True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 183 Spending New Year with You

When Joey woke up, it was pitch dark.

Half-asleep, she thought she smelled Sebastian and heard his voice. She even dreamed of kissing him.

"How much do I miss him to dream like this?" Her longing for Sebastian made her heart ache.

Joey placed her hands on her belly, thinking, "Baby, once you're born, let's celebrate New Year's with your dad, okay?"

Sebastian walked in and saw Joey's tear-filled eyes. He gently wiped her tears with his cool fingers. "Joey, why are you crying? Do you miss me?"

Joey's eyes flew open, meeting Sebastian's loving gaze.

Her heart tightened. She hoarsely called out, "Sebastian."

Sebastian caressed her cheek, his voice husky. "I'm here. I came to spend New Year's with you."

She jolted up from the couch, staring at him in a daze. "When did you get here?"

Noticing she was covered with his coat, she wondered, 'Was that kiss real or just a dream?'
