Chapter 1385
A Life Debt Repaid
Quinn continued, âYou canât blame your parents even though I disagree with them and dislike what they said about you. But if you calm down and think, their prejudice against you is understandableâyou were always messing around, while Ryan was smarter and disciplined. All we need to do is have your parents see that youâre changing and doing your best, and Iâm sure theyâll see you in a new light in time. So instead of getting petty with them, prove yourself through your actions instead, alright?â
Sam stayed silent, so Quinn had no idea what he was thinking-it was concerning since he had always been radical, and no one could ever force him to do anything he did not like.
But now that he had changed, Quinn believed that he must not give up halfway through now.
âSam?â she called out to him tentatively.
âI know,â Sam suddenly said, leaving her perplexed.
What did he mean?
âI mean I know they wonât trust me until I show results. Itâs my fault for being a disappointment before,â
Sam said with a tinge of irony and impatience, seeing the puzzled look on her face, but his anger had clearly subsided considerably.
âYou werenât a disappointment. It just wasnât the right time for you to show your merits,â Quinn said, doing all she could to encourage Sam. âBut the time has come, and youâll leave everyone astounded.â
Sam shot her a sideways glance. âYou really like to stroke othersâ egos, huh?â
âJust stating facts,â Quinn replied with a look of determination.
Sam suddenly smiled, and it was so genuine that Quinn felt delighted too.
Still, his smile soon faded, seemingly because he realized that he was doing it.
Turning away from her, he huffed, âI just find you laughable. Nothing else.â
With that, they reached their car where their chauffeur had been waiting for a while, and Sam entered with Quinn quickly following.
âYou actually look handsome when you smile, Sam,â she suddenly told him.
Sam kept his back to her, though he could not help smiling just then. Still, Quinn could see it from his reflection in the mirror. He was definitely changing gradually, and though she was really concerned that something would affect his growth, she looked forward to his metamorphosis!
âAre we heading home, Mr. Saunders?â the chauffeur asked respectfully as he drove the car out of the parking lot.
âTo the office,â Sam growled.
Quinn did a double take, thinking she misheard him for a moment.
It was a long flight home, and they were heading straight to the office instead of going home for a break?
Was he really listening to her and properly doing his best now?!
âDonât give yourself too much credit-itâs not for your sake,â Sam suddenly growled viciously. âIâm just fed up with my parents and Ryan belittling me all the time. Iâll show them how awesome I am and give them a slap in the face!â
Quinn could not help smilingâSam was never eager to get ahead before, and he only gave up further the more they disparaged him.
But now, she had this feeling he changed for her sake⦠Or at the very least, he agreed to all the stuff she said.
âIâm sticking with you, Sam,â she promised him right then.â Weâll give them a slap in the face together!â
