True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 307 I Couldn't Bear to Leave You

Sebastian read the report over and over, his eyes glued to the last line: [Confirm parentage.]. He couldn't believe it.

He was Elise's kid, not Cordelia's. The realization hit him hard, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest as tears filled his eyes.

Sebastian pulled Joyce into a tight hug, his voice breaking. "Joyce, I'm not Cordelia's son. My mom is Ms. Guise. There's no more bad blood between our moms."

Joyce felt her heart ache hearing this. She had forgiven Sebastian long ago, but she knew he still carried a heavy burden of guilt.

She gently stroked his head and whispered, "Now that we know the truth, you don't have to feel guilty anymore. We need to save Ms. Guise. She's been through so much and doesn't deserve any more suffering." Sebastian nodded, his eyes determined. "I know, Joyce. Thank you."

"So, what's our next move?"

"I need to go back to the company and keep up the act with Leonard. I have to make it look like I'm losing. The Winters Family's rules are strict. This way, Kevin will think we haven't figured out the secret about Cordelia and Ms. Guise." "Alright, be careful."
