Zoe turned toward her gift envelope, expecting not even ten percent of Jay's, and opened it right in front of Nancy.However, Zoe found nothing inside her envelope and could blow up right then.What the hell…Nancy really knew how to upset her!Still, Nancy could tell what Zoe was thinking from the latter's reaction. "Keep looking.""For what?!" Zoe snapped, speechless. "Lint?!"She then felt something small inside—could Nancy insult her any further?!It had been years, but she was still so petty!"Just take out what's inside already!" Nancy snapped sternly then.She was not worried that Zoe would misunderstand, but she was really afraid that Zoe would be so pig-headed she would throw the envelope away. Zoe was certainly reluctant, but she had been obedient to Nancy for years and did as she was told.And when she did, she was stunned to find that it was not a lint but an emerald ring instead.It also looked so familiar she had the feeling that she had seen it before…"You

"Why not?" Nancy calmly shot back. "Legitimate children take priority!"Zoe was stunned for a moment, before realizing what Nancy meant.Turning toward Jay, she told him, "Your sister is calling you a b*st*rd."Jay was speechless—Zoe really took it all in stride, did she not?Nancy in turn ignored Zoe and helped Cordy with the bangle, satisfied with how it looked on her wrist. "Johnny's grandmother would definitely be pleased to know that he married such a great wife."Cordy was a little embarrassed from the flattery, while Nancy quickly said, "Alright, let's eat.""Thank you, Aunt Nancy," Cordy said earnestly—being accepted by family was most precious and emotional for her, someone who was denied familial warmth since she was a child.After the tea ceremony, everyone headed to Levine Manor's spacious dining hall for lunch. Zoe was famished, since she hurried to Levine Manor without breakfast, worried that Nancy would scold her for being late. In fact, she would probably get

"But she's Grandma," Yelena said seriously."I look old, don't I?" Nancy asked a little grumpily—it would be upsetting whether she was addressed as grandma or otherwise."No." Yelena shook her head and explained seriously, "You are Mommy's mommy, so that means you're Grandma."Nancy was speechless for a moment, and she snapped, "Eat."She was certainly not bothered to waste her breath with a four-year-old brat, and she carried Yelena to another chair, bringing over a child's fork and spoon to feed her."I don't like cucumbers, Grandma," Yelena huffed. "I want meat.""Your hair will turn gray if you don't eat your greens.""Would that look bad?" Yelena asked."Yes.""But your hair is gray, Grandma," Yelena said, pointing at Nancy's hair.While Nancy was left speechless, Yelena demanded, "I want meat, Grandma."Nancy had no choice but to cut a slice of cod and put it on her plate.After she ate, Yelena said, "I want soup, Grandma. I'm thirsty."Nancy brought her a small bowl

After lunch, John led Cordy upstairs to his room for a break.As they went, Zoe was giggling as she watched them, leaving Cordy speechless. Honestly, why did she have to keep thinking about that stuff?Seemingly reading her mind, John suddenly said, "She's not wrong.""Huh?" Cordy was confused.John leaned in and whispered something into her ear, and she was left flushing right then.He grinned. "Go to bed already, Mrs. Levine.""Should we sleep… in separate beds?" Cordy asked, concerned for his spiritual well-being just then."No." He refused summarily. "I'd rather spontaneously combust than let you spontaneously vanish."Cordy's heart skipped a beat—how scared was he that she would leave him?-Meanwhile, Zoe remained in the parlor, watching a reality show on TV.Jay had left to coax Yelena to take a nap, or he would not be able to return to Zoe.She sat on the couch, feeling that everything there changed though the people living there were different.Suddenly, she had

Zoe stared at Cora in slight surprise, not quite convinced that she could let go of past grievances so easily.Cora read Zoe's mind too and explained, "Since I've been brought back here, my mother has become the most important person to me. She gave me everything I did not even dare dream of before, be it riches, fame, or kinship. To me, her concerns are mine, and I won't care for what she doesn't care about."In other words, Cora changed her opinion of Zoe because Nancy did.It was as much of a surprise as it was unexpected.However, Zoe told her bluntly, "Actually, I think you should be more independent. You shouldn't be living for anyone else."Cora stared at her, unable to react to Zoe's advice, not to mention that her mother had told her the same thing just the other night."I understand that you're still afraid even after being given back what was rightfully yours," Zoe explained. "That's why you're tiptoeing and never gained confidence, because you fear that your newfound

After dinner at Levine Manor, Cordy and John left with Richard, while Zoe and Jay left with Yelena.Nancy walked with them to the door, watching as they got into their car. "Remember to come back often, Johnny." "Yeah," John replied. "But he's going to the capital soon," Zoe said, tactless as ever. "He has to visit Cordy's family, so he's going to be gone for a while. Don't ask too much now."Zoe was among one of few who found out about Cordy's connection to the Cranstons later on, and she thought Cordy must have gotten tired of having to keep hiding that fact from her.In reality, Cordy only told her because there was no threat against them—she did not want her loved ones to worry for her, let alone get them caught in danger.However, before Nancy could say a thing, Cordy turned toward Zoe. "But I never said I'm going to the capital, did I?"Did anyone say anything about that?Zoe appeared perplexed in turn—did she really not know? "But I just heard Jay and John talking abou

Sean was waiting at the airport, glowering as if they owed him money—though he probably would not be that upset even if they did.Still, Cordy noticed in surprise that Patrick was there too! Should he not be in Rocktown? What was he doing here?!"Sean…" Cordy barely began when Sean turned and strode off.He looked really upset.Cordy slid a glance at John, who gave her an assuring look as if it was no issue.Cordy rolled her eyes—for him, maybe, since Sean was not his cousin.She quickly hurried after Sean, though they left the airport in two different cars.Though calm earlier, Cordy was starting to get a little worried because of Sean's silent treatment when John assured her, "Don't worry—I have leverage against him.""What?" Cordy exclaimed in surprise—leverage again Sean? What could it be?John merely grinned enigmatically while their cars soon took them to Cranston Hall.There, Cordy gingerly approached Sean. "How's Grandfather?""You remember him now?" Sean scoffed,

Sean blinked. While a wedding at the capital goes without saying, John also suggested announcing Cordy's identity, which Sean himself had wanted to do for some time if not for Cordy's refusal.Cordy was in turn frowning at John—she never said anything about announcing that.John in turn quickly sensed her displeasure and whispered into her ear, "I have to do this to cajole Sean."In reality, he had planned to announce Cordy's identity for a long while.Naturally, it was not for vanity, but Cordy should shine further because she had what it took.Cordy pursed her lips, since she could understand that Sean would be furious that she decided to get married on her own…Well, whatever. There was no denying that the Cranstons' blood flowed in her veins, and there was nothing bad about letting the public know that part of her anyway.Still, Sean said, "I have another request."John stared at him warily, as if to tell him to toe the line or they would all be in for it if Cordy got u

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
