Things got a little awkward, though Zoe quickly said, "That's not the same for us.""How so?" Bob asked."I never loved you," Zoe said bluntly. "Of course we can be friends."Bob was left staring at her—talk about going for the jugular!What, was she worried she had not hurt him enough and had to keep rubbing salt on his wound?That was when Zoe deliberately asked Quinn, "Don't you think you wouldn't actually be friends if you were really in love with him?"Quinn pursed her lips in silence, and it was Sam who said, "Nope. Maybe you find said person not worth your time."Quinn held her tongue right then, while Zoe shot Sam a glare.Getting into a relationship and even marrying? He was more suited to be forever alone!Still, Jay quickly tried to smooth things over. "It's rare for us to gather, and the next time would be my baby's birthday. Open another bottle, Bob. Let's get drunk.""Yeah," Bob was certainly sharp.This world where only he got hurt was already a husk, and he d

Zoe: [Honestly, these two are as stressful as me and Jay back in the day.]Cordy: [At least you're self aware.]Zoe: […We're getting off-topic, sister.]Cordy smiled. [Let Quinn indulge a little tonight. We can talk to her tomorrow.]Zoe: [Fine.]And with that, Quinn drank five beers on her own that night—it was basically her limit, and she lay sprawled, her head muddled.Both her stomach and her heart hurt, and she really felt frustrated.She needed to vent, but she had been keeping a lid on it because she was the type who never cried no matter how bad things got.Whether it was her parents dying when she was a child and leaving her with no refuge, she could never reveal her true self."That's about enough," Zoe told the others right then.Cordy echoed, "It's late, Johnny. We should get home soon too."Now basically a slave to the missus, John would spit out the alcohol he was just chugging if Cordy so much as said it.As he hurried home with her, Zoe shot Bob a look, who

Ultimately, Sam carried Quinn home.She was more stubborn after getting drunk, and since it was late, they would cause a ruckus if they returned to Saunders Mansion.He placed Quinn on the bed and was about to leave when Quinn caught his wrist. "Don't go."Sam's heart raced—he could feel the warmth of her palm in his hand. "Open your eyes, Quinn. I'm Sam.""I know," Quinn stared at him with a thousand-yard stare. "You're an irresponsible man!"Sam pursed his lips—was she that wild whenever she got drunk?!"You have no right to hand me off to Ryan! I'm not a piece of merchandise!" Quinn cried as she suddenly rose and stood on the bed, glaring downward at Sam."Don't stand there. You'll fall," Sam said."I'm not going to fall," Quinn refused to listen, and kept pressing, "Why did you push me away? How did I come up short? My figure? My face? Why are you so picky, Sam Saunders?!""Just lie down.""No!" Quinn refused to let him touch her, evading him whenever he reached out to ho

Sam suddenly felt like he was intoxicated, and so much so that he could not differentiate between dreams and reality.After who knows how long, Quinn finally pulled away, though she kept staring fixedly at Sam.He was docile for once, not moving and allowing her to kiss him as much as she wanted."Is my kissing that bad?" she asked.Hell, no!He was excited he could explode and did not dare to respond because he might pin her down, and the rest went without saying…Even so, Quinn pressed, "Tell me! What am I lacking? I'll change, okay?!"Sam gulped—he was not that calm.Quinn was lighting a fire in him that could not be extinguished!"Quinn…" He groaned and tried to push her away, only for her to kiss him again!Sam's temple veins were bulging—the woman was really playing with fire!If this went on… No!But he could not push her away, and Quinn was basically doing everything she wanted to him!Sam's fingers stiffened right then—an unruly, dainty hand had reached beneath

"You'll regret this tomorrow, Quinn," Sam vowed stressfully, his whole body shaking since this felt worse than death."No, I won't," Quinn snapped slowly and clearly. "My only regret is only having sex once in my whole life, and it sucked!""What?!" Sam exclaimed in shock."Why did we only do it once?! And I was… passive!" Quinn continued loudly.Sam pursed his lips—so she was talking about that one time they did it.He almost thought… But that was impossible, since Quinn and Ryan had been dating for so long, and he saw Quinn leaving Ryan's room with his own eyes!"I'll take the lead this time!" Quinn's gaze was clearly muddled, but her words mysteriously staunch. "Push me away, and I'll bite!"And with that, Quinn jumped on him, pinning him down as she threatened, "Don't you dare resist."She kissed him again, and Sam did not fight back—he could not bear to push her away as she was now.He had the feeling she would cry if he did, and he did not want her to cry or his heart

At that very moment, Quinn spotted a glass of water and a pill.There was a note under it that read 'morning after pill'.Quinn stared at the pill and the glass, understanding how it felt to have her parade rained on just then.Her chest ached, but Sam's meaning was clear—last night was just a moment of impulsiveness between two adults.No responsibility would be taken, no sentiment would be retained.Quinn picked up the pill and laughed miserably.-Quinn only returned to Saunders Mansion at noon.Her phone was out of juice as well, so she had no idea how many times Ryan would have called her by now.As soon as she stepped inside the drawing room, she found Ryan glowering at her, clearly angry.On the other hand, both Lindsay and Marvin were clearly concerned. "Where have you been, Quinn? Why did you turn off your phone? We called Zoe, who said you left with Sam, but Sam said you weren't with him when we called him. Where did you go? Are you alright?!"Quinn stared at them

Everything went smoothly this time.When Sam and Quinn stepped out, they each carried their divorce certificate. Ryan walked up to Quinn in crutches, asking, "Is it done?""Yeah," Quinn replied.She held out the papers, which Ryan hurriedly snatched to read, smiling after he did.He was worried something unexpected would happen—that was why he followed Quinn here.If anything, he did not expect things to go this smoothly.Sam and Quinn did not say a word to each other either, and they were done soon after they got in without dragging their feet.Did they really feel nothing for each other? Was that why they split up so quickly? Or did something happen between them?Either way, Ryan was satisfied as long as they were divorced—he could be with Quinn out in the open now. Moreover, he was confident that Quinn would return to him soon without Sam tying her down.As they stepped out of the civil bureau, Ryan even called out to Sam, "Why haven't you come home lately even after our

Sam remained nonchalant. "It's no hurry. I've been preparing for half a month."He did not seem affected that he would be leaving the country along with his friends and family."When are you coming back?" Ryan asked.Sam shrugged. "No idea—it depends on how things go. I'll be back early if things go smoothly. If they don't, who knows?"Ryan had more to say but realized he had nothing more to say.He took Quinn's hand just then.Quinn seemed to regain her senses just then, and she pursed her lips, a tear rolling off the corner of her eye.She hid it well."Come on," Ryan told her.She nodded, not saying a word to Sam even in parting.Sam did not look at her, because he knew he could only watch her leave when she had gone far with Ryan, which he did.Inr reality, there were plenty of talented representatives in Saunderia—Sam did not have to go abroad himself. Still, he offered to do it to stay away from them.As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind—just like now.He

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
