A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 1505

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.

Eventually, Sam asked, "You're pregnant?" "Yeah." "That was fast." He smiled, hiding his disappointment just then.

He did not expect Quinn to get pregnant so quickly.

He thought it would be after the wedding.

He had not even heard that Quinn and Ryan were married, though it was likely that they did not have a wedding.

Sam pursed his lips, refraining from thinking just then.

“why are you alone?" he asked.

"Where's Ryan?" "He returned to the capital," Quinn replied.

“He's recovered?" "Yeah.

He's making do with a prosthetic as well." Sam nodded in silence and asked after a while, "He's still that busy?" Should Ryan not be with her now that she was pregnant? Or could he not be bothered to

take time off to offer Quinn company? How could he be at ease, letting her walk around alone while pregnant? "Yeah, he's busy," Quinn said.

She did not complain, and Sam smiled faintly.

Maybe he was just overthinking —if Quinn could be understanding, he should too.

As silence ensued again, Quinn asked, "How are things abroad?" "Good,'' Sam said nonchalantly.

"Eating well, sleeping well." "Yeah." Quinn nodded, slowly asking, Have you gotten yourself a girlfriend?" "Do you think I lack women?" Sam asked vainly.

“I mean, a steady relationship," Quinn said, staring him in the eve.
