A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1459

Sam said, "There's no misunderstanding. I have behaved questionably—I suddenly just came around."

"How? Because your father was hospitalized?"

"Yes, it certainly was a huge blow," Sam said earnestly. "Even as a child, I always thought of him as a titan—a hero who would pillar the family. It never crossed my mind that he would age or get sick, and that one day, it would be up to me to do the same."

Marvin was listening nearby and clearly touched by Sam's words.

He was certainly rejoicing—he never imagined that Sam would become such a good son.

"Also, there's also my wife, Quinn," Sam said.

As he turned toward her, she was actually surprised to suddenly be named.

Still, Sam continued, "She helped me a lot, standing by my side as I took over management of Saunderia and resolved the problems that the company faced without complaint. I had a temper, but she'd tolerate and encourage me. Her contribution was necessary for me to calm down and focus on my work."

Quinn's heart was racing—she did not expect Sam to praise her in front of so many journalists.

"But there have been rumors that your marriage is on the rocks and your relationship is strained."

"Certainly not," Sam said confidently. "Things are going well between us. I won't deny that I've misbehaved constantly in the past and caused our marriage to be strained, and that's on me. However, I no longer behave that way now."

"Are you taking a U-turn and declaring your affection for Mrs. Saunders now?" another journalist teased.

Sam did not argue and actually blushed just then.

The journalists were all stunned—when the paparazzi took photos of him, he would verbally or physically attack them… When did he become so shy?!

Quinn was left emotional by Sam's words and actually decided to not hold his recent distant behavior against him, including the fact that they had yet to do the deed.

"By the way, why isn't Ryan Saunders around? Isn't he coming back?" another journalist suddenly said then. "Mr. and Mrs. Saunders really offered him to the nation, huh?"
