A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1485

Chapter 1485

Ryan froze-what was Sam getting at?

"You're doing all this because you want Quinn, no?" Sam said bluntly—it was pointless to run around in circles with him.

Ryan was actually surprised that Sam would be blunt too, completely refusing to play his game.

But that had always been Sam's style-he never considered the consequences with anything he did.

"I don't want Quinn—I just think you don't deserve her, and being with you is an insult to her," Ryan said with righteous indignation just then, as if he was right even if he was third- wheeling, even sabotaging someone else's marriage!

Sam did not argue-that would be pointless too.

No one could change Ryan's mind once he decided on something-if he believed that Sam did not deserve Quinn, then he did not.

At the same time, Ryan continued to disparage Sam, not sparing him any dignity. "I can give Quinn a better life. I don't mess around with other women like you-my heart is devoted to Quinn, and I've always made sure to keep myself chaste for her sake. On the other hand, you're filthy."

Sam certainly was, having been a philanderer for so long.

He was convinced he could change as the prodigal son saying goes, but it was only ever self-deceit.

"Then don't torment Quinn right now. Properly get better, and once you've recovered, I'll step aside," Sam said then, only giving Ryan a promise and never defending himself.

Ryan stared at him in disbelief-he was offering to give up on Quinn?!
