Zoe quickly changed the subject. [Still up this late?]Cordy replied: [Why'd you text me if you knew it's late?]Zoe was suddenly stumped, though Cordy soon sent another reply to answer the question. [I'm in bed. Just haven't fallen asleep.]Zoe exposed Cordy right then. [Because Lucas is marrying Nana Lynd tomorrow.] [It has nothing to do with them. I'm chronically insomniac.][Really?][Yeah.]Zoe didn’t press the issue. [Fair enough. So what's the secret?]Cordy didn’t reply, however, and Zoe was left restless—she was always rash, while Cordy was always calm.Someday, that woman would kill her. Still, Zoe’s phone started ringing with a call just as she started to draft another text.Zoe quickly answered. "Cordy?"On the other end, Cordy frowned. "What happened to your voice?"Huh. She forgot that she had lost her voice."Do you have a cold?" Cordy pressed."No.""Then how did your voice get so hoarse?""Uh…"Why Zoe was unsure how to explain, Cordy asked, "Wait,

As Zoe hung up, she turned and almost jumped when she saw Jay in his wheelchair. He was staying still just beside the doorway.When did he get there?!She then remembered that he left to get them food, and wondered if her pregnancy had somehow left her muddle-headed.Nonetheless, Jay wheeled himself inside with a bowl of strawberry soup. If Zoe were to be honest, she really wanted something sweet and hydrating just like that soup. She wolfed it down as soon as Jay passed it to her.As she drank, she asked, "Have you eaten?""No."Zoe looked up at Jay, who shrugged. "I'll eat once you've eaten.""You can share this with me.""I don't think that'd be enough for you.""Can't you bring more?" Zoe asked. "Instead of just one bowl.""I can.""Then bring another," Zoe said, a little speechless.Did his intelligence go dull as well? But he was never pregnant! "Yeah," Jay replied. Just as he was going to wheel himself out of the room, he suddenly asked, "Is Cordy in a relationsh

Cordy was still unable to fall asleep after she hung up.She didn’t mind admitting to herself that she was losing sleep because it was John and Nana's wedding's tomorrow.However, having made up her mind, she was supposed to feel relieved towards it all…and yet, there was still a heavy load that she couldn’t get off her chest.Maybe it would be gone once John actually got married?She flipped in bed and kept trying to sleep when her phone jingled with another Whatsapp text message.Cordy was convinced it was Zoe, since that girl always imposed no matter the time.However, she picked up her phone to see that it was a text from Patrick.[Are you asleep? I'm at the capital now.]Cordy's heart skipped a beat—he had never mentioned that before.In fact, after the night they confirmed their relationship, they planned to go on another trip around the capital the next day to let their feelings grow. However, he ended up returning to Rocktown early the next morning for work, and she ha

Patrick seemed really lethargic at first, but became energetic again the moment Cordy kissed him on the cheek. He turned and gaped at her.He was certainly stunned and caught with disbelief that she would actually kiss him."Go to bed soon," Cordy told him, feeling a little creeped out from his stare.Maybe she shouldn’t have done that—restraint wasn’t his strong suit.She could tell that he was so delighted he could dance, but couldn’t he at least hide it a little?!"Cordy." Patrick caught her just as she turned to leave, and her heart skipped a beat again.She really shouldn’t have teased him—give him an inch, and he'd want a mile.To no surprise, he pulled her into his arms; her face was planted into his chest, almost suffocating her.Cordy struggled, trying to free herself as she snapped grumpily, "Are you trying to smother me, Patrick Stuart?""I'm just so happy!" Patrick couldn’t stop grinning."That's no excuse for murder."He simply cupped her puffy cheeks and said

Patrick snapped, "What, do you kiss only after you're married? What, are you from ancient times, boomer?!""I don't know," Sean replied flatly. "All I know is that you don't get to do it here in my house as long as you're not married."Patrick almost had a stroke right then. "Look, man—"Sean, however, simply ignored Patrick and firmly pulled his hand off Cordy, who was watching everything in silence. She could see that Patrick could jump from sheer frustration. Even so, Sean added threateningly, "Watch yourself if you don't want to get kicked out of my house."Patrick gritted his teeth, clearly withholding the hissy fit he was just about to let loose.Cordy couldn’t help smiling as she watched that reaction; she always had the feeling that Patrick was completely powerless when he was around Sean—as if Sean had Patrick grabbed by the balls."Go to bed," Sean repeated sternly at Cordy, scowling.Cordy glanced at Patrick, worried that he would blow up right then and there; howev

The sedan stopped in the underground car park of a shopping complex, and Cordy was rendered speechless. She was being dragged out to shop while in her pajamas and barely any makeup… Patrick was really ridiculous! "Let's go," Patrick beckoned, even opening the door for her in true gentleman fashion.Cordy refused—it was just so embarrassing!"Come on," Patrick urged."Do you think I'm going to humiliate myself like this?" she snapped."Trust me."Cordy gritted her teeth, but ultimately alighted. She could afford to brace herself and trust him just this once.Afterward, they both entered the elevator.Thankfully, it was unoccupied—or she wouldn’t know where to hide as they rode it up to the top floor.Patrick was still strutting as he led Cordy out of the elevator, which left her in further confusion as to what his plans were. "Look, Patrick, it's my ex's wedding—not yours! Shouldn't I be the one feeling upset about it?""That's why I'm trying to cheer you up."Cordy roll

Patrick grinned. "So? Do you think we're a perfect fit for one another?"Before Cordy could answer, the store assistant nearby promptly praised them sycophantically, "Of course, Mr. Stuart! You and Miss Sachs are a match made in heaven—no one deserves each other more than you two!"Patrick was obviously delighted from the obvious fawning, and there was no hiding the dazzling smile on his face.Later, Cordy was escorted by the store's staff to the makeup station, while Patrick took a seat on a nearby couch and waited. While others would be killing time by fiddling with their phones or reading something, Patrick was resting his chin on one hand as he stared straight at Cordy.…As if worried she would disappear in the blink of an eye.The staff who were helping Cordy with her makeup were getting embarrassed by his stare, and couldn’t help teasing, "Are you that afraid we'd abduct Miss Sachs, sir?"Cordy blushed, and snapped a little grumpily, "Could you keep your eyes to yourself,

Cordy was neither lying nor offering comfort to Patrick because she was being soft.She had already resolved herself when she chose to be with him—that she would never let him down.Emotional, Patrick's eyes turned watery. "You better keep your promise, Cordy.""Yeah." She nodded.He gave her hand a squeeze and they locked fingers, offering each other a genuine promise.-They arrived at the grand hotel where the wedding was held. Nana was the precious daughter of the prestigious Lynd family, and they certainly spared no expense for the occasion.Even friends and relatives living in distant lands came to attend, and there were security guards as well as bodyguards on watch everywhere.Cordy presented her invitation at the entrance, and headed inside with Patrick after it was verified.There were already plenty of people present, and the bustling crowd of guests were all socializing.Be that as it may, Cordy and Patrick drew considerable attention when she showed up linking ar

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
