Chapter 1430
A Life Debt Repaid
Quinn gritted her teeth, braced herself, and asked, âSam, did you see Ryanâs post?â
Samâs fingers clenched on the steering wheel, his good mood suddenly ruined.
He was just thinking he had the upper hand for the day⦠and she had to rub salt into the wound instead!
âDonât you mind?â Quinn pressed.
âNope,â he replied. âItâs a normal post. Thereâs nothing upsetting.â
Quinn was left staring at him, disappointment showing in her eyes a little.
Was he really not concerned that she would return to Ryanâs side?!
Fighting against her misery, Quinn said, âEven if you donât, Iâm obligated to explain myself as your wife.
Whatever happens, Ryan and I had a pure relationship.â
Samâs fingers clenched on the steering wheel again.
Pure relationship?! Really?! They obviously did it whenâ¦
Sam stopped himself from thinking about it, since he was no saint either and had no right to demand anything from Quinn.
Moreover, her love was pure while he was basically rotten and had a lot less reason to feel grievance.
Nonetheless, Quinn explained, âRyan was the one who offered to go shopping with Lindsay, so we couldnât really refuse. However, I never spoke to him at all and kept our distance-ask your mom if you donât believe me.â
Samâs heart skipped a beat, surprised Quinn would go out of her way to explain so much for him.
Was she that concerned about how he felt?!
âOh, hell.â
Sam had to keep his breathing steady and his eyes focused ahead, since he thought he was getting too excited to drive!
At the same time, Quinn assured him, âSince I chose to be with you, Iâll do so with all my heart. I wonât do you wrong.â
Sam did not seem to react too much, and there was nothing on his face.
She knew itâhe really did not mind.
But whatever the case might be, she had done what she should -this at least meant they would not argue over some tiny misunderstanding.
But while Quinn reclined against her seat, feeling a little distracted, Sam suddenly said, âI wonât either.â
When Quinn thought she was hearing things, Sam repeated,â I mean, I wonât do you wrong too.â
Quinn could not help smiling at that, feeling pumped and invigorated.
Whether Sam took offense to Ryanâs post or not, Sam gave her a promise.
That allowed her to harbor hope for their futureâ¦
When they arrived at Jay and Zoeâs home, Cordy and John were already sitting in the living room.
Quinn certainly missed the newlyweds who had been out on their honeymoon for so long-she missed Zoe too and was excited to see her again after a long while.
âZoe! Your bellyâs really swelling!â she exclaimed in surprise, while John, Jay, Sam, and Bob headed over to another corner, letting the ladies have their chit-chat.
âUrgh, itâs just frustrating to even mention it.â Zoe snorted, speechless. âIâm just five months pregnant, but my stomachâs a lot bigger than when I had Yelena. How much bigger would it get? Can I really recover my figure when Iâm done?â
âOf course you can,â Quinn assured her.
After spending some time having small talk with Zoe, she turned toward Cordy and asked warmly, âSo, what took you so long?â
âNot my fault. Someone really didnât want to leave.â Cordy sighed exasperatedly.
âCome on, Cordy. Youâve kept the man abstinent for how long now?â Zoe smiled mischievously then.
âNow that he has the legal right and privilege, heâs not going to rest until he has his satisfaction!â
