True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 173

Chapter 173 I Miss You

Joey stopped in her tracks, staring at the man's handsome face. "Mr. Guise, is that you?" she exclaimed.

Joey thought, 'Why does Leonard look so much like Sebastian? Even their builds and movements are similar.'

She had mistaken two unrelated people. If Sebastian found out, he'd be upset.

Leonard smiled gently. "I bought that land to build an eco-farm. I'm here to check it out."

Joey looked where Leonard pointed and saw a green lake.

She nodded. "This lake is surrounded by mountains, the environment is great, and the water is clean. You could develop water recreation projects here; it should be popular." Leonard chuckled. "You seem to know a lot."

"I worked on an eco-farm project with Sebastian, and it was similar."

At the mention of Sebastian, Leonard's eyes darkened. "You two... made up?"

Joey smiled and showed her ring. "He proposed. We were supposed to get our marriage certificate two days ago, but my great-grandfather fell, so we couldn't."

Leonard saw the sparkle in her eyes, just like when she was a child and found something she loved.

A trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes, and he forced a slight smile. "Joey, if Sebastian's mother hurt your family, would you still be with him?"

Joey's eyes widened. "Is my father's kidnapping related to her?"

Leonard pressed his lips together, looking at her with some heartache. "It probably is, but there's not enough evidence."

Joey bit her lip, her eyes tinged with red. "Even if it is, my father is fine. I won't hold it against Sebastian. He and his mother are different."

Leonard's expression grew deeper. He wanted to ask if she would mind if Sebastian's mother had killed her biological mother. But seeing Joey's trust in Sebastian, he didn't say it. The atmosphere grew tense. Suddenly, a dark figure lunged at Joey from behind.

Leonard reacted quickly, pulling Joey aside and kicking the dark figure in the stomach. It was a wild dog that often roamed the village.
