True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 269 Never Separate Again

Joyce lay in Sebastian's arms, crying softly. The pain was unbearable. Painkillers could offer relief, she knew, but a wall of worry always rose up, a barrier built of love and fear for her unborn child.

Sebastian kissed her tears, trying to comfort her. "When I'm hurt, your kisses help. I should give you some kisses." Joyce looked at him, doubtful. "Really?"

"Let's try. If it doesn't work, we'll find another way." He kissed her cheek, then her lips. "Remember our first kiss?"

Joyce's mind drifted back to three years ago, at sunset. She was watching Sebastian play golf, thinking about telling him she wanted to be his girlfriend. He walked over, and before she could speak, he pulled her into his arms with a towel. "Joyce, stay and be my girlfriend, okay?" he asked, his voice husky.

Her heart skipped a beat. She stared at him until his warm lips met hers, bringing her back to reality. "Stay, Joyce, please!" he whispered.

She clutched his shirt, her heart racing, and made a small sound in response. His kisses became more lingering.

Indulging in these kisses filled with love, Joyce forgot the pain. Her wish had come true; she married the man she loved.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, her voice soft. "Sebastian, we'll never be apart, right?"
