"But I think that Lucas has feelings for you," Richard said firmly. "He likes you.""Then all the more we should keep our distance," Cordy said with determination in her voice. "The worst thing we can do is to break a couple apart. Dicky, you must always remember, never be a third party in someone else's relationship!""We aren't the third party, Nana is the third party!" Richard said adamantly.Richard typically would not use that tone on her.He had always been obedient to her, but he was unusually stubborn and strong-headed today.Did Richard think that Cordy felt wronged by Nana today?She did not feel wronged.Firstly, although Nana did frame her, she did not feel like she was disadvantaged at all during the incident today. Conversely, Nana's malicious actions created a rift between her and Lucas.Secondly, Nana was not an important figure at all to Cordy, and Cordy did not take Nana and what she did to heart."Dicky…""Lucas really is my daddy," Richard said out loud, n

He was beginning to pine for a family.Should she seriously consider finding Richard another daddy?But…Aside from John, could she find it in herself to accept another man?Patrick Stuart?Cordy found it difficult to imagine living with another person.-In the afternoon, Sean came to the hotel and had a meal with Cordy and Richard.Richard was sluggish throughout the entire meal, and he looked listless and lethargic even as he walked to the buffet line for some desserts.Sean looked at Richard, who had his back facing him, and asked, "What's with Dicky? Is he not used to living in the capital? Since things are stabilizing with Grandpa, shall I send someone to bring Dicky out for a stroll?""No," Cordy said. "Dicky has something on his mind.""Relationship issues?" Sean's eyes widened in shock.Cordy was dumbfounded. "He's just ten!""That scared me for a moment." Sean chuckled at his overreaction."Little boys have their own troubles, too," Cordy remarked helplessly."

Cordy looked straight into Sean's eyes.Sean smiled helplessly. "What, are you suspecting me?""How can I not?" Cordy said solemnly.Cordy went through all the possibilities in her head and found Sean to be the prime suspect.He was currently staying with the Cranstons in the room that was closest to Jesse's room. His word held power in the Cranston family and the servants in the family heeded his command. It was easy for him to bribe a couple of them."Of course you can," Sean said nonchalantly.But on second thought, Cordy did not think that it was Sean.It was not that she was afraid that he was a thief posing as a judge, but rather, she realized he did not have a motive to harm Jesse. From what she heard, Jesse had written his will long ago. It would not be a surprise for him to suddenly pass away given his power and status and that he was advanced in years. So he made preparations early such that everything was set in stone when he died.That left her with only one other

Many people in the audience were moved to tears.The judges gave their comments after their performance ended.As usual, Hailey Zimmerman was the first one to speak, and she did so in her typical solemn manner. "Under Director Parker's guidance, I see a marked improvement in everyone's performance. Your team was in a mess previously, but your teamwork shone through this performance, and it moved me." All the actors were so elated hearing Hailey's comments that they bowed profusely in gratitude.Hailey went on, "Amid the excellent condition that everyone was in, some of you really surprised me. Of course, it's not to say that the rest were not good, but it's just that these few stood out, such as Candice and Shanice who have improved by leaps and bounds. Continue to work hard.""Thank you, Ms. Zimmerman," Candice and Shanice expressed their gratitude for having their hard work recognized."Everyone else did great, too. Keep up the good work." Hailey rounded off with some pleasant

After she was done with work, Zoe swiftly removed her makeup.Today was Yelena's third birthday, and she had promised to celebrate it with Yelena.Thankfully, filming began in the afternoon and it ended at night.Although it was slightly late, she would not miss the appointment."Congratulations, Zoe!" Candice said, "I didn't think that you'd rank third in this round. I was still worried that the role was so minor that you might be forgotten. Indeed, there are no lousy roles, only lousy actors.""Congratulations to you too, for coming out second. You really deserve it." Zoe congratulated Candice perfunctorily."Are you in a rush?" Candice saw Zoe hurriedly packing her things and asked. "I was talking about celebrating our win last night with Director Parker and thanking him with a meal.""Tonight? I can't make it tonight, I already have an appointment." Zoe rejected Candice without a second thought."You really can't go?""I really can't.""Who are you meeting that's so impor

Yelena sported a bob and baby fat remained on her adorable face. Her eyes were large and round and her skin was fair. She was bound to grow up as a beauty.She slumped over the table listlessly, her face splat on the tablecloth.Of course, Zoe knew that Yelena was like that because she was late. Yelena was angry and disappointed.She hastened her footsteps and walked toward Yelena."Mommy!" The moment Yelena saw Zoe, her posture transformed completely.Her entire demeanor brightened up, and even her eyes shone in the night.She reached out her stumpy little arms and hugged Zoe as best as she could. "Mommy, you're finally here.""I'm sorry for being late.""It's all right," Yelena said forgivingly in her sweet voice. "Granny said that although it is my birthday today, it was also a very difficult day for Mommy. Mommy gave birth to me on that day and suffered much pain. So we'll celebrate my birthday today, as well as what Mommy did."Zoe felt warmth creep up her heart at Yelena

From a second glance, the girl appeared a little familiar. However, Jay couldn’t quite remember where he had seen her. She was wearing a little pink dress, and her face was exceedingly beautiful. He had met many child actors in showbiz, but this was the first time he was seeing one as beautiful as this girl. She was so lovely, a single glance was enough for him to tailor a role for her."Daddy?"Yelena called out to him again since he wasn’t responding. Jay smiled, dropping to a crouch before her.Even if it was inconvenient to do so with the cane, he did his best to maintain level height with the girl. He asked gently, "Were you calling me, little girl?""Yes." Yelena nodded tamely, and threw herself into his arms.Jay's entire body stiffened as he felt a sensation he couldn’t quite describe…and his chest somehow grew warm.He gently pushed her away nonetheless; at that, she leveled her round eyes at him with a wounded look. "You don't like me, Daddy? Is that why you push me

Zoe frowned. When did she ever point out someone on television and tell Yelena exactly who her father was?"I'll show you, Mommy." Yelena gave up on explaining, feeling the urgency to take her mommy to see her daddy.Zoe was being pulled along by the girl, almost taken into the men's room. Before things could escalate, she hurriedly scooped Yelena up in her arms. "Yelena, sweetie, girls don't go into the men's room.""But Daddy's inside…""You don't have a daddy," Zoe explained feebly as she carried Yelena away."Everyone in the kindergarten has a daddy. Why not me?" Yelena asked."...You had one. He just died early," Zoe lied."But I just saw him!" Yelena furrowed her little brows, looking a little angry.Zoe said nothing, and brought Yelena back to her highchair. She simply considered it a sudden fantasy of Yelena's, since a three-year-old would occasionally have her head in the clouds.Even so, Yelena refused to let it go. Seeing that her mommy doubted her, she told her g

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
