True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 290 9911 Stays Together

Joyce had been feeling bored for ages. When she heard they were going out, she couldn't sleep a wink. Her eyes were wide open the whole time.

Joyce curiously took in the night scenery as they drove.

Sebastian drove from the city to the suburbs, winding through mountain roads, finally rocking Joyce to sleep.

She had no idea how long had passed when she heard Sebastian calling her. "Baby, we're here."

Joyce opened her sleepy eyes to a scene of darkness. At the end of the darkness were countless shining stars. There was no city noise, just the faint chirping of insects.

Joyce then saw they were parked on a mountaintop. Above her was an endless night sky. She looked at Sebastian with some excitement. "Sebastian, where are we?"

Sebastian took her hand and got out of the car, pointing to the viewing platform ahead. "This is the best place in City B to watch the stars. There's a telescope over there; you can go take a look."

It was a bit chilly in the mountains at night, so he put a coat on Joyce and led her to the viewing platform.

The platform was surrounded by colorful lights, flashing continuously before Joyce's eyes, just like the stars above.

Joyce slowly walked onto the platform, just about to look at the stars through the telescope when she saw a letter on the table. It was written in Sebastian's handwriting. [To No. 11]

Seeing the letter, Joyce looked at Sebastian in confusion. He smiled and nodded at her, signaling her to continue.

Joyce's heart suddenly started beating fast. She didn't know how Sebastian knew the secret of No. 11, nor what the letter contained. But judging by the wear on the envelope, it seemed to be from years ago. Joyce couldn't wait to open it. Seeing the first line, she couldn't help but burst into tears. [No. 11, I'm sorry for leaving without saying goodbye. I just didn't want to make you sad. I'm going abroad to treat my eyes and should be back in a month. I hope you can quickly overcome your shadow. Here is my address and phone number. I hope to see you soon. No. 99]

It was only at this moment that Joyce realized No. 99 hadn't abandoned her but had left her a letter that she never received. He had even left her an address and phone number.

Thinking of this, Joyce felt her tears keep flowing. If she had seen this letter back then, she would have gone to find him.

They wouldn't have had to wait so many years to meet again, nor would there have been so many misunderstandings.

Sebastian slowly walked to her side, his long, slender fingers gently wiping her tears. His voice was low and deep. "No. 11, I never abandoned you, nor did I leave without saying goodbye. I left you this letter, thinking you would come to find me once you were better. But after waiting for a long time and not seeing you, I went to the sanatorium to inquire and found out you had been discharged long ago.

"I've been looking for you all these years. Luckily, we met again three years ago, and now you're my wife. You're not only the girl I decided to marry when I was young but also the No. 11 I've been waiting for.

"Joyce, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you and made you suffer so much, even misunderstanding your intentions with me. Can you forgive your No. 99?"

Hearing these words, Joyce felt her tears flow even more. She sobbed, "Sebastian, why did you make me cry again? How did you find out I was No. 11?"

Sebastian took a ring box from his pocket and gently opened it. He took out a woman's ring and placed it on Joyce's middle finger, his voice low and deep. "This is the ring you wanted to propose to me with. When I found it, I realized you were No. 11. I'm very grateful to the person who tried to impersonate you. If it weren't for her, I might never have known that my wife has loved me for seven years."

After saying this, he lowered his head and kissed Joyce's lips. "From now on, let me love you and make up for the past seven years, okay?"

Joyce sniffled and asked, "Why did you bring me here?"

Sebastian gently brushed her brow and said, "I remember you told me that when my eyes got better, you would take me to see the stars. My dear, my eyes have been better for seven years, and you never brought me here. You didn't even tell me you were No. 11, making it so hard for me to find you. But now that I know, it's good. Without the past feelings, I already love you so much. So you can rest assured, I will never leave you. We will always be together."

Joyce wiped her tears and smiled at him. "We will never be apart again."

"99 and 11 will never be apart again." Sebastian repeated her words, lowering his head to gently nuzzle her cheek, his voice low and seductive. "Baby, can I have a kiss?"

Hot, wet kisses fell on Joyce's face, from her eyes to her nose, from her nose to her chin, finally landing on her soft lips.

As their lips and teeth intertwined, Sebastian's husky voice lingered in Joyce's ear. "Joyce, I love you."

Joyce wrapped her arms around his neck and slowly closed her eyes. She made a soft, charming sound. "I love you too."

At this moment, everything around them seemed to pause. The stars in the night sky seemed to stop twinkling, and the insects in the grass stopped chirping.

All that could be heard were the sounds of growing intimacy. After seven years, they reunited, and both had indescribable feelings.

They couldn't tell it was the joy of reunion or the sweetness of sharing their hearts. They could only express all these unclear emotions in this kiss. They kissed from standing to sitting, from face-to-face kissing to hugging from behind and kissing.

Looking at the starry sky above and kissing the one they loved most must be the happiest thing in the world.

Joyce hadn't been this happy in a long time, so much so that she couldn't sleep even when they got home late. It wasn't until Sebastian bathed her and told her several stories that she reluctantly fell asleep in his arms.

By the moonlight, looking at Joyce sleeping in his arms, Sebastian felt reborn. He lowered his head and gently kissed her lips.

Sebastian's voice was soft. "Baby, good night."

Just as he covered Joyce with the blanket, his phone rang. He immediately took the phone and walked into the study.

Leonard's husky voice came from the other end. "What do you think of my mom's behavior today?"

Sebastian took a cigarette from the pack, bit it, lit it, and took a deep drag. Then he said in a deep voice, "She is so familiar with the Old Mansion, which shows she lived there before. Is it possible that Cordelia used her as a substitute?"
