True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 133 Humble Sebastian

Sebastian vividly remembered Joey's plum blossom birthmark. Every time they were intimate, he couldn't resist kissing it. He always felt like his kisses made the birthmark release a faint floral scent, which kept him going.

If Joey was really Connie's child, then she was the one he was promised to. Thinking about this, Sebastian's gaze softened.

His voice got huskier. "Joey, you are my destiny." He restarted the car.

Joey had her headphones on the whole time and missed Sebastian and Theodore's conversation, as well as Sebastian's heartfelt confession.

She had a bit of alcohol with the Knight Family tonight, and with Julian away, she had been handling many cases at the law firm.

She hadn't rested well for days. Listening to relaxing music and watching the night view, she started to drift off.

She tried to stay awake but fell asleep against the seatback in less than three minutes.

The next morning, Joey woke up to her phone ringing. Groggily, she answered without checking the caller ID.

Sophia's surprised voice came through. "Joey, where are you? You're not at home."

Joey, still half-asleep, replied, "I am at home."

"No way, I've been calling you there, and you're not answering."

Just then, Joey felt a shadow over her and heard a deep voice. "Joey, were you exhausted last night?"

Both Sophia and Joey exclaimed. "Joey, why are you with Sebastian? Did he trick you again?"

Joey stared at Sebastian, holding her phone.

He was in black silk loungewear, the collar slightly open, showing his strong chest.

His eyes were fixed on her with desire. Joey quickly sat up, realizing she was at Sebastian's place, in the bed they had shared many times.

All her sleepiness vanished. She clutched the quilt tightly, her tone icy. "Why am I here?"

Sebastian rubbed her head apologetically. "You fell asleep in the car and wouldn't wake up. Your house had a new password, and I couldn't get in, so I brought you back."

Joey cursed herself inwardly. She was usually a light sleeper but slept soundly next to Sebastian.

'How could I be so pathetic, having no guard against this guy even after breaking up?' She quickly got out of bed, ready to leave, but Sebastian grabbed her wrist.

He pulled her towards him with force, making her nose hit his chest, bringing tears to her eyes from the pain.

She glared at him angrily. "Sebastian, if you try anything, I'll sue you."

Sebastian held her tightly, looking down with a smirk. "Ms. Blackwood, maybe you should see this before suing me."

Joey's eyes widened in disbelief.

The video showed Sebastian carrying her into the bedroom, gently placing her on the bed, and covering her with a blanket. Just as he was about to leave, her hands hooked around his neck. Her lips brushed his chest, and she murmured, "Don't go." Sebastian looked at her with affection, hesitated for a moment, then stroked her head. "Okay, I won't go. Sleep well." Joey seemed satisfied, curled her lips, and nestled into his arms.

Joey's face turned red. 'Why haven't I broken these habits after all this time?'

In the past, she would cling to Sebastian every night. As long as he was there, she could fall asleep instantly.

Joey closed her eyes in frustration. "I just mistook you for Baxter. If I knew it was you, I would've avoided you."

Sebastian pinched her earlobe, his voice tender. "If I could be held by you like this every day, I'd be happy to be Baxter forever." His gentle voice and tender gaze were a far cry from the domineering Sebastian of the past, making Joey feel disoriented.

Joey's cold face softened. She stroked Baxter's fur, her voice tender. "Someone wants to take your place in my heart. Isn't he too arrogant?"

Baxter seemed to understand and barked at Sebastian resentfully.

Sebastian pinched its neck and laughed. "Just like your mom, ungrateful. Who do you think takes care of you?"

He stood up, rubbed Joey's head, and said, "Go freshen up and come down for breakfast."

Joey refused. "No need, I'm afraid you'll poison me." She took Baxter to the bathroom.

After freshening up, she played with Baxter in the yard for a while before driving away.

Sebastian watched her stubborn back, a charming smile on his lips. 'What a handful she is. Should I teach her a lesson? But she's been mine since we were kids. Even if she's disobedient, I have to pamper her.' He called Dominic. "Assign two bodyguards to protect Joey 24/7."

Since Joey was the Vale Family's child who had been switched at birth, someone would try to stop her from reuniting with her family. His top priority was to protect Joey and replace out the truth.

He drove to replace Theodore. After a few days, Theodore looked haggard, his eyes bloodshot.

He grabbed Sebastian's hand, his face full of pain. "Sebastian, could my sister have been killed long ago?"
