Zoe was very much smug. "John's really announcing to the world that he's marrying the finest bride, isn't he? The wedding in North City was exceedingly grand, but he still managed to take it to new heights here at the capital. Whoever wants to use the 'wedding of the century' title from now on must at least surpass what he did."

"Actually, it's not all him," Cordy muttered.

"What?" Zoe exclaimed in surprise.

"My family definitely had a hand in this too," Cordy explained. "We married without the family's approval before, so they want to announce my status as a Cranston. That's why they would work together to make it so grand."

"I think it's just an excuse," Zoe said very confidently. "John would be unable to resist telling the whole world! It's like he's afraid you'd run away, marrying you like this—haha!"

Cordy did not argue since it was something John could do.

"And here I thought I'd seen his bag of tricks—that wedding in North City was plenty enough. To think that he could sti

    John went down on one knee and offered her the bouquet he was holding.Cordy grinned brightly, her white wedding dress magnifying her dazzlingly beautiful presence. "I've come to get you, Cordy," John said, his voice quiet and alluring. Nearby, several cameras were capturing every moment, as if afraid to miss some exciting moment."Yeah, I've been waiting for you," Cordy replied, looking at him lovingly in return.If their last wedding was a surprise, she had truly been waiting for this."Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" Zoe exclaimed nearby, and everyone else echoed.Cordy turned toward John while he returned her gaze.They were not too sure how each other felt in the wedding at North City, so they might appear distant, even estranged.But this time, John held Cordy's cheeks and kissed her firmly on the lips, not caring who was watching."Yeah!!!" Everyone exclaimed excitedly around them as they watched them kiss.It was a loving, lasting kiss that one would not find even in movies.

    Droves of journalists were waiting inside and outside the wedding hall, and John and Cordy's arrival sent the place into a frenzy.As there was a press conference arranged beforehand, they stood among the journalists and answered the questions posed to them."The previous wedding in North City had already stirred waves in North City, Mr. Levine. Why another wedding? Is it to make up to Ms. Sachs?""Ms. Sachs, you and Mr. Levine had been hovering around each other for years. Why only get married now? Was there perhaps misunderstandings in between?""Ms. Sachs, why did you hide your identity as a member of the Cranston Family? Were there perhaps some factors you're not at ease to discuss?""Mr. Levine…"As the journalists peppered them with questions, John calmly said, "Please, one at a time—or we don't know whose question to answer, and we won't be able to hear anyone clearly. We've arranged for this press conference to be conducted with ample time so everyone's question would be

    Cordy smiled. "We'll be seeing each other soon.""Yeah, but…" John trailed off."What is it?""You just said you love me."While Cordy was left speechless, he said, "I love you too.""I know," Cordy replied calmly, though she could feel butterflies in her stomach."See you later," John said then, reluctantly releasing her hand. However, before Cordy turned to leave, she suddenly turned and threw her hands around his neck, standing on her toes to kiss him.As John froze, she said, "I'm not going to run away, John Levine. Never ever.""Yeah." He smiled and nodded. -Naturally, Zoe was smiling pointedly at Cordy when she entered the dressing room. "I saw everything, y'know… he must be beside himself with joy right now. Heck, I bet he has a big dumb smile on his face in the dressing room."Cordy blushed, but she had to agree it was likely."Well, you're finally going to be with him now." Zoe sighed emotionally. "Honestly? It'd kill me too if you didn't end up with him."In

    Quinn said, "Actually, Sam changed a lot… He hasn't been fooling around ever since he got out…"Zoe was speechless. "And that makes him an acceptable husband?""No, but…""But what?" Zoe demanded.Quinn had no idea how to explain the many things that happened between her and Sam.Moreover, she was the one who had him sent to prison…"Time's almost up, ladies. It's time for the bride to take the stage," a staff member called out from the stage just then.Zoe therefore had to give up, and she sighed. "I'll talk to you later."They strode out, and Cordy saw John immediately. They both stood before the red carpet, both sides of which were arranged with tables full of guests.There were red ribbons and decorations everywhere, livening up the atmosphere in the wedding hall.The spotlight found Cordy and John once the appointed hour arrived.In her wedding dress, Cordy appeared prim and magnificent, appearing brighter and more dazzling as if she was above the rest.Zoe could not

    There was no way a man like Jesse would put up an act for the cameras—his status and age certainly made that unnecessary.And there was no denying the look of adoration and love he was giving Cordy.To say that he did not care about Cordy now would be nothing but obstinance or just lip service to earn clicks.Cordy then turned toward John, and they held each other gazes.They were both smiling with tears in their eyes.Was she being emotional? Happy? Or just reveling in bliss?Cordy could not quite describe how she felt just then, but she earnestly felt that this happiness would last the rest of her life.The hall thundered with applause—there was nothing mushy about the ceremony, but there was just something emotional about their union.One would even start sniffling or tearing up—in fact, Zoe was doing it at the moment."It's their second wedding," she sniffled loudly. "How is it still so emotional?"Quinn's tears welled in her eyes too—but there was just something beautifu

    Zoe was left staring at the staff member and wondering if she had heard him wrong.What?! The bride and groom had left for their honeymoon and left all those guests behind?!And the best men and bridesmaids were supposed to handle the guests?!Those two… They really bailed on everyone!Meanwhile, the staff member continued, "This way, please. We've prepared drinks for you to share toasts with the guests."-Cordy was actually surprised that John led her straight out of the hotel once the wedding was over.There was a car waiting at the front entrance, and John opened the door for her, helping her with her cumbersome dress before getting him inside.And as the car drove away, Cordy was left staring at the hotel that seemed to shrink in the distance.It took her a while to regain her senses. "Where are we going?"Were they not staying for the luncheon? And if they left so suddenly, what would happen to the guests?"We're going for our honeymoon.""What?" Cordy was left st

    John said, "My priority right now is to spend time alone with you without anyone disturbing us.""Even if that means abandoning Dicky too?" Cordy raised a brow."Can't deny that he's the biggest third-wheel now.""To think that he's always worshiped you." Cordy smirked—the man was really leaving their son to his own devices. "He'll understand when he's older."Cordy snorted—always an excuse for everything, huh?"Anyway, we have nothing to worry about. Just relax and enjoy our time alone together."Cordy inhaled deeply.There was nothing she could do after he had gone that far anyway, so she just had to play along.She also did not want to think how badly Zoe would chew her out for this when they got back.-As a matter of fact, Zoe wanted to chew out John and Cordy right now.There were eighty tables seated full of guests, and they had to greet everyone, table by table!And forget about picking up their mess—they still needed to come up with excuses for the newlyweds' abs

    Zoe felt pained even as she remembered how queasy she was in the morning.Fortunately, her beer soon arrived, and the sight of it allowed her to forget the discomfort in her mind.She took the bottle and poured herself a glass, but before she could drink, Jay snatched the glass off her hands. "You can't drink anymore, Zoe."Zoe did a double take but snorted unhappily, "Why?! I'm beat—can't I unwind?""For the sake of your health, you shouldn't drink now.""What about my health? Don't worry, I'm not actually sick—""You might be pregnant," Jay said slowly and clearly.Everyone including Zoe was left gaping."W-What?! I… We… It's not that easy, right?!" she blabbed, too agitated to be coherent."When's the last time you had your period?" Jay asked."Around the tenth of last month?" Zoe was not sure about the specific date or time since she did not bother to keep track of it—it would just happen once a month anyway. "The twelfth," Jay said precisely then."I think so." Zoe

    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
