True Love Deserves a Second Chance -
Chapter 316 Paxon was very attached to her
Alissa held up her phone and said to Joyce, "Hey Joyce, let me snap a pic of you and Paxon. When Neil wakes up, you can get some with him too. Looking at them will cheer you up." Joyce got what Alissa was hinting at.
She gave a bittersweet smile and turned Paxon's face towards the camera.
She looked down at him and said, "Hey baby, look at mommy. Let's take a picture together."
Paxon's big, bright eyes blinked at Joyce, his little fist in his mouth.
Joyce pointed towards Alissa and said, "Baby, look at mommy. She's taking our picture."
Paxon kept staring at her, babbling something only he understood.
Julian walked in just as this tender scene unfolded. He leaned in close to Alissa, whispering with a grin, "Paxon's a smart cookie. He knows who his mommy is."
Alissa nudged him and gave him a look.
Then Alissa took several photos of Joyce and Paxon with her phone.
Before long, Joyce felt some movement from under Paxon.
She looked at Alissa in surprise, "Alissa, I think he pooped."
Alissa immediately put down her phone and was about to rush over when Julian stopped her.
"Joyce, Alissa and I need to chat. Can you change Paxon? You don't mind, right?"
Joyce smiled, "Of course not, he's my nephew."
She placed Paxon on the small bed and carefully unfastened his diaper.
Sure enough, Paxon had pooped a lot.
Joyce didn't mind at all; instead, she felt a sense of happiness.
When she was pregnant, she had taken baby care classes and knew how to handle this.
Quickly, she cleaned Paxon up and put on a new diaper.
The little guy kicked his legs excitedly, seeming to delight in Joyce's gentle touch and the soothing tones of her voice as she spoke to him.
From the moment Joyce arrived until she left, Paxon never slept and clung to Joyce like glue.
As Joyce just intended to hold Neil when he woke up, Paxon cried loudly in protest.
Joyce had no choice but to put Neil down and quickly pick Paxon back up.
Seeing this, the whole family felt a bit heartbroken.
It was said that newborns didn't recognize people, but Paxon's natural attachment to Joyce shocked everyone.
Julian pinched Paxon's little cheek with a smile, "You like your Aunt Joyce so much. How about living with her when you grow up?"
Paxon seemed delighted and smiled widely at the suggestion.
Julian laughed, "You little rascal, have you forgotten who gets up in the middle of the night to feed you?"
He looked at Joyce and said, "We're leaving tomorrow. You'll be in charge here. You're the biggest shareholder of the law firm. When I get to City C, I'll set up a branch there so we can support each other." Joyce nodded lightly, "Okay, I won't mess it up."
"I won't be worried you'll mess it up. Your divorce case with Sebastian shocked the entire legal community. Now, many rich women want you to handle their divorce cases to get more money from their ex-husbands." Hearing this, Alissa kicked him angrily, "How can you say that? You know what she went through. Are you stupid?"
Julian laughed and rubbed her head, "Okay, my bad. I won't say it again. Don't be mad, honey."
"Who's your honey? You're just the father of my three kids, not my lover. Julian, remember your place."
"Alright, I'll work hard to win the love of my kids' mom as soon as possible. Is that okay?"

But that familiar feeling was like a knife stabbing her chest.
She stood up and said, "I gotta go. Safe travels tomorrow. I have a case to attend to, so I won't see you off."
"Okay, you don't need to see us off. Remember to visit my three kids often."
Joyce drove away from Alissa's house and unknowingly arrived at her baby's grave.
She placed a bouquet of flowers on the tombstone.
Kneeling down, she carefully wiped the tombstone with a tissue, her tears falling onto it.
Her voice choked, "Baby, I visited your two cousins today. They're very cute. If you were still here, you would be just like them."
After speaking, she squatted down, buried her face in her knees, and her shoulders shook uncontrollably.
She didn't know how long she had been crying when she heard footsteps approaching.
Joyce turned around and met Sebastian's cold eyes. He was dressed in black, tall and strong, walking towards her.
Although he looked much more haggard, the determination in his eyes remained. He walked up to Joyce and placed the flowers he was holding on the tombstone, his eyes filled with undisguised pain. "Your body has just recovered. Don't be too sad. Our baby wouldn't want that."
Joyce lowered her eyes, her voice still tinged with sadness.
"I visited Alissa's two babies today. Paxon is very attached to me. He cried when I left, as if he didn't want me to go. Sebastian, if our baby were still here, would he be just as clingy?"
Hearing these words, Sebastian couldn't help but be moved.
He looked up at the sky, trying to keep his tears from falling.
His voice was a bit hoarse, "Joyce, if you like, you can visit them often. Don't lock yourself in the past. You must face the future with optimism."
Joyce stood up from the ground, took a deep breath, and said, "Don't worry, I will. I have a lot to do. I won't let this defeat me."
Seeing her straight back and hearing her determined words, Sebastian felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He clenched his fists tightly, his deep eyes fixed on Joyce, "Joyce, I'm leaving for Snowpeakia country tomorrow. I don't know when I'll be back. Take care of yourself, okay?" Hearing this news, Joyce wasn't surprised at all.
Elise and Randall were in Snowpeakia country, and Bianca was detained there.
Sebastian would definitely go there to rescue them.
But this time, nobody knew when they would meet again.
By then, everything might have changed.
They might have new lovers by their sides.
Thinking of this, Joyce felt a growing ache in her heart.
But she showed no emotion on her face and simply said, "Take care."
Then Joyce turned and left.
Watching her leave, Sebastian finally let the tears he had been holding back fall.
To control his emotions, he clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his forehead bulging with the effort. In that moment, he finally understood what it meant to be truly heartbroken and devastated. Joyce wasn't much better off. She got into her car and drove away immediately.
As she drove, tears streamed down her cheeks.
She kept silently repeating in her heart, 'Sebastian, you must take care.'
