A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1291
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

After all, Quinn turned thirty this year.Thirty!All her youth, gone!"How are we the same? I'll soon be the mother of two kids, while your children are nonexistent."Quinn was speechless.Was Zoe not afraid of giving her depression, rubbing salt into her wound constantly?!"I mean, look at Cordy—she's our age too, but she'll be a mother-in-law a few years down the line.""Now you're just being ridiculous." Quinn snorted—Richard was barely a teenager!"Don't you know how dangerous middle-aged pregnancy can be?" Zoe asked."But I'm not middle-aged, am I?""You will be if you don't get to work soon.""It's not like I can do it just because I want to.""What, are you saying Sam can't do it?!" Zoe said a little too loudly while staring straight at Sam.Sam, however, was taking his sweet time eating and drinking with Bob, even toasting Sean and Patrick from time to time. He seemed perfectly at ease and did not seem to care about what Zoe and Quinn were saying, even if he was

After the luncheon, Jay took Zoe to the hospital, while Quinn stayed at the wedding hall to mingle with the guests.Her cheeks were a little red, and she was slightly drunk but still coherent.Moreover, she was doing this for Cordy and naturally must not be careless.Sam was nowhere to be seen, though she knew that he always hated to mingle. In fact, the more formal an event, the more spiteful he would be.He simply preferred to hang out with his buddies, though Bob remained at the wedding hall to mingle with the guests as well. However, he did not stay for too long and left once he saw that the Cranstons were helping with the guests diligently."Why don't you get some rest, Quinn?" Sean asked in concern when he saw her after going one round around the hall. "You must be tired—you've been on your feet for a while, and you were up early this morning.""I'm fine." Quinn shook her head. "Cordy's friends from North City are here, and I should greet them since I'm more familiar with

Still, Sam always looked too fearsome, and one would feel pressured when he stopped smiling.Quinn turned and headed inside an anteroom. It was quite late, so she could not go back to her room to sleep or she would end up sleeping past the evening's banquet.She lounged on the couch in the anteroom, fiddling with her phone to kill time, only to end up falling asleep and waking up at 6 PM.She thought she had just closed her eyes for a moment—how did she allow an entire hour to pass without noticing?She quickly got up in shock when she realized that she had a blanket on and her phone was put aside.That was weird—did someone come in earlier?As she got off the couch and opened the door, she found Sean right aside."Ah," he said. "The banquet is starting. I was just coming to get you.""Oh, okay," Quinn quickly replied."Just leave whenever you like," Sean added. "I'll make arrangements for the guests. You've been busy the whole day, so get some rest soon.""Yeah." Quinn nod

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
