A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 853
"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

Of course, he knew that Zoe was prepared to move back anytime, so she did not want to pack too many things which would be troublesome for her.After they were all done packing, Jay called for a van for the luggage before leaving with Zoe and the rest.Quinn knew how to take a hint.It was now their 'family' time and she should not be interrupting them, so she made up an excuse and left.The 'family' sat in a sedan, and things were not as awkward as expected in the car.Yelena was bright and lively as she chattered non-stop. The car was filled with her voice and Zoe even found it slightly noisy.They soon arrived at Jay's single-story bungalow.Yelena was so excited as she walked into it. "Daddy, your house is huge and I love it! Wow, the glass windows are so huge, I can see so far away. Daddy, I love your house. Can I come here frequently?""You'll stay here from now on, Yelena." Jay caressed her head dotingly."Really?""Not really." Zoe doused a bucket of cold water on Yele

"What do you usually like to eat?" Clara asked Jay.Since she was planning to cook for everyone, she had to cater to everyone's taste buds."I'm not picky, I eat almost anything. I'll eat whatever you guys eat. Sometimes I'll be quite busy and won't have many chances to come home for dinner," Jay said."Is there anything you don't like in particular, such as specific condiments or something? I'll take note when I cook.""None at all.""Okay." Clara nodded and could not help but tease, "It's pretty easy cooking for you, then, unlike Zoe and Yelena who are so picky.""Zoe has been picky since young."Jay smiled as he started chatting with Clara."Yelena is just like Zoe, a very picky eater. She doesn't enjoy eating and is as skinny as a skeleton," Clara exclaimed exaggeratedly."It's not too good for children to grow too fat either. Yelena is just nice like that." Zoe really did not want to join in the conversation but she could not hold herself back. "She should still gain so

They looked like they were in a couple’s outfit.After both of them were dressed and ready, they sat in a car and drove to the venue of the press conference.Representatives from hundreds of news outlets were cramped in the venue and there were people everywhere.This was the first time since Zoe fell from her A-list status that she felt so 'popular' on such a large scale.She was beginning to wonder if news of Yelena being exposed was a blessing in disguise.Zoe held Jay's arm and entered the room.Jay hobbled in on his walking stick, making it look as if Zoe was supporting him.Everyone was shocked to see Jay in the room. Why was he here at Zoe's press conference?Of course, the media knew that Jay and Zoe were both on Actors on Set, and Jay was Zoe's mentor.But even so, was there a need for her mentor to appear in person?Since when did Jay put in so much effort for his celebrities?Jay did appreciate Zoe's acting skills in the program, and Zoe did not disappoint him.

Jay paused for a while before going on, saying, "Our daughter is now three years old and is more independent right now, which is why I encouraged Zoe to pursue her dreams again and accept the director's invitation to join Actors on Set. Of course, the production team did not know about our relationship when they invited us and I selfishly did not inform the director. I did it in hopes of bringing Zoe back into the public spotlight through this platform, giving her the leverage she needed to return to her glorious past. She has sacrificed too much for me over the past few years.""I hereby sincerely apologize for taking up so much public resources because of things between Zoe and I. I would also like to take this chance to apologize to all staff members of Actors on Set for not being honest about my relationship with Zoe to the production team because of my selfish intentions. The production team invited both Zoe and me to the program without any prior awareness of our relationship, a

"In that case, Mr. Parker, did you let Zoe go through the back door during this program? Zoe was criticized heavily at the start, yet there has been a huge rise in her popularity now.""Everyone is welcome to look back on the previous two episodes. I can beat my chest and say proudly that I did not do so, and Zoe's achievements to date are a result of her pure hard work," Jay said affirmatively. He even threatened jokingly, "Please don't frame me, Zoe won't allow me to open the back door for her. Do you want me to end up sleeping on the couch tonight?! Don't make up groundless accusations, all right?"The reporters laughed out loud.They have never seen such a friendly side to Jay.He was good-natured, but he would never crack jokes.It was indeed true that men would behave differently in front of their wives."How did you feel when Zoe was criticized severely at the start?" another reporter asked."I can only say that my heart ached for her.""Did you consider asking Zoe to wi

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
