Chapter 1428
A Life Debt Repaid
Quinn did not mind Samâs coldness, however-she knew him well enough, and he certainly was not the type who would go shopping or comment seriously while one shopped. If anything, it was outrageous that he would come and sit around. âOh, hello, Sam,â Lindsay greeted him when she saw him.
âIâm taking Quinn with me. Weâre having dinner with friends,â he said.
âOh, sure. Young people should socialize more often-itâs good,â Lindsay said cheerfully, having grown more tolerant of Sam these days.
Before this, while she would not disapprove whenever Sam mentioned he was going out, she would make a face, indicating clearly that she did not like it.
âItâs still early now. Come try out your suit,â she told him nonetheless.
âNo, weâre leaving now. Getting changed is too much effortâ¦â
âNow!â Lindsay snapped sternly.
âBut Iâm tired after workâ¦â
âIt took Quinn a long while to pick this for you. Canât you put it on for your wifeâs sake?â Lindsay huffed, frustrated that Sam was still so dense when it came to courtship.
Sam turned toward Quinn in turn, and she quickly said, âItâs just something I picked that I thought would suit you. Just try to see if it suits you-if you like it, Iâll have it tailored to your size.â
âYeah,â Sam replied flatly.
âIn case I donât like it.â No one seemed to notice his fingers shaking, as he was really astounded that Quinn would really pick something for him. He followed the staff to the changing room, and once he stepped out, everyone was exclaiming, âLooking good, Mr. Saunders! The suit is made for you!â
âReally?â Sam was skeptical. âYeah,â Quinn quickly joined in.
âYou really look good in it.â
âIs that so?â Sam clearly smiled at her affirmation, even looking a little gleeful just then. âWell, thatâs mostly thanks to my good looks and not the suit.â Quinn could not help giggling-he was still the narcissist he was. She went over and straightened his lopsided tie, and everyone around them was smiling as they watched their romantic gesture⦠that was, everyone except Ryan, whose eyes were flaring with rage. He was waiting for Quinn and Sam to start a fight, and instead, they were publicly flaunting their affection! Naturally, neither Sam nor Quinn noticed him shaking in frustration.
In fact, while Quinn straightened Samâs necktie, she told him, âThe staff said that our clothes are from a coupleâs set.â
âReally?â Sam could not tell. âThe trim on your lapels and the buttons sewn in are all dark green, see?
The color matches my gown,â Quinn explained. Sam only noticed that just then, and had to admit that such subtle details were a delight.
âYou like it?â Quinn asked him after fixing his necktie.
âMore or less,â Sam replied. In reality, he could not wipe the smile off his face now. Though he thought Ryan and Quinn were a match earlier, it seemed that he and Quinn looked more like a couple nowin terms of their clothes, at least. That alone made that his win!
