A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 385

Quinn was left staring at Ryan, unable to react.

He continued to explain, “My superiors also arranged it so that I could stay at North City indefinitely, so I won’t be going abroad. I might be traveling to the headquarters in the capital occasionally, though.’

“That’s good. You’d be working close from home,” Quinn replied with a small smile.

“It’s late, Ryan. Get some rest,” she said softly.

“…Okay,” Ryan murmured, refraining from saying what he intended to say.

Quinn returned to her bed, but she couldn’t sleep despite her fatigue.

All sorts of messy thoughts would appear in her mind even if she closed her eyes, leaving her annoyed.

She hence stared at the ceiling until daybreak, and washed up to go to work like she usually did.

The rest of the family were at the dining table and having breakfast.

Syd Collins-the girl Ryan brought along-was there with them, but Sam wasn’t since he usually woke up past noon.

“I’m so sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought you’re Ryan’s girlfriend.’ Lindsay was smiling.

Still, she would much rather that to be the case-she may support Ryan’s career, but she would like to see him start a family soon too.

“I’d like that, but Ryan really isn’t biting. But you have nothing to worry about, ma’amril do my best to win his heart,” Syd smiled in turn.

Having spent more time abroad than locally, she was much more open- minded and forthright in nature.

“Really?* Lindsay smiled.

“Stop it,* Ryan suddenly said rather sternly. “You’re just twenty-l’m too old for you.”

“But I like older men,” Syd said stubbornly, and Ryan gave up since he had no comeback.

Quinn was there with them, quietly eating her breakfast.

Afterwards, Lindsay pulled Quinn aside and asked, “What did Sam say last night?”

“He’s resistant against the idea,’ Quinn admitted.

“That useless boy,” Lindsay muttered under her breath. ‘They’re both my son, but he’s such a far cry from his brother.

Quinn remained silent, while Lindsay told her, “Sorry for the trouble, Quinn.

I’ll have a heart-to-heart with Sam about this.’

“Okay.” Quinn smiled faintly. “I’ll go to work now.”

However, just as Quinn stopped outside and was ready to get in her car, Ryan suddenly showed up and asked, “Can I hitch a ride?”

Quinn spotted Syd behind Ryan, who smiled in turn, looking just like a child.

“I’d like to take a stroll around North City with Ryan,’ she said. “I heard the city’s been developing well, even better than some metropolises abroad.’

“Okay.” Quinn nodded, and rode shotgun while a chauffeur took the wheel, having taken Cordy’s advice.

Along the journey, Syd was chattering incessantly, although it wasn’t at all noisy for Quinn.

She was just lamenting a little that she was getting further from that age where she could do anything she liked.

The chauffeur took them to a luxury mall in the city first, before sending Quinn to Saunderia.

Quinn worked like she usually did, but she could not resist texting Zoe when she had the time.
