True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 339 Hiding Something from Her

Ryan's words were so full of emotion and mystery that for a second, Joyce thought he might be Sebastian.

But once she got a good look at Ryan's face, that thought disappeared.

Right then, Joyce's phone rang.

Seeing it was Paxon, she picked up right away.

Her usually cold face softened into a gentle smile.

Her voice got a bit softer too, "Hey, baby."

Hearing her call him baby, Paxon kicked his little legs excitedly on the bed.

He grinned and said, "Aunt Joyce, don't forget, tomorrow's my birthday. I want you to be the first to celebrate with me."

Joyce smiled, "Of course I remember. I'll be there first thing in the morning. What do you want as a gift?"

Paxon's bright eyes darted around, then he said, "I want you to bring that handsome guy with you, can you?"

Joyce immediately looked at Ryan, "Which person are you talking about?"

"The handsome guy we saw at the hospital last time. I'm telling you, he's amazing, like he has magic and can change faces." Joyce didn't take Paxon's words seriously, thinking it was just a kid's playful talk.

She smiled and said, "I'll ask him. If he's free, I'll bring him along."

Paxon mischievously smiled, "If you want to bring him, he'll definitely be free. Didn't you notice he's pursuing you?" This made Joyce feel a bit amused and exasperated.

Were kids these days really this smart?

Paxon could even see through that?

At that moment, Ryan accidentally took the phone from Joyce's hand, his voice warm and pleasant.

"If you hang up now and let me have a nice meal with your Aunt Joyce, I'll come with her tomorrow." Hearing this, Paxon immediately jumped up from the bed.

He excitedly bounced on the bed, "Are you serious? Lying will make your nose grow long, you know."

Ryan laughed, "Not only will I come to your birthday party, but I'll also take you and your Aunt Joyce to the amusement park. How about that?"
