True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 281 How to Face Sebastian

Cordelia was Connie's ride-or-die. Connie trusted her so much that before Joyce was even born, she arranged a marriage pact between Joyce and Sebastian. Why would she do this to Connie? She not only hooked up with Darren but also had a daughter with him. For the sake of their daughter's happiness, she threw away years of friendship and caused Connie's death. She even made Joyce live outside for so many years. Thinking about this, Joyce was already bawling. She once thought that no matter who the murderer was, she would find them and get revenge for Connie. But she never expected the murderer to be Cordelia, the mom of the guy she loved the most.

Sebastian's mom killed her mom; there was a blood feud between them. Joyce's body started shaking uncontrollably. Her heavy body slowly slid down to the floor along the edge of the bed. She kept murmuring, "Why is this happening?"

Only now did she get why Sebastian had been saying weird stuff to her lately. He said no matter what happened, she shouldn't leave him, and he would always love her. It turned out he knew the truth all along and was scared she would bounce because of it.

Joyce's tears fell drop by drop on her swollen belly. She reached out to gently stroke the baby inside, her voice choked with sobs, "Baby, what should I do?"

'I can pretend nothing happened, act like I don't know anything, and keep living with Sebastian. But can I and Sebastian still be happy? Will Mom forgive me? Mom died so unfairly, but I married and had kids with the son of her murderer.' Thinking of this, Joyce felt a splitting headache. She lay on the bed, sobbing quietly.

At this moment, she heard a knock on the door and Sebastian's anxious voice. "Joyce, open the door, let's talk, okay?"

Hearing his voice, Joyce's tears flowed even more fiercely. Her mind was in chaos; she didn't know how to face Sebastian or how to handle this mess.

She held back her grief and said softly to the door, "Sebastian, I need to be alone for a while."
