True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 124 Farewell to Old Love

Sebastian rushed in and hugged Joey tightly.

"Joey, please, give me another chance. I promise I'll treat you right this time," he pleaded, his voice full of pain.

Sebastian, usually so proud, found it hard to apologize. But now, with tears in his eyes, he begged Joey for another shot.

Joey bit her lip, trying to stay calm. "Sebastian, you have no idea how much it hurt when Isabella came back. You left me for her so many times, even when I needed you most.

I kept giving you chances, breaking my own boundaries. But when I realized our relationship was just about sex and not love, my heart broke.

Three years ago, I came to you full of dreams about love, ignoring everyone's warnings and giving up everything.

You'll never understand that passion, but you kept choosing someone else over me.

No matter how much someone loves you, after so much disappointment and hurt, they have to protect themselves.

I can't go through that again. I just want a peaceful life. Please, let me go. Give me my freedom, and let's stay out of each other's lives."

Joey's voice was calm, without emotion, but to Sebastian, it felt like knives stabbing his chest.

He could hear her resolve and feel her indifference.

How deeply had she been hurt to let go so calmly?

Sebastian closed his eyes in pain, struggling to speak. After a long pause, he finally said, "Joey, if I let go of Isabella, will you give me another chance?"

Joey's voice was faint. "Sebastian, the problem isn't Isabella, it's you. If you loved me enough, you wouldn't doubt me or leave me. From the start, it wasn't that I didn't want you; it was that you had already left me, right?" When she called him after her miscarriage and he accused her of being unreasonable, he had already abandoned her.

She had tried to keep up with him, but his repeated hurts had pushed her into an abyss.

These painful memories, Joey would never forget.

She slowly pulled away from Sebastian, walked to the door, and opened it. "Leave, and don't come back. Since I plan to be with Julian, I shouldn't have anything to do with you. It's not fair to him." Sebastian's face turned pale, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at her.

He wanted to see sadness or reluctance in Joey's face, but all he saw was relief and calm.

This was what made him most desperate.

Just as Alexander had warned him, once a woman decides to leave, you can't win her back no matter what you do.

Joey was like that now.

Sebastian's hands clenched into fists at his sides. His Adam's apple bobbed a few times before he finally said, "Joey, I'll make you see I'm the only one who truly loves you."

He stared at Joey for a long moment before finally leaving. As the door closed, Joey felt all her strength drain away. She collapsed to the ground, her face wet with tears.

She had finally ended her past relationship and was ready to start anew. She didn't know if she'd find happiness with Julian, but she was determined to cut ties with Sebastian. She wouldn't be a woman torn between two men. Sebastian didn't know how he got home. His mind was filled with Joey's cold attitude. 'She really doesn't want me anymore. She really doesn't love me. I've completely lost her,' he thought.

The next morning, Dominic walked in and was shocked by the scene. Sebastian was sitting on the floor in a dark room, the curtains drawn tight. The only light came from a faint blue computer screen, making Sebastian's face look even paler. He sat there, staring at photos and videos of Joey. They were from their outings, made into a little movie by Joey. Back then, her eyes were full of stars. She'd always ask, "Sebastian, will you always love me like this? Will we never be apart?" He'd answer casually, never thinking about a future with any woman.

Dominic picked up the empty bottles and cigarette butts on the floor, sighing softly. "Mr. Winters, if you had known this would happen, would you have done it in the first place? You didn't listen to me, and now you've lost her." Trying to be 'considerate,' Dominic said, "Mr. Winters, don't be too sad. You have to bear the consequences of your mistakes. After a while, when Ms. Blackwood and Mr. Knight get married, you'll let it go."

Sebastian's bloodshot eyes glared at him like a demon. Dominic, scared, stopped joking and handed him an envelope. "Mr. Winters, there's news from Country F. This is the information I found."

Sebastian took the envelope and looked at the photos inside. The dead look in his eyes brightened. His furrowed brows relaxed. He gently touched Joey's image on the screen, his voice hoarse. "Joey, I'll make you see who truly loves you the most."

He turned off the computer, putting away his sadness. "Take a blood sample for testing, and make it quick," he ordered.
