True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 261 Wedding Date

Hearing this, Theodore felt a pang in his chest. He immediately took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and

took a few deep drags.

Then he slowly said, "But Sebastian is the man she loves, and he's the father of her child. They've been through

so much together and are finally about to hold a wedding. If Joyce finds out the truth, even if she forgives, she

will still live with guilt. | don't want her to suffer like that."

Leonard asked, "So, you plan to hide the truth?"

"If it's the only way, | don't ever want her to know" Theodore's eyes welled up as he looked at Leonard.

This was the best solution Theodore could think of. Joyce had been wandering outside for years because of the

car accident. Although Benjamin loved her dearly, she had lacked motherly love since childhood, and Angie had

a significant influence on her.

Joyce had finally felt motherly love and valued by her family. Theodore didn't want her to suffer again because of

this incident.

Leonard sighed deeply. "Don't forget, Joyce is a lawyer. She will notice any inconsistencies. Once Cordelia's

evidence is confirmed, it means the case needs to be retried.

"She is so famous in the legal world, and now everyone knows she has been recognized by the Taylor Family. If

any news about this gets out, it will arouse her suspicion."

Theodore pressed the cigarette butt hard into the ashtray, his voice hoarse. "We'll deal with it when the time

comes. There must be a better solution than sacrificing Joyce's happiness."

Theodore pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "Do you really think Cordelia is so vicious that she

would let her own daughter and son be together?"

Leonard looked at him thoughtfully. "There might be another possibility that Sebastian is not Cordelia's biological

son."

With this reminder, Theodore suddenly stood up from his chair, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "I'll immediately

test Sebastian and Cordelia's DNA. This can't be the end for them. It just can't be."

Joyce hung up the phone, her doubts dispelled by Leonard's words Just as she was about to turn and leave, she

saw Beatrice walking in with a delicate wooden box. "Joyce, | have something to give you. Your mother loved to

keep a diary. These are all her diaries from childhood to adulthood. | think you should read them to understand

her better. One of them specifically records her reactions while pregnant with you. You can take a look."

Joyce took the wooden box from Beatrice and slowly opened it. Inside were several diaries from the pink cover of

Connie's teenage years to the dark brown of her mature years.

Joyce picked up the top one and opened it. The title page had a few elegant words written on it. [Record of the

Second Pregnancy-Your Mom Connie]

[Today, | went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said | was six weeks pregnant. | am so happy. Baby, | will

eat more to make you chubby.]

[Today, | had a 4D ultrasound. The doctor said my second child is a daughter. | am so lucky to have so many

family members who love me, including a husband who likesand an obedient son. Now | have a lovely

daughter. My life is complete.]

[Baby, you have been in my womb for five months. You even accompaniedto a piano competition, and we

won a big prize. You are amazing.]

[Baby, do you like Seb a lot? Every the comes, you are the most active. | like him a lot. If you like him too,

how about | arrange a marriage for you?]

[Sweetheart, this necklace is a token of love from Sebastian. Your engagement with him is settled. | hope you

find happiness.]

[Sweet daughter, you will be born in a few days. | have prepared many little clothes and toys for you. The room

is beautifully decorated, all done by me. | am so looking forward to your arrival.]

At this point, the diary ended. Joyce looked at the date of the last entry, which was the day before Connie's

accident.

forward to her arrival, but in the end, she didn't live to see her born.

Joyce, now pregnant herself, could naturally feel Connie's emotions at that time. Thinking of this, Joyce felt a

sharp pain in her heart. Tears uncontrollably rolled down her cheeks.

Sebastian walked in just in tto see this scene. He immediately walked to her side, hugging her tightly from

behind, his voice low. "Are you thinking about your mom?"

Joyce sniffled a few times. "This is the first t| have felt motherly love. My mom lovedso much and did so

much for me. But why did someone have to take her life? Why did they have to separate us? | hate the person

who killed my mom. If | find out who the murderer is, | will never forgive that person."

Hearing this, Sebastian felt a sudden heaviness in his chest. He tightened his arms around Joyce. Although there

was no evidence yet to prove Cordelia's involvement, hearing Joyce say this made him inexplicably uneasy.

Sebastian lowered his head and kissed Joyce's earlobe, his voice low. "Joyce, no matter what happens in the

future, you must not leave me. I'm begging you, okay?"

Joyce turned around, looking at him in confusion. "What are you talking about? You are the father of my child.

Why would | leave you? We have so many dreams to fulfill as a family."

She stood on tiptoe and kissed Sebastian's chin, smiling. "You are the man my mom chose for me. I trust her

judgment. Honey, | will always love you."

Looking into her moist eyes and feeling the passion in her gaze, Sebastian's worry turned into extreme

happiness.

He gently lifted Joyce's chin, his nose brushing against her cheek, his voice husky. "Wife, | will always love you

too."

head and captured her soft lips.

Meanwhile, Benjamin, having heard that he was to set the wedding date, drove to the Winters Mansion early in

the morning. He went with Derek to a tarot card reader.

Benjamin took out Joyce and Sebastian's recent schedules, his attitude sincere. "Ma'am, they plan to get married

next month. Please choose an auspicious date for them."

The tarot reader, holding a crystal ball, stared at the schedule and said, "The 8th of next month is good. If they

can complete the wedding on this day, they will have smooth sailing from then on. But if not, there will be

hardships." Hearing this, Benjamin and Derek exchanged worried glances.

Derek asked, "Do you mean they may face hardships?"

The tarot reader nodded, taking out two four-leaf clover coins from her pocket and handing them to Derek.

"These are the luck Aurora has accumulated withover the years. | am giving them to you today, hoping they

will protect their lives." With that, she stood up and left.

Derek stared at the coins in his hand, his face serious. "What does she mean by protecting their lives? Could

Joyce and Sebastian be in danger?"

Benjamin was also very uneasy, frowning. "We need to warn them, be extra cautious.. But she was clear, Derek.

The eighth is the day. They need to be married on the eighth."

Derek agreed, "For their sake, for everyone's sake... they have to be. And we will have our men protect them."
