Cordy told Dicky, "I'll confirm the time with Nancy once I come home.""Okay, Mommy. I'm done eating—I'm going to school now.""I'll drive you," Cordy said, putting down her knife and fork.Dicky frowned. "Shouldn't you get some rest? You drank a lot last night.""I don't feel anything since I've had honey and warm milk," Cordy smiled. "All thanks to my baby."Dicky blushed a little—it had been years, but there was no changing that shyness.How was he going to date girls when he got older?Cordy sent him to school, and felt a little emotional as she watched Dicky enter the school with his towering frame. She thought it had been a while since she saw her shrink, and had her chauffeur take her to the private clinic."Cordy," Jim Brown, her personal shrink, greeted her warmly. "You've actually made time to visit."Cordy smiled, but said flatly, "My insomnia's been getting worse.""Come on in."Jim led Cordy into this office. It was a homely room, giving anyone a sense of co

"Did you sleep well?" Jim only spoke to Cordy when he saw her woke up, and mildly at that. "Quite," Cordy stretched her back—she always came to unwind when she felt like collapsing. "I'll be going now.""Okay." Jim walked her to the door, when he smiled and said, "You really should consider my suggestion.""Yeah," Cordy replied half-heartedly.Returning to her car, she whipped out her phone which she put on mute. She saw several missed-calls, but ignored them and called Randy instead. "I'm going to the airport right now. Bring my luggage over.""Yes, ma'am."Cordy lowered her phone and stared at the view outside.Start dating again? Easy for him to say!-When Cordy disembarked from her private jet at the capital, Sean was already waiting at the airport. He led her to his car, and took her straight to the venue for the fashion show—they really were short on time.Still, he didn’t say anything, and instead asked, "When do you plan to go back?" "That depends on your ar

A familiar voice suddenly called behind her. "Cordy?"However, Cordy seemed not to hear him. All she could see was that familiar figure, almost disappearing into the crowd…"What's gotten into you, Cordy?" She suddenly felt someone gripping her arm firmly, and bellowed furiously, "Let me go!"Patrick was stunned by her outburst. As he released her, he asked, "What's wrong?"Cordy turned to look, but that familiar figure was already gone.She looked around. The changing room was very spacious, but there was no finding that person with the countless fashion models all staying in the same place.Were her eyes playing tricks on her? But that split second felt so real!“What are you staring at? Were you looking for someone?” Patrick asked her.However, Cordy bit her lip and said nothing.“Who was it you’re looking for? You’re acting strange, Cordy.” Patrick studied her, his eyes showing a hint of worry. It had been a while since she behaved like this, too—he was under the imp

The authorities showed William Stuart one last gesture of respect by not punishing him. However, all Stuart Holdings assets were legally seized and liquidated to reimburse the victims, after which William was exiled abroad; to the masses, his departure was dressed up as retiring. And once William was gone, Monty Stuart's side of the family took over.They did not need Stuart Holdings, since their partnership with Cordy already provided them with plenty of financial freedom. As for politics, Monty always retained a place in the hierarchy, which shielded him from William's scandal. After three years of augmenting, the Stuarts remained one of the four top families in the nation.However, with Patrick being the heir and constantly active in politics, how did he spare the time to get involved with fashion?"I'm your partner, and your business is fashion. That makes me half-involved," Patrick said, as if it made perfect sense.Cordy sighed. "Fine. You win.""For you," Patrick said,

Cora appeared from behind just then, having changed dresses and put on makeup."Cordy," she greeted Cordy, always respectful and warm.However, Cordy remained distant towards her as she always had been, because of Zoe.Come to think of it, it had been three years since she had seen Zoe. Zoe never contacted Quinn or Cordy ever since she went missing, and they had no idea where she was.How was she doing nowadays?"My mom was just saying you should bring Dicky over for dinner," Cora continued, used to Cordy's distant attitude by now."I will, once I return to North City and have the time," Cordy replied. "I've missed Dicky myself. Did he come here with you?" Cora asked."No, he's still at school.""I've almost forgotten." Cora laughed."Don't let me keep you. I'm going back outside," Cordy said, ending the awkward exchange."Okay." Cora nodded."Let's go together," Bob told Cordy, before turning towards Cora. "I'll be watching outside.""Yeah," Cora replied.As Bob left

The lights on the stage dimmed, while the lights on the catwalk shone dazzlingly.Fashion models started to file in on the catwalk; there were endless camera flashes around, photographing them.Cordy was watching the fashion show with utmost seriousness, since Maron never disappointed as a world-famous designer. The fashion models were world-famous as well, so much so that even someone like Cora wouldn’t shine if she took to the catwalk.However, she was still one of the nation's elites; thus, her appearance at the scene naturally drew much media attention. In fact, there was a slight unrest when she stepped out.Jay arrived just then and sat down next to Bob, who held his arm and asked, "What kept you?""The flight was delayed." Jay panted slightly."You're just in time—Cora's up." Bob gestured at the catwalk.Jay nodded in acknowledgement, and Bob asked, "She said she'll be filming a movie with you next month?""Yeah," Jay replied. "Shooting’s going to take a couple of mo

"Could you please keep it down?"Before Jay could reply, someone behind Bob reprimanded Bob; clearly, their conversation was affecting the person watching the fashion show.Bob bit his lip and restrained himself despite his frustration. Jay said nothing in turn, and kept his eyes on the fashion show as if the mention of Zoe didn’t faze him the slightest.Up front, Cordy was still watching the fashion show seriously until a certain male model stepped up to the catwalk halfway through.All eyes in the room seemed to lit up as they focused on his towering, handsome frame and his sharp gaze.There were many international supermodels in attendance, yet that unfamiliar face stood out nevertheless.Cordy seemed to hear gasps from all the ladies sitting around her, and the crowd seemed to have grown somewhat restless again.Countless shutters flashed as everyone took photos of the male supermodel. "He does look good—even from a man's perspective," Patrick commented.He usually had

At the same time, Sean whipped out his phone and barked orders into it. "Find out everything you can on the male model who just left the catwalk.""Yes, Mr. Cranston.""And arrange for people to watch him. Don’t let him out of your sight.""Understood, sir."Sean put away his phone, then told Cordy, "We can talk after we look into him."Cordy bit her lip as she worked hard to control herself.She was worried that the higher her hopes, the greater the disappointment—she might even suffer a nervous breakdown because of this. Even as she remained in her seat, she was unable to watch the rest of the fashion show. All she could think about was that male supermodel. She was simply unable to forget that exceedingly familiar figure.After over half an hour, Sean told Cordy, "I've sent his dossier to your phone. Check it yourself."Cordy's heart skipped a beat and started racing, but she was afraid of reading it."Check it out so you can give up," Sean urged.Cordy bit her lip once

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
