    Meanwhile, Quinn entered Ryan’s car.


    She did not actually ask him toe—he just happened to call her to consult her on a legal issue.


    She asked if it was urgent, to which he said yes.


    She in turn told him where he was and asked for a ride.


    Her face was pale, and she was shivering even as she got in his car.


    “Still feeling cold?’ Ryan asked-the weather was turning warm, but one would still find it chilly on


    asion.

    And when he helped her into his car, she felt icy to the touch.


    “I’m fine,” Quinn forced a smile as she looked up at Ryan. “Sorry for taking so much of your time.”


    “Don’t say things like that. I was going to your office to consult you today anyway and called you before


    that since you might not be in,” Ryan said mildly, trying his best not to put Quinn on the spot. ‘By the


    way, were you having a fight with Sam? Was he the one who left you in the middle of nowhere?”


    “I guess,” Quinn replied indifferently.


    “How could he behave like this?” Ryan grumbled, scowling just then. “I have to talk to himter. Even if


    he’s upset, he shouldn’t have left you out there. What if something happened to you? He’s always been


    so headstrong even as a child, never once thinking about others. The family really spoiled him too


    much, making his personality so terrible…’


    Quinn listened as Ryanined in silence.


    “It’s really been hard on you after you married him/ Ryan said sympathetically. “Back then, if I hadn’t-“


    “No, it’s fine,” Quinn said, cutting him short. “I’m actually grateful to him. I wouldn’t be staying with your


    family and living in luxury if not for him.”


    Ryan’s eyes darkened, but he shed a wistful smile and murmured, “Yeah.”


    In the end, he was the one who let her down, and he had no right toin.


    Meanwhile, back at the courthouse, Cordy suddenly found herself alone with John, and they simply


    stood, staring into each other’s eyes.


    Soon, Cordy found her own eyes welling with tears.


    Never did it cross her mind that her emotions would be so affected when she met him again with such


    freedom.


    It had also been a while since her heart raced out of control.


    She tried her damndest to y down all sentiments and rtionships after Kyle because she did not


    want to get hurt at all or believe in anyone.


    And yet, it was John-a man she met less than a year ago-who allowed her to let go of all her misgivings


    and fall in love so hard she could not control herself.


    And she was so, so in love!


    More tears were welling in her eyes even as she looked at him, blurring her vision until she could not


    stop herself, and she ran up to him, throwing herself in his arms.


    “Oof,” he grunted softly.


    Wait, did that hurt him?


    But she had been careful! She tried to hold back, since she was afraid she would knock him down


    when she threw herself at him.


    But it hurt him anyway?


    What did they put him through at the detention center?!


    Cordy’s heart ached even more at that.


    She regretted not trusting him and having to push him away.


    If she had stayed with him, he would at least have felt better.


    Even as she remembered everything she had done for him, she could not help tightening her embrace


    around him, giving in just then…
