A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 278
Cordy was shocked to discover the news regarding Kyle’s suicide.‘The worst for him,’ she thought, ‘was just ten or twenty years in jail.’ She never expected him to actually end his own life.When she thought about it again, for him to stay alive would only be more tragic. There was no way he could accept being deceived so thoroughly by a woman he once loved, and that his own family had fallen to ruin by his own design. His pride wouldn’t be able to handle such disgrace, either. Death might be only the release for him.Even so, Cordy didn’t feel much about his death. She had no guilt, especially since she wasn’t the one who had caused his death. She had zero sympathy, too—Kyle was no angel.If anything, the only emotion she felt was her respect for the sanctity of life. Nonetheless, the condemnation towards Kyle dwindled following his suicide, since most people observed the rule not to speak ill of the dead.Hence, all the flaming and scorn for him ended after a little over

After Cordy left work, she headed straight to John’s apartment.It was only after she arrived and saw the food placed on the table that she remembered that she hadn’t eaten.In fact, she had forgotten that it was now dinnertime. Winston invited her to join them eagerly, while Dicky was also hugging her leg and saying, "Mommy! I missed you so much! Let's eat together—Winston made us a lot of good food."Unable to resist Dicky's enthusiasm and because she afforded Kyle an opening to attack her because she wasn’t eating well that one time, Cordy wouldn’t allow herself to repeat the same amateur mistake.Even if Kyle was dead, John lived—and he was far more dangerous than Kyle.As she sat at the dining table, John never once spoke to her and maintained his noble aloofness. Cordy finally looked at the food on the table to see that almost every dish was her favorite.She then remembered that Dicky's tastes were just like hers; therefore this wasn’t the least bit surprising.

Cordy needed peace and quiet.She was convinced she loved Dicky to the point he could do no wrong in her eyes.Now, however, she realized belatedly that she had overestimated herself.Once Cordy left Dicky's room, the first thing she did was take deep breaths—as hard as she could. It took a while for her to finally calm down. After that, she found herself really thirsty.Her throat was dry after a night of teaching pronunciations. She looked up to find John sitting at the living room bar, a laptop in front of him. He was wearing a pair of silver-framed glasses—it was the first time she saw him wearing those, and he certainly looked like a cultured douchebag. He was still typing, but his eyes were on her, so he must have seen what she was doing.Cordy didn’t expect to find him in the living room as well. Didn’t he do work in the study?!"So? Are things going well?" John asked.She could somehow sense his glee. How could he remain so nonchalant when his own son was called

Even so, Cordy still failed to teach Dicky pronunciation that night.Cordy couldn’t bear pushing him anymore, and so let him sleep early. She would come back tomorrow to continue teaching him.Once Dicky got in bed, however, he refused to let her go.She couldn’t turn him down, not with that sad puppy face. Hence, she slept with him.After Dicky fell asleep, his babyish appearance softened her heart. She couldn’t resist leaning in to kiss him on the forehead.She would always be reluctant to part with him.Just as she was about to leave, Dicky suddenly spoke in his sleep. "Cool hwip… Cool whip…"Cordy's heart stung; she wondered if she had been too harsh.She just didn’t want Dicky to be ridiculed by his classmates and teachers, so she never realized that she had put him under so much pressure.Remembering what John had said, she gave Dicky another kiss, feeling slightly guilty about what she had done.She swore to herself she would be more patient tomorrow, and tucked him un

Once Cordy got out of her car, she headed straight to the elevator without looking back once.John smiled faintly at her indifference.She was so hot and cold! Not to mention, she didn’t even thank him for escorting her.-Over the next few days, Cordy would visit John's apartment.Even though she ate dinner before going, Dicky had her eat with him. When she refused, he flashed his sad puppy face and asked if she didn’t like eating with him.Unable to withstand that wounded look, Cordy simply gave up and ate dinner at John’s for the next few days.It certainly didn’t hurt once she got used to it.One day, while they were having a break during their lessons, Dicky suddenly said, "Mommy, my teacher told us that the school's sports meet is this Friday. All the kids’ parents will be there, and I've already registered for sprinting, swimming, high jump, and relay race."Friday? That was three more days.She would probably be free. The instant she saw Dicky’s hopeful gaze, she ag

Cordy was left stunned for several seconds. After that, she collected herself and snapped angrily, "You could’ve said that earlier!"She honestly scared herself, since it almost seemed to be the inevitable conclusion. Did he enjoy teasing her that much? "You never gave me a chance to speak," John said bluntly. Cordy was livid—he had literally made a speech, rambling on and on about his academic achievements! For once, she didn’t get upset with him and left after finishing the rum baba.As usual, John drove his Maybach and followed her all the way back to her apartment.-Another two days passed; Cordy was in Dicky's room, once again teaching the boy pronunciation by separating the syllables. She seemed to hear something outside, but the wall was soundproofed so well that she thought she was simply hearing things. "Lee-id. Lid." Cordy continued to teach Dicky patiently, having become much calmer after finding out about Dicky's IQ score.She had done some reading, and foun

When Jessica heard the door open and turned to see Cordy, her expression betrayed neither anger nor displeasure.In fact, she actually appeared calm. "Oh! You're here too, Miss Sachs? What a coincidence."Cordy was actually left at a loss by Jessica's unexpectedly cordial greeting.Given her family's connections, Jessica probably knew all about Cordy's relationship with John. In fact, Cordy was positive Jessica also knew that Dicky was Cordy’s son. Cordy had no idea if Jessica truly liked John and therefore didn’t mind her presence, or if she was confident that no woman could steal John from her… Or perhaps, her composure was a front for John's sake.Whatever the reason maybe, Cordy's presence was inappropriate given John and Jessica's engagement.And unlike Jessica, Cordy wasn’t that carefree enough to play it off."Dicky's pronunciation is bad, so I'm giving him remedial lessons," she explained flatly. "John told me he’s hiring a private tutor for Dicky for that. So, it's y

John pursed his lips, but he didn’t turn around to reply. Even so, Jessica remained standing behind him."Your grandfather requested me to visit," she explained. "He said it's been a while since I've come to North City, and that he missed me. I went straight to Levine Manor, but he insisted that I come to you. I came because I couldn't refuse—I would’ve called ahead if I had known. I'm sorry I made things so awkward."John swallowed as he turned around to look at her, but he wasn’t angry and didn’t blame her for anything. Despite his guilt, he didn’t have any kind words for her, and merely said bluntly, "Come on, I'll take you back to your hotel."Jessica was disappointed.So, he still refused to let her stay here.Even when they were abroad, he would send her home in the same manner—no matter how late it was, or how many vacant rooms there were at his place.Even after returning to Zidonia, he remained as distant as ever.At first, Jessica used to think that it was because he w

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
