Zoe nodded and said earnestly, "Cordy, you're so nice. John's lucky to have met you."Cordy became a little embarrassed by Zoe's words. In reality, she was lucky to have met John too."Thank goodness Dicky's mother was blind, or I'd never have such a nice cousin-in-law," Zoe said, continuing her flattery. "Just sleep," Cordy urged Zoe with a smile, and then hurried off to the bathroom.Zoey watched as Cordy left, her smile slowly fading.She wondered just then if women had to meet scumbags before meeting their prince. Even Cordy had to run into one like Kyle Jessop.As for herself, Jay was more than enough.-Zoe was woken by her phone's ringtone early the next morning, and seeing who it was, she answered with a groan. "Linda, didn't I tell you that Jay Parker would handle it? We just have to wait, so don't bother me already…""He just made an announcement," Linda said bluntly.Zoe promptly sat up on bed, wide awake right then.Cordy was woken by Zoe too, and she rose to fi

Zoe said nothing, because she had no wish to do so.Linda seemed to sense her displeasure, and she was convinced that Mandy had stolen Jay from Zoe.Still, she sighed. Given Mandy and Jay's influence, Zoe would just have to take this bullet."There's plenty of good men in showbiz, not just Jay Parker," Linda said to comfort Zoe. "Also, the studio is planning to send a statement of support for their relationship, since they both announced it on their respective social accounts. Is that acceptable to you?"They were certainly considerate of Zoe's feelings."It's your call," Zoe simply said. "Alright, then take the day off," Linda told her. "I'll apply for a day's leave for you.""Yeah," Zoe replied, and hung up.She then read through updates on Mandy, who most recently tweeted on her personal account: [Jay and I have been dating for a while. Things are fine between us, and it will only get better from here. Thanks for everyone's concern.] There was even a photo of her and Jay,

But if Jay did not like Zoe, why would he sacrifice himself for Zoe's sake?"Things are complicated between them," John explained. "I'm keeping the details confidential for Jay since Jay is my friend and elder, but the bottom line is that they can't be together."Cordy was actually annoyed that John was openly keeping something from her.Still, John suddenly gave in. "It's not as if I can't tell you…"Cordy, however, did not believe that John was that agreeable. Especially considering his cunning nature!"But since this concerns my family's privacy, I'm afraid I can't reveal it to someone outside the family. That said, you'll have the right to know everything if you marry me."John said it as if it was only natural, leaving Cordy speechless.She already wanted to comment on Alan Levine being as devious as a snake, but it seemed now that the Levines were all a nest of vipers."Anyway," John continued. "Zoe can sleep over at your place for a few days. I'll tell her to move out on

Even before Noel spoke to Cordy, Mandy arrived, escorted by a handful of assistants, and she immediately scoffed at Cordy. "Oh, the world is so small… To think that we'd run into you here."Cordy was actually surprised that Mandy was a part of this.Still, she soon remembered that Solo Show could never get current A-listers. All they had were either former stars whose popularities were fading, or actresses who were at best B-listers. And since the designers were newcomers or even amateurs, there was no popularity to be gained for real stars here.Naturally, Cordy simply ignored Noel and Mandy, since there was nothing to be said to them.But just as she was about to leave, Mandy laughed with utter disdain. "Cordy Sachs! Anyone can take pride in themselves, but always beware that it doesn't become vanity. Aren't you afraid of humiliating yourself in front of one billion people across the country?!""Shouldn't you be more concerned about yourself, Ms. Jessop?" Cordy retorted. "I know

Noel certainly could not depend on her own family since they were strictly patriarchal. They could accept paying the media for publicity, but they would refuse immediately if it were more than what they were willing to pay. But with the Jessops joining in, she could easily surpass her original budget.That was why she went to Kyle and competed as the chief fashion designer of Sachs Enterprises.Even if she felt nothing toward Kyle now, she still had uses for him before achieving the success she wanted.Moreover, Kyle would only be too eager to accept her proposals, not to mention that the money spent would basically clear both their names! And if she could win the grand prize as Jessop Corp's representative, she would also strengthen their reputation.Noel's eyes narrowed right then.She never unleashed her true potential when she worked at Starstream Fashion—not even when Cordy pushed her to design a template for their autumn collection. After all, she refused to work for Cor

The pilot episode of this season's Solo Show was received with widespread acclaim, gaining plenty of public reaction and viewership.Only then did John realize what Cordy meant when she said she would be busy for three months.He kept looping the scenes where Cordy was featured, watching it for over half an hour even though it was supposed to last minutes. Randy was left speechless as he looked on.He understood that Cordy was beautiful and would eclipse even star celebrities if she stood beside them… but John could get cross-eyed if he kept watching the same video repeatedly!Randy could not help chuckling as he imagined the sight! Still, he quickly turned silent the next instant as John glared at him."Do you find this funny?" John asked."Nope," Randy replied, and added. "Mrs. Levine is beautiful."That only made John scowl harder, leaving Randy on the verge of tears. What was wrong with praising Cordy?! She was beautiful!"Out!" John barkedRandy did so immediately,

Still, Cordy retorted, "Don't underestimate your girlfriend's abilities now.""Even so," John said, "you should remember that your boyfriend owns a mountain of gold bars. It's hard, reliable, and dazzling."Cordy could not help laughing at how vividly John was describing himself. Changing the subject just then, John asked, "Are you free tonight?" "...Yeah." She had been neglecting him for almost two weeks, and decided she should see him even if she was not done with work tonight.John made the arrangements. "I'll pick you up after work. We'll eat at your place."Cordy did a double take, and asked to confirm since she believed she had misheard. "There's nothing to eat at my place.""You can make pasta, right?" he asked."That's it?" Cordy asked. "Yeah," he replied happily. Cordy did not say no.Vince Cartman came in to give her a report just then, and she said, "I'm going back to work now. See you tonight.""Yeah."With that, Cordy put away her phone and focused on her

Cordy shook her head. "I-I'm fine."She was just scalded a little by the boiling water, and it only hurt for a split second—she could bear it.However, she felt genuine danger as John got even closer. He was already tall, while she was dainty even though he put her on the bar. She did not even reach his height even though she was sitting so high up! He did not seem to hear her either, and he was studying her fair, delicate fingers for injury. After ensuring there were no red burns on her hand, he eventually said, "Ms. Sachs, you're clumsy, aren't you?" He was being critical, but somehow, he sounded ever so tender. "I'm not!" Cordy retorted, though she suddenly lost confidence after that.She just realized she messed up as many times as she cooked for John at her place.Meeting John's meaningful gaze just then, she admitted, "It's just around you."She never messed up around others, after all."Really?" John asked, his lips curling upward—clearly satisfied by the answer.

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
