A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1410
Quinn looked at Sam then, "It's late—we should get some sleep. I hope Saunderia will soon be clear of this crisis too.""Yeah." Sam nodded."I'm going back to my room, then.""Yeah.""Goodnight.""Goodnight."As Quinn got to her feet, she actually felt a reluctance to leave.Instead, she suddenly arched her back and hugged him as she gave him a peck on his forehead.Sam's heart skipped a beat and started to pound thunderously and uncontrollably.His fingers twitched, but before he could reach out to pull her into his arms, she was already gone.His fingers brushed against her clothes, and he shuddered slightly. He paused for a moment but ultimately gave up—he was worried things would spiral out of control.Moreover, it was very late and he could feel Quinn's exhaustion.There was no rush too—he just had to wait for a few days. Once that was done, they would have all the time they needed.Hence, even as his heart pounded controllably, Sam watched as Quinn left his room.

But now, Sam had used the shortest time possible to sign a strategic agreement with the world's leading authority in the new energy automotive industry.Once news of this spread, Saunderia would have no issues with sales while their stocks would skyrocket in value. Who would ever expect that the company would be facing bankruptcy one moment and suddenly leapfrog up several notches?And that was all thanks to Sam, even if it was hard to believe. Ryan had done his homework this time, and there was no question about it—Sam had taken a personal loan from John Levine when Saunderia's capital flow stagnated to make up for any shortfalls. As for Damian Craig, it was also all thanks to Sam and Quinn visiting him abroad and securing the joint venture on their own. No one in Saunderia helped at all in that undertaking.Naturally, Ryan had mixed feelings about all that.He was certainly pleased that Saunderia survived. After all, his father was rushed to the ICU after he collapsed from

"What's the point?" Ryan demanded coolly. "If the decision is theirs, how is it going to help our sales?""I'll say it again. This is neither to increase sales nor to exploit our own employees—I'm offering them the rebates as a reward," Sam explained solemnly. "Regardless of how things will turn out, they've more or less stood with us to surmount this crisis. At this time, we should be rewarding them to better encourage them.""You could just offer them bonuses instead of some elaborate scheme," Ryan schemed."That would instead give them false hopes," Sam replied. "And they'd expect us to pay them a fat bonus whenever the company faces a crisis. Sure, they might be pleased this time, but they'd get unhappy should our rewards fall short. Rebates are the best choice—a suitable reward since it would not lead them to expect too much while making sure that they felt valued.""I concur," one of the board members promptly said once Sam finished.The other board members promptly echoed.

Sensing the office door open, Ryan snapped without looking up, "Get out! Haven't you learned to knock?!"Marvin and Lindsay were at the door, and his outburst left their faces falling.They had always considered Ryan their pride, not to mention that he would always be the polite, obedient son when they were around. Naturally, his outburst left them in disbelief—even Marvin would not snap at his employees like that!On the other hand, sensing that they were not moving, Ryan snapped impatient, "Do you not understand what I'm—"He looked up, cutting himself short when he suddenly saw Marvin and Lindsay standing there with Peter behind them.Ryan's expression quickly changed, and a flicker of nervousness showed in his eyes.He was already frustrated, filled with pent-up stress by the improvement in Saunderia's finances and Sam's leadership. That was why he was venting those frustrations without knowing who it was."What are you doing here?" Marvin asked as he strode inside.It wa

Marvin's tone was a little cold. "I know what to do with my company. You don't have to worry."The way he said it was almost like he felt that Ryan was speaking out of turn, and Ryan could tell that much.So everyone was changing their opinion toward Sam just because he helped Saunderia through the crisis? From Ryan's perspective, it was just a fluke—he would never consider Sam significant!Still, he packed up his belongings and said, "I'm going now.""Yeah."Ryan started to leave but paused at the doorway. "I'm staying over for the weekend since the unit is having an outing.""Yeah," Marvin replied. "Ask Mrs. Watson if there's anything you like."Ryan's eyes flashed coldly—Mrs. Watson was the housekeeper in Saunder Mansion.Whenever he returned before, the family would definitely go all out welcoming him home, preparing feasts and the like. Even Marvin himself would skip work just to see him!And now, they were treating him this coldly?! He was now inconsequential just beca

Lindsay entered and said, "Good work, Sam and Quinn."Both of them looked at them at the same time, only seeing her just then since they were busy with work.Sam was surprised. "When did you come by, Mom?""Your dad insisted on coming, so I came with him.""Dad's here too?" Sam frowned."He was persistent and I couldn't stop him," Linda said with a smile. "I told him that he only gets two hours, though. He's leaving once the time is up.""Is he feeling better?" Quinn asked in concern."The doctors said he's mostly fine, but I'm still worried given the precedent.""Yeah, he should rest more." Quinn nodded and quickly asked, "Would you like a drink? I'll have my secretary bring it for you." "No, I just came to check on you," Lindsay said mildly. "I won't impose either—you should get back to work."When Quinn got up to walk with her, she stopped Quinn. "No, you can stay. I'm just sightseeing anyway. Also, you should come by tonight for dinner. It's Marvin's sixtieth birthday so

When Sam was finished with work, he looked up to find Quinn staring at him fixedly.He blinked in return and said, "Quinn?"Quinn came to her senses, blushing right away as she got entranced from staring at Sam. While she never thought him good looking, she found him exceedingly handsome today.That chiseled cheek matched with his pronounced facial features… There was no hiding that masculine charm of his.Could this be beauty in the eye of the beholder?!Quinn's heart skipped a couple of beats, and she could feel it thump even as she pursed her lips.Not wanting to hide her feelings for Sam anymore, she mustered her courage to turn and meet his gaze.Sam could tell that she was acting weird as well—even the way she looked at him was different.He gulped without knowing. Heaven knows how much he wanted to rush up and take her into his arms and never let go.The air in the room seemed aflame just then, until Sam's phone suddenly started to ring.Both Sam and Quinn were sta

Sam stared at their interlocked fingers, his heart racing as warmth overflowed over his chest.He could not help tightening his grip, as if to respond after she took the initiative.Quinn smiled lightly as they entered, holding hands.Marvin and Lindsay were waiting on the porch.Ryan was there too, and he immediately saw Sam and Quinn holding hands.There was no hiding the rage in his eyes—was this a challenge? Were Sam and Quinn deliberately challenging him?!Lindsay and Marvin noticed that too and smiled happily since they really wanted Sam and Quinn's marriage to improve!Lindsay greeted them eagerly. "Welcome back. I'll have the kitchen serve dinner.""Okay." Sam nodded. Neither he nor Quinn let go, as they were all too keen to keep holding on to each other.In fact, Quinn never thought that holding hands would be this blissful.Still, as they sat down together with the family at the table, Sam would be peeking at Quinn on occasion, and Quinn would return his gaze oc

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
