True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 75 The Beautiful Wife Arrives

Joey was floored and looked up at Sebastian.

"What did you just say?"

Sebastian pinched her cheek playfully. "Your stuff goes to your office. Where else would it go, my place?"

His words brought tears to Isabella's eyes.

"Sebastian, can't I at least try on this dress?" Isabella asked.

Sebastian raised an eyebrow, his tone casual. "This one doesn't suit you. Check out the others; I'll cover it."

Without waiting for her reaction, he took Joey downstairs.

Watching them leave, Isabella started crying.

"Mrs. Winters, does Sebastian want Ms. Blackwood to be his date? What about me?"

Cordelia wiped her tears and comforted her. "Don't worry, you'll be his wife. Just do well at the banquet, and he'll see your worth." Isabella leaned on Cordelia's shoulder, looking hurt but with a hint of malice in her eyes.

Joey was still in shock when Sebastian led her to the car.

She thought it would be like before, with Sebastian always favoring Isabella.

But this sudden change caught her off guard.

She had to admit, her heart was moved.

To hide her emotions, she got in the car and stared out the window.

Sebastian gently grasped her chin, turning her face towards him. "Is the view outside more interesting than me?"

He lowered his head and bit her lip.

Joey whimpered, "Sebastian, that hurts."

"A little punishment for not looking at me."

He held the back of her head and deepened the kiss.

All he could think about was how stunning Joey looked in that dress-charming, sexy, with a touch of innocence.

It was the first time he had seen her in such a formal dress.

He admitted he was stunned by her beauty.

He didn't want her to leave his side; he couldn't stand the thought of another man admiring her.

Sebastian's kiss was forceful and possessive.

His breath on her face ignited a fiery sensation.

After a long time, he slowly let her go.

His fingertips brushed her reddened eyes, his voice hoarse. "At the anniversary celebration, you'll dance the first dance with me." Joey, still reeling from the kiss, was shocked.

"Do you want me to get scolded to death?" she asked incredulously.

Sebastian smiled mischievously, biting her lip lightly. "Silly, no one would dare scold you. You'll see."

Joey didn't dare guess his intentions. She used to love him deeply, but now she was cautious.

But her heart still skipped a beat.

Soon, it was the anniversary celebration.

The Winters family was all present, even Aurora, who hadn't shown up in a long time, was dressed formally and sat at the top. She kept glancing towards the door.

Her granddaughter, Sebastian's sister Bianca Winters, leaned over and whispered, "Grandma, why do you look so nervous? Are you hiding something from us?"

Aurora smiled. "Whether it succeeds or not depends on Sebastian's performance tonight."

Bianca's eyes widened. "Is Sebastian bringing a girlfriend? Is it Isabella?"

"Of course not. If it were her, I wouldn't be here."

As they were talking, the hall doors opened.

Seeing the well-matched couple at the door, Aurora excitedly patted Bianca's hand.

"He brought his wife. He didn't disappoint me."

Bianca was instantly stunned by Joey's beauty.

"She's pure and sexy," she exclaimed. "Grandma, I need to go make an impression."

"Don't cause trouble for your brother. Let's see what he does first."

From the moment Joey and Sebastian entered, they attracted everyone's attention.

They had attended various banquets together before, but never as formally as today. Their outfits were matching.

Even the way Sebastian looked at her was filled with deep affection.

People started whispering.

"Mr. Winters brought Ms. Blackwood to such an important occasion. She must be more than just a date."

"Maybe the secretary is about to become a noble lady."

Hearing these words, Isabella clenched her fists in anger.

How could she not see Sebastian's intention?

Sebastian wanted to acknowledge Joey's identity in front of everyone, and Isabella absolutely wouldn't allow it.

She immediately took out her phone and sent a message.

Sebastian greeted the Mayor and some important guests with Joey, then brought her to Aurora.

"Grandma, keep an eye on her for me. Don't let anyone bully her."

Aurora smiled and took Joey's hand. "Don't worry, I'll watch her like a treasure for you."

Bianca teased, "Should I replace a little box to hide your treasure first?"

Sebastian seemed to like the term "treasure." He leaned close to Joey's ear.

He brushed his warm lips against her burning earlobe and said in a hoarse voice, "Stay here and behave. I have a surprise for you."

Joey noticed several cameras pointed at them and instinctively began to step back in alarm.

But Sebastian's large hand held her slender waist.

A low chuckle resonated in her ear, "Scared now? What about later?"

"Sebastian," Joey whispered, "What are you planning?"

But Sebastian's unusual behavior made her uneasy.

Seeing her flustered expression, Sebastian kissed her forehead affectionately. "Perform well in the opening dance, and I'll reward you."

He smiled meaningfully.

His fingers lightly traced her nose before he leaned over to give Bianca a quick instruction, then headed towards the rostrum.

As the president of the group, Sebastian was the first to speak.

Sebastian stood tall, with handsome features, exuding a noble and aloof aura.

Just standing there, he commanded attention.

He didn't say much official stuff, just briefly reviewed the past, looked forward to the future, and made some promises to employees and business partners.

After finishing his speech, he was intercepted by Mayor Jared Knight. "Mr. Winters, my son Nino just returned from abroad and opened a new law firm. If possible, please support him." Sebastian was surprised. "You have two sons?"

"No, Nino is Julian."

Sebastian's heart tightened inexplicably.

Julian's nickname was Nino. Could Joey's "nine" be him?

Thinking of this, Sebastian's eyes darkened.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Jared, he went to replace Joey.

Ten minutes earlier.

Joey received a text from an unknown number.

She opened it and instantly felt cold.

She immediately picked up her phone, found an excuse to leave, and headed straight for the rooftop terrace.

When Joey reached the rooftop, Angie was sitting on the railing.

Half of her body was already over the edge.

She's just one misstep away from falling down.

Joey immediately cried out, "What on earth are you trying to do!"
