A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 1299

Bob asked Sam just then, "Why don't you leave with her?"

Sam ignored him and kept clinking glasses or chatting with the many guests in the hall.

Bob smiled, speechless.

Sam was certainly good at pretending, but how long would that last?

After Quinn returned to her room, she removed her makeup, took a bath, and got dressed in casual clothing before

laying down on the huge, luxurious hotel bed.

She was obviously exhausted but somehow could not fall asleep as she was wondering where Sam would be staying

tonight.

She had checked the lodging records, and this room was allocated to her and Sam.

Did that mean they are sharing the room again? In that case, when would he return?

Her heart palpitated, and she simply could not fall asleep.

She got out of bed to get a glass of water before sitting on the chaise lounge beside the glass wall to take in the

stunning nightscape of the capital.

One would expect nothing less from the heart of a nation-even late into the night, it was illuminated with

mesmerizing myriad colored radiance.

Quinn was left dazzled by the sight when her phone jingled with a notification.

She tapped on it, pausing for a moment, surprised that Ryan would suddenly text her.

[I heard you're in the capital, Quinn?]

[Yeah. Cordy's second wedding is being held here.]

[When are you going back?]

[Probably tomorrow-it's too late tonight. Honestly, Cordy and John are so tactless. They bailed on us fortheir

honeymoon.]

Ryan sent a few laughing emojis in reply. [I saw that on the news. It certainly is... . By the way, if you have time

tomorrow, I can take you shopping. You rarely come here, after all.]

He had been moved to the capital over a year ago. Although he moved back to North City, he was so good in his

work that he was transferred back to the headquarters, becoming a member of the nation's core researchers.

His parents’ faces always lit up with pride-their eldest son was dedicated to his service for the country, after all.

Likewise, they would tacitly avoid the subject of Sam, having given up on him completely.

Nonetheless, Quinn replied: [Let me ask Sam if he's free tomorrow.]

Ryan's reply came a little late. [Why don't I call him instead? He’d listen to me.]

[Okay.]

[I'll text you after I speak to him.]

Quinn put away her phone, taking a deep breath and continuing to look out at the city skyline beyond.

She used to love Ryan-he was like a brother to her, doting on her and offering her warmth.

On the other hand, Sam was despicable-bullying her since she was a child, persistently gaining pleasure from

making her cry.

Later on, the Saunders took her in after her parents died in an accident. Concerned that she did not feel like she

belonged, they even arranged for her to marry into the family.

She was sure that she would be marrying Ryan, since her parents and his were always joking about it. They could

also tell that she and Ryan were close, while she was basically enemies with Sam.

However, on the day when they were supposed to be married...
