《A Life Debt Repaid》全部章節：第 1501 章 - 第 1510 章

Sam remained nonchalant. "It's no hurry. I've been preparing for half a month."He did not seem affected that he would be leaving the country along with his friends and family."When are you coming back?" Ryan asked.Sam shrugged. "No idea—it depends on how things go. I'll be back early if things go smoothly. If they don't, who knows?"Ryan had more to say but realized he had nothing more to say.He took Quinn's hand just then.Quinn seemed to regain her senses just then, and she pursed her lips, a tear rolling off the corner of her eye.She hid it well."Come on," Ryan told her.She nodded, not saying a word to Sam even in parting.Sam did not look at her, because he knew he could only watch her leave when she had gone far with Ryan, which he did.Inr reality, there were plenty of talented representatives in Saunderia—Sam did not have to go abroad himself. Still, he offered to do it to stay away from them.As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind—just like now.He

Zoe promptly texted Cordy: [Sam is back! He's really back! He just entered the hall!]Cordy: [I told you he'd come. You didn't believe me.]Zoe: [How should I know that I'm that attractive?]Cordy sent a speechless emoji, spotting Sam, who was very tall and easy to spot in a crowd, as she looked up just then. "Sam," John called out to him just then, and he quickly made his way toward them and sat down."When did you get back?" John asked."Noon yesterday," Sam replied."Why didn't you tell us?" Bob snorted, a little miffed just then. "What, too important to hang out with your brothers now that your career has taken off?""My career's taken off? Have you ever seen Johnny's pockets?" Sam rolled his eyes.Bob simply shrugged. John then asked, "When are you going back?""In two days. I'll be visiting my parents before that," Sam replied."So you don't have time for us now, do you?" Bob butted in."It's a little rushed since there's still stuff to do," Sam said. "We have all

As their eyes met, Sam turned frantic and averted his. "Of course.""Really?" Quinn asked."Would I lie to you?" Sam asked a little grumpily."And you didn't bring her back?" Quinn asked."I'm on a schedule, and it'd be taxing for her if I bought her along," Sam said, making things up as he went along. "I'll bring her along when things are less busy.""Is she pretty?" Quinn pressed."What, have I ever picked an ugly one?" Sam snorted smugly. "You know I prefer curvaceous types, and there are plenty of those abroad.""Do you have a photo?"Sam was silent for a while and eventually said, "Yeah.""Can I see it?""What, does she have to pass your assessment?""Just curious about the girl who can tempt you to settle down," Quinn replied. "You'd be humbled." Sam hastily came up with an excuse."I won't," Quinn said, determined."You'll see her when I bring her home." Sam refused nonetheless."I would like to see a photo now.""No, she's not that photogenic. It'd be slander a

The guests were encouraging, loudly asking, "Why?!""Because of a woman," Sam's recording replied."Who is it?""Quinn Summer," the Sam on the screen said slowly and clearly, leaving the Sam who was in the hall stunned.What the hell?! That was the proposal video he prepared before! Why did it show up here? Did Zoe make a mistake?!He knew it—leave anything to Zoe, and she would mess it up!He started striding toward the stage, intent on stopping the recording, when John and Bob intercepted him with a look of utter guilt while the recording continued. "Quinn is my wife, and we've been married for years, but I've never really loved her—not because I don't, but because I'm afraid to. I feel too insignificant in comparison to the one she loves, so I'd always hurt her… painfully and childishly. I regret that so much now, Quinn. How could I have abandoned you for so long because of my own jealousy? I'd rather hold you in my sleep every night, but my damned pride denied me that for y

However, Sam had already pushed Quinn away before she could tell him. But even if he did not love her or did not want to be with her, she would never stay with Ryan.She had been disappointed in Sam, wondering why he would give up so easily.Was she that unimportant to him?Therefore, if it were not for Zoe and Cordy showing her that video or telling her so much, she would never have known that he loved her for years…Sam's heart ached even as he looked into Quinn's tearful eyes.He reached out a hand, but soon withdrew it—would he not burden her?Even so, it hurt to restrain himself as he watched her, and he was actually getting the feeling that Quinn loved him…But she already had Ryan's child…Well, he was fine with that, as long as the child was Quinn's.But would she not mind?"I will marry you, Sam," Quinn said slowly and clearly then. "Not because you're a good man, not because you prepared so much for me, and not because of how much you prepared for me, but because I
