A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1418

Quinn blushed even harder.

She had no idea how things stood between herself and Sam as of yet, but it was definitely not at the stage of having children.

Sam was getting embarrassed too and quickly said, "You don't have to worry about us—we get it."

"I really think you don't," Lindsay huffed. "Your children would be running around now if you did your job!"

"Mom!" Sam cried, speechless. "Cut it out."

"Fine, I'll stop—but I must warn you, Sam, you're not getting a better woman if you lose Quinn. You'd be forever alone, regretting it for life!"

"I know." Sam snorted impatiently, but he was not arguing the point.

Nearby, Ryan was left glowering as he listened and suddenly got up to leave the drawing room.

Everyone turned toward him because of his sudden departure, and Sam naturally knew what Ryan was upset about.

He turned to glance at Quinn, who was staring as Ryan left.

It was just a knee-jerk reaction and nothing else, and when she sensed Sam looking, she promptly turned back toward him.

She met his gaze, as if telling him wordlessly that she had gotten over Ryan.

Sam averted his eyes, but he was celebrating inwardly.

She had really gotten over Ryan, had she not?!

Marvin and Lindsay were surprised for a couple of seconds after Ryan left too but never mentioned him. They were mostly discussing Marvin's birthday and urging Sam and Quinn to have children soon.

Sam and Quinn headed home at 9 PM—they normally never headed home this early since they often worked overtime. As such, they would usually be exhausted and go to bed once they had taken their baths.

Tonight, however, coming home early meant things got a little awkward.
