True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 257 Theodore is Angry

Joyce slowly walked up to Connie's photo, her slender fingers gently caressing Connie's cheek, her voice somewhat hoarse. "Mom, it's Joyce, your daughter whom you risked your life to save. I've come to see you."

Hearing this, Beatrice couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and they streamed down her cheeks. "Connie, it must be you guiding us, helping us find Joyce. Don't worry, from now on, we'll take good care of her. You can rest in peace." Beatrice handed Joyce a candle, her voice choked with emotion. "Joyce, light a candle for your mom and wish her peace."

Joyce took the candle, lit it, and then prayed in front of the photo. Just as she was about to turn around, she saw Sebastian come to her side.

Sebastian looked solemnly at Connie's photo and said, "Mrs. Vale, thank you for trusting me to take care of Joyce even before she was born. We are now legally married, and she is carrying the next generation of the Winters Family. I will treat her well for the rest of my life and never let her down. Please rest assured."

After speaking, he prayed a few times in a formal manner. Then, he took out the ruby necklace from his pocket and placed it around Joyce's neck.

Sebastian's voice was deep. "Joyce, this is the token of love I gave you back then. Now, in front of Mrs. Vale, I'm putting it on you to fulfill her last wish."

He lowered his head and kissed Joyce's forehead, solemnly saying, "I will love you for a lifetime."

Seeing Connie's last wish fulfilled and the two children so in love, Beatrice wiped away her tears in excitement. "I believe your mom must be very happy. She can rest easy knowing you're with Sebastian. Once your wedding is complete, everything will be perfect."

Sebastian helped Joyce up from the ground, humbly saying, "I came here to discuss the wedding with you. My dad and Joyce's dad have no objections. They said you should set the date, and they'll follow your lead."

Mentioning the wedding, Beatrice immediately perked up. "The sooner, the better. Joyce's belly is getting bigger by the day. If it's too late, she won't look good in a wedding dress, and it will be inconvenient for her. As for the date, let Benjamin choose. He raised Joyce, so he should have the final say."

Sebastian replied, "Alright, I'll have him choose a day as soon as possible. I'll take care of the rest."

As they talked, they walked down from the small building. Just then, they saw Theodore coming over, looking extremely upset.

Beatrice immediately asked, "Theodore, why are you so late? You're even later than Joyce and Sebastian. That's not how a big brother should act."

Theodore glared coldly at Sebastian and said irritably, "You should ask Sebastian. He promised to let me come with them, but he told me a time that was an hour later than the flight. I had to buy a new ticket at the airport." Sebastian nonchalantly curled his lips. "I thought today was Joyce's welcome party. Everything should be for Joyce. You shouldn't steal her spotlight."

Theodore argued, "That's nonsense! If I can't enjoy this treatment, neither do you! Don't forget, I'm her brother!"

"I'm her husband. I should be with her." Sebastian spoke confidently and patted Theodore on the shoulder, whispering with a smile, "I was afraid you'd be jealous, so I didn't let you come along. You should have seen how grand the scene was when everyone saw Joyce. They were all so excited."

"Sebastian, just wait. I'll get back at you at tomorrow's banquet!"

The men of the Taylor Family, who had been waiting outside, all gathered around, standing by Theodore's side, looking at Sebastian with unusual expressions. "Theodore, don't worry. If he wants to marry our little princess, he has to get our approval. Make sure there's plenty of wine tomorrow. We'll have a good drink with Sebastian."

Facing the challenge from over twenty men, Sebastian wasn't afraid at all.

He knew that the men of the Taylor Family were all very protective of their daughters. When Connie passed away, her brothers were devastated. Now that they had found Connie's daughter, they would naturally transfer their years of pent-up love to Joyce.

At the banquet, Joyce not only met her grandparents but also her grandfather's six brothers, her twelve uncles, and thirteen cousins.

Although only Clifton was Joyce's closest uncle by blood, the other uncles also prepared generous gifts for her.

Here, Joyce truly felt the prosperity and unity of a large family.

The Taylor Family might not be as successful in business as the Winters Family, nor did they have as many assets. But they were united, and no one dared to provoke them easily. In this family, there was no scheming or fratricide. The entire family was united and focused on external matters.

Joyce looked at the pile of gift boxes in the room, her emotions very complex. For the first time, she experienced the feeling of being the center of attention. This was a treatment she had never experienced growing up. In the Blackwood Family, because of Angie, she was the least favored.

While Joyce was excited, she thought of Benjamin. She immediately took out her phone and dialed his number.

Benjamin was sitting alone on the living room sofa, quietly drinking coffee. The coffee cup was a birthday gift from Joyce, which he had never used until now.

The coffee beans were top-quality ones Joyce had bought for him. The rich aroma of coffee couldn't hide his longing for Joyce.

Benjamin glanced at the time. Joyce should be having dinner with the Taylor Family now. Just as he was feeling sad, his phone rang. He immediately answered. Joyce's gentle voice came through. "Dad, do you miss me? I miss you so much."

One sentence made Benjamin's eyes welled up. He immediately used laughter to hide his sadness. "Of course I miss you. How are you getting along with the Taylor Family?"

"Very well. They treat me very well. Don't worry. Grandpa and Grandma even sent you a gift, your favorite painting. They also said I'm yours, and you should choose the wedding date."

Hearing this, Benjamin smiled and nodded. "Thank your grandparents for me. I'll discuss the wedding date with Derek. Take care of Sebastian. The Taylor Family has many men. Don't let them get him drunk." Joyce smiled nonchalantly. "Don't worry. Sebastian can hold his liquor."

But just as she finished speaking, she heard Todd shouting from outside, "Aunt Joyce, something's wrong! Come quickly and save Uncle Sebastian. He's about to get drunk!"
