True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 48 Back to the Past

She told him that she hadn't aborted the child, but he didn't believe her. She said Isabella had framed her, but he still didn't believe her.

Now, she was risking the pain of uncovering her scars to tell him that she also has depression, but he didn't believe that either.

Perhaps that was the difference between being in love and not. He believed Isabella with just a single word, but no matter what Joey said, he thought she was just being ridiculous. Joey suddenly laughed mischievously, her beautiful eyes carrying a seductive gleam.

She turned over and pressed herself against Sebastian.

Her warm lips landed on his sexy Adam's apple. Her voice was soft and enticing. "President Winters, is this what you want? I can act it out for you."

She gazed intensely at Sebastian, her nimble fingers gently tracing his face, filled with strong seduction and charm.

Sebastian grabbed her restless hand. He couldn't help but gulp a few times. "Joey, does it really have to be like this? Can't we go back to how we were before?"

Joey leaned close to his ear, smiling lightly. "Isn't this the heartless game that you wanted to play? I'm sorry for any shortcomings on my part."

"Joey!" Sebastian's eyes turned cold. "You brought this upon yourself!"

With that, he pounced on her like a wild beast, pinning her down.

Throughout the night, he didn't know how many times he took her. Each time, Sebastian almost took away half of Joey's life. But Joey cooperated perfectly, without a single complaint.

However, it seemed like something was missing in Sebastian's heart.

Previously, when he was rough with her, she would cry and curse at him, even bite him. But now, she acted like it was just a task at work, giving her best effort to complete it flawlessly. She seemed emotional and even called out his name with abandon.

But that wasn't what Sebastian wanted.

He looked at Joey, who had fallen asleep in his arms, and gently kissed her lips. Sebastian's voice was soft. "How long are you going to play hard to get with me?"

The next day, Joey woke up, her whole body aching. She looked beside her, but Sebastian was already gone.

She chuckled self-deprecatingly. Wasn't this how her relationship with Sebastian should be? Wham, bam, thank you, ma'am.

Joey tidied herself up and was about to go downstairs when her phone suddenly rang. Seeing an unfamiliar number, she furrowed her brows, but she still answered the call.

An urgent voice came from the other end. "Is this the family of Benjamin Blackwood? He attempted suicide in prison and is currently being treated at Serene Vista Hospital. Please come as soon as possible." Joey's mind went blank for a moment. It took her a few seconds to react.

Her father had attempted suicide, and now he was being treated at a hospital. She quickly hung up and rushed out of the bedroom. Just as she reached the door, she collided with a solid figure. Seeing Joey rushing toward him as soon as she woke up, a faint smile tugged at the corner of Sebastian's lips.

"You didn't get enough last night?"

He was about to lean down and kiss Joey, but she pushed him away mercilessly.

Faced with her father's life and death, even the resilient Joey needed someone to rely on. She wanted to tell Sebastian that her father had attempted suicide and ask him to accompany her to see him.

But as she thought about the day she bled a lot and sought his help, only to be ignored, Joey hesitated.

She took a few steps back and calmly said, "I have something to attend to. I'm taking the day off today."

Without waiting for Sebastian's response, she rushed out of the house. Sebastian watched her retreating figure, his gaze deep and inscrutable. He could tell that Joey was hiding something from him. He could also hear the tremor in her voice. But from her eyes, he could see that she didn't want to tell him.

Sebastian furrowed his brow. He immediately took out his phone and called Dominic.

"Find out if the Blackwood family is in any trouble."

Dominic sounded surprised. "President Winters, Mr. Blackwood Sr. attempted suicide in prison. Didn't you know?"
