Chapter 1431

Cordy was left blushing due to Zoe’s words, since the latter was clearly right on the money.

“See? I know the man—he’s always kept his passionate side bottled,” Zoe said smugly. “The man might look cold, but he really lets loose when it’s the one he loves. You’re going to see even more action from now on!”

“Stop it, Zoe.” Cordy was at a loss for words. “You’re pregnant. Babies start learning even in the womb.”

“Who cares about a slab of meat.”

Who on earth calls a baby a slab of meat?!

Still, Zoe turned toward Quinn just then. “So, what have you been busy with lately? It takes you days to reply to a text.”

Zoe was certainly fuming-pregnancy was already boring, and what made it worse was Jay stopping her from doing everything!

She felt like she would waste away!

“Things have been busy with Saunderia,” Quinn explained.” There were operational issues that almost led to a bankruptcy, so Sam and I were busy for a while.”

“Did you just say Sam?” Zoe asked skeptically. “He’s working?”

“You should change your opinion on him now.” Quinn smiled. “He’s a changed man, and not perpetually goofing off like before. It’s all thanks to him that Saunderia was brought back from the brink.”

Turning toward Cordy then, Quinn was grateful even as she continued, “Of course, it’s all thanks to Cordy and John as well. Thank you so much-l’m really afraid to think about what would’ve happened if you didn’t go all out helping us!”

“It’s nothing, really.” Cordy shrugged nonchalantly. “Still, John did tell me how much Sam changed-he would call sometimes late in the night, when we’re both asleep, just to ask John if there were issues with his policies. He’s really been working hard.”

“Wait, he really changed?” Zoe exclaimed, naturally trusting Cordy.

Turning toward Quinn, Zoe demanded, “Hold on, did you whip him into shape?”

“You’re giving me too much credit.” Quinn smiled. “I think he’s at that age where he’d come around.”

“Hmmm… Why am I getting this feeling you’re really into him right now?” Zoe asked, sharply catching Quinn blushing and nodding in understanding. “Be honest-is your marriage improving by leaps and bounds? Right?! If he’s changed, I think you can really stick with him. At least he’s loyal, and to be honest, I think he’s better than Sam.” 1 “Wait, really?” Quinn frowned-Zoe really thought that?!

She never said that before, though it was not just her either since everyone believed that Ryan was much better than Sam.

The whole world would always say that there was a world of difference between the two Saunders children, and everyone knew who that meant.

“I mean, I used to belittle him because he’s a scumbag who cheats even when he’s married!” Zoe admitted. “I mean, a little hanky-panky before getting married is fine, but it’s moral corruption if continued afterward! That didn’t sit well with me, but the rest of him is fine.”

Quinn felt warmth inside-she might get angry if it were anyone else badmouthing Sam, but she could allow Zoe to do it.

Zoe was Quinn’s best friend, and her approval was what Quinn wanted most.

In fact, Quinn was concerned Zoe would disparage Sam, which was why she kept secret that things were going great with Sam. The man did hurt her too much before, after all.

At the same time, Zoe added smugly, “Also, anyone Johnny appreciates wouldn’t fall short!”

She was really a yes-woman when it came to John-from her perspective, anything he would say would definitely be right.

That was when Zoe added, “On the other hand, when I met Ryan back when we were kids, he was already so vain.”

Quinn did a double take, not because Zoe was badmouthing Ryan, but instead because the word ‘vain’

was quite simply a wake-up call!
