Chapter 1354
A Life Debt Repaid
Quinn actually knew that he had woken Lindsay up, but she kept her voice down whenever she spoke anyway.
On the other hand, Ryan never didâeven if he knew that his mother was sleeping, he did not care as he vented his feelings.
Quinn shrugged and gave up just then.
She did not want to press the issue of Ryan changing as a person⦠or that she never noticed that side of him that many others did not know of.
Right now, she just wanted to live her life and be with Sam.
âIâm going now. Samâs hurt too-l need to check on him,â she said and turned to leave without another word.
Ryan growled coldly in her wake, âI donât care if youâre trying to be petty and said those things to upset me, warning: if you step out of that door, weâre never getting back together. I refuse to cater to the whims of hand- me-downs.â
Quinn pursed her lips-so she was a hand-me-down in his mind already.
No one would have stayed unscathed by such a humiliating term, but it really was no skin off her back.
Perhaps now that he was not important to her, nothing he said mattered.
Still, she suddenly turned and walked up to him, and he watched, convinced that she was afraid to leave because of his threat.
He smiled smugly-he knew she was just bluffing and that there was no way she had fallen out of love with him. He certainly knew that Quinn would not be stupid enough to pick the inferior one between him and Sam. After all, anyone with a working pair of eyes would know that picking him was the smart choice.
âLetâs start over Quinn,â he said. âLet bygones be-â
âIâm just getting Samâs medicine,â Quinn said as she picked up the packet on the tea table. âI had the doctor write two prescriptions.â
And with that, she was gone, leaving with swift termination.
Ryanâs face flushed from indescribable rage as he seethed.
He gritted his teeth as he did his damndest to stop himself from having a breakdown, but there was no doubt that it was a slap to his face!
He would never accept that Quinn would dump him to be with Sam⦠if anything, he was the one who dumped Quinn!
âRyan,â Lindsay finally spoke amid the silence.
Ryan quickly composed himself, once again the kind, mature, and understanding child-the child everyone envied -as he stood before Lindsay.
âSorry that I woke you up, Mom,â he said. âI didnât think Quinn would be that stubborn.â
