A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) -
Chapter 1501
Chapter 1501
Everything went smoothly this time.
When Sam and Quinn stepped out, they each carried their divorce certificate.
Ryan walked up to Quinn in crutches, asking, “Is it done?”
“Yeah,” Quinn replied.
She held out the papers, which Ryan hurriedly snatched to read, smiling after he did.
He was worried something unexpected would happen—that was why he followed Quinn here.
If anything, he did not expect things to go this smoothly.
Sam and Quinn did not say a word to each other either, and they were done soon after they got inwithout dragging their feet.
Did they really feel nothing for each other? Was that why they split up so quickly? Or did somethinghappen between them?
Either way, Ryan was satisfied as long as they were divorced -he could be with
Quinn out in the open now. Moreover, he was confident that Quinn would return to him soon without Samtying herdown.
As they stepped out of the civil bureau, Ryan even called out to Sam, “Why haven’t you come homelately even after our parents called? Are you that busy?”
“Yeah,” Sam replied.
“You shouldn’t neglect family even if you are busy-you have to separate work and personal life,” Ryanlectured him right then with the bearing of seniority.
Sam stayed silent in turn—did Ryan forget that he was the one who did not return home for months oryears while working at the capital, while their parents would not call him for fear that they would disturbhim at work?
It seemed to Ryan that everyone was actually idling despite having work to do, with him being theexception because his work mattered the most.
At the same time, Ryan continued, “Just call ahead of time once you’re free to come home. I’ll have thekitchen cook your favorites—”
“I’ll be abroad for a while,” Sam said, cutting Ryan short.
Ryan did a double take. “What?”
Sam shrugged. “Didn’t Dad tell you?”
“What are you talking about?” Ryan was totally bemused.
Quinn was staring at Sam as well, and he said nonchalantly,” The new energy car project is boominglocally, and Damian Craig has been insisting that we can expand our market abroad, even establish abranch for Saunderia in Minerva. I’ve told Dad that I’ll be going.”
Ryan was actually shocked that Sam was going abroad and turned to see that Quinn was unaware aswell.
He actually thought she would, only to see that miserable smile on her face. So Sam was so thoroughabout cutting ties.
Ryan then asked, “What will happen to the company when you go abroad?”
“Dad will take the reins. He’s much better now, and Saunderia’s operations are back on track,” Samreplied. “You could work in his place if you’ve somehow found your conscience too—he’s of retirementage, after all.”
“I have my own career,” Ryan refused right away. “I’m only on medical leave, and I’ll be back doing myresearch when I’m better. My work is different from yours.”
“Yeah, you’re noble,” Sam scoffed, though it somehow sounded self deprecating. “The rest of us are alljust stinking business folk.”
“There’s no need to go that far-we simply pursue different things,” Ryan said, quickly changing thesubject as he detected Sam’s hostility. “When are you leaving?”
“Tomorrow.”
“What?” Ryan exclaimed in surprise-he thought it would be in a few months, at least. Who would leavethe country on a whim?
“My flight’s early tomorrow, in fact,” Sam added. “What’s the hurry?”
