True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 214 Shameless

Hearing the name, Derek froze. Kyle was the Winters Family's butler and the only one who died in that fire.

"How does Elise know him? And why does she remember that fire so well?" Derek looked at Elise, stunned. "Do you remember anything else besides Kyle?"

Elise shook her head. "I don't remember him, but I call his name in my nightmares. I think he saved me in a fire."

"But only Kyle was in that fire. The surveillance showed only him going in," Derek said, feeling uneasy. If Elise was also in that fire, it wasn't just an accident-it was arson.

Leonard chimed in, "The footage only showed Kyle, but a week earlier, around 2 PM, there's a ten-minute gap in the footage."

Derek frowned. "You think your mom was locked in then?"

Leonard nodded. "It's possible."

"But a week earlier, the Winters Family was in crisis. Sebastian and his mom were kidnapped, and we were trying to rescue them. It couldn't have been someone from the Winters Family." Leonard's eyes turned cold. "A diversion isn't impossible. I'll investigate. If the Winters Family is involved in my mom's suffering, I won't let it go."

He was almost sure Elise had suffered in that fire, but he didn't know if Cordelia or someone else was behind it.

Joey, traumatized, had a night full of nightmares. She saw Sebastian covered in blood and Benjamin dying in front of her.

In one day, she saw Elise hurt by a chandelier, got kidnapped by Mason, and saw him fall, covered in blood. Even if she wasn't pregnant, these scenes would haunt her.

When she woke up, she saw Sebastian's handsome face. He had just showered and smelled like body wash.

His hair was dripping, and water droplets slid down his jawline, collarbone, and chest.

Joey, still groggy, called out softly, "Sebastian."

Sebastian kissed her forehead and smiled. "Awake? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Joey nodded slightly. "Yes."

"Where? Let me see," Sebastian said, looking her over, worried.

Joey's raspy laughter filled the room. She took his hand and placed it on her chest, whispering, "My heart's just beating fast."

Sebastian relaxed and pinched her nose. "You're attracted to me. I've told you, it's a critical period. Why are you so naughty?"

Joey blushed, her eyes on Sebastian. "Can I at least get a hug?"

She wrapped her arms around his waist, her warm lips brushing his chest.

Her actions made Sebastian heat up. He grabbed her face, leaned close, and warned in a hoarse voice, "If you don't behave, I don't mind repeating what happened that night."

Thinking about it, Joey froze. That experience was unforgettable. If it happened again, she wouldn't be able to leave the house today.

But just as she was about to get up, Sebastian's arm wrapped around her waist.

His low, seductive voice whispered in her ear, "No rush, let me have a kiss first."

He pulled her back onto the bed, showering her with gentle, passionate kisses.

She didn't know when Sebastian had become such a good kisser; just one kiss from him was so erotic. She couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

As they were kissing, there was a knock on the door. Benjamin's voice came from outside. "Joey, Mrs. Taylor is here to see you. You two come down and greet her."

Joey immediately pushed Sebastian away, her voice still tinged with lingering desire. "Dad, we'll be down in a minute."

Her voice was a bit breathless, her face slightly flushed. And that "Dad" she called out with a bit of weakness made Sebastian chuckle softly.

Joey angrily punched him. "It's all your fault, kissing endlessly."

Sebastian laughed and kissed her face a few more times. "I'll kiss the baby, then take you to wash up."

"This time, only kiss my belly, nothing else."

Sebastian's smile turned mischievous. "Honey, why don't you tell your husband in detail? What do you mean by 'nothing else'?"

Joey's face turned even redder. "Sebastian, you're shameless!"

"For you and the baby, I can be shameless." He lowered his head and kissed her belly a few times, his big hand gently caressing it. "Baby, stay inside and behave. Don't trouble your mom, or when you come out, I'll spank your butt." His voice was filled with laughter, his eyes full of affection and fatherly love. This side of Sebastian made Joey feel warmth in her heart. Happiness radiated from inside out.

When they came downstairs, Beatrice was sitting on the sofa. Seeing Joey, Beatrice immediately went to her, worry etched on her face. "Joey, were you scared? Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Joey smiled and took Beatrice's hand. "Grandma, I'm fine. You don't need to worry."

"The knife was at your neck. I was so scared I didn't sleep all night. How can you be fine, especially since you're pregnant." In her anxiety, Beatrice blurted out the truth. Realizing her mistake, she quickly covered her mouth.

Joey didn't mind. Her pregnancy was something that couldn't be hidden even if she wanted to. She smiled gently. "The doctor checked yesterday. The baby is perfectly healthy. You don't need to worry."

Hearing her honesty, Beatrice's eyes welled up with tears. "Joey, thank you for trusting me. I made your favorite snacks. Come, try some."

Beatrice led Joey to sit down and handed her the snacks she had made, her eyes full of love.

Joey took a bite. It was crispy and delicious, sweet but not too much. She closed her eyes in satisfaction, nodding. "It's delicious. Thank you, Grandma."

Beatrice was overjoyed, patting Joey's head with a smile. "Your mom was just like you, she loved my cookies the most."

Hearing this, Joey suddenly looked at Beatrice. "How do you know my mom?"
