Chapter 1425
"Cordy's back?" Quinn was obviously excited. "Of course I'm coming! It's been so long—we have to thank John and
her for helping us so much this time."
"Yeah. Well be having dinner at Jay’s place," Sam said. "He can't really move around much, and Zoe's pregnant-it'll
be more convenient for them."
"Okay. Just call me when you're leaving work—I'll help your mom for your dad's birthday banquet."
"Yeah." Sam nodded.
After breakfast, they went their separate ways, with Quinn heading straight to Saunders Mansion.
As soon as she entered the drawing room, she found Ryan seated alone at the couch.
Naturally, she was obviously a little nervous about the sudden encounter, especially since they were alone.
Ryan stared at her for a long while and eventually asked," Are you here to see my mom?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Yeah." Quinn nodded. "Are you staying here?"
"What, you'd rather I be gone?" Ryan scoffed.
"No, but you were always busy with work before," Quinn explained.
"I was busy with my research before, but the research center is less busy these days with most agendas on the
right track. If
"I see." Quinn nodded again.
Sensing how distant she was, he took a deep breath and asked, "Where's Sam?"
"At work.”
Ryan frowned. "On a Saturday?"
"There's still a lot going on at Saunderia, so it's six working days for the time being," Quinn replied, though Sam had
not been taking Sundays off for a while now either.
Whenever he had time, he would be locking himself in his office to work.
"So he's a changed man." Ryan sneered. "Is that why you see him differently now?"
"I don't know," Quinn replied, shaking her head. "You can never get a read on such things."
'You can never get a read on such things, and you're kneedeep in love before you know it.'
On the other hand, Ryan's eyes flared with rage-she actually did fall for Sam!
At this point, if he still believed that Quinn was with Sam out of a petty sense for retaliation, he would really be lying
to himself!
As the air stiffened in the silence, Lindsay appeared at the stairs.
"Oh, Quinn. You're here," she called out warmly when she saw Quinn.
"Yes. Is everything ready?'
"Of course. Let's go," Lindsay said, walking to Quinn's side and taking her hand.
Having grown up with the Saunders, Quinn always was close with Lindsay, and they looked more like a happy pair of
mother and daughter than in-laws.

He then scowled, seeing that both Lindsay and Quinn appeared surprised. "What, you don't want me around?"
"Aren't you busy?" Lindsay asked-in their minds, Ryan never had time.
"It's Dad's birthday. I have to do something even if I'm busy," Ryan replied. "Also, I'm here for the next couple of
days-l'm only going back to the capital on Monday."
Lindsay was hesitant, since she knew how things were between Quinn and Ryan.
Ryan, however, did not give her the chance to refuse and turned toward Quinn. "Your car keys."
"What?"
"Car keys-l'm driving," Ryan said slowly and clearly. "You're a bad driver."
Quinn glanced at Lindsay in turn, who ultimately nodded.
They never said no to Ryan ever since he was a child, since they were all convinced of his tact and wit. He would
never put them on the spot, which was why they grew to respect and tolerate him.
And now, Lindsay could not say no no matter how much she wanted to.
