A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1250
Cordy seemed to freeze right then, and John quickly let go of her hand. He took her hand as if it was only natural, and it never crossed his mind to wonder if Cordy liked it."I'm sorry, I…"He paused, since Cordy took his hand on her own and said, "Let's go."John nodded, clearly grinning from ear-to-ear.Still, Cordy found it a little funny as she got in John's bridal car, since she was not in it when she came.It was a little quiet, with neither of them speaking.Cordy had the nagging feeling that John was a little nervous too, but about what?Her heart soon skipped a beat as she remembered their wedding night… She pursed her lips, her heart racing unwittingly."Where's Dicky?" she asked, trying to hide her nerves. "I had Winston take him home," John replied. "He's still a kid. He shouldn't be staying up late.""Yeah." Cordy nodded before asking, "Are we going to Levine Manor?""Nope. I've prepared a house for us," John said. Cordy pursed her lips—that meant they wou

As Cordy stepped into the mansion and reached the edge, she turned to find countless myriad colored lights turning on in an instant, as if all the stars from the skies were falling down.She was certainly surprised, because it was a sight more astounding than those lights at the island they stayed at. She wondered how much time John spent preparing the surprise… and was it really for her and not Wendy?If she never said yes today, all his preparations would have gone to waste, no?Cordy looked at John then, and followed his gaze to see the huge LED screen in the garden, which suddenly flashed into life with photos of her… since her childhood.Cordy was surprised—how did he get those?! She had basically lost them!John seemed to read the question in her mind and said, "I met your father."Cordy pursed her lips."I know you'd never forgive him, which was why I did not invite him to our wedding," John continued. "However, I managed to get many of your photos from Sachs Mansion, a

"It's alright." John smiled. "Just having her near is fine."Cordy looked on, watching him smile with such tenderness and contentment…She could hardly describe how she felt just then.It turned out that John loved her with all his heart, while she thought he was dating Wendy.The scene then changed to Richard, John, and Wendy discussing how to take a family photo.They talked for a while until Cordy arrived, and they took the family with just Cordy, John, and Richard.She could not help glancing at John, noticing that he was nervously raising his hand and lowering it repeatedly, refraining from putting it on her shoulder.The scene changed again to the afternoon when John was baking a cake.Richard was hurrying him, saying, "Mommy's coming downstairs. Wendy, get clingy with Daddy."Then, as Wendy snuggled up against John as he worked, Cordy remembered that it was exactly what she saw when she arrived at the kitchen at the time.So it was all just an act.As she watched the

Cordy stared at the fireworks that seemed to blanket the skies and John's bewitching face beneath, her emotions ruffled…He really was in love with her and prepared so much for her.Her eyes welled up with tears—she thought she would never feel touched like this ever again. John was looking at her dewy eyes in turn.As they held each other gaze lovingly, all the ugliness, misunderstandings and repressed grievances seemed to fade.In fact, the world seemed to vanish as well, as they only had eyes for each other.John leaned his face toward her just then while she blinked before closing her eyes.As he gently kissed her lips, their hearts seemed to be awash with warmth.Cordy could not help clenching her knuckles as John held her lips, allowing him more.Hence, while it was a gentle brush at first, tongue was soon involved, and they started panting.He then scooped her up in his arms, while she wrapped her arms around his neck by instinct.They were very close, their breathin

John returned to their room after finishing his bath and saw that Cordy was not done with hers, just as he had expected.He did not hurry her and sat against the headboard instead, scrolling aimlessly through his phone as he waited for Cordy.He was clearly distracted, tensing up whenever he sensed movement from the bathroom.However, it was until after over ten minutes that Cordy finally opened the bathroom door, dressed in a pink bathrobe while having her wet hair wrapped in a towel, clearly having washed it.The bathrobe was a couple's set with the other being blue. John could not wear it since it was already in the bathroom after Cordy got in, so he wore a white one that was kept next door.He stared at Cordy, whose cheeks were still flushed after her bath, and her skin crystal fair under the lights.John could not help licking his dry lips—Cordy looked really appetizing at that very moment.Still, he did not give in to excitement and jump on her right away—instead, he walke

Cordy actually felt guilty.She and John were sleeping in the same bed on their wedding night but were doing nothing at all.She had no intention of shirking her spousal obligation since she decided to marry John.To her, marriage was no child's play, and it should be treated solemnly.Even so, what happened tonight was definitely unexpected, and Cordy felt even more guilty when she saw the box of condoms in the bedside drawer.John had really prepared for everything.In fact, that was not all—he even prepared underwear and sanitary pads for her, so there was nothing to worry about despite the surprise.John probably just did not expect that she would need the pads tonight.In fact, Cordy had trouble sleeping the whole night, tossing and turning in bed, probably because she was not used to sleeping in a new place.As for the man beside her, he did not sleep at all.They were still asleep late into the morning because of that until John's phone rang.He picked it up. "Aunt Na

Zoe promptly hung up, while Cordy turned toward John and said, "Zoe and Jay have both returned to Levine Manor. Let's join them—Dicky's there too."John nodded, since they would not not get any sleep in peace.They got out of bed and started washing up.John then entered the bathroom first, telling Cordy, "Your clothes are in the closet room."Cordy headed over, and found the closet room so huge it could match their bedroom.She opened one of the closets to find rows of women's clothing arranged neatly, outnumbering John's clothes by a ton.Naturally, every piece of clothing was her size—John certainly made considerable effort preparing this house.As such, she wondered again how traumatizing it would be if she had rejected his proposal.Still, she did not mull for too long—the dust had settled, and everything was going to be better now.She picked a set of rather formal clothes and put on light makeup while John put on a suit.They got in the car together, with Cordy admirin

Cordy froze outside the front door, left embarrassed by Zoe even before she stepped inside.Talk about a rock and a hard place…Still, Zoe turned and saw her right then but appeared completely unabashed as she called out to Cordy loudly, "Oh, Cordy! You finally brought my cousin—I mean, my nephew home!"John pursed his lips—Zoe was really getting full of herself after she took a promotion in seniority.And to make things worse, he could not argue—which really felt like a defeat."Your dear aunt is getting real impatient. I think she'll drag you both out of bed if you still drag your feet," Zoe teased."Watch your manners," Nancy snapped. "What manners? I'm their aunt too—what I say goes," Zoe argued.Nancy was stumped, while Jay quickly smoothed things over. "Why don't we get things underway? Everyone's hungry, especially the kids."He was certainly concerned that Nancy would start fighting Zoe, especially the latter being so fearless after she got over her past history with

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
