True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 174 Rival Confrontation

Sebastian's smile froze when he heard that. He leaned in and whispered to Leonard, "Who are you, and what's your deal with Joey?"

Leonard sipped his drink, smirking. "Take a guess."

Sebastian pressed his thigh against Leonard's leg, smiling but gritting his teeth. "I won't let you take Joey. She's mine."

"That depends if you can protect her. I promised her I'd always be there for her."

"Are you talking about those childhood promises? Joey's forgotten all about them. You're just fooling yourself." "Let's see if she remembers once I tell her who I really am."

Sebastian grabbed Leonard's wrist, eyes threatening. "Don't you dare."

They clinked glasses, tension thick in the air. Dinner seemed calm, but they were ready to rip each other apart.

Sebastian tried to get Leonard drunk, but Leonard could hold his liquor. Both drank a lot. Leonard was taken away by someone, and Joey helped Sebastian to his room.

The place was basic, no bath. Joey brought hot water to wipe Sebastian down. As she was about to leave, he grabbed her waist and pulled her onto the bed, kissing her fiercely.

Sebastian's breath was hot, giving Joey no time to react. The kiss was intense, with a strong scent of alcohol. Joey's breath was taken away, her mouth pried open. Her eyes became misty, and she felt a fiery heat, her consciousness fading. Sebastian's mind was filled with Leonard's words. He thought, 'She's my woman. Why does Leonard get to protect her?'

Thinking about the case involving Connie and possibly Cordelia, a sharp pain hit Sebastian's heart. He feared Joey would leave him when the truth came out.
