True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 255 Pregnant with Twins

Theodore patted Alexander on the shoulder earnestly, then walked towards Sebastian. With a smile on his lips, he said, "How could I be the only bachelor? Someone has to keep me company." Sebastian laughed. "When he finds out, he'll probably beat you badly."

"He'll beat you first. You tricked him; I just helped you out."

They laughed and chatted as they walked into the hall. Only Julian stood still.

Sebastian looked back at him and asked seriously, "Are you waiting for Alissa?"

Julian nodded slightly. "Her arm is injured. I'm worried she can't take care of Todd properly."

Sebastian chuckled. "She went to the hospital for a check-up today and then to register the baby. Didn't she tell you?"

Julian shook his head blankly. "She didn't mention it."

Sebastian looked at him meaningfully. "If you want to win a woman's heart, Julian, you need to be bolder. If you back down every time Alissa pushes you away, sooner or later, your son will be calling another man 'Dad'." With that, he turned and left.

Julian was left standing alone in the wind. These days, he had tried to see Alissa, but she always found various excuses not to meet him. Her coldness left him at a loss.

He sent her things, and she accepted them all. He took Todd to the Taylor Family, and she didn't refuse. But whenever he wanted to be alone with her, she mercilessly rejected him. He had never felt so helpless in his life. Julian chased after Sebastian and asked, "Wait! What do you mean, bolder? How?"

Sebastian turned back with a mischievous smile. "Ever tried seduction? It might work for you."

Hearing this, Julian couldn't help but curse, "Scoundrel." But then he thought about Sebastian's history with Joyce, the pain they had inflicted on each other, and how they had somehow found their way back to love. Maybe Sebastian was onto something.

Julian got into his car, stepped on the gas, and headed straight for the hospital.

Alissa lay quietly on the bed, letting the doctor move the instrument over her belly.

While waiting in line, everyone else had their husbands with them, but she was accompanied by her mother. It was impossible not to feel a bit sad. But she knew clearly that this child was not due to love but came with a mission. Sometimes, she felt guilty about her child for she couldn't give him a lively family,

At that moment, Alissa heard the doctor's excited voice. "Miss Taylor, congratulations. The scan shows you have two gestational sacs."

Alissa looked at her, puzzled. "What do two gestational sacs mean?"

"It means you're having twins."

Alissa then remembered that when she did IVF, they had indeed implanted two embryos, but she hadn't expected both to survive. Her eyes reddened with excitement. "Is it...is it dangerous?"

"More dangerous than a single pregnancy, but as long as you take extra care, it should be fine. The later stages will be more tiring, your belly will be much bigger than a normal pregnant woman's, and your husband will need to help more. By the way, where is he? Why didn't he come in?"

Just as Alissa was about to speak, a tall figure appeared before her. Julian grabbed her hand, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement. "I will. From now on, I'll take good care of you and the children." With that, he lifted Alissa off the bed, helped her put on her shoes, and led her out.

As soon as they stepped out, Alissa tried to pull her hand away, but Julian held on tightly. He put his arm around her shoulders and said gently, "There are too many people in the hospital. I'm worried they'll bump into your belly." Alissa looked at him expressionlessly. "Where's my mom?"

"Your mom had something to do and left. Joyce asked me to pick you up. Todd is with Theodore."

Julian half-carried Alissa into the car. He casually took a small box from the back seat and handed it to her. "Your favorite cookies. See if they taste the same."

Alissa looked at the cookies in her hand and smiled lightly. "Did Todd tell you?"

One sentence hit Julian right in the heart. Indeed, it was Todd who told him that Alissa's favorite dessert was cookies and her favorite dish was grilled fish.

When he heard this, he felt guilty for a long time. When they were abroad, Alissa had once bought a box of cookies and offered him some. He had refused without thinking. He had told her he didn't like things that were too sweet. Hearing this, Alissa had thrown the box of cookies into the trash and never brought them home again.

She had also made grilled fish for him and burned her hand in the process. While applying ointment to her hand, he had told her not to make it again because he didn't like fish. Julian had never thought that the things he disliked were Alissa's favorites. Thinking back, he couldn't help but curse himself in his mind, 'Bastard.'

He reached out and gently stroked Alissa's head, his voice hoarse. "From now on, what you like, I like."

With that, he took a cookie from the box and held it to Alissa's lips. He said gently, "Try it. It's delicious."

Alissa reluctantly took the cookie and bit into it. The sweet taste filled her mouth. The crispy, soft texture brought a faint smile to her usually cold face.

Seeing Alissa like this, Julian's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but lean down and bite the cookie in Alissa's hand. His tongue intentionally licked Alissa's fingers. Then Julian nodded in satisfaction. "Indeed, it's good. Crispy and crunchy. What do you think?"

Alissa was stunned by his actions. She stared blankly at the finger Julian had licked, feeling her cheeks heat up.

She knew Julian did it on purpose. But in her impression, Julian had always been a gentleman, never taking the initiative to flirt. In the past, he would blush for a long time when she tried to seduce him.

Alissa tried to stay calm and looked at him indifferently. "Julian, you don't have to do this. If you don't like it, just leave it. Why force yourself?"

Julian gently wiped the crumbs from Alissa's lips, looking at her with tender eyes. "I've tasted it, so I know whether I like it or not. But you, why didn't you let me know you liked it so much?"

His words had a double meaning. On the surface, he was talking about the cookies, but in reality, he was talking about their relationship.

When they were together, Alissa never showed how much she liked him. When he suggested breaking up, she didn't cry like other girls. Instead, Alissa had left with her luggage without hesitation. At the time, he thought Alissa was with him just because they were both lonely abroad. He never knew she liked him.

Seeing Alissa lower her eyes and remain silent, Julian pressed on. He pulled Alissa into his arms. He whispered, his voice rough with emotion, "Alissa, give me a chance. Let's start over, okay?"
