A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1215
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

Cordy returned to her office after sending John to Levine Manor, but she ended up distracted, even spacing out during the meeting in the afternoon.When it was finally over, she could not focus on her work when she returned to her office.Her subordinates noticed she was being weird when they came to report the day's work, and they asked, "Are you feeling unwell, Ms. Sachs? Do you want to get checked at the hospital?"Cordy had never been perfunctory in the years since she took over the company, after all.She did a double take when her subordinate pointed that out, finally realizing that she was acting strange.Still, she said, "I'm alright—I just need a break. You may go for now.""Yes, Ms. Sachs."Cordy then had her assistant bring her a cup of coffee to freshen up before walking up to the glass wall and gaze upon the city's skyline to adjust her mood.She admitted to herself right then that she was not entirely unaffected by John's upcoming wedding.Was it really only beca

In the photo, it looked as if Cordy was John's bride, and they were really getting married…Cordy pursed her lips as she stared at it. She then tore her eyes away and replied to Zoe's text: [Don't send that photo anywhere else or tweet it. It's inappropriate.][Puh-lease. What's inappropriate about that? The four of us are just gorgeous—we'd be the kings and queens of showbiz!]Zoe's excitement was palpable, but Cordy was stern nonetheless.[Zoe, I'm not the bride.]Zoe could actually feel Cordy's wrath even from behind the screen—she was livid, even.As such, Zoe quickly replied: [I won't tweet it. I just wanted to show you how good us four looked. Just save it for the memories.]Cordy, however, disagreed—she was adamant that the photo was inappropriate.Maybe she just wanted to avoid looking at the photo and let her imagination go astray. Still, it was Zoe's photo, and it was her freedom if she wanted to save it.[Aren't you a little upset, Cordy?] Zoe asked gingerly.C

Cordy said evenly, "That means it's his decision. Shouldn't we respect it?"Zoe was left speechless by Cordy's retort, but Cordy could understand where Zoe was coming from—she could not afford to do nothing given her connection to John, and it was even reasonable for her to be agitated.However, there was no uncertainty that Cordy and John had missed out on each other, and that was that."Whatever. I'll stop here," Zoe said, giving up right then, perhaps understanding that anything else she said was pointless just then. Cordy could sense her disappointment.However, while there were things where she would stake everything to help Zoe, she was powerless in others."Well, now you just have to wait for our wedding. Just be there on time," Zoe said. "Yeah." Cordy smiled. I'll properly make time to be a good bridesmaid.""I'm hanging up now. Bye.""Bye."Cordy's smile faded the instant she hung up, and she looked out into the distance.She thought to herself that she just had t

Cordy headed to Zoe's home before six in the morning on the day of the wedding, though Zoe had just gotten out of bed and was barely awake.Seeing Cordy and Quinn arrive, she mumbled feebly, "Getting married is… taxing.""And you were looking forward to it so much," Quinn teased."No way. Jay insisted—I had no say in it.""Stop bragging," Quinn snapped.Zoe stuck her tongue out at Quinn and smiled.Despite her complaint, Zoe had to admit that she felt great.With that, all three of them started to put on their makeup on the makeshift dressing table, and it certainly took them a while—especially Cordy, who was not done even after Zoe's complicated bridal makeup was complete.Were they trying to make her the belle of the ball?Her ego actually felt a little hurt for the first time ever, since she always thought of herself as a natural beauty who did not need much makeup. After a long while, she asked, "Wait, there's still more?!""Sorry, Ms. Sachs, but I guess I'm a little la

Nonetheless, Zoe was determined. "I don't care. I'm not going to open the door just like that."Bob sighed feebly. "Well, what can we do to convince you, ma'am?" "Tell Jay to sweet-talk me," Zoe said. "And make sure it pleases me."Bob called out loudly right then, "You heard your bride, Jay. She wants you to sweet-talk her."Everyone laughed in amusement. Joy was never lacking wherever Zoe was.However, silence followed the laughter, and everyone seemed to be waiting for Jay to say something. They were amused just a moment before, and now actually expectant—they all knew that Jay was not good with words, despite being a film director. In private, he did not speak much.And now, he was supposed to declare his love for Zoe in front of so many… the bride truly knew how to mess with her groom.After a long, deafening silence, however, Jay still did not say a word.Zoe, who had been a little smug at first, started to panic a little.She called out loudly, "Jay? Why don't you say

"Zoe…" Jay suddenly spoke outside.Zoe's heart skipped a beat.Even though they had been together for a while now, her heart would still race when he said her name so tenderly."I'm very nervous now," he said. "I'm even more tense and excited than when I was giving my acceptance speech for being awarded the best director."Zoe's heart kept racing, with her feeling ever so slightly guilty and wondering if she had really put Jay in an awkward position."I didn't want to drag things out—I'm worried I'd delay our wedding too, and heaven knows how long I've been waiting for this moment."As Jay spoke quietly outside, it was obvious he was working very hard to keep his own voice calm. "I've been planning this wedding for so long and was looking forward to this ever since we had our marriage registered. I wanted to give you an unforgettable wedding, and not just to do it while Johnny was having his. I prepared this with all my heart."Zoe nodded silently—she certainly knew, because she

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
