A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 1500

At that very moment, Quinn spotted a glass of water and a pill.

There was a note under it that read ‘morning after pill’. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Quinn stared at the pill and the glass, understanding how it felt to have her parade rained on just then.

Her chest ached, but Sam’s meaning was clear-last night was just a moment of impulsiveness between two adults.

No responsibility would be taken, no sentiment would be retained.

Quinn picked up the pill and laughed miserably.

Quinn only returned to Saunders Mansion at noon.

Her phone was out of juice as well, so she had no idea how many times Ryan would have called her by now.

As soon as she stepped inside the drawing room, she found Ryan glowering at her, clearly angry.

On the other hand, both Lindsay and Marvin were clearly concerned. “Where have you been, Quinn? Why did you turn off your phone? We called Zoe, who said you left with Sam, but Sam said you weren’t with him when we called him.

Where did you go? Are you alright?!”

Quinn stared at them and shook her head. “I’m fine. I was just drunk and stayed the night at Sam’s.”

At her words, Ryan immediately snapped, “What did you promise me, Quinn?! But you’d stay the night at Sam’s?!”

“What did I promise you?” Quinn shot back.

Ryan was left fuming but could not manage a word.

It was only natural he could not since he was the one coercing her.

Quinn then continued bluntly, “Sam and I aren’t divorced yet. Whatever we did, it was perfectly legal.”

“But-“

“Anything else can wait after the divorce,” Quinn said flatly.” I’m tired. I’m going back to my room.”

She strode upstairs right then, ignoring the fact that Ryan was seething.

She lay in bed and stared at the ceiling, her body and soul weary while a trail of tears rolled down the corner of her eyes.

She tossed around, clutching her blanket and doing her best to sleep.

It probably would not hurt so much after she had her sleep.

It was night when she woke up, and she tossed around, ready to get up when a voice suddenly spoke in her room.” You’re awake?”

Quinn jumped-it was Ryan’s voice!

She turned and saw that Ryan had entered her room without her knowing!

“What are you doing here?!” she demanded, remembering that she had locked her door from the inside!

“Does that matter?”

“Of course!”

“No, it doesn’t,” Ryan snapped. “What matters is that you promised to date me, but you ended up messing around with Sam.”

“Sam and I are legally-“

“I forgive you this once. This must never happen again.”

Ryan continued, not letting her speak and started to wheel himself out. “It’s time for dinner. I’ll wait for you downstairs.”

Quinn stared at Ryan coolly as he left with indescribable stress and indignation!

Five days later, the cooldown period was officially over.

Quinn once again headed to the civil bureau with Ryan in tow.

Ryan was naturally with her, but unlike before, he got out of the car and stayed with her as she and Sam filed their divorce paperwork.

It was actually the first time Quinn and Sam were meeting since the other night.

She had been waiting for something-anything-from him.

All she got was a text last night that said: [Tomorrow, the civil bureau, 9 AM.]
