True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 153 A Heartfelt Confession

Sebastian pulled Joey out through the back gate of the campus, passing the alley where the incident happened three years ago.

The alley was still rundown, with stray cats occasionally meowing. Flickering streetlights cast long shadows.

Joey, uneasy about the place, clung to Sebastian's arm. "Sebastian, why did you bring me here?" she asked nervously.

Sebastian's handsome face looked even more defined in the dim light, his deep eyes glimmering. He smiled softly at Joey. "Joey, I never knew what it meant to be moved. I thought my feelings for you were just physical. It was only after you left that I realized I had fallen for you when we first met here. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you stay and take care of me.

I never believed in lasting love because of my parents, so I buried my feelings for you. The harsher I was to you, the more it hurt me. You taught me what love is and how happy it can be to love and be loved.

I spent three years learning to love, but I caused you a lot of pain because I didn't know how. If I could turn back time, I'd restart our story here. This time, let me fall in love with you first. I won't hurt you again, and I won't lose our child. Joey, can we start over?"

His eyes were full of affection, and his voice was magnetic. He gently brushed her cheek, his fingers lingering on her warm earlobe.

His actions were seductive, making Joey's body tremble slightly, her heartbeat quickening.

She looked up at Sebastian, feeling his hot breath and deep gaze. Everything was happening so fast, leaving her at a loss.

She could handle the cold and ruthless Sebastian, and the scheming and domineering one. But this affectionate and seductive Sebastian was new to her.

Seeing her panicked eyes, Sebastian smiled and kissed her. "Don't be afraid. This time, let me take the lead. Just enjoy my love for you."

He captured her lips in a gentle, lingering kiss, making Joey lose her reason. Her small hands wrapped around his neck.
