A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 963
If she were honest, she would admit that she regretted it the moment she touched Jay's lips.That touch felt like lightning that jolted her awake.How could she take the initiative to kiss Jay?!If Jay instinctively pushed her away, would the act they worked so hard to put up over the past few days not all be in vain?!Even if Jay was professional enough to not push her away, she did it in front of so many photographers and even Bob…What she did was simply courting death.A large-scale, bloody social death.At that moment, Zoe had a strong urge to take her leave. Just as she was about to do so, a warm hand held the back of her head to stop her from leaving, as if knowing what she would do next.The next moment, he deepened the kiss."Mm!" Zoe's eyes widened.She stared at Jay's huge face up close.Did he stop aging at some point?How could a man over thirty years of age have such smooth and poreless skin? Of course, Zoe's attention wasn't exactly on Jay's looks.After

If they were not currently filming a show, Bob would really have punched Jay in the face.He would see how smug Jay could be!"Very soon, we'll be legally married too," Cora suddenly announced."Have you decided on a wedding date?" Jay asked casually.He asked it with a tone of superiority as their senior."Yes, we have. But we need to keep it a secret for now," Cora said on purpose.In reality, as a celebrity, there were many things that were out of their control.Cora could not announce anything of her own accord without her management company's approval."Yeah." Jay clearly knew the rules of the industry and did not ask any further."Hurry up and go back." Bob began rushing them.Looking like he did not want them around would be variety show fodder bound to go viral."No way," Jay said calmly. "We'll have lunch right here at your place.""I'd say, Jay Parker, that's quite enough! Putting aside the fact that you're Cora's uncle, we're peers!" Bob deliberately flared up.

"Oh, come on. Everyone knows that I'm the adopted son of the Levine family." Jay refused to give in to Cora.Cora's eyes turned red with anger.Zoe stood idly by and watched with completely no intention of stopping the fight.Bob had to be the one to shoulder everything.He, a rich heir who lacked neither money nor fame, gave in to Cora's pleas and joined the TV show, telling himself that he could just treat it as a holiday. Yet, he did not expect to end up being the one hurt most deeply.As if the torture of seeing Jay and Zoe being so in love was not enough, he even had to deal with the aftermath of their behavior.He said, "You're wretched, Jay. Cora, don't stoop to his level. To me, you're the best no matter what."Cora's annoyance dissipated upon hearing Bob's words as a smile broke across her face."Eat more. I like seeing you eat well and becoming cute and chubby under my care." Bob started putting lots of food on her plate."Are you saying I'm fat?" Cora was on the bri

She had already told herself not to have any hopes for Jay…It was all Cordy's fault for making Zoe trust her judgment. "But not me," Jay suddenly said."Huh?" Zoe did not understand what Jay meant."I said, I didn't kiss you for the cameras."Zoe's heart leapt.She was unable to hide that sudden jolt in her heart.The two of them fell silent, and the atmosphere was rather tense.After a long while, Jay changed the subject. "Bob and Cora are pretty close now.""I can tell," Zoe agreed.She had, in fact, felt guilty toward Bob all along.Seeing Bob and Cora being so close made her feel glad."But don't call Cora fat in front of everyone. Being in the entertainment circle yourself, aren't you afraid that Cora will lose filming opportunities by saying that?""Which of her movies aren't filmed by me?" Jay said, his brows arching.Zoe was silenced.Jay was verbally harsh to Cora, but his actions betrayed how much he cared for Cora.She felt like she was only embarrassing he

"Zoe," Jay suddenly called out to her."Yes?""Should we…try it out?" Jay asked.Zoe's heart leaped, and she instinctively tightened her grip over Jay's wheelchair handles."I meant, try dating," Jay clarified himself.He said it in a very small voice, but Zoe heard it.His voice sounded clearly in her ears.And then, it lingered on.The air turned awkward at once.Jay clenched his fists involuntarily.Was he being too forward?Zoe had long lost all feelings for him.If it were not because of family issues, Zoe and Bob would already have…The thought that Zoe and Bob used to date each other made Jay feel like a huge stone rolled over his heart. It hurt so much that he almost could not breathe.He said, "Zoe, I'll do my best to be a good husband and father. Shall we start anew?"He always thought that he could keep his feelings for Zoe under control.He had been able to watch Zoe and Bob get together and give them his blessings, even though his heart was aching and bleed

He had let go of the past.The two of them were deciding to start anew for real.Subsequently, Zoe and Jay seemed to treat each other differently.It was a very subtle change that outsiders might not notice, but they felt it deeply.For example, they no longer needed to feign intimacy. All of their intimate behaviors were from their hearts.They no longer kept their distance from each other on the bed when they turned in for the night too.Naturally, the two of them would end up hugging each other to sleep.Of course, they did not actually do anything during the TV show, but they no longer detested being close to each other.After filming the first episode and on their way back, Zoe fell asleep in the car.Although the trip itself was not tiring, having the cameras around them all the time made her so tensed up she was not even able to sleep well.Now that no one was 'monitoring' her, Zoe could finally relax and sleep throughout the journey without a care for the world.They

Before Zoe could respond, she was hauled up in Jay's arms."Ah!" Zoe yelled, her heart thumping wildly. "What are you doing, Jay?""Taking a shower.""Let me go. Shower by yourself." Zoe struggled against his hold."You said that I rejected having a shower with you just now.""I regret saying that now.""Too late."Jay carried Zoe straight into the bathroom.She did not understand how a disabled man who needed to be in a wheelchair to get around could be so strong?!She had no strength at all to resist him.The door to the shower was shut and locked.Jay asked, "Are you going to take off your own clothes or shall I help you?"Zoe stared at Jay.Was he being serious?Had he not always… been reserved and restrained? She remembered that when they were still living with the Levines back then. She had always been rejected by him when she threw herself at him. Yet now, was he deciding not to put up an act any longer?!Zoe suddenly smiled flirtatiously at him."I'll do it

He had to remove the scars on his face in consideration of his career in the entertainment industry and the fact that he still had to appear on TV at times.Otherwise, he would not have cared.After so many years, he had long gotten used to the scars on his body. He had also forgotten that he was no longer single right now.He even forgot how ugly the scars on his body were.He looked down at the part of his body that Zoe caressed and asked, "Do you detest me?"She probably would.Zoe placed much importance on appearances, and she had been like this from a young age.It was during that period that John was often abroad and did not care much for Zoe as he was naturally a cold and proud man. But each time John came back, Zoe loved to follow behind him. Nancy was always surprised by her behavior since she had been doted upon since she was young and rarely took the initiative to grow close to others. Nancy did not understand why Zoe liked John so much.It was only after he asked ab

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
