True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 46 Come Home with Me

Joey's words seemed calm, but how could Julian not hear the pain in her heart? He looked at her intently, his voice tinged with disappointment. "It's my fault. If I were as capable as him, I wouldn't have let you suffer like this." Joey smiled faintly. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I don't consider it suffering. I'll be free in three months."

"What are your plans? Have you ever thought about returning to the legal world?"

"I've never even been a lawyer. No law firm would want to hire me."

Without hesitation, Julian said, "I'm preparing to start a new law firm. I'll be bringing in some people from abroad and also looking for fresh talent. If you'd like to, you can join anytime." Joey nodded gratefully. "Thank you, Julian. I will consider it."

After dinner, Joey and Julian dropped Harold off at his hotel. Joey drove back to her own apartment alone. Just as she opened the door, a white figure pounced towards her.

She screamed in fright, but then she heard a familiar whimper.

Joey immediately turned on the light and saw a white Samoyed excitedly spinning around her. She crouched down and embraced it, gently stroking its soft fur. "Baxter, I've missed you so much."

Baxter nestled in Joey's arms, whimpering and licking her, his eyes glistening with excitement. Just as they were doting on each other, the bathroom door opened. Sebastian walked out, wearing only a towel around his waist, casually drying his hair with a towel in his hand.

Joey stared at his half-naked body, momentarily speechless.

Sebastian suddenly chuckled. He said nonchalantly, "Haven't seen enough yet? Should I take off the towel as well?"

He strolled over to Joey, draped a towel over her head, and gave it a tug, pulling her into his embrace. The towel was big enough to cover both of their heads completely. In the enclosed space, their gazes met, and a tense atmosphere instantly filled the room.

Sebastian's cold fingertips gently lifted Joey's chin, caressing her red lips. His voice was husky. "You heartless woman, you actually wanted to gang up on me. Tell me, how should I punish you?"

Joey tried to break free, but Sebastian's long arms were like pincers, tightly imprisoning her.

She glared at him in anger. "Sebastian, you can't let Harold know about us."

Sebastian smiled and kissed her lips. "What are you willing to wager to ensure that doesn't happen?"

"Don't push it!"

"I want to see your sincerity. Call the old man now and tell him that the person he wants to get rid of is me, and his obedient disciple is currently in my arms. What do you think his reaction will be?" Joey gritted her teeth in anger. If the old master found out, he would be furious.

Sebastian was the man she had liked for seven years. He would definitely tell on her.

She didn't want Harold to know. She wanted to preserve her dignity.

Sebastian felt a strange sensation in his chest seeing how nervous she was about this. In retaliation, he bit her lip and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Come home with me, and I'll keep your secret."
