"I pronounce you husband and wife!" the emcee announced excitedly. "You may now kiss the bride."The hall erupted in thunderous applause at his words, and confetti popped above stage.The atmosphere at the wedding reached a climax even as Patrick stood face-to-face with Cordy, staring at her.She was looking fixedly into his eyes in turn, and the lights above illuminated their bright gazes with a celestial glint."Cordy," Patrick gently called out to her."Yeah.""Will you marry me?" he asked."Yeah." Cordy nodded—she had strong principles, and no one could force her to do anything."Will you regret it?""No," Cordy replied, shaking her head.Once she married him, her world would revolve around him and their family—no one would change that.Nonetheless, Patrick said bitterly, "But I'm worried I'll regret this."As Cordy's eyes widened, he continued, "I'm afraid I can't give you a happy family."Why?" Cordy asked, a little nervous.Patrick could do anything well—why would

Patrick kept his eyes on Cordy even as he continued, "I don't want to force this. I'm tired of it. I admit that I yearned to marry you, the only woman I've ever loved and the one who makes me want to give up on my former life… To start anew. I'd admit I was looking forward to this wedding so much I wanted to make it perfect, so that I won't have regrets. Even so… At this very moment, I regret it.""Patrick…""I'm sorry, Cordy." Patrick apologized."No, you don't have to apologize. It's unnecessary…" Cordy murmured, knowing very well that Patrick was suddenly regretful because she did not want her to be sad.He was convinced that she still loved John, and nothing she said now would work.She did not want to lie to Patrick, not when he was so pure and innocent."I'm sorry for embarrassing you in front of so many guests. It's willful of me," Patrick said, and reached out to take her veil off.The guests were left stunned, since they did not see a kiss.It was certainly weird that

Cordy left with Quinn, leaving the staff to handle the guests.She certainly was not in the mood to deal with anything else, but she had to admit that she was depressed.Even after she got in her car, she realized afterward that it was the bridal car for her and Patrick, which left her even more depressed.Quinn noticed that too and was left feeling a little helpless."Cordy…"Cordy took a deep breath. "It's alright."Quinn shook her head—how could she be?Even if the feelings were not that strong, anyone would be upset being left at the altar.Still, she had no idea how to console Cordy.Should she say that she felt a little lucky?!It was far better than to proceed with the wedding, have bottled-up feelings after, and force herself to be happy.But Quinn was afraid to say it—only Zoe would ever dare say something like that.Cordy naturally did not know what was on Quinn's mind, and she picked up her phone, hesitating for a moment before making the call."Hey Cordy," Sean

"Don't worry. Cordy knows what she's doing and won't get up to anything serious," Quinn said bluntly. "If she wants to be alone, she wants to be alone.""Yeah," Sean replied."Are you leaving? Don't let me keep you," Quinn said, smiling faintly as Sean gazed at her.With that, she said nothing else and headed to the hallway outside the operating room.Both Jay and Zoe were waiting outside, worry clear on their faces."Oh, you're here, Quinn!" Zoe was thrilled to see her."Yeah.""Wait, if you're here… what about Cordy's wedding?!" Zoe exclaimed.Even if she disliked how Cordy treated John, she earnestly wanted the best for Cordy regardless."Didn't Sean tell you?" Quinn exclaimed in surprise, thinking to herself then that the geezer was really tight-lipped. "Patrick left Cordy at the altar.""What?!" Zoe could not help exclaiming, and for a moment, the only sound in the entire hospital was her voice.The nurses at the nurse's station turned toward her, and Quinn promptly shu

Both Jay and Quinn were left staring at Zoe, speechless.She really could not hide any secret!And John just had surgery. If his blood pressure spiked or something…Still, John's face fell for a moment, though he soon calmed himself at the next instant, perhaps convinced that he was hallucinating and was therefore afraid to believe it.Everyone escorted him to his VVIP ward, where the medical staff settled John in and left after leaving some instructions.The ward was silent with just a few of them.Richard spoke up then.He had been sitting silent on the walkway outside the surgery room, overwrought and never chiming in even after hearing that his mommy was left at the altar.Now that he saw that John was fine, he could not help asking, "Aunt Zoe? You just said that Mr. Stuart left my mommy at the altar. Is that true? They're not married?"Zoe was just drafting a text to Cordy, unable to help caring about her even though they just had a little disagreement.It would hurt bei

Richard thought about it and nodded. "Okay, I'll visit tomorrow.""Yeah."As Richard tamely left with Jay and the others, Zoe could not help teasing John as they did, "Cordy's is my bestie. If you need my help in any way, just ask. Should always keep the nice things for the family, right?"John stayed silent and actually appeared haughty even though there was a surging storm in his heart. He could not help heaving a deep sigh after they were gone, and he was shuddering ever so slightly.Cordy and Patrick did not get married. That meant…Still, he just wanted to recover quickly and get discharged soon.He refused to miss out again!-In North City airport, Sean had been calling Patrick repeatedly, but Patrick never answered and eventually turned off his phone.Sean searched for Patrick everywhere—the hotel he was lodging, the Stuarts' businesses in North City, and the bridal suite prepared for him and Cordy.Eventually, he found that the man had arrived at the airport and

"W-What are you…" Patrick was too agitated to speak when he saw Sean.How long had Sean been sitting beside him? How long was Sean watching him make a fool of himself?!Was Sean watching all the while he cried?!How could someone be so horrible?!In fact, Patrick was so furious he could have a stroke.However, just as he was about to yell at Sean, Sean clasped a hand over his mouth, denying him the chance to speak.Patrick's eyes widened and reddened, clearly infuriated."Shush," Sean told him calmly nonetheless. "Don't make too much noise—you're on a plane."Somehow, Patrick thought that Sean was messing with him on purpose.He was so furious he could murder, and he promptly bit on Sean's palm at that instant as hard as he could.He put so much weight into it he was shaking. Patrick wanted nothing less than to kill Sean or at least bite a chunk of his hand off.Sean frowned, clearly in pain but not making a sound.He merely bore with Patrick's venting, and even Patrick

An air stewardess arrived. "Good evening, sir. How may I assist you?""I accidentally got bitten," Sean replied. "Could you help me disinfect it and bandage it?""Of course. One moment, please."Once she left, Patrick's face almost turned green. "Were you messing with me, Sean?!"His voice was shaking from restraint, and every word was growled through clenched teeth.Sean simply flashed an outrageous smile at him—Patrick never saw him smile like that and started to shake with rage and murderous impulse. However, he had to bear with it since he was on a plane and turned his head aside, not wanting to look at Sean twice.Soon, the air stewardess had cleaned and bandaged Sean's palm, and neither man spoke along the rest of the journey. Nonetheless, Sean kept following Patrick after they disembarked, leaving Patrick almost hysterical. He certainly did not want to see Sean for another second after what happened on the plane. "Why are you following me?" "Cordy told me to keep you

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
