A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 1355

Lindsay stayed silent for a long while as she stared at Ryan.

He was certainly a good boy in everyone else's mind, never once causing them worry ever since he was a child—always hard working and striving to do his best.

On the other hand, they had to scold Sam ever since he was a kid. It was always a mystery how another child from the same parents could never excel like Ryan.

But now, she was at a loss.

Had they idealized Ryan so much that even a slight flaw seemed unacceptable?

Nonetheless, she said, "Ryan, you should stop trying to force Quinn to come back to you."

Ryan's soft gaze turned sharp right then, and he glared at Lindsay incredulously. "What are you talking about, Mom?! How is this forcing?! Don't you know that Quinn has always loved me?! I would've married her that day if my hand wasn't forced!"

"What's passed has passed…"

"Which is why I wanted to correct that mistake," Ryan growled indignantly.

Lindsay sighed. "I said it has passed—I didn't say it was a mistake. Quinn and Sam's marriage is reality, and they'll slowly make progress for the better. We should be giving them our blessing instead of trying to force them apart like you are."

"Why are you siding with him too?!" Ryan glared icily at Lindsay.

Lindsay actually felt like she did not know Ryan just then—he was certainly a far cry from the gentle boy he was.

Was it because he had long since left them?

Nonetheless, she said, "I'm not siding with anyone. Right now, I just want you to accept reality—it was over the day you left Quinn at the altar."

And now, she was working hard to make her marriage with Sam work and to build a little family.

That is why Ryan should not meddle right now.

Even so, Ryan growled coldly and finally gave up on caring as he said what was on his mind for years.

"No. She and I would've been fine if you and Dad didn't force her to marry Sam!"

Lindsay was left staring at Ryan. "Do you hate me for that?"

"No, I don't," Ryan retorted, his tone remaining staunch as ever. "But I really think you and Dad shouldn't have pushed her to marry someone she doesn't love for the sake of dignity. You ruined her happiness—that's much worse than being single."
