True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 182 Misunderstanding

"Why do you need pregnancy books?" Sebastian's heart skipped a beat. He tightened his grip on Lydia.

A strong feeling nagged at him. He grabbed Joey and stared. "Joey, are you hiding something? Are you pregnant?"

His questions came fast, overwhelming Joey. She stepped back, annoyed. "Sebastian, what are you talking about? How could I be pregnant?"

"Then why the pregnancy books?" Sebastian watched her closely, not wanting to miss anything.

Just then, Joey's phone rang. She answered quickly.

Alexander's deep voice came through. "Joey, whose baby is Sophia carrying?"

Joey frowned. "Mr. Cross, Sophia's career is taking off. Be careful with your words."

"She said she wasn't feeling well, took a day off, bought a pregnancy test, saw a doctor for prenatal vitamins, and asked pregnant women on set a bunch of questions. If she's not pregnant, what is it?" Joey felt there was a big misunderstanding, making Sophia look pregnant for no reason.

She wanted to explain, but Sebastian's eyes were on her. She bit her lip and said, "Mr. Cross, Sophia's in the entertainment industry. Don't spread rumors about her."

She hung up and met Sebastian's scrutinizing eyes.

"Are these things for Sophia?" he asked.

Joey looked down and stayed silent.

The tension in Sebastian's chest eased a bit. He looked at Joey, disappointed. "I wish it was you who was pregnant."

His voice was sad. Joey felt a pang in her heart.

She lowered her eyes, took the items from Maya, and smiled. "It's not heavy, I can handle it."

The intense moment ended with Sophia taking the blame.

At the hospital, Lucas called out, "Sophia, come here, we need to shoot a medical dispute scene."

Sophia got up and ran over. "Coming."

Lucas explained the precautions, and they started filming.

A man stormed into the nurse's station, cursing and picking up a chair to smash it.

The young nurses ran away, but Sophia stood her ground.

Just as she was about to confront the guy, she got shoved hard and fell backward.

Before she hit a medical cart, someone rushed in and shielded her.

Lucas shouted, "Cut! Mr. Cross, we're filming."

Alexander glared. "Even during filming, ensure the actors' safety. There are glass bottles on that cart; if one breaks, she could get hurt."

Lucas nodded with a smile. "Mr. Cross, you're very considerate. Everyone, replace those items."

Alexander pulled Sophia aside, glaring. "Don't you know your condition? What if you get hurt?"

"You might be fine, but what about the baby?" Alexander didn't want to accept it, but he didn't want Sophia to suffer more.

Sophia finally got it-Alexander thought she was pregnant and worried she'd miscarry if she fell.

She wanted to punch him. Did he really see her as that careless?

She bit her lip in anger. "The baby isn't yours, so why do you care?"

She pushed Alexander away and went back to filming.

Alexander clenched his fist, fuming.

'What an ungrateful person. Treating my kindness like trash!' he thought, but still handed the dinner he brought to Sophia's assistant before leaving.

Soon it was New Year's Eve. Sophia and Maxwell were celebrating at Joey's place. They planned to head back to City C after the holiday.

Joey's pregnancy didn't bother her much, just made her sleepy. At ten in the morning, Sophia dragged her out of bed to buy groceries.

After lunch, Joey curled up on the sofa, hugging a pillow, slowly drifting off, looking peaceful.

Sebastian walked in and saw her. He gently covered her with his black cashmere coat.

He couldn't resist touching her soft lips. The warm touch felt like an electric shock, hitting him deep. He tried to control himself, but those lips drew him in.

Their breaths mingled, and he smelled her faint floral scent. Sebastian's last bit of restraint snapped.

He kissed her softly, making it gentle and lingering.

Joey thought she was dreaming. She wrapped her arms around his neck, opened her mouth, and kissed back.

Their kiss ignited like a spark, setting everything ablaze.

Just as they were lost in the moment, Maxwell's voice broke in. "Sebastian, what are you doing?"

Sebastian didn't flinch. He slowly released Joey, kissed her again, then stood up to face Maxwell.

He looked at him coldly. "Joey's sleeping. Keep your voice down."

Maxwell pointed at Joey's slightly red lips. "Did you just kiss her?"

Sebastian nodded. "So what if I did?"

"You guys broke up. Show some respect. This is taking advantage. I could call this harassment."

Sebastian walked over, raising an eyebrow. "I'm kissing my fiancée. None of your business."

Maxwell had never seen Sebastian so shameless. He snorted in anger. "If you want to marry Joey, deal with your mom and stop her from hurting Joey."

"It won't happen again." Sebastian unexpectedly pulled the apron off Maxwell.

Maxwell reached out to grab it. "Why are you taking my stuff?"

Sebastian calmly put on the apron, smiling. "To cook for Joey."
