Chapter 109 Face-to-Face Provocation
Sebastian felt like he'd been punched in the chest when he saw Joey, making it hard to breathe.
The streetlights reflected in his eyes, amplifying his pain.
He didn't even notice the cigarette burning his fingers.
He just stared at Joey, afraid she'd vanish if he blinked.
He wanted to ask if she'd had another nightmare and comfort her.
The more he wanted to, the more his heart ached.
Without realizing it, he clenched the burning cigarette butt in his hand.
The sharp pain brought him back to reality.
He grabbed his phone to text Joey, but then remembered she'd blocked him.
When he looked up again, Joey was gone.
He leaned against the car, accidentally setting off the alarm.
Joey sat dazed on the sofa, tears streaming down her cheeks.
The more she thought about Sebastian, the more it hurt.
She thought being called a caged bird after seven years of love and three years together was the worst.
But Sebastian's constant indulgence of Isabella hurt her more.
Joey curled up on the sofa, hugging Baxter tightly.
Baxter's soft fur slowly warmed her cold body.
