A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1234
As she pulled away, Zoe asked, "Can you feel it now?"She could express her love with actions, after all.Jay pursed his lips but did not answer, although his hand tightened over hers without knowing it."They're starting," Zoe quickly told him.Jay took a deep breath, deciding that he really should get used to Zoe—her emotions lasted no more than a couple seconds before changing.He turned toward the stage then, though he had to admit that the second wedding was actually the climax.He watched as John walked on stage under the emcee's invitation and took center stage.The emcee then went through a long opening monologue before announcing toward the castle arch, "Now, let's have our bride make her flashy appearance!"The curtains slowly parted, and everyone saw a woman in a white gown standing there.Indeed, there was no mistaking it—a gown, not a bridal dress.After all, it was not Wendy but one of her bridesmaids.She appeared awkward, unsure of what to do just then. Sh

Wendy paused for a few seconds just then, and the guests at the scene all turned in shock toward John and Cordy.Cordy was pursing her lips, surprised that Wendy would suddenly mention her.Nonetheless, Wendy continued, "I know you've been good to me and earnestly wanted to be with me, but I must say that Cordy is a better fit for you. I can also tell that you have feelings for her although you keep hiding it deliberately. Are you perhaps afraid that she would reject you?""Actually, as a fellow woman, I can feel that Cordy loves you too. I don't know what happened between you that you deliberately kept your distance, but I earnestly feel that you both deserve each other. I asked Dicky too, and he admitted that he liked me but he still rather his parents get back together."Cordy turned toward Richard, who had been constantly tagging along at John's side.His face was still a child's, but he was over five feet tall and could play the role of John's best man.Though dressed smartl

#Cordy stared at John, watching as tears seemed to well up in his eyes. She was not sure if he was devastated that Wendy suddenly left him at the altar or over something else.Suddenly, she realized that she could not think straight, and her emotions were a mess.For the first time, she had no idea what she wanted to do."Wendy's right, and actually…" John said, gulping. "This wedding was prepared for you."Cordy's heart skipped a beat, surprise showing in her eyes.She thought Wendy running away from her wedding was expected, since Wendy was too self-indulgent to let go of the many vices the world had to offer.She just did not expect John to prepare the wedding for her.She was skeptical too, because John had no idea what Wendy was really like and therefore would never anticipate whether Wendy would come to the wedding hall.As such, Cordy felt a little repulsed.If John openly admitted to being tricked and asked her to help him save face, she might have agreed to it—this

The endless silence only made everyone anticipate Cordy's response more.After all, they could all tell that he was hopelessly in love with Cordy.Still, there was no telling what she was thinking just then, and she simply stared at John while he stared back.They were both silent while Richard stood nearby, staring blankly at them.He knows that this was his daddy's last chance—that he would have no more chances if his mommy still rejected him…But he really wanted them to get back together, and honestly felt that his daddy loved his mommy dearly.He had no idea how devastated his daddy would be to lose his mommy.He really did so much for her, going to the extreme lengths of playing pretend lovers with Wendy so that mommy would marry him…"I'm sorry," Cordy suddenly said.It was a rejection the instant she spoke.John smiled in relief, but his eyes were tearful.His heart really ached, but he truly gave in this time.He knew he had really hurt Cordy too much, that she did

John really had no idea if he could take another blow, only for his shred of hope to be ultimately crushed.He restrained himself, gulping endlessly while his large hand clenched into a fist unwittingly in clear restraint.However, he still turned to face Cordy.Yes.Even if it was just a tiny shred of hope, his chest was still filled with it.He looked at Cordy as her lips curled upward—a suffocating sight of beauty.He thought he saw tears in Cordy's eyes too and wondered if he had just imagined it.After all, his own tears were blurring his own vision even though he was trying his best to blink them back."I thought it was over between us," Cordy said softly, looking at John and his tense reaction. "We've gone through so much… doubt, death, and having someone else, that I really thought was one bridge too far."John looked at Cordy nervously, yearning so much to tell her that it was not the case.He could admit that he really did forget about her in his amnesia, but when h

Cordy headed to the anteroom as a bridesmaid and was now suddenly a bride.This wedding would certainly go down as one of the more astounding ones in history!She put on the bridal dress she tried on before, and it really seemed to be tailored according to her body's measurements.Still, she found herself in a daze, as if it was all unreal.Just yesterday, she felt that there was such an insurmountable distance between them, only for them to get married today."Wow, that bridal gown is just so gorgeous! You look so beautiful in it!" The staff were fawning over Cordy.Even Quinn, who was in the anteroom with Cordy, was dazzled by the dress.She certainly looked exceedingly beautiful, and Quinn was unsure to praise her or the dress—both seemed to fuse together."I really doubt that the bridal dress was not tailored according to your measurement." She could not help sighing.As Quinn glanced at her through the dressing mirror, she smiled. "To think I'd be a bridesmaid twice in on

When Cordy said yes to his proposal, John noticed her glancing behind himself at Richard.But whatever the case maybe, he was rejoicing that she would say yes and would never ask for more.In fact, he was a little flustered, unsure as to what he should do to not annoy Cordy.On the other hand, Cordy noticed the tiny beads of sweat over John's forehead.However, the day's climate was just right, and there was even a breeze—but he was sweating anyway.Was it perhaps from nerves?She also noticed that John was reaching for her hand.She was ready to take it, but John ended up lowering his hands, his entire figure looking very stiff.Was that nerves too?Was he more nervous than she was?Cordy pursed her lips and suddenly reached out to take John's hand.John's whole body flinched visibly.Below the stage, Zoe giggled—the dauntless John Levine was bristling from Cordy's touch!Truly, everything has a weakness, and John was destined to be at Cordy's mercy.That thought alone l

While everyone was charmed by Yelena, John grinned and patted her little head with a tender look on his face. "Well, we can't give you another brother, but maybe a younger sister.""Don't lie to me like my parents," Yelena said very seriously."Okay!""Yippee! I'm going to have a younger sister!" Yelena exclaimed excitedly. "Can I see her tomorrow?"John was speechless—not even a stork could deliver a baby that quickly."Come down, Yelena!" Zoe yelled from below stage just then. "You're not getting married! Why are you hogging all the spotlight?!""My mommy is a baddie." Yelena pouted—she was not allowed to kiss her daddy, and she could not speak too?!Still, complaints notwithstanding, Yelena was obedient as she always had been and strode down the stage on her little feet.The host quickly smooths things over while announcing loudly, "And now, for the exchanging of rings."John and Cordy traded glances, and John took out Cordy's ring first before carefully sliding it on her r

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
