True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 116 Misery Loves Company

After dinner, Julian took Joey back to the hotel.

At the door, he finally asked, "Joey, have you thought about what I mentioned last time?"

Joey hesitated, about to respond, when a deep voice interrupted.

"Ms. Blackwood, do you have a moment? I have some follow-up questions about my case."

Sebastian, dressed in black, approached with a stern look.

He seemed polite but distant, showing no emotion.

Julian clenched his teeth in anger.

He knew Sebastian was doing this on purpose.

Sebastian didn't want Joey to agree to be with him.

Julian sneered at Sebastian. "Mr. Winters, don't you know Joey hasn't rested because of your case? You've gone too far."

Sebastian, unusually polite, nodded to Julian. "Sorry, it's urgent and private. I must ask Mr. Knight to step aside." Julian clenched his fist.

Since the case was private, he couldn't stay.

Joey calmly said, "Julian, I'll give you an answer when we get back. I need to discuss something with him."

Julian nodded. "Don't stay up too late. I'll pick you up for the airport tomorrow."

As Julian entered the elevator, a hint of triumph appeared in Sebastian's eyes.

Inside the room, he quickly reverted to his usual self.

He stared at Joey's bracelet. "This bracelet doesn't suit you. Let me take it off."

He grabbed Joey's wrist and removed the bracelet, replacing it with a diamond one.

The diamonds sparkled, making Joey's wrist look even more beautiful.

Sebastian looked at Joey with an indescribable emotion. "Joey, don't be with Julian. He's been lying to you. Unlike me, I've only ever been with you."

Joey looked at him coldly. "If this is all you have to say, then leave. Who I choose is my business, not yours. Take this bracelet back."

She took off the bracelet and stuffed it into Sebastian's pocket, then opened the door for him to leave.

Instead of leaving, Sebastian sat on the sofa.

Moments ago, he was full of affection; now he looked all business. "No one has seen my body except you. How does Helena know so much? Don't you replace it strange, Mrs. Blackwood?" "Are you suspecting me?"

"Of course not. You love me so much. How could you share my privacy?"

His tone carried a hint of flirtation.

He deliberately said "you love me so much" in an affectionate manner.

Joey frowned, her ears turning slightly red.

Sebastian noticed and pretended to touch her earlobe. "Is it hot in here or something? Why are your ears so red?"

Joey clenched her teeth but quickly regained her composure.

Her expression turned businesslike. "Only someone very close would know about such a hidden birthmark."

Sebastian's eyes narrowed. "The only people who know are my grandmother and my parents. They wouldn't frame me; it affects the entire Winters Group."

Joey's eyelashes fluttered as she looked up at him. "What if someone wants to use this to make you marry Helena?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Why didn't you tell me? Is it because you still have feelings for me and don't want me with another woman?"

Sebastian's deep eyes searched Joey's face for any sign of reluctance.

But Joey just smiled faintly. "My job is to help you win this case, not to compromise. It has nothing to do with my feelings."

Sebastian felt as if he'd been hit by a ton of bricks, lying motionless on the sofa.

He stared at the chandelier, his voice filled with helplessness. "Joey, don't you think I'm pitiful? My mother wants to control my life, willing to hurt both me and you to achieve her goals." He smiled bitterly, pinching his brow.

He had long suspected an inside job because not just anyone could access the Winters Family's sperm bank.

But he never thought it would be his mother.

Cordelia, to prevent Joey from being with him, not only killed their child but also harmed Joey's body.

Now she even framed him.

She didn't care about the honor of the Winters Group.

Sebastian felt a stabbing pain in his heart.

His voice was filled with sorrow. "Joey, doesn't it sting to be hurt by your own mother? Aren't we both in the same boat?"

Joey understood Sebastian's feelings.

When Angie hurt her repeatedly, she felt the same way.

She made a cup of coffee and handed it to him, saying softly, "Just think of her as someone else, and you won't feel so bad."

As you reach the final pages, remember that 000005s.com is your destination for the complete story. Share the joy of reading with others and spread the word. The next chapter is just a visit away! Sebastian gave a bitter smile.

He wished she wasn't because then there would be no barrier between him and Joey.

He took the coffee from Joey, but his hands shook, spilling it all over his pants.

The scalding temperature made him jump up from the sofa instantly.

Joey's face turned pale with fright.

The coffee was made with boiling water, and it spilled right on Sebastian's crucial area.

Her voice changed. "Sebastian, are you okay?"

Sebastian quickly unbuckled his belt and rushed to the bathroom.

As he walked, he said, "I need to use your bathroom, or I'll never have kids again."

Joey immediately picked up her phone. "Quickly rinse with cold water. I'll call a doctor." Sebastian entered the bathroom.

He looked at his soaked pants but didn't take them off immediately.

Instead, he gritted his teeth, enduring the intense burning sensation.

After a long time, he slowly unzipped his pants, seeing blisters forming in that area.

He wasn't worried at all; instead, a knowing smile appeared on his lips.

After the doctor examined him, he frowned at Sebastian. "The situation is quite serious. Such intense stimulation can affect sexual function. It might..."

Sebastian immediately asked, "What might happen?"

"It might not be able to get erect."
