True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 123 She Doesn't Want Him

Julian's heartfelt confession left Joey moved. She'd always admired him, and knowing he'd liked her for years made it even more touching. She wasn't sure how to repay such deep affection.

With a slight smile and a hoarse voice, Joey said, "Julian, you know my health issues. The chances of me getting pregnant are slim. I might never be a mom."

Julian replied, "I like you for who you are, not whether you can have kids. Can you give me a chance? Date me for a while, and I'll make you fall in love with me too."

His gentle voice and deep affection were clear as he nervously clenched his fists. Despite rehearsing his words countless times, he was still anxious.

Joey couldn't refuse. Julian had always been there for her. She bit her lip and said, "Julian, I take relationships seriously. Once I start, I'm all in. Just promise to be honest with me. I can handle a breakup, but not deceit or betrayal." Julian's eyes welled up with emotion. He blinked several times before asking, "Joey, are you saying I can pursue you?"

Joey nodded. "I want to give us a chance."

"Thank you, Joey," Julian said, excited and unsure what to do next. The girl he'd liked for seven years finally agreed to let him pursue her. It was the first step towards success.

During dinner, Julian raised his glass. "Mr. Blackwood, Joey agreed to let me pursue her. I'll treat her well and never let her down."
