A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1492

Sam appeared nonchalant, but his fingers clenched on the steering wheel, revealing his emotion.

Still, he soon drove steadily into Saunders Mansion, and Quinn helped Ryan out of the car.

He was basically leaning his whole body against her, and they appeared intimate—even trained—probably because they were used to doing that.

Everyone headed to the drawing room, with Marvin and Lindsay feeling a little nostalgic.

It had been over two weeks since they had been home, and they did not really sleep soundly on a different bed—one always finds better comfort in their own bed.

That was why Marvin and Lindsay immediately went back to their rooms to sleep.

With Ryan saying he was tired as well, Quinn wheeled him to his room.

No one else was in the living room save for Sam, who sat there waiting.

He could have left, but he promised Ryan to wait since Quinn had something to say.

He kept waiting without knowing how long it would take—maybe she and Ryan were already asleep and would sleep all the way to the evening.

However, when Sam prepared himself to wait a day, he suddenly found Quinn coming down the stairs alone.

His heart raced as he straightened, his body stiffening.

Quinn calmly sat down beside Sam, but they were both awkwardly quiet—feeling neither like spouses nor family just then.

Sam suddenly thought that his life was as foolish as it was hilarious.

"What did you want to tell me?" he asked bluntly, not inclined to give himself hope.

He did not want to stay in the same room too long with Quinn either, in fear that he would regret it.
