True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 276 Traces of Love

No matter what Joyce thinks, she has the right to know the truth. After all, Connie is her mother and the only one

who has given her motherly love." Sebastian thought to himself; he never intended to hide anything from Joyce.

Seeing the wrinkles between Sebastian's brows, Joyce looked at him with concern. She reached out her hand to

gently smooth them out. "Has something happened at the company recently? Why do you always look so

worried?" Sebastian looked down at her, at her round face, and the concern in her eyes. He felt moved and

tightened his embrace around Joyce. "Last time, they stole confidential company documents, which delayed the

launch of our new product. Domestic and international chip orders have also decreased significantly. But none of

that matters. What matters most tonow is protecting you and our child, ensuring you both are safe."

Joyce finally understood. Sebastian, deeply concerned for his family's safety, had made the difficult choice to

limit work travel and overtime. This meant Dominic shouldered a heavier workload, diligently managing many of

the business affairs, though their approaches differed."

Because of this evil force, not only was Joyce afraid to go out while pregnant, but Sebastian was also cautious in

the business world due to his concern for her safety. She secretly made up her mind. After giving birth, she

would definitely help Sebastian find the person behind all this.

When Sophia woke up, she felt incredibly sore all over, her head splitting. She stared at the chandelier on the

ceiling, and the scene from last night replayed in her mind.

She went to Ferris Wheel Restaurant alone, had dinner alone, and drank alone. Then, she was brought hby

Alexander. They slept together.

Thinking of this, Sophia suddenly sat up in bed. She angrily picked up a pillow and threw it on the ground. She

thought, 'How could | sleep with this bastard? Alexander has slanderedand loos down onso much, why

did | still sleep with him? Is it really true that drinking could lead to mistakes and clouded judgment?’

Sophia cursed herself a thousand times in her heart. She was building her career in the entertainment industry

and had seen all kinds of handsmen, unable to believe that she could be seduced by Alexander. She angrily

tugged at her hair and buried her face in her knees.

At this moment, a low laugh cfrom her ear. "What's wrong? Are you mad because you woke up and didn't

seeby your side?" Alexander stood at the door with a smug expression, arms crossed. Seeing him like this,

Sophia wanted to scratch his face. She gritted her teeth. "Don't be so wishful thinking!"

Alexander walked over with a smile, placing his hands on the bed. His handsface slowly approached her, his

voice low and seductive. "Or maybe | didn't satisfy you last night, and you want to go again?" Sophia knew

Alexander couldn't say anything nice. She picked up a pillow and threw it at Alexander, cursing, "Get lost! With

your lousy skills, | don't care!"

Alexander smirked. "My skills are lousy? Last night, who was it crying and beggingto go faster?"

"Alexander, say one more word, and I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"No need for you to tear it. My mouth is already torn, bitten by you last night. Look if you don't believe me."

Alexander pointed to the scar on his lip, smiling roguishly.

Sophia, furious, punched him in the stomach. "Who told you to say such nasty things? You deserved to be

bitten!"

Alexander wasn't angry; instead, he pounced on Sophia, pinning her down, and kissed Sophia's small face

wantonly. As he kissed, he said, "Now I'll show you what real skills are."

With that, he lowered his head and captured Sophia's lips. No matter how she struggled, his tongue skillfully

pried open her teeth. In no time, Sophia was kissed into submission, like a docile kitten, letting him have his way.

Alexander's large hand roamed over her chest, kneading continuously. A low, seductive voice cfrom his

throat. "Sophia, are you sober now?"

nodded. Alexander kissed her lips with a smile. "Good, now I'll show you my skills while you're sober."

With that, he yanked off his tie, and his belt was undone in an instant.

Sophia finally cto her senses, realizing what he intended to do. She pushed him away, scrambling out from

under him, and kicked him hard in the butt, cursing, "Alexander, why are you always in heat?"

Alexander lay on the bed, laughing. "You just said my skills were bad. Don't you know men hate being told

they're bad in bed? | worked so hard last night, and you didn't even compliment me. Instead, you insulted my

abilities." Sophia picked up a towel from the floor, wrapped it around herself, transferred $3000 to Alexander on

her phone without hesitation. She even added a note: [For your services.]

Alexander looked at the transfer information on his phone, laughing even more happily. "A measly $3000? It was

my first time, con."

"Are you kidding? Everyone knows you're a player. $3000 is already the price for a high-end prostitute."

Alexander propped his head with one hand, looking at Sophia's flushed face, teasing, "I am more handsthan

a high-end prostitute. Don't you want to consider adding a bit more? So | can provide better service next time."

"Get lost! That was a terrible experience, and there will be no next time!" With that, Sophia turned and went into

the bathroom.

An hour later, the two drove to Sebastian's house.

Just now, Sophia, who was glaring at Alexander in the car, immediately smiled brightly when she saw Joyce and

ran towards her. "Joyce, letsay hi to my godson."

She lay on Joyce's belly, gently stroking it, talking to the baby inside with a smile. The baby seemed to hear her,

moving excitedly inside the belly. She jumped up excitedly. "He moved, Joyce, my godson heard me." Joyce

smiled at her. "Yes, you haven't seen him for over ten days. He's not like you. My son even asked, 'What's

Godmother doing lately? Why hasn't she cto see me?" | told him, ‘Godmother is busy dating."" Hearing this,

Sophia's smile froze. She stared at Joyce in a daze, asking, "Did that bastard Alexander tell you nonsense?"

"No, he just toldyou two slept together."

Hearing this, Sophia gritted her teeth. "Don't listen to his nonsense. | just drank too much, and that just

happened. Anyway, it's no big deal. | just treated it like hiring a prostitute." Joyce looked at her in disbelief. "You

didn't sleep with him because you like him?"

"Like? Who says sex means affection?"

Not far away, Alexander deliberately wore a low-cut blue shirt today and left two buttons undone, revealing a red

bite mark on his collarbone.

Tyler looked at it curiously. "Who bit you so hard?"

Alexander glared at him, pulling his collar down a bit more, proudly saying, "A love mark. Can't you tell? Are you

stupid?"
