John stayed beside her, feeling that it was a quiet and peaceful life.

He thought of how nice it would be if they could grow old that way...

Nestling on the sofa, Cordy dozed off in a daze.

When John looked over, he found her small frame curled up on the sofa, and she was breathing evenly.

Hence, he smiled helplessly.

He thought that she would do something violent these two days, but she was so calm and quiet.

He got up and walked toward Cordy.

At first, he wanted to take a blanket to drape it over her body. But when he saw her curl up that way, he felt that it was rather an uncomfortable sleeping posture. She would be sore all over when she woke up. Hence, he decided to carry her back to her room.

When he had just touched her, a pair of slender arms were soon around his neck.

He was caught off guard when Cordy took the initiative to kiss his lips.

Consequently, John's heartbeat quickened wildly.

He did not even manage to regain his wits when she deepened their kiss.

    He gave Cordy a call, but she did not pick up.He began feeling anxious and continued calling her repeatedly.He suddenly stood up to head to the door to look for her.Just then, Cordy called him back.John immediately picked up, "Why didn't you answer my calls?!"His voice sounded clearly anxious."Were you worried about me?" Cordy, on the other hand, was calm and composed."I was just… feeling bored all alone," John made up a weak excuse."So you missed me.""Are you done playing this game, Cordy? Do you know that we have only a few hours left before we have to leave this place…""Come out." Cordy cut him off mid-sentence.John furrowed his brows. "What?""Come out of villa."With that, Cordy hung up.John kept his anger in check and walked out of the villa.The wooden fence corridor suddenly lit up.It was six in the evening, and the sky was not yet completely dark.But it did not lessen in any way the romantic ambience in the air.He walked in the direction of the

    The clear clinking sound was drowned by the sound of the waves crashing along the coast.Cordy sipped from the glass.She said, "John, does this not seem familiar to you?""Not at all.""All right." Cordy chuckled.Her smile was clearly laced with sorrow.John turned his face away to look into the distance where the boundless ocean lay ahead beyond the horizon…The sky was turning darker and darker by the minute.The candlelight mingled with the soft glow of the lamps, intensifying the romantic atmosphere around them.A touching melody suddenly came from afar.It was the lilting notes of a violin drifting from a quiet corner.Cordy stood up from her seat, and John looked at her.He saw her taking one difficult step at a time toward him, reaching her hands out by way of invitation. "Shall we dance?"John looked at her from top to toe. "Are you sure you can still dance?""Of course I can."John chuckled helplessly, although he stood up anyway.He walked toward Cordy, and

    She was so near, yet he did not dare to reach out to her.He thought that Cordy was leaving, that she would leave upon being rejected by him.She had always been a proud woman, and he would rather she stay that way.She would leave without hesitation at his rejection.He did not want to see her groveling and doing herself injustice, being so aggrieved for his sake…Cordy picked up her bag on the table and fished out a folded piece of paper.She struggled to walk back to John.She flattened out the piece of paper and handed it to him. "This is the result of the DNA test between you and Richard."Yes.She did not want to show him that or tie John to herself this way, but she succumbed to it eventually.Rather than seeing him leave, she would rather lose her dignity.She never thought that she would go to such an extent for a man she loved.After experiencing what she did with Kyle, she thought that she would never fall in love again…But John was worth it.Yet, John refused

    But eventually, John did not stop her.They simply brushed past each other just like that. Cordy returned to the hotel villa, while John left the beach.-"Have you given up yet?"Cordy buried her face between her knees on the soft couch in the hotel villa.Sean's voice was a mix of concern and helplessness.Cordy did not lift her head up and simply nodded."Then let's go back." Sean did not ask her any questions, and he neither mock her nor showed her any concern.He just took it that this episode was over, and he did not want to embarrass her."Give me a moment." Cordy's voice was nasal from all the crying."Sure."Sean sat next to her as he waited.He would be lying if he said that his heart did not ache for Cordy, seeing her like this. He would also be lying if he said that he did not feel like punching John.But he was a rational man.He clearly knew what was best for Cordy, and whatever he said at this point would only make her feel worse.The only thing he could

    Patrick looked at Cordy in disbelief.He admitted that he had been pursuing her even in his dreams, but he never expected Cordy to say yes to him one day.Cordy was like the bright moon in the night sky, beautiful but unattainable. His desire for her, the moon that he could never reach, could only exist in his own world.But right now, his moon had suddenly agreed to try things out with him.Was he hearing things? He instinctively looked toward Sean.Sean was the only other witness tonight, aside from him and Cordy.There was a tinge of resignation in Sean's eyes until he felt Patrick looking at him dazedly, as if he were hallucinating. He was hallucinating, right?!After all, Sean was hoping against all hope that Patrick would end up with Cordy.Now that Cordy had finally agreed, he was a very happy man.Of course, Patrick clearly knew that Sean approved of him not because he was excellent, but because John was terrible.There would not be disappointment without compar

    He must have guessed that she was hurt by John and needed someone to lean on.Perhaps that need was not love.She was just tired.He clearly knew all that, yet not only did he not mind, but he even felt thankful for her acceptance.What kind of a man was he?Cordy lurched into Patrick's embrace, no longer able to hold her emotions back, and Patrick stood stunned.His heart pounded uncontrollably, as if it no longer belonged to his body.He felt Cordy sobbing hard in his arms.He did not know if she was crying for him or for John. The only thing he cared about was that she was in his arms, in a place where he could finally feel her near."Patrick, I admit that I don't love you enough right now, but I swear I'll do my best to love you," Cordy said clearly as she made her promise to Patrick."That's enough for me." Patrick hugged Cordy back.The sight of the two of them locked in a tight embrace landed in Richard's line of vision, and Sean was standing right next to him.The t

    John's phone rang.It sounded ear-piercing in the quiet corridor.Many members of the Lynd family were there in the corridor, aside from him, and that included Jean.Nana's attempt at committing suicide again deepened her animosity toward John.The moment she arrived at the hospital, she pointed her finger at John and threatened to kill him if anything untoward happened to Nana.The sound coming from his phone made Jean glare at him, but he did not really care about it.He knew that as long as Nana was around, the Lynds would not do anything to him.The Lynds knew too well how important he was to Nana, and they would not dare lay a finger on him.Conversely, should Nana die, he would definitely not be able to escape unscathed in the hands of the Lynd family.John fished out his phone, unperturbed, as he tapped on the notification.His thumb suddenly went stiff.For that split second, the photo in his phone became blurry.At the next moment, a commotion along the corridor sn

    Right before she shut her eyes, she looked weakly at John.A smile of victory crept up her lips.Everyone accompanied Nana back to her ward.After a while, when Nana had fallen into deep sleep, the Lynds prepared to make a move."Come with me, Lucas," Jean said, her face dark with displeasure.The kind and tender look she gave Nana earlier had completely vanished. The entire atmosphere dipped, making one tremble in suspense.John followed Jean out of the ward and they stood along the corridor.The other members of the Lynd family stood nearby and looked on at both of them.Jean cut to the chase. "Lucas, my patience has reached its limit. If it weren't for Nana, do you think you'd have survived in the capital until now?""You've misunderstood me this time," Lucas said, firmly and unyieldingly."Misunderstood you? What exactly is your relationship with Cordy Sachs?!" Jean went straight to the point.She did not want to beat around the bush any longer."I admit that I had feel

    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
