A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 848
Zoe was shocked. She wondered if he had eyes on his back. Why did he notice that she was stealing glances at him?"Come here. Let me tell you something about your script," Jay said. "Okay." Zoe hurriedly walked over. While watching the video replay of their rehearsal today, Jay was comparing their lines. He circled something on the script and paused at the place of her part before he said, "Your emotion here isn't enough, and your line wavers. You should study it well and be careful when you go onstage tomorrow." "Okay." Zoe nodded. Jay was a very attentive director. He could very accurately find the smallest flaw in acting. "Is there anything else?" Zoe asked. "No. Help me get Candice over," Jay uttered. "Hmm," Zoe answered, but she did not leave. "Is there anything else?" Jay fixed his gaze on the screen without looking at Zoe. "I didn't send the voice message last night," Zoe explained. After that, she panicked even more. If she claimed that she was not

Zoe did not know how Quinn had found her house.She never told Quinn about her home address after such a long time because she did not want them to find out about Yelena. However, she did not intentionally hide it from them.She just knew very well that they would ask about who Yelena's father was when they learned about Yelena's existence. Even if she did not tell them who Yelena's father was, they would guess the truth. After that, it would become very troublesome. She just wanted to raise Yelena alone. Yet, she still opened the door. She was afraid that Quinn would consciously go against the law even though Quinn was the lawyer and would break open her door if she refused to open the door. "Zoe, why are you avoiding me?" Quinn's face was flushed because of anger."No, I'm not." Zoe averted Quinn's gaze. Zoe was not very good at lying, especially to the important people around her. She could not make up white lies. "Why didn't you pick up my calls or read my WhatsApp m

The two of them walked into Zoe's bedroom. "Just ask me whatever you want to ask." Zoe did not want to keep it a secret any longer. She found it quite exhaustive to hide it from others. Coincidentally, the mass media exposed it, so she might as well let it all go to hell. "It's Jay's, right?" Quinn went straight to the point. Zoe was still slightly surprised. Although she knew that both Quinn and Cordy would be able to guess it, they did not seem to doubt that Yelena was Bob's child. "Did you hide because you gave birth to his child?" Quinn narrowed her eyes slightly. "No." Zoe immediately denied that. "I thought of leaving before I confirmed that I was pregnant because I was very sad at that time. I felt that North City hurt me too much.""Is Jay that kind of irresponsible person?" Quinn asked. "Didn't he try to keep you?" "Keep?" Zoe sneered. She waited for Jay for a day, but at last, he did not even call her. Forget it. It was just an accident. If it were

Zoe was speechless.Jay's name just had to keep popping up.Was she unable to survive without him?If Jay really wanted to take responsibility, he would already have done so. He did not need to bury his head in the sand and pretend he did not know anything."He won't take responsibility for this. It's that simple." Zoe did not want to explain any further.It would just be a waste of breath.Quinn wanted to say more but someone suddenly knocked on the door.Clara opened the door and poked her head in. "Zoe, Jay is here."Zoe was stunned.The look on Quinn's eyes clearly said, 'I told you so. I know Jay Parker isn't like what you described him to be.'"What are you doing just standing there? Go out and discuss with Jay how to deal with the news," Quinn urged.Zoe pursed her lips.She eventually walked out of the room with Quinn.Jay was carrying Yelena in the living room.Yelena wrapped herself around Jay as she said, "Daddy, are you here to bring me out to play? But Mommy

A classic doting father, no doubt.Jay finally managed to put Yelena down and then said to Zoe, "I came here to discuss with you how we should deal with news about Yelena.""When did you find out about her?" Zoe went straight to the point.If she still could see how close Yelena and Jay were, she would truly be foolish."The night when you were drunk and I sent you home," Jay said."Did you do a DNA test?" Zoe's face fell."I didn't." Zoe raised her brows."There's no need to," Jay added."You're so sure she's yours?" Zoe smirked."I'm not sure, but… I don't care even if she's not," Jay said.Zoe stared at him."Let's discuss the solution to the problem." Jay suddenly changed the topic.Zoe agreed that they should just cut to the chase.They sat on the couch. Clara carried Yelena to her room to play, giving them the space they needed."We have three possible solutions. One, deny that Yelena is your biological daughter. You can say that she is your relative's or friend

"Since you're willing to sacrifice yourself to suppress the news, why don't you expose another scandal of your own like the last time and help cover up my news?" Zoe said coldly.Quinn thought she must have heard Zoe wrongly.Wasn't that being too harsh on Jay?!How could Zoe be capable of something like that? This woman had no compassion whatsoever.Jay had already compromised so much, yet she was still not satisfied.Who did she think she was?! Quinn scolded Zoe in her heart countless times over, but on account of Zoe being her good friend, she could not bring herself to scold Zoe outright.She was that… biased.She simply looked at Jay turning quiet.Quinn felt rather nervous as she chanted in her heart for Jay not to agree to Zoe's request.Otherwise, it would be harder for him to pursue Zoe.She saw this as the golden opportunity to tie the two of them together, never to be parted again.Everyone could see how much importance Zoe placed on her career in showbiz."N

Thankfully, Zoe did not remain stubborn.Sometimes, Zoe's stubbornness made her capable of doing anything."Sure." Jay nodded."Firstly, the marriage is fake and just for the media. After the dust settles, we will get a divorce."Jay pursed his lips and nodded.He did not dare to disagree with her request.If he did not, she would probably reject his solution.The only thing he could do was to seize the chance to spend more time with her during this period."Secondly, even after we get a marriage certificate, we will not stay together. You will stay at your place and I'll continue staying…""No way." Jay rejected her outright.Zoe stared at him."After announcing that we secretly got married, the media will surely stalk us. If they realize that we aren't staying together, what would they make of it? That we divorced? Or that we're faking it?""I won't do anything to you," Jay said solemnly. "Even though we'll be in the same house, we'll sleep separately.""Of course that g

After they registered their marriage and received their marriage certificate, the three of them returned to Quinn's car.Quinn turned out to be the happiest of the three of them—at least on the surface.A smile hung on her lips as she asked, "Where are you two newly-weds planning to go? Are you going back?" Zoe glared at Quinn.She was not the one who got married. What was she so excited about? "Let's return to Zoe's apartment since Yelena is still there. She can take the chance to pack her bag…" Jay's voice gradually faded away.He was clearly scared that Zoe might get angry. And she was quite angry.Somehow, she could not shake the feeling that she had been taken for a fool. Yet, upon deeper thought, what could Jay get from fooling her? He was just trying to help her solve her problem.They drove back to Zoe's apartment.Yelena was slightly miffed.Because they did not tell her before heading out, she thought that her daddy had abandoned her, and she was sobbing mis

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
