A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1209
John asked Cordy just then, "Is there some misunderstanding between you and Wendy? Should we meet up to clear the air?""No, there's no misunderstanding," Cordy said resolutely. "It's your own issue since you believe you know what Wendy is like. I was just giving you a head's up out of kindness.""Okay," John replied and said nothing else.Cordy hung up right then, fuming.He made it sound as if she was trying to drive a wedge in his relationship and took no notice of her kindness.She took a deep breath and told herself that it was their business, and she should not have meddled at all.There was no question that she was embarrassing herself too.That was when Cordy's phone rang.She glanced at the caller, calmed herself down, and answered. "Zoe.""Bad day, huh?" Zoe asked."Nope." Cordy denied it right away."I can tell from your tone right now, y'know," Zoe said confidently.Cordy pursed her lips—in the end, there was just no deceiving besties, was there?"What is it?"

"Yeah." Cordy agreed. "Serves him right.""And that means you can just leave him be." Zoe gave her verdict then.Cordy was naturally taken aback. "What?!""I said, just leave him be," Zoe said very calmly. "It's his own business if he's being deceived by a woman, and he refused to listen when you told him. What more can you do?"However, that did not sit right with Cordy at all!It was fine if Cordy herself did not keep trying to reason with John, since he refused to listen when she did. Moreover, it was inappropriate considering the complicated relationship between them.But Zoe was different—she was supposed to be John's relative, and she was just going to do nothing while John was being deceived by a woman?"Shouldn't you at least tell him?" Cordy could not help asking."Why should I? It's everything I ever dreamed of," Zoe said very calmly before going on a rant with rising indignation. "It's his own fault for having a change of heart so quickly, falling for another woman a

Richard called out to her just then. "Mommy?"Cordy came to her senses and said evenly, "It's your daddy's decision. You should respect it.""Okay," Richard replied before remembering something. "What present do you think I should get for their wedding?""Nothing. Just give them your blessing," Cordy said flatly."But I really want to give them a present," Richard said seriously.Cordy pursed her lips but remained silent.She had no idea what she should suggest, and given how she felt about the wedding… Whatever. That was their business.-Cordy returned to her room after dinner, and she had just gotten into bed to sleep when Zoe called."Cordy, did you know that John is going to marry Wendy?!""I know," Cordy replied nonchalantly."It's on the eighteenth of next month. Just twenty-five days from now," Zoe said."Yeah.""And… you're not interested?""Should I be?" Cordy asked in return, amused.If John believed his decision to be right, then it must be—she would not gi

"Then that makes you and Quinn!" Zoe exclaimed excitedly. "Are you free tomorrow? I'm trying out my bridal gown, and we can try your bridesmaid dress as well.""Okay.""See you tomorrow, then.""Okay."Cordy heaved a long sigh after she hung up.Things were moving a little quicker than she expected!-The next day, Cordy headed to the bridal boutique Zoe told her about, though she was slightly late since she had to make arrangements at work before hurrying over.It was only there when she realized that aside from Jay and Zoe, John and Wendy were there too.Zoe had just put on her bridal gown, and it shone with crystalline radiance beneath the chandeliers overhead, sparkling like a dream.Zoe was bewitched by herself, admiring her reflection in the mirror even while praising herself. "My goodness, is that really me?! I'm so beautiful! When did your tastes improve so much, Jay? Did you really order this tailor-made?"Everyone laughed in amusement, just as Zoe spotted Cordy fro

Cordy went to the changing room. The ladies' changing area was basically shared, with just zipper curtains separating them.That was why Cordy could hear Wendy from behind the curtains."No, I'm trying out my bridal dress right now. I don't have time to go drinking," Wendy was saying."You won't have the chance soon if you don't hang out with us now. You're getting married soon!" Her friend goaded her."That's true, but maybe not now. John's waiting for me." Wendy seemed to be in a dilemma."And he'll always be waiting for you—what's a couple hours in comparison?" Her friend kept goading her anyway. "Think about it. You've been constantly hanging out with us, but he never said a word! And you won't feel anything if you play around now, but you probably won't dare to even leave the house once you're actually married. Just get over here already—we just chanced upon some college boys, and they're going back to campus tomorrow.""Honestly, you girls…" Wendy sighed feebly, but the e

Even as the thought crossed Cordy's mind, Wendy stepped out of the changing room.However, she was still in her casual dress from before and not wearing her bridal gown.Cordy could immediately tell what Wendy was up to with a single look, but she held her tongue while John asked, "What's wrong? Doesn't the dress fit?""No," Wendy replied a little anxiously. "Something urgent came up, so I have to go right now. I took off the bridal gown halfway." "What happened?""My friend got into a traffic accident. I need to get to the hospital right now."Cordy was blue with shock—that was such an outrageous lie!"How is she doing?" John quickly asked in concern."I don't know, she didn't say. I need to find out at the hospital.""I'll take you there.""No, it's alright." Wendy refused right away. "You can decide on the bridal gown—I don't know when I can make it back. I'll love anything you decide on anyway." Before John could say more, Wendy quickly left. "I'm going now, Johnny. I'

After Cordy dragged Zoe into the changing room, she had to change into Wendy's bridal gown as Zoe wrestled her with brute strength.Then, before she had time to check her reflection, Zoe dragged her outside, showing everyone that noble, elegant pure-white dress to everyone.John and Jay were chatting, and they were both transfixed from a single glance.Naturally, the staff's reaction was even more exaggerated. "Oh my goodness, you look so beautiful! That has to be the most beautiful bridal gown I've ever seen in my life. It sparkles just like the stars up above—it's just so dazzling!""No, no, no—it's not just the gown. The bride is so beautiful they are a perfect match. It's not surprising since it's tailored… It's just different from your usual bridal gowns. It's just simply different. The elegance is a sight to behold!"Their unrestrainedness left Cordy embarrassed, but she had to admit that John's tastes were incredible.She was not feeling particularly confident when she loo

Cordy felt a little bad seeing the sad puppy look on Zoe's face, especially since she knew Zoe meant no harm. "I'm not upset.""Okay. I'll be more careful next time," Zoe assured her again."Yeah."With that, she got changed and stepped out of the changing room.John had already done the same, while Jay asked her, "Are you leaving?""Yeah. There's still work waiting at the office.""Sorry for dragging you out here.""It's alright." Cordy smiled faintly. "Zoe is still trying on another dress, so wait a moment.""Okay," Jay nodded.Cordy started outside the boutique without another word when she realized John was following her.She frowned, but did not ask.Then, as she entered the elevator, she watched as John entered too, saying, "I have to go since something came up too. I'd be bothering them trying out their dresses anyway.""Yeah," Cordy could understand, since his bride had left already as well.However, she remembered Wendy again and sighed heavily.Giving in, she as

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
