True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 181 Suspecting Pregnancy

Joey turned just in time to catch Isabella eyeing her stomach with a scheming look.

Joey stayed cool, raised an eyebrow, and smirked. "Don't worry, if I'm pregnant, you'll be the first to know. That's the best way to hurt you."

Isabella gritted her teeth. "Joey, why so smug? Remember, you and Sebastian are done. Keep your word. Mrs. Winters got whipped a hundred times because of you. If you come back, she won't let you off." Joey sneered, "Even if I don't come back, do you think Sebastian will choose you? He doesn't even wear clothes others have touched. You think he'd accept a woman who's been with someone else?" Isabella's face twisted with anger. "Even if I can't have him, neither will you!"

She stormed off.

Joey didn't leave the baby boutique. She picked out pajamas for Lydia.

As she left, Isabella returned and went straight to the boutique. "My sister liked the little clothes she bought earlier and wants another set."

The sales clerk smiled. "Your sister chose pink. I'll get you a white set; it looks cleaner."

She handed Isabella a set of white children's pajamas. Isabella relaxed when she saw the age range on the tag.

Leaving the store, Isabella called a number. "Mrs. Winters, Joey probably isn't pregnant. She was buying clothes for Tyler's daughter."

On the other end, Cordelia lay in bed, sweating from her wounds.

She gritted her teeth. "Good. Otherwise, my suffering would be for nothing."

Isabella's eyes reddened. "Mrs. Winters, you went through so much for me, but even if Sebastian and Joey broke up, he still wouldn't accept me."

I have a way to get you and Sebastian married. It can't be rushed; it has
