A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 802
Even if Cordy did her best to hide her smile, John could tell immediately. "Did you fall for me early on, but was afraid to confront those feelings because I was being hostile?""I'm not that childish.""Then, are you rejecting me?" John asked, feeling a little uneasy.Instead of answering, Cordy asked, "How are you going to handle your engagement with Nana?""I'll make it clear to her. Don't worry." John was determined. Now, he knew very well that the feelings he had for Nana was based on sympathy; there was zero attraction whatsoever.Why else was he not eager to get it on with Nana? Was that really because he was careful with her?No. In reality, he felt zero impulse for that at all.As for Cordy… He would have her, right here and now!Whoops, his thoughts strayed a little there.However, his expression had clearly changed; Cordy frowned at that strange look on his face.Nonetheless, he composed himself and asked solemnly, "Well, I've told you everything about me. Shou

Cordy laughed dryly—John’s brazen attitude never did change. "Why are you laughing?" John frowned, her laughter upsetting him somewhat."Because you're younger.""You must be overjoyed." John grinned smugly.Cordy smiled, but said nothing."And don't change the subject," John said sternly. "Don't meet Patrick Stuart ever again from now on. It upsets me.""We have a business partnership," she replied.She always kept business and personal affairs separate, and Patrick always had been a gentleman."If we ever were going to be together, we already would have. We certainly wouldn't wait until now," Cordy added bluntly. "Fine, then how about this?" John said, as if suddenly coming to a realization. "Call me whenever you're meeting him, even if it's for business. I'll sit in."Cordy stared at him incredulously. How could he get so petty?"Trade secrets are involved. Having a third party would be inconvenient.""Then I can wait outside while you have your discussion.""Could yo

John went to kiss Cordy right then, but she turned away just as their lips touched.He felt as if something clawed through his heart, but she reminded him, "You're not single yet."John closed his eyes, restraining himself as much as he could.She really knew how to turn him away. With a retort like that, even if he wanted to flip out, there was no way he could do anything out of line towards her.Damn it! She had a leash over him, asserting full control even before they started dating. Nonetheless, he released her.The instant he did, his lips inadvertently brushed against her ear.It was a slight touch, but a jolt of electricity seemed to shoot through his body, and he felt himself turning into jelly…John swallowed, his Adam's apple rolling repeatedly.So this was hell.As he moved a few steps away from Cordy, he saw that her face was red, as if it was bleeding.Even so, he restrained himself and said, "I'll talk to Nana tomorrow and clear up everything.""Yeah.""

Beside Zoe, Candice said, "Looks the same to me." "No way," Zoe said as she checked the script again. "This one is so crude!""Well, how complex did you want it?" Candice laughed. "They gave you a minor role before, and it's paragraphs for you now. What more do you want?"It was just banter—she meant no harm despite the irony in her words.On the other hand, Zoe was frowning as she came to a realization.Could it be…?!She couldn’t help asking, "Could you show me your last script?""Hold on, I think I kept it in my bag…" Candice quickly took it out and showed it to Zoe, while unable to hold back a huge sigh. "See? I had at least two pages' worth of lines last time, but it's been halved! I'm sure I won't even have this much in the next round."Zoe read Candice's script for the last round twice, and finally confirmed her earlier suspicions. Even her script for the last round was different from the rest of the cast; her heart skipped a beat, while she felt a flutter over her ch

That was when Zoe saw Quinn, leaning against her car door while looking at her with glee."When did you come back?" Zoe huffed, trying to make herself look angry."When you were pressing yourself against that geezer for a photo," Quinn replied."He's just a fan," Zoe snorted, but clearly proud.Let her have this moment—it had been years since she felt like this.Quinn simply smiled and returned to her car with Zoe.They headed to an expensive restaurant, running into Bob at the entrance.Cora was not with him, for once.Bob was surprised to see them. "You two are eating here as well?""Yeah." Zoe nodded."Oh! Jay, Sam, and I are having dinner here too. We never did meet up after Sam got out," Bob explained, and eagerly invited them. "Care to join us? This is too good a coincidence to pass up."Zoe presumed that Quinn would say no, so she kept quiet.After all, she couldn’t reject Bob well; their short stint of a relationship left her somehow dwarfed around him these days.

Though their eyes met for just a second, Zoe immediately turned away. Jay also quietly turned away.To make herself appear calm, Zoe told Bob, "Don't even joke about it. You're engaged.""That's exactly why I'd joke about it," Bob grinned, though there seemed to be a slight bitterness in it.Even so, mentioning the engagement did make Zoe feel a little less awkward."Let's drink," Sam suddenly said, raising his glass and clearly not keen on letting the mood be spoiled just like that. "You've been nagging us to drink, but you're not touching your glass when you arrive."Bob was being nice when he brought Zoe and Quinn as well.Zoe picked up her glass of water, which Bob spotted immediately. He exclaimed in disbelief, "You're drinking water, Zoe?!"The girl was an incorrigible alcoholic!"I'll pass since I still have a rehearsal tomorrow." Zoe smiled. "Don't worry, I'll drink as much water as you would alcohol for the night. And pure water, at that.""Isn't that a little weird?"

Remembering how Hailey had yelled at her the last time around, Zoe decided that she must stop drinking immediately.Deciding that she needed to stay sober, she excused herself to the washroom. Unfortunately, she was already tipsy and almost in a state where she wanted to drink more at the moment.Thus, she needed to wash her face and clear her head.It took her a while, but just as she opened the door to leave, she found Jay standing outside.She glanced at him, and then at his cane.So, that was a permanent disability and not a temporary fracture.Jay sensed her stare.So, she knew that he was now a cripple?He swallowed, but said, "Tomorrow's rehearsal has been canceled.""What?" Zoe was a little surprised."Didn't you check the group chat?" Jay asked. "Bob's been making me drink, so I didn't notice. When was it canceled, and why?" Zoe asked curiously as she whipped out her phone.Then, she found the notice that the rehearsal for tomorrow had been called off. Everyone

"You call yourself fat?" Bob found it inconceivable, and grew exceedingly agitated. "Do you even have fat on your body? It hurts to see you so skinny! Hell, I’d like to cut off my flab and give it to you."As Jay slowly returned to his seat, Zoe looked disgusted. "Please don't. I won't survive that.""Look, I'm telling you, Zoe," Bob huffed. "I don't know how things work in showbiz, but I can't take it if you have to become skin and bones just to stay in it.”"You don't have to take it," Zoe retorted, speechless. "As long as the audience likes it.""What, I'm not a part of the audience?""An insignificant part of the audience.""I'll be your No.1 fan, believe it!""Thank you, but you should stick to being Cora Levine's No.1 fan. I don't need the trouble," Zoe said bluntly.Such was the influence of alcohol—she was much more candid now.At that, Bob's expression changed a little.Cora seemed to be a touchy subject around this table, and the mood around the table changed dramat

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
