True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 286 I Want to Kiss You

Water splashed everywhere as Sebastian stomped through the puddles, soaking his fancy, tailored pants.

Sebastian had never felt such a burning need to hold Joyce close. It was like he had walked through her past and finally got her. His love for her was on fire.

He sprinted to Joyce, his face drenched with rain or maybe sweat. He locked eyes with her, his voice rough and low. "Joyce."

Joyce's eyes were red, and she gently stroked his cheek with her slender hand. Her voice cracked, "Sebastian, I missed you so much."

Hearing that, Sebastian couldn't hold back anymore. He pulled Joyce into his arms, whispering over and over, "Joyce, I'm sorry."

He was sorry for all the chaos he brought into her life, sorry for not knowing she was Number 11. He felt unworthy of her deep love, having let her down so many times.

Joyce stroked his wet hair softly, her voice gentle. "Theodore was right. My mom would want me to be happy, and I'm only happy with you. So I want to treat you and Cordelia separately. She killed my mom, but you're the man I love, the father of my child, and the one I want to spend my life with."

Sebastian felt a sharp pain in his chest, making it hard to breathe. He was blown away by how much Joyce loved him and how quickly she came to this realization.

In their relationship, Joyce had always been the one to bend. She forgave him for not recognizing her and for his harsh demands. And now, she forgave him for having such a mother. From start to finish, Joyce's love for him was unbreakable. Sebastian slowly lifted his head, his cold hands cupping Joyce's cheeks. Tears filled his deep eyes. "Joyce, why are you so good to me? Why do you love me so much? I don't deserve it. You've given so much for me, but all I've brought you is pain."

"I thought about leaving you, thinking that if you weren't with me, you wouldn't face so many disasters. But I can't let go. You love me so much, how can I let go? I want to do everything I can to protect you and our baby." "Joyce, please believe in me one more time, okay?"
