A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1425

"Cordy's back?" Quinn was obviously excited. "Of course I'm coming! It's been so long—we have to thank John and her for helping us so much this time."

"Yeah. We'll be having dinner at Jay's place," Sam said. "He can't really move around much, and Zoe's pregnant—it'll be more convenient for them."

"Okay. Just call me when you're leaving work—I'll help your mom for your dad's birthday banquet."

"Yeah." Sam nodded.

After breakfast, they went their separate ways, with Quinn heading straight to Saunders Mansion.

As soon as she entered the drawing room, she found Ryan seated alone at the couch.

Naturally, she was obviously a little nervous about the sudden encounter, especially since they were alone.

Ryan stared at her for a long while and eventually asked, "Are you here to see my mom?"

"Yeah." Quinn nodded. "Are you staying here?"

"What, you'd rather I be gone?" Ryan scoffed.

"No, but you were always busy with work before," Quinn explained.

"I was busy with my research before, but the research center is less busy these days with most agendas on the right track."

"I see." Quinn nodded again.

Sensing how distant she was, he took a deep breath and asked, "Where's Sam?"

"At work."

Ryan frowned. "On a Saturday?"

"There's still a lot going on at Saunderia, so it's six working days for the time being," Quinn replied, though Sam had not been taking Sundays off for a while now either.

Whenever he had time, he would be locking himself in his office to work.

"So he's a changed man." Ryan sneered. "Is that why you see him differently now?"
