A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1503

Sam returned to the country six months later.

Saunderia's foreign branch was developing smoothly, and everything was on the right track.

Still, Sam returned only to attend the celebration of Zoe's son's birth, not because he missed home.

Time flies—Zoe was still heavily pregnant when he left, and the baby was three months old now.

Sam headed home first without telling anyone when he came back—it was dusty since it was vacant for a while, so he had cleaners tidy up the place.

He lay on the familiar bed, alone in the house.

That night, he loved the woman he held most dear, but it was nothing more than history.

He would have worked hard to forget if he had not returned, and he had no idea if he succeeded.

Still, it had been six months since he and Quinn spoke—there were times when his parents spoke to him through video call from Saunders Mansion. However, it was usually night and Quinn did not show up, though Sam occasionally would catch a glimpse of her.

Sam tossed around—the celebration for Zoe's baby was tomorrow, and he would probably be drinking with Johnny and the boys.

It had been a while since he did, and he wondered if he could still hold his liquor.

Either way, he just needed some rest, and he would be ready for anything.

He woke up very early the next morning.

His biological clock somehow took after his parents' before he knew it—he never usually stayed up late and would wake up early in the morning.

Dressing up smartly, he brought along the presents he prepared and left at the right time—neither too late nor too early, going with the flow.
