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

Richard was not actually watching the adults but was using his phone.He had no concerns these days since his daddy and mommy made up. He was therefore caught by surprise when his daddy suddenly said his name, and he looked at them in confusion.Sean was smart enough to catch what John meant right then—when he was older, Richard could take over the Cranston family estate.The man certainly had brains."What's wrong, Daddy?" Richard asked in confusion just then."Nothing. Get back to using your phone." John smiled.That smile creeped out Richard somehow, as if John was going to sell him off to some slavers.But considering that he was not adopted, and his biological parents had no reason to actually sell him, he shrugged and continued poring over his phone."How about that?" John asked for confirmation.Sean nodded begrudgingly—it was certainly not difficult.The reality was that Sean himself had no intention of abandoning the Cranston family estate easily since it was his gra

Cordy asked, "Should I know?""Well, no," John said, not giving a direct answer. "But I was sure you could guess it."Cordy frowned—guess? Guess what?!Was it even possible that Patrick and Sean shared some unspeakable secret… Hold on!Cordy was taken aback, staring at John as a certain idea started to take root.John chuckled—he knew his wife was smart enough to figure it out.-Meanwhile, they arrived at the exceedingly luxurious private hospital where Jesse Cranston was admitted—it was only natural that he stayed at such a place.As they alighted, Cordy was staring between Sean and Patrick, not quite understanding it just then."What's wrong?" Sean asked, frowning and left a little perplexed by Cordy's fixed stare."Nothing," Cordy replied as she came to her senses and followed him into the hospital.There was an indescribable tension every time she came.To think that her grandfather was still bedridden… Suddenly, she felt a big warm hand grasping hers, and she looked

And the future was right in front of them.Everyone stayed at Jesse's ward for a while, and Cordy's eyes were still red as they left.She must admit that she felt relieved like never before, as if she really bade farewell to the past and made peace with it after telling her grandfather that John was there with them, alive.And she would always allow John to be in his life, always.Returning to Cranston Hall, John was leading Cordy to her room to get some rest when she said bluntly, "I'll rest later. You can go to our room for now—I want to talk to Patrick."John naturally knew what they would discuss, and Patrick agreed to it cheerfully.The last time they met was at their botched wedding—others aside, the two of them were still business partners, and they should not stay away from each other forever."Okay," John said simply."I'll take you to your room," Sean offered, letting Cordy and Patrick be alone.After John and Sean left, Cordy and Patrick headed to the tearoom outsid

Patrick sighed feebly when he saw Cordy's reaction. "Like I said, you'd have trouble accepting it.""It's not like I can't… but isn't that too quick?!""So, you can't." Patrick shrugged."I thought you're normal again…""And you consider myself and your dear cousin abnormal?" Patrick snorted, a little upset.Cordy pursed her lips. "No, I can respect anyone's preference—what I mean was you changed your heart a little too quickly, and not only that, but you changed your preference too!""But I never did change my preference. I just happen to love you too," Patrick said. "You're the only woman I ever loved."Cordy felt an aching on his chest, still guilty toward Patrick. Naturally, she respected Patrick's preferences, and she believed gender was irrelevant when it came to true love.But ultimately, in the big picture, going with the flow would grant further recognition from society. Most importantly, Patrick and Sean were important people—and she more or less cut off Patrick's w

Cordy had just picked up her teacup and was taking a slow sip—Patrick's words almost left her spitting it out.Patrick frowned and asked in confusion, "Aren't you worried?"Cordy considered it—but John had always been straight…"You don't really understand how amazing those two men really are," Patrick said solemnly. "You should know how incredible John is even without rose-tinted glasses. Others aside, I very much have no argument even if I lost you to him.""As for Sean…" Patrick trailed off, embarrassment showing on his face for once. "He's a real keeper only after I really got to know him.""Really? Is he that amazing?" Cordy was skeptical."Are you doubting your cousin's charisma?" Patrick demanded, clearly upset.Cordy raised a brow—here he was, defending his belief again!"Anyway, I'm going. I have to check out what those two are up to!" Patrick said and left.Cordy watched as he left really urgently right then, afraid that Sean would be stolen.She sighed feebly, thou

John grinned. "Don't worry. I'm quite straight."He could admit that it felt a little pleasant to have Cordy face those mini paranoid episodes—it only meant that Cordy was concerned that someone would take him away from her.But if there was anyone in the world who could tempt him, it was Cordy."I didn't think that Sean would be…" Cordy trailed off again, unable to finish her sentence.She could accept Patrick being that, since they were unrelated and she knew about that for a while.But her cousin was always so masculine, and yet…John chuckled. "Well, I am grateful for Sean's role."If it was not for him, Cordy would probably be still trapped with guilt toward Patrick."That's schadenfreude," she huffed."You have to admit that they make a good pair.""I…" She refused to admit that."Go to sleep already," John said, not pressing the issue just then. "You must be sleepy since we had to wake early for our flight."She could take her time to accept the reality anyway.When

Cordy decided that John was dressed in a manner too loose and tempting, and she went to stand in front of him, buttoning his shirt.John blinked, his lips curling up into a smile."Done," Cordy said, leaving just the collar button free, and looked up to see that meaningful smile on his face. Cordy naturally knew he was smiling because she was being possessive.Actually…Alright, she could admit she was possessive, and she was really a little concerned with two rivals in the house.One would never have been able to tell that of the four people in the house and three of them men, she was in the end the least threatening.It was just ever so slightly upsetting to know that.As they headed downstairs, they found Sean and Patrick sitting on the parlor couch.Sean was reading a newspaper, while Patrick was watching TV.They were not being particularly intimate, but there was an indescribable sense of harmony between them—probably like domestic bliss.Once Cordy and John arrived,

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
