"Cordy's back?" Quinn was obviously excited. "Of course I'm coming! It's been so long—we have to thank John and her for helping us so much this time.""Yeah. We'll be having dinner at Jay's place," Sam said. "He can't really move around much, and Zoe's pregnant—it'll be more convenient for them.""Okay. Just call me when you're leaving work—I'll help your mom for your dad's birthday banquet.""Yeah." Sam nodded.After breakfast, they went their separate ways, with Quinn heading straight to Saunders Mansion.As soon as she entered the drawing room, she found Ryan seated alone at the couch.Naturally, she was obviously a little nervous about the sudden encounter, especially since they were alone.Ryan stared at her for a long while and eventually asked, "Are you here to see my mom?""Yeah." Quinn nodded. "Are you staying here?""What, you'd rather I be gone?" Ryan scoffed."No, but you were always busy with work before," Quinn explained."I was busy with my research before, bu

Once Quinn passed her keys to Ryan, the three of them headed out of Saunders Mansion.When Quinn was going to take the backseat, Ryan told her, "You're riding shotgun, Quinn.""I'll sit with your mom—""I don't know my way around North City. Be my guide," Ryan said, but there was an edge in his voice that did not permit refusal."Use the satnav," Lindsay said, bailing Quinn out right then. "We're heading to Verdant Hotel—I've already contacted the manager, and he will be waiting for us."Then, she also added, "Quinn, sit in the back with me. Let's chat.""Okay." Quinn agreed to it right away, unable to hide a smile.Ryan was left glowering—so she was that happy that she did not have to sit with him?!Gritting his teeth, he got in the driver's seat, turned on the satnav, and started driving. Along the way, Lindsay said, "You must take me seriously what I told you last night, Quinn.""About what?" Quinn asked in confusion."Having children with Sam.""Oh… okay," Quinn quickl

Meanwhile, after arranging the details of the banquet, Quinn stayed with Lindsay as they gave specifications to have Marvin's tailored tuxedo for his birthday banquet.Lindsay told Quinn to have a dress tailored as well, and Quinn left her phone on the table while she got changed.Quinn did not expect Ryan to answer Sam's call, and Ryan did not say anything when she returned.She never had the habit of checking her phone intermittently, not to mention that she was serious about picking clothes with Lindsay.Eventually, her phone rang again.Ryan reached for it again, seeing that it was Sam, but Quinn snatched it away before he could.While Ryan scowled a little, he soon felt glee at the thought that Sam probably saw his post.As such, he pretended to read a paper nonchalantly while listening attentively to Quinn and Sam's call.Nonetheless, he scowled again as Quinn greeted Sam eagerly and happily like a couple passionately in love who were kept briefly apart."Hey, Sam." "S

Quinn did not mind Sam's coldness, however—she knew him well enough, and he certainly was not the type who would go shopping or comment seriously while one shopped. If anything, it was outrageous that he would come and sit around."Oh, hello, Sam," Lindsay greeted him when she saw him."I'm taking Quinn with me. We're having dinner with friends," he said."Oh, sure. Young people should socialize more often—it's good," Lindsay said cheerfully, having grown more tolerant of Sam these days. Before this, while she would not disapprove whenever Sam mentioned he was going out, she would make a face, indicating clearly that she did not like it."It's still early now. Come try out your suit," she told him nonetheless."No, we're leaving now. Getting changed is too much effort…""Now!" Lindsay snapped sternly."But I'm tired after work…""It took Quinn a long while to pick this for you. Can't you put it on for your wife's sake?" Lindsay huffed, frustrated that Sam was still so dense w

Sam was certainly easily satisfied—Quinn just needed to throw him one candy, and he would be feeling the sweetness for the rest of life.Nearby, Lindsay was smiling knowingly as they continued their happy chatter. While she had been concerned about their marriage just now, it was now obvious that it was pointless."Sam, weren't you taking her for dinner?" Lindsay asked just then."Yeah.""You should go now that you're done trying on your clothes," she said, stopping short of calling it a date.Either way, she obviously wanted them to spend time alone and properly fix their marriage."What about you?" Quinn asked."Ryan's with me," Lindsay quickly said. "I just need him to stay with me, and I'll be moving around to make further arrangements for my husband. Don't mind me."Ryan was clearly reluctant, but there was no way he could refuse after Lindsay said that much.Quinn naturally did not refuse either. "I'm leaving my car keys, then—Sam and I will get changed now."After th

Quinn gritted her teeth, braced herself, and asked, "Sam, did you see Ryan's post?"Sam's fingers clenched on the steering wheel, his good mood suddenly ruined.He was just thinking he had the upper hand for the day… and she had to rub salt into the wound instead!"Don't you mind?' Quinn pressed."Nope," he replied. "It's a normal post. There's nothing upsetting."Quinn was left staring at him, disappointment showing in her eyes a little. Was he really not concerned that she would return to Ryan's side?!Fighting against her misery, Quinn said, "Even if you don't, I'm obligated to explain myself as your wife. Whatever happens, Ryan and I had a pure relationship."Sam's fingers clenched on the steering wheel again.Pure relationship?! Really?! They obviously did it when…Sam stopped himself from thinking about it, since he was no saint either and had no right to demand anything from Quinn.Moreover, her love was pure while he was basically rotten and had a lot less reason to

Cordy was left blushing due to Zoe's words, since the latter was clearly right on the money."See? I know the man—he's always kept his passionate side bottled," Zoe said smugly. "The man might look cold, but he really lets loose when it's the one he loves. You're going to see even more action from now on!""Stop it, Zoe." Cordy was at a loss for words. "You're pregnant. Babies start learning even in the womb.""Who cares about a slab of meat."Who on earth calls a baby a slab of meat?!Still, Zoe turned toward Quinn just then. "So, what have you been busy with lately? It takes you days to reply to a text."Zoe was certainly fuming—pregnancy was already boring, and what made it worse was Jay stopping her from doing everything!She felt like she would waste away!"Things have been busy with Saunderia," Quinn explained. "There were operational issues that almost led to a bankruptcy, so Sam and I were busy for a while.""Did you just say Sam?" Zoe asked skeptically. "He's working?

Quinn certainly never knew what it was about Ryan that irked her.His success certainly could not be denied—he was the best of the best, and even the nation wanted his service.It was not as if he was unmatched, but he appeared haughty nonetheless.He belittled businessmen, considering them greedy and money-grubbing—that was why he was told his parents that he would not inherit the family business.And when he socialized, he would only be flexing his knowledge, demonstrating his excellence almost by reflex.When one put all those into consideration, the man was certainly vain—so much so that Quinn got sick of it now.At the same time, Zoe elaborated on the various traumas Ryan left her with. "I mean, he refused to join us when we were playing as children, but he would stay nearby, making sure we could see him practicing programming on his phone. When we watch variety shows, he'd say they were fake and only people with low IQ would like them. Even when we're having snacks, he woul

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
