True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 99 Proposal Arrangements

Joey's finger hovered over the phone, her heart aching.

If he had said this before they broke up, she would've been over the moon, maybe even cried.

Back then, she loved him so much. She was reckless, even set up a proposal scene to help him get over his fear of marriage. She even had custom couple rings made.

But all her efforts were met with Sebastian's cold words: "only sex, no love."

She'd never forget the moment in court when the audio of Sebastian calling her a caged bird played.

It felt like he trampled all over her dignity and love.

Joey chuckled. "Mr. Winters, need I remind you we broke up? Do you need help recalling how you gave me the breakup fee?" "Joey, I never "

Before he could finish, Joey sneered. "I hope you remember what you said and did to me. Even if you wanted to marry me now, I wouldn't forgive you. I gave you a chance, and you blew it." With that, she hung up.

She stood quietly in the hallway, staring at the dazzling night view.

Sebastian put down the phone, his face full of sorrow.

Joey did give him a chance.

She wanted to marry him, but he cruelly rejected her and said awful things. Now, he realized how much of a jerk he was.

The housekeeper saw his sad expression and sighed. "Mr. Winters, I don't know what happened between you and Ms. Blackwood. On her birthday, you two were fine."

"Ms. Blackwood decorated the terrace herself to surprise you. She wanted to give you a surprise."

"Later, you two had a falling out, and she took everything down. She was very sad."

Sebastian frowned. "What decoration? Why didn't I know about it?"

The housekeeper pulled a receipt from her pocket and handed it to Sebastian.

"This is what I found on the terrace after Ms. Blackwood left. You should call and ask about it."

Sebastian took the crumpled receipt, and his heart sank.

DR Planning Company.

Project: Proposal Scene Setup.

Proposer: Joey Blackwood

Proposee: Sebastian Winters

Planning Cost: $7,000

With each line he read, his heart ached more.

His hands trembled.

He dialed the number on the receipt.

The phone rang several times before someone answered.

"Hello, how can I help you?" a young girl said.

Sebastian forced himself to calm down. "Last month on the 28th, did a Ms. Blackwood sign a contract with you?"

"Yes, sir. Ms. Blackwood also ordered a pair of rings. She was planning to propose to her boyfriend. The proposal scene was our design, and Ms. Blackwood set it up herself."

"She really loved her boyfriend. It's rare for a girl to propose. She was the first one I've seen. That Mr. Winters must be very happy."

The girl kept talking, but Sebastian didn't hear any of it.

That day, when he went to see Isabella, she did mention something important.

But he never imagined she meant a proposal.

Sebastian stared at the design sketches and ring customization pictures the girl sent him, speechless from the pain.

His eyes burned with unshed tears.

He hoarsely told the housekeeper, "Get Alexander to come and bandage me."

He needed to heal and replace Joey.

When Julian came out, he saw Joey's lonely figure.

He walked up behind her and said gently, "Joey, have you thought about starting a new relationship? Maybe it will help you forget the past pain."

Joey turned and saw Julian's gentle eyes.

Those passionate eyes were fixed on her.

There was an emotion in his eyes she couldn't quite understand.

Joey smiled slightly. "Julian, I'm not ready yet."

"Are you not ready, or can you not forget him?"

Seeing through her thoughts, Joey smiled bitterly. "It's not that I haven't thought about starting a new relationship, but Sebastian has been in my heart for seven years. I don't know when I can completely move on from him. If I start a new relationship hastily, it would be unfair to the other person."

Julian's lips curved slightly. "What if that person doesn't care? Would you consider it?"

He was tall and slender, with a handsome face, and his beautiful eyes reflected the fragmented lights.

He nervously clenched his fist, his eyes fixed on Joey's reaction.

Joey's eyes lifted slightly, meeting Julian's lingering gaze.

She smiled lightly. "Julian, any man would care."

"But I don't care, Joey. Let's give it a try."

Joey's smile froze, staring blankly at Julian.

It took her a long time to speak. "Julian, what did you say?"

Julian's Adam's apple bobbed nervously, his voice low and hoarse. "Joey, I've liked you for many years. I wanted to confess to you when you graduated from college, but then I heard you were with Sebastian. I saw how much you loved him and didn't want to disturb your happiness, so I went abroad alone."

"But I never forgot you. Later, I heard from Sophia that you had a miscarriage and broke up with Sebastian. I immediately came back, wanting to give myself a chance to pursue you." Joey's eyes were full of shock.

She always knew Julian had a girl he liked for many years, but she never knew that person was her.

She smiled and shook her head. "Julian, my relationship with Sebastian was not honorable. I won't let these things affect you."

Julian looked at her sincerely. "I don't care. You don't have to give me an answer right away. Tell me when you're ready. But I genuinely want to try with you, despite the hardships." Julian's words deeply moved Joey.

She spent the whole night thinking about it and didn't fall asleep until very late.

Sophia called her several times before waking her up.

Joey groggily answered the phone.

Before she could speak, she heard Sophia's anxious voice. "Joey, have you seen the financial news? Sebastian's interview is trending. Everyone online is talking about for the woman who allegedly abused him."
