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? I can help pick a restaurant." Leonard smiled. "You're so thoughtful. Aren't you worried my mom will really like you?"

"Isn't that the plan? For her to like me and reject the arranged marriage? Don't worry, I'll do my best," Joey replied, stirring the pasta.

Leonard sighed. His little shadow didn't remember him at all. She wasn't the girl who used to call him brother. She was now a mature, independent woman.

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."

Joey paused. "Then how about Leonard?"

"Call me Leo. That's what my family calls me. It sounds more personal."

Joey felt awkward. She'd never called a man so intimately before, not even Sebastian. She hesitated. "Alright, I'll help you out."

They agreed on the time and place and hung up.
