A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1505

Just before the banquet began, Zoe came to sit with Cordy.

"What are you doing here alone?" Quinn teased.

Zoe shrugged. "What's the issue?"

"Where's your baby boy?"

"Oh, my mom's taking care of him." Zoe waved her off. "All he does is eat and poop. Boring."

While Quinn appeared speechless, Zoe asked her, "Now, what about you?"

"What about me?" Quinn appeared bemused.

"That bun in your oven, I mean," Zoe said bluntly.

Clang.

Everyone turned to find that Sam had dropped his cup on the table, spilling tea all over.

Since the banquet had not started, he, Bob, and John were all drinking tea.

Still, Sam calmly picked up his cup again and pulled up some tissues, slowly wiping the puddle.

There was not much reaction on his face either, and he continued chatting with John and Bob, as if dropping his cup was a perfectly normal mistake.

"We're fine," Quinn said just then. "I used to feel so queasy, but I can now eat and sleep easily."

"Well, you've put on weight," Zoe said, studying her just then.

"Five pounds, I guess."

"That's still fine."

Zoe continued chatting with the women for a while. Then, Jay beckoned for her as the banquet started, since she was supposed to be on stage.

Things were quieter around the table after Zoe left, since John, Sam, and Bob were done reminiscing about the old days.

Quinn stood up, reacting for the teapot when Sam quickly took it and poured her a cup.

"Thank you," Quinn said politely.

Sam nodded, and silence ensued again.
