A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 927
The director then turned to Jay. "What about you, Jay?"Zoe turned away from Bob by then—she was actually a little curious as to when Jay popped his cherry too.Eighteen? Twenty-three? Or maybe earlier?!Hell, he probably would not remember.And yet, at the very next second, Jay answered calmly, "The same day as her."Everyone was left stunned by his answer, let alone Zoe.Zoe was already twenty-five at the time, and it almost seemed implausible for someone in showbiz to stay chaste that long. However, she never did get caught in any scandals and it was believable.But Jay was already thirty at the time!He had to know that with so many people here bearing witness, this was inevitably going to make the final cut.He definitely would not go so far as to lie in this situation! Jay clearly saw the surprise on everyone's faces too and explained nonchalantly, "Can't help it. I chose to restrain myself after I decided to wait for a certain person.""Does that mean you'd fallen in

And since Jay could get hard, why was she the only woman he had been with after so many years?He certainly was not in love with her—at least not in the past, or he would not have kept rejecting her advances."Would you like to know more?" Jay asked, clearly noticing her confusion."Nope," Zoe refused.While Jay pursed his lips in turn, Zoe said coolly, "Your past has nothing to do with me.""Yeah," Jay replied—there was no erasing how much he had hurt her in the past, nor did he deserve her forgiveness.Nonetheless, he said, "My future will be in your hands."Zoe was at a little lost for words, genuinely feeling that Jay had changed so much she did not know him at all now.Was this all thanks to Yelena?-Over at the capital, Cordy and Sean were getting restless because their quarry was not making a move at all.Sean began to have doubts about their plans too."Maybe it's not easy to make a move in the hospital? To be fair, no one can do anything with all the cameras watch

Sean no longer hesitated at that point and did as Cordy suggested, summoning every Cranston to gather outside the ICU unit where 'Jesse' stayed.Then, he announced, "Grandfather is getting discharged in half an hour. We've called you here today to see him off.""You're telling us now?! You could have told us earlier." Paul was obviously upset."What's the difference if we'd told you earlier or now?" Sean asked. "Do you have some special preparations in mind?""What preparations can I manage?!" Paul snapped in annoyance. "You weren't this impulsive before, Sean—don't you remember how you've always planned and considered everything before deciding? Why do I have this feeling that you changed too much after you became chummy with Cordy?"Cordy turned toward Paul then—the man never liked her, and it did not sit well with him that Jesse had been spoiling her ever since she was brought back to the Cranstons. In fact, she first suspected Paul to be the one who poisoned Jesse, but now,

Paul was starting to get furious and was unable to sit still. "Why isn't Fred back yet? Where the hell did he go?""Should I go check?" Linus—Paul's son—asked."Just call him. Going in and out would just irritate us more," Paul told him.Linus promptly whipped out his phone to call Fred. "Fred, Dad's asking how much longer the checkup would take. And why aren't you coming back?""Stomach ache. I needed the restroom," Fred replied. "I'm coming back soon.""How's Grandfather?""Sean said he'll be done soon and told everyone to rest easy.""Okay."Linus hung up, and relayed Fred's message to everyone.Paul rose to his feet impatiently right then. "I need a cigarette.""I'm coming with you." Linus followed him to the smoking area, although it was just one glass door between them and the VIP lounge.Cordy texted Sean again at that: [Uncle Paul and Linus are in the smoking area. Neither are making phone calls.]Sean replied: [Got it.]And with that, everyone waited for ninety mi

Sean turned off the recording and said, "Right now, the situation is that no Cranston has exposed themselves. Either the culprit was calm, smart, and even capable of predicting our every move to stay calm, or…"Pausing, he held Cordy's gaze and said, "Or, all our theories before were wrong. The culprit is not a Cranston."Cordy's eyes narrowed, but she had to admit that she was thinking that they had been suspecting the wrong people from the start. "So? Which do you think it is?" Sean asked.Cordy shook his head, unable to offer Sean a solid opinion.Sean did not press her either.The car drove on quietly, until the chauffeur suddenly jammed his foot on the brakes!Everyone in the car—Sean, Cordy, 'Jesse', and Richard were all caught by surprise."What's going on?!" Sean promptly asked."There's this bike that came from the opposite direction," the chauffeur quickly replied. "We almost crashed—""Eyes front!" Sean barked at him suddenly, and the chauffeur saw it too—a car bo

At the next instant, 'Jesse' had opened the door and started to throw up all over the ground.The cars of the other Cranstons also arrived at the grounds of the manor as well.Since they had been sticking together, they naturally noticed the cars that were chasing Sean's.Everyone was worried as they alighted when they saw 'Jesse' vomiting so miserably and hurried to him in concern.Paul was even snapping at Sean already. "Aren't you going to help your grandfather when he's like this—"He trailed off as 'Jesse' could not help looking up just then.And no matter how much he resembled the real Jesse, he was obviously not the man."Who is he?!" Paul bellowed loudly, while the others were left stunned by the man too.'Jesse' then turned toward Sean just then, who decided to show his hand. "He's a paid actor.""What?!" Paul was incensed. "Were you f*cking with us, Sean?!""Everything I did, I did to expose the culprit trying to hurt Grandfather," Sean calmly replied.Paul snorted
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 933
Paul, however, was not taking Cordy's words to heart. "I'm not about to buy into your tall tales.""Uncle Paul," Sean said sternly then. "You can doubt us, but just don't impede us. Cordy and I have decided to come clean because we're family—we can work as one instead of pointing fingers. It's obvious that someone is out to hurt Grandfather, and if we don't find them, our whole family will be in danger. And we shouldn't end up falling because of this."Seeing that Sean had put it that way, Paul knew that he could not stay stubborn, though he was still a little miffed and snapped, "Well, what you say goes now in the family since Dad trusts you so much. But I'm putting it out there first—don't expect us to wipe your butt if you mess up. I'm too old for your nonsense.""Don't worry, Uncle Paul. Just back us up, and you don't have to worry about anything.""Well, I'm not bothered," Paul huffed and left with his family, while the others returned inside Cranston Hall.Sean had 'Jesse' s

"Don't you think the Lynds would set a trap at John and Nana's wedding?" Cordy asked.Sean realized with a start and quickly said, "That's definitely a perfect chance."Cordy, however, turned silent, and Sean frowned.Realizing why in an instant, he asked, "You want to stop the wedding?""Yeah." She never hid anything from Sean."That begs the question, can you stop it?" Sean asked.Cordy's face fell, while Sean made himself very clear. "I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but given current circumstances, you have no chance of beating Nana.""But what if I do?" Cordy asked."Then we'll just have to wait for opportunities," Sean said with understanding.In other words, if she could stop the wedding, she would have his blessing."Don't you dare regret it." Cordy smiled."I won't," Sean replied. "I've been wanting John Levine on my side early on." "I know.""He told you?""Yeah." Cordy nodded."He really told you everything, huh?" "He loved me to bits.""That's in 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
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1511
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
