True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 126 Have a Little Brother

Julian froze when he heard the call. Before he and Joey could react, Sebastian was already there, pulling Joey into his arms.

Sebastian whined, "Joey, you can't feed him, only me." Then he bit the waffle out of Joey's hand, even licking her fingers on purpose.

He grinned and said, "This waffle's terrible. I got you your favorite cake."

Joey's mood soured instantly. She grabbed a wet wipe from her bag and cleaned where Sebastian had licked. "Sebastian, I hate durian and durian cake. I only tolerated it for you. Stop embarrassing yourself!"

She dragged Julian to the car, ignoring Sebastian's calls. He watched their car drive away, the cake falling from his hand. He felt a deep sense of rejection.

'Is this how Joey felt every time I chose Isabella?' The thought pained him. He got back in his car and told Dominic, "Let's go."

Joey had a blast all day. She and Julian went to the amusement park, watched a suspense movie, and enjoyed street performances. These were things she had always wanted to do with Sebastian but never did. Julian made it happen. She got out of the car, still buzzing with excitement. "Julian, today was amazing, thank you."

Julian looked at her, the streetlamp's light making her eyes sparkle. His Adam's apple bobbed. "Making you happy is my greatest wish."

Their shadows stretched long under the streetlamp. From a distance, Sebastian watched, thinking Julian was about to kiss Joey. His blood boiled.

He patted his dog, Baxter. "Baxter, someone's trying to take your mom. If he wins, she'll forget you, and you'll be an orphan."

Baxter barked twice and dashed out. Julian, careful not to scare Joey, noticed some cotton candy on her mouth. He smiled and moved to wipe it off when Baxter suddenly appeared and knocked him over. Julian's first instinct was to protect Joey. When he looked up, he saw Baxter fiercely guarding her, barking with red eyes.

Joey shouted, "Baxter, don't be rude!" But Baxter barked even more aggressively at Julian.

Just as Baxter was about to pounce, a cold voice commanded, "Baxter, don't be rude!" It was Sebastian. Baxter stopped barking immediately.

But Baxter still stood between Julian and Joey.

Sebastian walked over, bent down, and patted Baxter's neck a few times. With a hint of apology, he said, "Sorry, Baxter's not cool with any guy but me getting close to his mom."

Joey glared at Sebastian. "What are you trying to do?"

Joey gritted her teeth. "Well, let me tell you, you'll never catch up because I won't give you a chance!"

She turned to Julian. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. You should go up now. It's been a long day. Take a bath and get some rest. I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Joey took her bag, waved with a smile, and went upstairs, ignoring Sebastian completely.

Sebastian watched her go and smiled. "She's mine, always will be. Don't waste your time."

Julian shot back, "Mr. Winters, if you were a real ex-boyfriend, you might be a threat. But you never were, so I'm not worried." Sebastian smirked. "I'll make sure there's a day when you are."

He left with Baxter.

A week later, Julian understood what Sebastian meant. He had been swamped with cases all week, leaving no time for dates with Joey. Sebastian had used his connections to flood Julian with work, making it look like he was helping him. Finally, the weekend arrived, and Joey took Julian to Maya and Tyler's wedding anniversary celebration.

Seeing them, Tyler grinned and whispered to Sebastian, "Joey brought Julian. Is she making their relationship public? This should be interesting."

Alexander added, "Joey waited three years for some jerk, but she was just his pet. If it were me, I'd have kicked him out and found someone like Julian-good-looking, talented, with a good family background, and deeply in love with Joey." Sebastian didn't like their words but stayed calm. He watched Joey introduce Julian to Maya with a smile. "Maya, this is Julian Knight."

Maya smiled. "I've heard Mr. Knight is talented. Seeing him today, he truly lives up to his reputation. You and Joey look great together."

Julian greeted her politely and handed her a gift. "Congratulations on your anniversary."

After some pleasantries, Joey clapped her hands at Maya's daughter. "Lydia, come here!"

Lydia smiled and nuzzled Joey's face, making Joey reluctant to let her go.

While Joey played with Lydia, Sebastian suddenly walked up behind her and said loudly, "Hey Lydia, how about a little brother? Ms. Blackwood and I can make that happen."
