True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 263 Picking Up Joyce

Joyce rolled out of bed, eyes half-closed, grumbling, "Why's it so early? I need more sleep."

Benjamin patted Joyce's head with a smile. "Someone's picking you up at nine. You need to eat and do your makeup; time's tight."

Joyce stumbled to the bathroom. When she came out, she saw a little head peeking in.

Todd, in a white suit and black bow tie, with neatly styled curly hair, looked around curiously. He spotted Joyce and ran over on his short legs. "Aunt Joyce, do I look handsome today?" Joyce squatted down, smiled, and nodded. "Todd, you're the most handsome little guy today."

Todd asked, "Who's more handsome, me or Uncle Sebastian?"

"You, of course. Sebastian's too old; he's not as cute as you." Joyce pinched Todd's chubby cheeks.

Todd's eyes widened seriously. "Then marry me. I'm more handsome than Uncle Sebastian, and I'll save you the best food. When you have kids, I'll take care of them too."

Joyce laughed and kissed his cheek. "Sweetie, you're adorable. When you grow up, you'll find a girl even prettier than me. Marry her then, okay?"

Todd blinked. "As pretty as Lydia? Aunt Joyce, I have a secret, but you can't tell anyone, okay?"

He whispered in Joyce's ear, "I like Lydia, and she likes me too. She smiles whenever she sees me. Do you think I can marry her when I grow up?"

Joyce's eyes widened. "Of course, Lydia's my goddaughter. I'll help you when the time comes."

Alissa walked in, smiling, and pinched Todd's neck. "I knew you'd be here. Let's go downstairs for breakfast. The makeup artist is here."

Meanwhile, Sebastian hadn't slept all night, partly from excitement and partly because his friends threw a late bachelor party.

Dressed, Sebastian stood in front of the mirror, heart racing at the thought of spending his life with Joyce.

Maxwell stood at the door, clicking his tongue. "How long's it been since you saw Joyce? You're staring at the mirror for over half an hour." Alexander teased, "Just three days."

Sebastian smiled at them in the mirror. "You two bachelors don't get it; this is happiness."

Maxwell pointed at Alexander. "I'm only 23. He's the resident bachelor here."

Alexander shot back, "Watch it. Who said I haven't been in a relationship? I'm Sophia's official boyfriend."

Maxwell smirked. "Yeah, official like a contract. You two will break up eventually."

Alexander punched him. "Can't you say something nice? Don't you know I'm bummed about his wedding?"

Maxwell grinned. "Why are you sad? Do you like Sebastian?"

As they playfully fought, Tyler's voice came from outside. "Are you two done? Today's important for Sebastian. No inappropriate jokes."

They laughed and got in the car.

Alexander texted Sophia: [The world's most handsome groom and groomsmen are on their way. Get ready to welcome us.]

Sophia quickly replied with a voice message, "Got it, just you wait!"

Maxwell snorted. "I heard she's got a lot of pranks planned for us."

Alexander shrugged. "So what? I'll handle it."

As they neared the Blackwood Mansion, they saw four men in suits lined up.

The car stopped, and Sebastian got out first, shaking hands with an older man. "Hello."

The man smiled. "We just found our sister after twenty years, and now you're taking her away. Think we're happy about that?" Maxwell, full of energy, asked, "So what do you want to do?"

Sebastian nodded. "Ask away."

"Sebastian, will you always love her and treat her well? Will you share your assets with her? If you have kids, will you help take care of them? And most importantly, will you never betray her?" Sebastian replied earnestly, "I will always love her and never betray her. I'll share half my assets with her. If we have kids, I'll definitely help take care of them."

With that, he gained their approval, and they stepped aside.

Sebastian rushed to the villa, eager to see Joyce and spend every second of today with her, creating beautiful memories.

Todd stood by the window, waving. "Uncle Sebastian, you're finally here. We've been waiting forever."

Sebastian walked in, excitedly shouting, "Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, I'm here to pick up Joyce."

Todd looked up at him. "Uncle Sebastian, I'm trusting you with Aunt Joyce. You better be good to her, okay?"

Sebastian smiled and pinched his cheek. "I promise, little man."

Todd then took his hand. "Uncle Sebastian, I have a secret to tell you."
