to stay with John.But even as she stepped outside, a familiar voice called out to her from behind. "Cordy."Cordy's heart skipped a beat, and she pursed her lips and turned to find John standing there."Your phone," he said, holding it out to her.It turned out that she had left it on the couch."Thank you," she said as she took it, surprised that she would have left it in Levine Manor—she would never usually forget things.Even so, she had to admit that her emotions were affected when she saw John's face restored to how it was, no matter how hard she tried to ignore it."When's the wedding?" John asked."We haven't decided," Cordy said. "It'll be in a few months."John smiled faintly in turn. "Congratulations.""Thank you.""Do you need a ride?" John asked. "It's easy to

Richard watched as Cordy left, looking a little disappointed."I'm sorry, Daddy," he said guiltily. "I…""It's alright," John replied and patted Richard's head.John did not realize it, but Richard really grew up as if in an instant."I thought it's still possible for you and Mommy. I didn't think she'd be so angry," Richard explained."I know." John nodded.It's not all Richard's fault either, since John could have left if he insisted.In the end, it was John who wanted to see her—even for seconds.He had his own expectations, after all."It's late. You're still growing, so go to bed soon. I'll be going now.""Yeah." Richard nodded."Do you want to come over tomorrow?""I'm going to school tomorrow, and I'm used to staying here. But I'll visit if I'm free on weekends.""Anyway, just call me if you miss me.""Okay."John left. Richard thought about it, but he ultimately got up and headed to Cordy's room.He knocked politely, and Cordy opened the door. "Mommy," Richard

The wedding would be in two months.Zoe had a feeling she could not quite describe as she browsed the photos Cordy sent, especially since John was discussing rebuilding Levine Ventures with Jay in the house.She mused if she should show John the photos and actually make him give up.Judging from the current state of things, John really showed no intention of getting Cordy back. In fact, he had put on his workaholic form again and completely focused on work.She walked over and asked, "Want another coffee?"John nodded and gently pushed his cup to the side, letting her refill it without glancing her way.Zoe was speechless—she was supposed to be his elder, his aunt, and he did not even thank her.However, she seemed used to it and refilled both John and Jay's cups.Still, she had to admit that men were so good looking when they were working seriously. They were both seated at the table in front of the glass wall, and it was honestly a feast for the eyes as the sun illuminated

Jay stopped her right then, "Zoe."Zoe sighed heavily but snapped in disappointment at John regardless, "Now you'll be forever alone!"And with that, she stormed off.John finally turned away from the laptop screen, whipping out a cigarette, thinking about it and asked, "Can I?""Do it on the balcony," Jay said. "Yelena doesn't like the smell of tobacco whenever she's home."John nodded and headed there, and Jay went with him.The sun was just right today, but Jay had the feeling that even a warmer sun would not melt the coldness in John's heart."Why don't you do something?" he asked eventually. "There won't be a chance only if you don't fight for it, but there will be if you do.""It won't work," John said, breathing out a puff of smoke. "No one can change Cordy's mind once she's made her decision."John nodded, since he knew that much about Cordy.-News about Cordy's wedding started circulating in two months, and their wedding photos were posted online soon after.There

Randy actually had a hunch, but there was no way he could hide it from John.He certainly knew how things were between his boss and his lady… or Ms. Sachs now, given current circumstances.However, John was just gone for too long, and it was perfectly reasonable that Cordy had found someone new.He looked on, watching as John opened the envelope anyway.The wedding invitation was a fair whiteness, with a wedding photo of Cordy and Patrick attached.They looked sweet and happy—a good match for one another.John stared at the invitation for a long time, which only stated Patrick's name without Cordy's.The wedding would take place at noon on the eighteenth of May."Sir?" Randy called out to him again, concerned that he would be staring at the invitation for an entire night—he would rather the man just go home and rest."Is that the weekend?" John asked, lowering the invitation and looking normal again."Yeah. It's a Saturday.""Okay. Remember not to arrange any work for that d

Zoe gave him the address, so John drove over to pick her up.There were indeed not many women who could make John put away his work.When he reached the destination, he called Zoe. "Come out. I'm waiting for you at the entrance." Zoe answered in a drunk manner, "Come in. I can't walk." "Don't push your luck!" "Room 808." She abruptly hung up the call.John took a deep breath. He would have pressed the gas pedal and left immediately if it were not for Jay's sake. He then got out of the car and walked into the private room. The door was pushed open, and he thought that it would be smoky and filled with loud music. Based on Zoe's former character, all people in there would be drunk. However, it was strangely quiet, with only three people staying together to drink wine. There was no music in the private room, and it was brightly lit. So, he saw Cordy drinking and chatting with Zoe and Quinn the minute he entered the room. His appearance was quite abrupt, and while he w

He loved her to the core. Could he watch her throw herself into another man's arms?John did not want to talk much with Zoe. "Are you going or not?" "Are you leaving?" Zoe appeared disappointed. "I have something else to do." "Have some wine." Zoe grabbed his clothes and refused to let go. "Let's have a drink since you're here!" John glared at Zoe. "It's been a long time since we last had a drink. You finally came back alive. Just do me the favor." Zoe picked up a glass of wine and shoved it into John's hands. John's face turned gloomy. "Just sit for a while if you're free," Cordy chimed in. "After all, we'll go back in a while because we need to wake up early tomorrow." John's heart wavered. He pursed his lips and answered, "Hmm." "Tsk!" Zoe was full of scorn. "It's useless no matter how much I say. Just one word from Cordy is enough to persuade you!" "Isn't that what you wish for?" Quinn inevitably criticized her. Zoe thought for a while. "That seems to be the

John was stunned, struck dumb on the spot and not accepting the glass of water for a long time.Cordy originally thought that it was a very normal action. It was her bachelorette party that night, and since John was there to drink with them, she should treat him politely. However, John's current action made her feel a bit awkward. She was about to put it down and go to ask Zoe and Quinn to leave when John accepted it. "Thank you." "You're welcome." John extended his hand to accept the glass of water, and surprisingly, he touched Cordy's hand by accident. Cordy behaved naturally and let go of the glass.On the other hand, John retrieved his hand as if he was frightened. The two of them let go of the glass at the same time, and all the water in the glass splashed on John's pants. Clang! The glass fell to the floor and was smashed into pieces, and they were struck dumb for half a second. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Cordy naturally took out a napkin to wipe his pants

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
