Quinn certainly never knew what it was about Ryan that irked her.His success certainly could not be denied—he was the best of the best, and even the nation wanted his service.It was not as if he was unmatched, but he appeared haughty nonetheless.He belittled businessmen, considering them greedy and money-grubbing—that was why he was told his parents that he would not inherit the family business.And when he socialized, he would only be flexing his knowledge, demonstrating his excellence almost by reflex.When one put all those into consideration, the man was certainly vain—so much so that Quinn got sick of it now.At the same time, Zoe elaborated on the various traumas Ryan left her with. "I mean, he refused to join us when we were playing as children, but he would stay nearby, making sure we could see him practicing programming on his phone. When we watch variety shows, he'd say they were fake and only people with low IQ would like them. Even when we're having snacks, he woul

"Congratulations!" Jay quickly said, worried that his wife would blurt something astounding again.The others promptly congratulated John and Cordy as well, while Bob could not help teasing, "Impressive, Johnny—it's been a while, but you still got it! Sam, on the other hand, hasn't had much luck even after all these years. I'm starting to wonder if there are issues…""Shut your trap!" Sam huffed. "I'm fit as a fiddle!""Really?" Bob raised a brow in contempt. "Shut it!" Sam snorted, speechless. "You're one to talk, still single after all these years! I at least have a wife, while you have nothing!""What?!" Bob was dumbstruck. "You're the worst off among us four," Sam added.Bob could have a stroke right then. "Shut up and drink! I won't rest until you're drunk!""We don't know who'd be the last one standing!"The others ignore the two men, who were in their thirties but as petty as children.They were used to it anyway.As Zoe calmed down as well, she could not help askin

"Oh, so Quinn's getting ready," Zoe teased.Quinn smiled shyly, while Cordy said, "You should plan sooner if you're sure, Quinn. Don't hesitate.""Yeah, I know."On the other hand, Zoe felt that they had to drink something to make it a proper dinner."Since we're not boozing given our unique circumstances, let's stick to water. Here's to our…" She paused for a moment before continuing. "Smooth delivery? Though there's no telling when Quinn will get down to business!""Then let's drink to our wishes coming true," Cordy offered."You're ready for the cultured one, Cordy," Zoe giggled. "May our wishes come true, and may we stay as besties for life, even until our teeth fall off!"Cordy and Quinn raised their glasses, genuinely feeling fortunate that they could meet such loyal friends they share so much in common with.-The dinner lasted for quite a while, and the men boozed much longer than that.Cordy, Zoe, and Quinn left the table, heading to the living room to watch TV and c

After Sam left, Zoe was about to head to the washroom to bring Jay a wet towel when the man suddenly sat up on bed."Zoe," he called out."You're up? Does it hurt? You drank a lot," Zoe asked in concern."Nope. I was never drunk," Jay replied.Zoe gaped. "Really?""Of course.""Then you…""Yeah," Jay admitted."You're ruthless, you know that? It's your brother from another mother out there.""Who's going to take care of you if I'm drunk?" Jay said as if it was only natural. "Your belly is swelling, y'know."Zoe stroked her own stomach just then, feeling touched. "You did that for me?""Why else would I do it?"Feeling warm in her heart, Zoe said, "Once I squeeze this one out, I'll get properly drunk with your friends."Jay was left speechless.-Sam and Bob were drinking happily in the living room.Quinn did not hurry them and killed time watching TV on the couch.With Cordy leaving and Zoe taking care of Jay, she had no idea how long Sam and Bob were drinking. If anyt

Sam returned to his room once he took his phone, not offering any explanation.Quinn was left staring as he left miserably—they had just made up for a couple days, and Sam had already lost interest?!She sat alone in the living room, picking up her phone and texted Zoe and Cordy.[Are you two busy?]It took Cordy a long while to reply. [Not really. What's up, Quinn?]Quinn was left staring at her phone, unsure what to say.How? Things were just fine with Sam last night but were back on square one today.Cordy pressed: [Quinn?] Zoe showed up too. [What's up, Quinn?]Quinn hesitated for a moment but eventually typed: [I think Sam's cheating on me again.]Zoe sent a vomiting emoji, while Cordy sent a question mark.Quinn elaborated: [I was staying home with Sam today to improve our relationship, but he's been on his phone the whole day, even during lunch. Not only is he laughing from time to time, but he snapped at me when I picked up his phone—he's obviously worried that I'd
