Chapter 1455
A Life Debt Repaid
Cordy typed: [The point is, what do we do to allay Quinnâs suspicion?]
Sam had no idea and could not help peeking at Quinn just then.
Quinn was already focused on him, so when he turned, she promptly looked toward him.
As their eyes met, Sam promptly averted his gaze, looking really guilty just then.
Quinn pursed her lips, left perplexed by Samâs recent behavior.
Sam was at a loss too-he did not do anything wrong, so why could he not hold his head high?
He texted the secret chat group: [I donât know.]
And it was the truth.
Zoe thought about it. [How about coming up with some excuse and telling her where you were this morning?]
Cordy replied: [No, that would expose him. We just assured Quinn, so if Sam explains himself right away, Quinn would be sharp enough to tell that we were talking to him. She might blame us, so doing anything now is unnecessary since itâd come off as suspiciously specific denial.]
Zoe responded: [So? What should he do?]
Cordy thought about it. [Actually, I think itâs fine to keep things like this.]
Zoe and Sam were both puzzled.
Cordy then elaborated: [The point of a surprise is its unexpectedness. In fact, Quinn would be further surprised if sheâs feeling disappointed. Just hold on for a few days until your fatherâs birthday, and spring the huge surprise on her.]
Sam remained apprehensive. [Are you sure itâd be a surprise and not a shock? I donât even know if sheâll say yes.]
Zoe replied: [You bonehead! Donât you know how Quinn feels about you?]
Cordy reassured him. [Donât worry. Quinn wonât reject you.]
Sam did not press the issue. [Iâll hold you to that.]
When he was done on that end, he found messages from another group.
John asked: [Sam, is Quinn behaving normally lately?!]
Sam replied: [What?]
John then typed: [Have Cordy and Zoe been hanging out with Quinn lately?]
Sam responded: [Donât think so. Why?]
Jay texted: [Johnny and I think that Cordy and Zoe have been acting weird, and weâre wondering what they might be up to. Thatâs why weâd like to know if Quinn is being weird too.]
Sam replied: [What do you mean, weird?]
Bob chimed in. [Whatâs this, marital troubles? I donât mind being a baby daddy! @Jay]
Jay was blue with shock. [Dream on, and get yourself a wife instead of coveting another manâs!]
Sam replied: [Get a life. @Bob]
Bob responded: [Tch.]
Jay then typed: [You should talk to Cordy, Johnny. Iâll talk to Zoe myself.]
John responded: [We wonât get anything out of them if they donât want to talk. Get someone to follow them to see what theyâre upto instead.]
Jay replied: [Okay.]
Sam was left speechless-should he tell them what he and their wives were sneaking around for?
