True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 146 Going on a Date with Joey

Sebastian's eyes went from warm to icy in a flash. Just as he was about to grab the phone and hang up, he heard Joey softly say, "I have time. I'm off tomorrow. What does Mrs. Guise like to eat?

He smiled slightly. "Alright, you pick the place, and I'll come get you."

"No need, Mr. Guise. I can drive myself."

Leonard chuckled. "Joey, shouldn't you call me something else? 'Mr. Guise' sounds way too formal."
