Right after he did, Cordy sent a direct message to Zoe: [Can you calm down and see what Quinn has to say first? Sam worked hard for this surprise. Don't ruin it for him.]Zoe promptly replied: [Okay, okay. I won't talk.]Back in the group chat, Quinn typed: [You knew, Zoe?]Zoe replied: [Knew what? No idea.]Quinn then responded: [Then what was that supposed to mean?]Zoe promptly thought of something. [I mean, Sam did change. He used to goof off, and now he's doing so well at work! Jay's been praising him from time to time just to mess with Bob, since Bob's the one who's done nothing of note yet.]She went on at length just to change the subject and cover up her blunder.Still, Quinn replied: [I don't mean at work, although he's improved a lot on that front. I'm talking about his personal life.]Zoe responded: [Personal life? Isn't it going well? You two are doing fine now, no?]Quinn continued: [I might just be imagining it.]Zoe frowned. [Elaborate?]Quinn paused in hesit

In the other chat group, Cordy was assuring Quinn. [You're being paranoid. Zoe and I both think that Sam has changed a lot.]Quinn replied: [I think so too, and I was even happy that he made amends. But he's not the type to stay still, and I guess I expected too much from him—I wouldn't have been so disappointed otherwise.]Cordy typed: [Sam was a hellraiser, but I think he's an earnest man. Given his personality, I don't think he'd hide an affair if he really was having one.]While Quinn was left stunned, Zoe simply watched, afraid to butt in just in case she misspoke.At the same time, she was impressed with how persuasive Cordy was.If it were her, she would never be able to convince Quinn of Sam's innocence without exposing him. Cordy then replied: [Think about it. What is Sam like? Would he hide anything from you after being married to you for so many years?][That's why you shouldn't overthink this. Maybe he's just up to something he can't talk to you about yet, and one s

Cordy typed: [The point is, what do we do to allay Quinn's suspicion?]Sam had no idea and could not help peeking at Quinn just then.Quinn was already focused on him, so when he turned, she promptly looked toward him.As their eyes met, Sam promptly averted his gaze, looking really guilty just then.Quinn pursed her lips, left perplexed by Sam's recent behavior. Sam was at a loss too—he did not do anything wrong, so why could he not hold his head high?He texted the secret chat group: [I don't know.]And it was the truth.Zoe thought about it. [How about coming up with some excuse and telling her where you were this morning?]Cordy replied: [No, that would expose him. We just assured Quinn, so if Sam explains himself right away, Quinn would be sharp enough to tell that we were talking to him. She might blame us, so doing anything now is unnecessary since it'd come off as suspiciously specific denial.]Zoe responded: [So? What should he do?]Cordy thought about it. [Actuall

Sam eventually told the boys that Cordy and Zoe were helping him.After all, he was really worried that the two wife-for-brains would move heaven and earth to find out what they were up to and mess up his plans.Naturally, they were all teasing him, with John and Jay accusing Sam of working two pregnant women for his plan.He certainly had to make up for it before they finally let it pass.Most importantly, the plan was almost complete and the only thing they had to do was wait. -Marvin's sixtieth birthday arrived soon enough, and it was a lively scene.Though he was not trending, the media still had interest in him. He was also mentioned frequently on news and social media, and most importantly, the netizens were surprised by Sam's sudden rise.He was the typical freeloading rich playboy, but he somehow managed to carry Saunderia on his shoulders when everyone was convinced it would be Ryan.As posts praising him changing his ways circulated everywhere, Ryan saw it too.He

After having their makeup done by professionals early in the morning, Marvin and Lindsay got restless and headed to the hotel first thing in the morning.They called Quinn as they left, since they were used to calling her instead of Sam. The boy never answered, so they basically counted on her.Quinn had just gotten out of bed when she received their call and was drowsily letting the makeup artist pretty her up."Yeah, both Sam and I are up. I'm having my makeup done, while he's still in the bathroom," she quickly answered. "Yeah, just head over without us. We'll be there before eight."After hanging up, Quinn looked at her reflection in the mirror and was left wondering if it was a little too elaborate.After all, she was not the star of the show.Even her dress was changed—the matching couple set with Sam was now a sparkling chest gown. It was beautiful, but it was so showy she would be stealing the spotlight.She could not resist asking just then, "Sam, are you sure I should

After Quinn was done dressing up, she looked positively dazzling in her silver chest gown that shone beneath the lights.Somehow, she had the feeling she would steal the spotlight from Lindsay since this dress was simply blinding.Feeling a pang of worry even as she looked at her beautiful reflection, she asked again, "Are you sure this is alright, Sam?"It actually felt a little inappropriate."Don't worry," Sam told her confidently. "This is the right dress.""Did your mom really send this?""Don't you trust me?" Sam asked, a little sternly."Alright." Quinn gave in—she did not have to worry if it's Lindsay's intention, since Lindsay had always complained that she was too discreet and rather she stood out.Who knows, maybe Lindsay wanted more people to see her during this occasion."Come on," Sam said. "Mom told us to be early since there will be an interview and photo session.""Okay."They headed out together, but Sam remained distracted and constantly on edge.He was c

Sam said, "There's no misunderstanding. I have behaved questionably—I suddenly just came around.""How? Because your father was hospitalized?""Yes, it certainly was a huge blow," Sam said earnestly. "Even as a child, I always thought of him as a titan—a hero who would pillar the family. It never crossed my mind that he would age or get sick, and that one day, it would be up to me to do the same."Marvin was listening nearby and clearly touched by Sam's words.He was certainly rejoicing—he never imagined that Sam would become such a good son."Also, there's also my wife, Quinn," Sam said.As he turned toward her, she was actually surprised to suddenly be named. Still, Sam continued, "She helped me a lot, standing by my side as I took over management of Saunderia and resolved the problems that the company faced without complaint. I had a temper, but she'd tolerate and encourage me. Her contribution was necessary for me to calm down and focus on my work."Quinn's heart was racin

Lindsay's face fell, fueling the imagination of the journalists, who had been watching them all so closely."What happened, Mrs. Saunders? Is it something serious?!" one of them promptly asked, keen for it to be some incredible headline.Their reaction prompted the rest of the Saunders to turn toward Lindsay, and they realized something was wrong as well."What's wrong, dear?" Marvin promptly asked, but Lindsay's eyes were red with tears and she could not say a word."What's wrong? You're scaring me," Marvin repeated, starting to get nervous as well.Sam was staring straight at Lindsay as well. "What is it, Mom?"Lindsay's lips were trembling, but she still could not say a word as her tears kept rolling down her cheeks.Sam's eyes narrowed, just as he noticed that her phone screen was still lit.He promptly took it and read the text, and his face fell as well."Mr. Saunders? What happened here? What does the message say?" the journalists asked.Sam, however, completely ignore

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
