A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1296

After all, Quinn turned thirty this year.

Thirty!

All her youth, gone!

"How are we the same? I'll soon be the mother of two kids, while your children are nonexistent."

Quinn was speechless.

Was Zoe not afraid of giving her depression, rubbing salt into her wound constantly?!

"I mean, look at Cordy—she's our age too, but she'll be a mother-in-law a few years down the line."

"Now you're just being ridiculous." Quinn snorted—Richard was barely a teenager!

"Don't you know how dangerous middle-aged pregnancy can be?" Zoe asked.

"But I'm not middle-aged, am I?"

"You will be if you don't get to work soon."

"It's not like I can do it just because I want to."

"What, are you saying Sam can't do it?!" Zoe said a little too loudly while staring straight at Sam.

Sam, however, was taking his sweet time eating and drinking with Bob, even toasting Sean and Patrick from time to time.

He seemed perfectly at ease and did not seem to care about what Zoe and Quinn were saying, even if he was sitting beside Quinn.

No one would have been able to tell that they were married unless they knew they were.

And if they did not know any better, they would think that Sam and Bob were a couple, given how close they were sitting.

Sam was deliberately keeping his distance from Quinn, was he not?!

Still, hearing his name being mentioned, he slowly turned toward Zoe with his roguish smile. "I'm sure you know the answer to that, Ms. York."

"No, I don't!" Zoe promptly denied. "Don't you slander my good name!"

"I mean, we're childhood friends, and you're acquainted with plenty of starlets yourself. Have those ladies not told you about my performance?"
