A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 385
Quinn was left staring at Ryan, unable to react.He continued to explain, "My superiors also arranged it so that I could stay at North City indefinitely, so I won't be going abroad. I might be traveling to the headquarters in the capital occasionally, though.""That's good. You'd be working close from home," Quinn replied with a small smile."I…""It's late, Ryan. Get some rest," she said softly. "...Okay," Ryan murmured, refraining from saying what he intended to say. Quinn returned to her bed, but she couldn’t sleep despite her fatigue.All sorts of messy thoughts would appear in her mind even if she closed her eyes, leaving her annoyed. She hence stared at the ceiling until daybreak, and washed up to go to work like she usually did.The rest of the family were at the dining table and having breakfast. Syd Collins, the girl Ryan had brought along was, there with them, but Sam wasn’t since he usually woke up past noon. "I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought

[What?!]Quinn could feel Zoe’s surprise even from the other end.There was a long pause before Zoe added: [You're not really sucking up to that dirtbag, are you?][Not entirely.][That's better.][His parents want us to have a child.][…That's why you're trying to suit his tastes?][The Saunders have always been nice to me.][Really?!] Zoe was speechless, but Quinn did not bother to explain. She was just convinced that if she could accept it, resistance was unnecessary.Still, Zoe suddenly changed the subject. [I heard from Bob that Ryan's back.]Quinn replied: [Yeah. He just touched down yesterday and attended Sam's birthday.][And you…][I'm over him. I'm not lying. Sure, I'd feel the occasional emotion, but time really seems to mend everything. There are times when I feel stressed, but I'm somehow very calm when I face him directly.][Does time really change everything?]Zoe's question was posed to Quinn as much as to herself. Quinn replied earnestly: [Well, that'

In the four-man chat group, Bob suddenly sent a text that read: [Why did my girlfriend do this…]He went into elaborate detail, but deleted it in less than text seconds—he was going to send it to Sam, but his fingers slipped!Sam saw it anyway, and promptly replied in the chat group: [What's the point of deleting it, Bob? I already saw it.]Bob didn’t reply, and instead added: [And what else could the point be? To scorn you.] He even pinged Bob multiple times, leaving Bob speechless.Bob in turn texted Sam privately: [It's just a mistake! Could you stop spamming the chat group?!][Oh, so you just wanted to save face?]Speechless, Bob decided to admit: [It's just…things haven't gone that far with me and my girlfriend.][For real?! No way! What are you, a virgin? You're an adult—not a high-schooler!][You don't understand our love. Do you think everyone thinks with their balls like you?][The point is she's hinting at you to get to it, you monster.][You told me that chicks h

It hurt, but it somehow seemed more than that."You can sleep with me all you want. Like, right now," Sam said, deliberately harassing Quinn. After all, he was sick of how she was always so stiff around him. Quinn was naturally scowling, upset with his perverted tendencies. She wanted nothing more than to slap him across the face. The man certainly deserved every insult Zoe had ever thrown at him.Quinn took a deep breath and told herself to calm down…and that was when the door suddenly opened, wide."Quinn…oh!" Syd yelped when she saw Quinn on Sam's lap, and Ryan was standing right behind her.Quinn quickly sprang to her feet, surprised by the sudden intrusion.Sam's fingers were twitching, but he was otherwise much calmer than Quinn. Looking up at the pair standing at the doorway, he said, "There's nothing surprising about a married couple getting frisky."However, Quinn felt thoroughly embarrassed even as she stood beside Sam. She was supposed to be a lawyer, and her

Quinn’s tears trickled down her cheeks and landed gently on the floor. She didn’t remember how long it had been since she cried—she had become accepting of many things as she aged.That was certainly the case when she remained nonchalant, despite Sam throwing her out of his room.But at that very moment, the sense of humiliation cut her to the quick; she was overwhelmed endlessly by the disgrace and denial of dignity.She really, really hated Sam… She hated him ever since they were children! -Jay was woken up by a call, asking to confirm a filming session later that day.His career hadn’t been affected much despite his departure from the Levine family—they were certainly much nicer to him than Zoe ever was.Still, he couldn’t fall asleep after being woken, and he felt a throbbing headache that hurt terribly.Alcohol was terrible. Period. It couldn't even help you forget your pain. In fact, it made the agony worse! He lay in bed and checked the group chat, and saw Bob an

Jay watched as Zoe headed to the distance, and smiled wistfully.It seemed he was the only one who couldn’t get over the past.As he rose to his feet, his whole body seemed frozen stiff.He thought about leaving, but for some reason, he was following Zoe instead, keeping a distance between them as he did.It was very cold and very late, so there weren’t many others on the streets. Zoe was alone…so it was dangerous for her. Zoe didn’t notice she was being followed, since her only thought was to have her apple pie and head back.Soon, she arrived at the stall and made an order. The owner asked her, "Your boyfriend's not with you today?""He's busy," she replied, keeping her head lowered.Even if she was canceled, she was still a public figure. Thus, she didn’t want to be recognized. "You know, your boyfriend’s really nice," the owner chuckled. "He came by this one time, and was worried it'd get cold before he got home, so he kept it under his clothes. Surely you know how hot

Fortunately, Jay only had flesh wounds. The car was stopped in time, and the collision was slight. He had bled a lot on the ground, but his vitals were fine. However, his doctor insisted he stay the night at the hospital for observation.Having issued his instructions, the doctor left, leaving just Jay and Zoe alone.Zoe placed all the bills, papers and medication on top of his bedside drawer, saying, "These are your receipts for admittance, and some of the medicine you need to take and apply. Also, your phone’s broken." Jay stared at her then, with a distant and estranged gaze."Do you want to borrow my phone to call the Levines?" Zoe asked, holding out her phone to him."No," he said, shaking his head.Zoe didn’t push him either, since he never liked to bother the Levines. After all, he had to keep up his appearance to not cause them trouble. "Do you need a care worker?" Zoe asked.Jay refused. "No. It's not that serious.""Okay," Zoe nodded. "I'm leaving if there's noth

Throughout the entire month, Cordy never met John, or received his call or text.Naturally, she was expecting none of that either.She had actually been busy as the Startstream High Fashion made a relatively easy venture into the market and drew plenty of attention. Their sales were rising by the day, and Starstream Group's stock market value was in turn increasing like clockwork, catching up and even surpassing many other elite enterprises of North City. Naturally, they still had a long way from the top since those were legacies forged over multiple generations.But one way or another, her rise was meteoric, and most amongst business circles touted her as the finest dark horse over the last decade.However, she also knew all too well that the widespread acclaim was nothing good.She always understood the principle that too much attention was never good, and even had a suspicion of a certain someone deliberately dragging her to the spotlight. Naturally, she had to play along sin
