True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 320 Are You Okay

Their eyes locked.

Time seemed to stand still.

Sebastian clenched his fists and strode over to Joyce.

He buried the longing in his heart and masked all his emotions.

His voice was steady.

"Joyce, how have you been?"

When Joyce heard his voice again, especially when he mentioned her name, a swirl of emotions flooded over her.

But after two years, she wasn't the same Joyce anymore.

She hid her bitterness well.

Joyce gave a small smile and said in her usual tone, "Thanks for asking, Mr. Winters. I'm doing fine."

Seeing her so distant, Sebastian felt a sharp pain in his chest.

But wasn't this what he wanted?

He wanted Joyce to keep her distance and forget the past, to move on.

He then turned to Julian and Alissa, "You two still not married? What's the holdup?"

Julian grinned, "Don't start pushing for marriage the moment you get back. My parents are already on my case. Let's head inside, the party's about to start." Sebastian glanced at Joyce, watching her turn and walk inside first.

He followed, holding Paxon.

His eyes darted between Paxon and Joyce.

He couldn't imagine the agony Joyce had suffered over the past two years. It was heartbreaking that her son was alive all this time, and she didn't even know it. Sebastian's eyes stung as he looked at Paxon and asked, "Does Aunt Joyce like you?"

Paxon nodded eagerly, "Yeah, she says she likes me the most and always buys me lots of toys and snacks."

Sebastian stared at Paxon's face, which had a hint of Joyce in it, and said, "You should get closer to her, okay?"

Paxon looked at him, puzzled, "Do you have a crush on her?"

Sebastian laughed and pinched his nose, "How are you as sharp as your mom?"

They both laughed and walked inside.

Lydia, in a beautiful pink princess dress and a crown, came down the stairs.

Todd was at the piano, playing the birthday song.

Everyone clapped and hummed along.

Joyce handed her gift to Lydia and smiled, "Lydia, happy birthday."

Lydia smiled back, "Joyce, thank you! I'll save you the biggest piece of cake later."

Then, Lydia's eyes landed on Sebastian.

Her big, pretty eyes blinked at him.

In her memory, Sebastian loved her Godmother, Joyce.

Lydia pouted and asked Sebastian softly, "Are you my Godfather? Why haven't I seen you in so long?" Hearing this, Tyler laughed.

"Look at my smart daughter; she still remembers you. Where's the birthday gift? You didn't forget, did you?" Sebastian handed the gift to Lydia and said in a deep voice, "Happy birthday, Lydia."

Lydia saw that the gift was just like her Godmother's and her eyes widened.

"Godfather and Godmother are so in sync, getting me the same gift."

Everyone looked at the two gifts.

They couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

Joyce pinched Lydia's cheek with a smile and said, "They're both clothes. You can wear them alternately. How about I go with you to cut the cake?"

"Okay, I want to take Todd and the others, too."

Joyce led a few kids towards the cake.

Tyler elbowed Sebastian with a grin, "Let me tell you, Joyce's even more impressive now than she was two years ago. She's the top lawyer in the international legal community. If you don't make a move, you'll regret it when she marries someone else."

Sebastian watched Joyce's slender back, feeling a bitterness only he knew.

How could he not know about Joyce's current status and position?

He followed every case she took, every trip she made.

He even sat in the audience for those cases in Snowpeakia.

He saw Joyce's newfound confidence and brilliance, a radiance she lacked during their time together. However, he had dimmed her light for four years.

Sebastian slowly clenched his fist in his pocket, a nonchalant smile on his lips.

"Don't talk about me. Didn't you say you wanted a second kid? Why haven't you had one yet? Having some... issues?"

Tyler glared at him, "What are you talking about? I'm in great shape; even having a twin wouldn't be a problem. It's Maya who doesn't want more. She's Joyce's secretary now, and both of their careers are on the rise. She doesn't have time for me."

"Let me tell you, Joyce's law firm makes as much profit as our Green Group every year. Joyce's status in the business elite circle is very high."

Tyler continued, "But I noticed that many of those business elites who are close to Joyce were the ones who took advantage of the Winters Group back then. Do you think Joyce might be secretly gathering evidence to defeat them and avenge you? If that's the case, Joyce will be really amazing. I truly admire her."

Hearing this, Sebastian suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his chest.

He looked deeply at Joyce.

He knew all the people Joyce interacted with.

Those people did indeed suppress the Winters Group back then.

Including those foreign conglomerates, Joyce had represented them in important cases.

If Joyce was really doing what Tyler said, Sebastian didn't dare to think further.

The stabbing pain in his chest grew heavier.

It hurt so much that he couldn't breathe for a while.

Sebastian clenched his fists tightly.

His eyes were filled with bitterness.

At that moment, Paxon handed him a piece of cake, looking up and saying, "This is for you."

Sebastian took the cake from him, ruffled his hair with a smile and said in a deep voice, "Thank you."

Paxon ran off with his little legs.

Then Paxon started picking off the strawberries from the strawberry cake one by one and began eating with a fork.

Seeing this, Sebastian's lips curved into a bitter smile..

He was just like his mom, liking strawberry cake but not the strawberries on top.

Tyler looked at the cake in Sebastian's hand, puzzled, "Paxon is usually so aloof. How come he's so friendly with you the first time he meets you? He didn't even give me a piece."

Sebastian smirked, "It's all because of my irresistible charm."

Tyler laughed and cursed, "So smug, aren't you? If you're so great, have a kid yourself. Why are you showing off to me? I have a daughter, and you not only don't have a child, but you also lost your wife. Now, out of the four of us, three are single. I'm the only one with a wife and kid. This happy little life of mine, I don't even want to share it with you guys, afraid you'll be jealous."

Everyone laughed and joked.

Soon it was time to eat and Paxon stuck to Joyce like glue.

Joyce helped him get food and clinked glasses with him, both of them smiling warmly at each other, completely oblivious to everyone else around.

At that moment, Paxon suddenly looked at Joyce in pain.

"Aunt Joyce, I'm really itchy here."

Joyce immediately put down her utensils and looked over, only to see a layer of red rash on Paxon's body.

Alissa immediately blurted out, "Joyce, did you give him fish? He's allergic to seafood."
