True Love Deserves a Second Chance

Joey had been terrified since the kidnapping.

She kept the lights on all night, seeing visions of Sebastian fighting.

She dreamt of Sebastian injured, lying in blood.

Joey woke up from the nightmare, shouting "Sebastian."

Realizing it was just a dream, she started to relax when the door opened.

A tall figure appeared.

Sebastian quickly walked over, touched her forehead, and said hoarsely, "It's okay, it was just a dream."

Joey, still in shock, stared at him. "Why are you here?"

"I was worried you'd be scared, so I came to keep you company. I saw you were asleep and didn't want to disturb you, so I lay on the couch outside," he said calmly. Joey's eyes flickered, but her voice was cold. "You should go back, I'm fine."

"If you're fine, why did you call out for me?" Sebastian gently ruffled her hair. "It's only four o'clock. Get some more sleep. You have to be in court tomorrow." He laid her back down and covered her with the blanket.

He stared at her for a few seconds, then smiled. "I'll go out, you get some more sleep."

Joey watched the door close and finally felt calm.

She didn't know if it was because she was too tired or because Sebastian was outside, but she slept well until she heard the sound of someone talking outside. Joey came out and saw two large suitcases in the living room.

Dominic was standing opposite Sebastian, reporting on work.

Joey felt uneasy. "What are you trying to do?"

Sebastian walked over, his eyes full of worry. "Angie was taken from the mental hospital. I'm worried she might hurt you, so I came to protect you."

Hearing that name, Joey's fingers trembled.

Angie's impact on her was deep.

Her voice was hoarse. "there's no need for you to worry. Please leave."

She headed for the suitcases, trying to throw them out.

But Sebastian grabbed her wrist. "Joey, since they took Angie, they will use her to hurt you. I can't let her hurt you again. I need to protect you."

Joey broke free and looked at him coldly. "As long as you stay away from me, I'll be fine. If you hadn't harassed me on Twitter, I wouldn't have been kidnapped. If you hadn't insisted on me being your date at the anniversary, Angie wouldn't have threatened me. Don't you understand? All my troubles are because of you."

"Whether it was the past three years of your twisted games or keeping me like a caged bird, I don't care anymore."

"I just want a total break, no more entanglements. I want to live the peaceful life I desire. Is that too much to ask?"

Joey's tone was calm and decisive, without a trace of reluctance.

Her eyes were cold.

This was the last thing Sebastian wanted to see.

He slowly walked to her side, looking down. "Joey, do you really hate me that much? Do you really reject being with me that much?"

A mocking smile spread across Joey's face. "Sebastian, the moment you said we were just playing a no-strings-attached game, my love for you vanished. I don't want things to get worse between us. We both live in the same city and see each other often. Can't we just keep things amicable?"

Sebastian's eyes showed undeniable pain.

He could no longer find his place in Joey's eyes.

His heart felt like it was being pierced by countless needles.

His eyes turned slightly red, and his voice was hoarse. "But we haven't had a breakup meal yet. I haven't eaten since last night. Can you make me a meal? I'll leave after I eat."

Joey frowned. "Is that really necessary?"

"Yes, Joey, I want to have your sandwiches, tomato soup, and fried eggs."

He remembered that he used to like simple bread and milk for breakfast.

But ever since Joey moved in, she would get up early every day and make various breakfasts for him.

Gradually, he found his previous breakfasts cold and tasteless and began to love the food Joey prepared for him.

At the time, he thought it was just Joey's way of pleasing him.

And he enjoyed it.

It wasn't until later that he realized he couldn't live without it.

He even missed those foods badly.

Joey stared at him for a few seconds, then said, "I hope you keep your word."

She went back to her room to freshen up.

Dominic saw Sebastian's gloomy face after being rejected and didn't show any sympathy.

Dominic leaned in and whispered mockingly, "Mr. Winters, I'll wait for you downstairs. Enjoy your last breakfast."

Sebastian glared at Dominic, his tongue pressing against his left cheek. "Get out!"

Dominic immediately nodded and then pointed to the suitcases. "Should I take these down for you?"

"No need!"

He said it firmly, his tone full of anger.

He had never been rejected like this before.

Dominic quickly ran away in fear.

Joey always had fresh ingredients and sauces in the fridge. It took her less than half an hour to make everything Sebastian had asked for.

When he saw the food in front of him, Sebastian was a bit surprised. "How did you do it so quickly?"

He wanted to stay a little longer.

Joey's face was expressionless. "Eat. Once you're done, leave and take your things with you."

She turned to go back to her room.

But Sebastian grabbed her wrist. "Joey, isn't a breakup meal supposed to be eaten together? Will you sit with me?"

His tone carried an unprecedented plea.

He pulled Joey to sit beside him and handed her a sandwich. His voice was clear and nice. "Let's eat together."

Joey didn't refuse. She sat quietly, eating in silence.

Sebastian always ate elegantly. Even when drinking soup, he made no noise.

His long fingers held the spoon, taking one sip at a time.

He suddenly felt this was the most delicious thing in the world, better than anything a chef could make.

He ate everything slowly, then looked at Joey.

Sebastian's eyes were deep. "Joey, will you watch a breakup movie with me tonight?"

Joey's eyes showed a hint of a smile. "After the movie, what then? Do you want breakup sex too?"

"If you agree, I can go along with it."

"Are you joking?"

Joey suddenly stood up from the chair, angrily walked to the door, and opened it.

Her voice was full of anger. "Take your things and get out!"
