A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 867
The door opened, and Jay snapped back to reality as he sat up straight on the couch.Zoe brought Yelena out. "Yelena wants to go to the playground for a while."She could not stand Yelena's whining any longer.Since they just moved here, they didn't bring much of Yelena's toys. She gave Yelena her phone to use but Yelena got bored of it after a while and insisted on going downstairs to play.When they were on their way here, Jay mentioned that there was a playground for the children in this district, and Yelena kept it in mind."Okay, I'll bring her there." Jay picked up his walking stick and stood up. "No, you've been running around the whole day. I'll go instead. I can also take Yelena around the neighborhood and get to know our way around," Clara immediately said."Thank you." Jay did not insist on his way.He had done a lot of work today.Of course, most importantly, he wanted to explain everything to Zoe."It's no trouble at all, go be busy. Yelena, come with me to the

Of course, she knew that Cordy was congratulating her on her marriage with Jay."It's not what you think it is," Zoe said. "We were forced by circumstances and it's all very complicated. It's hard to explain everything over the phone. In short, it's a fake marriage and we'll get a divorce after a while."A low chuckle sounded from the other side."You find it outrageous too, don't you? But… I don't seem to have a choice," Zoe said helplessly."I don't find it outrageous," Cordy explained. "I just think you're being wild again.""What do you mean?" Zoe did not really understand."Why would you get a divorce when you finally managed to get married?""I did not 'finally manage to get married'…""I mean for Jay.""You and Quinn are overthinking things." Zoe was flabbergasted. "There's nothing between Jay and me""That's between you husband and wife. There's no need to explain things to us." Cordy chuckled. "I'm just sending my blessings, that's all.""It's all fake, what's there

"It's true," Zoe said indifferently. "Jay and I have been a mistake from the start. No, we never started—everything was just an accident, even our marriage now. Whatever it is, we'll go our separate ways one day.""Not necessarily so."Cordy thought that now that Jay could finally be together with Zoe, even if Zoe did not fancy him, he would never let her go so easily. True love would not give up so easily, especially since they were already together."I can't be bothered to talk more to you." Zoe did not want to say anything further, finding it pointless, anyway.Cordy smiled as she said, "I won't say more, I'll just sit here and wait for good news.""Go on and wait," Zoe said dismissively.Anyway, getting a divorce was good news to her.Cordy did not dwell on the subject further. She said, "Send me a picture of Yelena. I think it'll be tough for me to return anytime soon, and I already can't wait to see what she looks like. We're relatives, after all.""Relatives? Oh, I almos

Clara sighed helplessly.She would just have to contend with the fact that all good things took time.-Zoe went downstairs and searched around for a long time before finding the children's playground.This was a high-end estate, comprehensively equipped with all sorts of facilities.She originally envisioned it to just be a small playground, but she knew she had underestimated it when she saw how large-scale the three-story playground was.It was no wonder that Clara was worried that Jay might not be able to handle Yelena. If she were to run around this huge place, it was very likely that Jay might not be able to catch up with her.Right now, she was unable to spot Yelena. She could only see Jay standing at the side of the playground, focusing on a particular spot.Zoe walked over.She followed Jay's line of sight and saw Yelena climbing up and down the playground like a little monkey."Head back first. I can look after Yelena," Zoe suddenly said.Jay jumped in shock.Zoe

"I just think both Yelena and Dicky are too young to consider marriage." Jay simply came up with a reason, finding it all the more logical after some consideration. "Yelena’s just three! It's far too early to consider that.""It's called planning ahead, get it? Do you think Yelena won't get rivals for a young man as fine as Dicky?" Zoe said seriously, convincing herself further the more she said it.Who knows? Richard Levine might be married by the time Yelena becomes an adult, and she would die regretting that her golden goose was poached to be someone else's son-in-law."No. Yelena's cute, so all the good ones would flock around her anyway," Jay replied solemnly. "And even if she doesn't like them or refuses to marry, she can stay with us forever. That's fine, since I can afford it."Zoe was rendered speechless.Does Jay know that being too nice a father would spoil a daughter? And what was that supposed to mean, that Yelena could stay with them forever?!"What if you die?" Zoe

However, Cordy was unable to smile because her own life was now a mess. It was a miracle that she discovered that John was still alive, yet he ended up as someone else's fiance.Her grandfather also remained in a coma, and the Cranstons’ conflict was never resolved.It was as if nothing would go well for Cordy, and the crushing weight of it all left her suffocating.Even Sean was getting restless—the culprit who poisoned Jesse was still not making a move days after they set their trap. They had nothing that could expose the culprit, and it was all a complete mystery.That was when it occurred to Cordy. "Maybe they’re waiting for Grandpa to actually wake up before doing anything?" Sean's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?""Grandpa's will is favorable to the culprit as long as he stays unconscious," Cordy explained. "All they needed was to stay strong and do nothing, while waiting quietly for the final outcome. He should know all too well that any false moves would expose them."

Seeing that Cordy was silent for a long while, Sean called out to her."Cordy?"Cordy shook her head. "It's my personal problem. I'll handle it."Sean sighed. "I know you will—you’re as rational as you’re smart since I've known you, and there's nothing that can stand in your way. I'm the one who needs your advice in a great many things, but that’s precisely why I think you need someone to depend on. You're isolating yourself. Being too independent means you're also the one who gets hurt the most."Sean earnestly wished that Cordy could let down her guard and really open her heart, so that she didn’t have to live under so much pain.Ultimately said nothing, once again choosing to take everything upon herself. -A week later, Patrick left the capital and Cordy saw him off at the airport.He was actually reluctant to leave, but he was stubborn and kept saying things like he didn’t know when the next time he would have free time, that he would be busy and the like.While Cordy co

Cordy actually wondered when she could let go of the past.Soon, perhaps?After sending off Patrick, she returned to the car Sean arranged for her and returned to Cranston Hall.She didn’t bring Dicky along to the airport since she expected to head back soon after seeing Patrick off, just as she did not want Dicky to have to keep running around with her.She reclined against the backseat, looking up at the blue skies of the capital. Her phone then rang, and she checked the caller before answering it."Have you sent off Patrick Stuart?" Sean asked casually."I just did. I'm on my way back now.""Actually, you should head to the hospital right now," Sean suggested. "I'm rushing there right now—I just released news that Grandpa regained consciousness.""Okay," Cordy agreed."See you later.""Yeah."Hanging up, Cordy told the chauffeur, "The hospital, please.""Okay," the chauffeur replied respectfully.-Most of the Cranstons had reached the hospital when Cordy did, and th

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
