True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 269 Never Separate Again

Joyce lay in Sebastian's arms, crying softly. The pain was unbearable. Painkillers could offer relief, she knew, but a wall of worry always rose up, a barrier built of love and fear for her unborn child.

Sebastian kissed her tears, trying to comfort her. "When I'm hurt, your kisses help. I should give you some kisses." Joyce looked at him, doubtful. "Really?"

"Let's try. If it doesn't work, we'll find another way." He kissed her cheek, then her lips. "Remember our first kiss?"

Joyce's mind drifted back to three years ago, at sunset. She was watching Sebastian play golf, thinking about telling him she wanted to be his girlfriend. He walked over, and before she could speak, he pulled her into his arms with a towel. "Joyce, stay and be my girlfriend, okay?" he asked, his voice husky.

Her heart skipped a beat. She stared at him until his warm lips met hers, bringing her back to reality. "Stay, Joyce, please!" he whispered.

She clutched his shirt, her heart racing, and made a small sound in response. His kisses became more lingering.

Indulging in these kisses filled with love, Joyce forgot the pain. Her wish had come true; she married the man she loved.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, her voice soft. "Sebastian, we'll never be apart, right?"

Sebastian felt a mix of emotions. He kissed her deeply. "Yes, we'll never be apart."

His warm tongue pried her teeth open, kissing her deeply. The kiss was gentle and lingering.

After a while, he pulled back. "Feel better?"

Joyce closed her eyes, her voice hoarse. "Sebastian, ever wonder why I decided to be your wife?"

He brushed her cheek with his nose. "You were mesmerized by me, right?"

Joyce, lying in his arms, slowly closed her eyes. "Yes, but there is something you don't know. I liked you a long time ago."

Later, Joyce mumbled something, but Sebastian only caught that she'd liked him for a long time. 'When was that? Wasn't our first meeting in that alley?' he wondered. Seeing her asleep, he kept the question to himself. The next morning, Joyce woke up to see Sebastian's stubble and dark circles. She gently touched his face. "Honey, you need to shave."

Sebastian kissed her forehead. "Do you think you'd still find me attractive with a beard?"

"It's fine, baby. I'll shave later. Does your wound still hurt?"

"Much better. Did you stay up all night?"

Sebastian stroked her head. "Don't worry about me. As long as you and the baby are safe."

He tried to sit up but realized his arm was numb from being under Joyce's head all night. He fell back onto the bed, almost crushing her but caught himself just in time. The position was suggestive. Just then, the door opened. Alexander, in a white coat, stood there. "Sebastian, are you crazy? Joyce's pregnant and injured, and you're being impatient?"

Sebastian got up and glared. "You should knock before entering."

Alexander laughed. "I'm just checking on Joyce. Sophia asked me to record a video for her."

He pulled out his phone and started recording. "Sophia, see? Joyce's much better. They were being affectionate, so her wound can't hurt that much, right, Joyce?"

Alexander nodded. "If that were the case, The Firecracker would come over and beat him."

Sebastian chuckled. "Since when does Sophia have a nickname? What does Firecracker even mean?"

"She's hot-tempered and easily ignited. She only loses her temper with those close to her. She's been bullied on set."

"When did you become close to her? I thought you two were just in a contractual relationship?"

Alexander kicked him. "Mind your own business. We're living together now, and her fans see me as her boyfriend."

Alexander, pleased with himself, forgot the phone was still recording and sent the video. Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "Sophia will be mad."

"She'll be grateful I checked on Joyce." But then his phone rang. It was Sophia.

Alexander answered smugly, but Sophia started yelling, "Alexander, who are you calling a Firecracker? If I'm a Firecracker, I'll blow up your testicles and make you a bachelor for life!"
