True Love Deserves a Second Chance

The dishes were served, and the waiter quietly left.

Ryan picked up the red wine and poured a glass for Joyce, a hint of uncontrollable excitement on his lips.

He and Joyce had been apart for two years, and every time deep in night, the happy moments they shared would flash in his mind. Every time he thought of a frame, his heart felt like a needle was piercing it, causing a dull pain.

During important holidays, he would stand on the other side of the ocean, looking across.

He really wanted to return to Joyce's side and hold her tightly in his arms.

He wanted to tell her that their child was still alive.

But whenever he thought of the hurt Joyce had suffered because of him, all his impulsive thoughts were drowned in the sea.

The rose-colored wine, with its rich aroma, slowly flowed into the glass.

Just like his current mood, filled with deep longing for Joyce.

He just wanted to sit next to Joyce and have a good meal with her.

Even if he couldn't do anything else.

Ryan handed the wine to Joyce, just about to say something.

At that moment, his phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, he immediately looked at Joyce, "Sorry, I need to take this call."

Joyce had good eyesight and an amazing memory.

Although Ryan's phone didn't have the caller's name saved.

Seeing those numbers, she still knew who it was.

Leonard.

Joyce nodded calmly.

She watched Ryan leave the room, then took out her phone and sent a message.

Soon, she received a reply.

Looking at the message, Joyce's beautiful eyes gradually turned deep.

Ryan walked to a secluded corner and then answered the call.

"What's up?"

"Sebastian, we found out that Lena put something in your drinks. I think she wants Ryan to have sex with Joyce and then expose it, completely making you lose hope in Joyce." Hearing this, Ryan's eyes turned even colder.

He said in a deep voice, "If she wants to die so quickly, let's move our plan forward to tonight."

"Okay, I got it."

Hanging up the phone, Ryan immediately returned to the private room.

But as soon as he opened the door, he saw Joyce lying on the table.

He instantly felt something was wrong and rushed over.

Ryan urgently called out, "Joyce, what's wrong?"

Joyce's face was flushed and her eyes looked at him as if they had hooks.

Her voice was soft and seductive.

"Mr. Ward, I... I'm so hot, I feel so uncomfortable."

Seeing the empty wine glass, Ryan instantly understood what was going on.

He brushed Joyce's cheek, which was frighteningly hot.noveldrama

He immediately bent down and held Joyce in his arms, soothing her in a low voice, "Joyce, I'll take you to a room to rest."

Her burning lips kept rubbing against his neck, making low, unbearable sounds from her throat.

"Sebastian"

Hearing this call, Ryan felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He gently stroked her reddened eyes and softly asked, "Do you want Sebastian?"

Joyce nestled in his arms and lightly nodded.

Her eyes were watery, looking at him with a dazed expression.

In this state, she instantly broke down Ryan's psychological defenses.

He gently stroked Joyce's burning cheek, his voice hoarse, "Then just think of me as him."

Hearing this voice and taking a closer look at this face, Joyce's eyes widened.

She weakly said, "You're not Sebastian, Ryan, let go of me."

She struggled and hit him, trying to break free from Ryan's embrace.

But the drug was too fierce, and she had long lost her strength.

After a few hits, she collapsed in Ryan's arms like a puddle of water.

Joyce kept mumbling, "You're not Sebastian, you can't touch me."

Ryan's mind instantly recalled a few years ago when Joyce was also drugged by Isabella.

Back then, she was also calling out Sebastian's name.

Thinking of this, Ryan felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

He carried Joyce directly to the upstairs guest room.

He carefully placed Joyce on the bed.

Ryan's breath was already chaotic, his bloodshot eyes tightly staring at Joyce.

His voice was filled with undisguised desire.

"Joyce, I can help you."

The drug in Joyce's body was taking effect, making her feel like she was being bitten by countless ants.

She struggled to suppress her desire, looking at Ryan with dazed eyes.

She panted and said, "You're not Sebastian, I don't want your help, I want to take a cold bath."

After saying that, Joyce climbed off the bed, trying to walk towards the bathroom.

But Joyce's body had long lost its strength, and she fell into Ryan's arms again before taking a step.

Seeing her in such pain yet so persistent.

Ryan's last line of defense finally collapsed.

He tore off the disguise mask on his head, revealing Sebastian's handsome face.

His voice also returned to Sebastian's original tone.

He gently cupped Joyce's burning cheeks with his big hands, his voice hoarse, "Joyce, look at who I am."

Hearing this familiar voice again, Joyce's body stiffened.

She slowly looked up, her gaze falling on Sebastian's chiseled face.

Her breath stopped at that moment and tears burst from her eyes.

Joyce bit her lip hard, only this way could she make herself more awake.

She looked at Sebastian with tear-filled eyes, her voice choked, "Sebastian, why did you lie to me?"
