True Love Deserves a Second Chance

When Alissa heard that, a flicker of sadness crossed her eyes.

It had been two years, and Joyce still didn't know the truth.

Paxon was super attached to Joyce and would often wait at home for her to visit.

Alissa crouched down, brushed Paxon's soft cheek, and smiled, "How about I wait with you for Aunt Joyce?" Paxon nodded obediently.

Soon, he saw Joyce's car pull in, and his eyes lit up.

He grinned and said, "Mom, Aunt Joyce is here. I'm going to get her."

Alissa patted his head and smiled, "Run slowly."

As soon as Joyce got out of the car, she saw Paxon running towards her like an excited puppy.

He ran while shouting, "Aunt Joyce, why did you take so long? I missed you so much."

Joyce immediately bent down to hug him and kissed his chubby cheek.

She smiled and said, "Sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way. Did I make my baby wait too long?"

Hearing the word "baby," Paxon's eyes sparkled.

He hugged Joyce's neck, tilted his little head, and asked, "Aunt Joyce, am I your baby too?"

"Of course, I really like Paxon."

"Who do you love more, Neil or me, Aunt Joyce?"

He blinked his big eyes, looking all hopeful.

Joyce smiled, "I'll tell you a secret, but you can't tell Neil, okay?"

Paxon nodded eagerly, "Okay, I won't tell."

Joyce whispered in his ear, "I like Paxon the most."

Hearing this, Paxon smiled contentedly, stretched out his little finger, and said solemnly, "I swear I won't tell anyone."

Joyce adored his cute demeanor at that moment.

She didn't know why, but she had a special feeling for Paxon from the bottom of her heart.

Maybe it was because he looked like her.

She transferred all her love for her baby to him.

As they walked inside with their things, Julian came out of the living room.

He smiled and patted Paxon's head, "Why are you making Aunt Joyce carry you again? You're already two years old."

Paxon pouted and said, "I am still a kid. Mom is not a kid, but you carry her all the time. Why are you picking on me?"

Hearing this, Julian glared at Alissa.novelbin

"Honey, Paxon is jealous again."

Alissa glared back at him, "Wasn't it totally because you never consider your kids?"

Seeing their current relationship, Joyce smiled with relief, "Alissa, Julian, the kids are all grown up. Shouldn't you two have a wedding ceremony?"

Julian looked at Alissa with deep affection, "I proposed, and everything for the wedding is ready, but she just won't marry me. Can you help persuade her?"

Alissa took the things from Joyce's hands and smiled, "I think it's fine like this. Marriage is too troublesome. If the relationship doesn't run smoothly, we have to get a divorce. I don't have the energy to fight him in court." Hearing this, Joyce's smile turned a bit bitter.

Her marriage had not only affected Sophia but also Alissa.

She and Sebastian used to be a couple everyone envied, just as Sophia often said, "If you and Sebastian break up, I will never believe in love again."

So, when she and Sebastian separated, Sophia focused entirely on her career.

In terms of relationships, Sophia had made no progress to this day.

Luckily, Alissa and Julian's relationship had bounced back to what it was two years ago.

Still, the emotional scars Alissa carried made her wary of marriage.

Joyce gave a small smile, "Alissa, you and Julian have three kids. His career is solid now, and his family background is simple. You don't need to overthink it. We've all seen how Julian has treated you and the kids these past two years. Our grandparents also hope you two get married soon."

Hearing her words, Paxon tilted his little head and looked at Joyce, "Aunt Joyce, when are you getting married? Paxon can be your ring bearer."

That question made Joyce's heart ache.

She smiled and pressed her forehead against Paxon's, "Paxon, I don't even have a boyfriend yet. Marriage is still far away."

"Mom said lots of people are chasing after you. Just pick a handsome and nice one to be your husband."

Everyone laughed at this.

But there was a hint of sadness in each person's heart.

How could they not know what Joyce was thinking?

At that moment, a black Cullinan drove into the yard.

Seeing the license plate, Joyce's previously smiling eyes instantly froze.

Her heart was hit hard at that moment.

This car, this license plate, and the person inside the car-any one of them would inevitably remind Joyce of the past.

The car door opened, revealing Sebastian's long legs.

He stepped out in all black.

His chiseled face still carried a cold aura.

His deep ocean-like eyes were still filled with unreadable emotions.

Joyce couldn't help but tighten her grip on Paxon.

It was the first time she had seen Sebastian since their separation.

She had thought that after these two years, she wouldn't be as obsessed and infatuated with love as before.

But when she saw that face, her heart still ached so much that she couldn't breathe.

Sebastian took out several bags from the car.

Each step he took felt like it was stepping on Joyce's heart.

Paxon's bright eyes were fixed on him.

His little hands tightly hugged Joyce's neck.

His small mouth moved a few times, then he said, "Aunt Joyce, he is so handsome. Can he be your boyfriend?"

Alissa heard this and whispered, "Paxon, don't talk nonsense, okay?"

Paxon pouted unhappily after hearing this.

He forced himself down from Joyce and ran towards Sebastian.

Seeing Paxon, Sebastian's eyes became a bit moist.

He immediately squatted down and gently brushed Paxon's chubby cheek.

He said softly, "Are you Paxon?"

Paxon widened his eyes in curiosity, "How do you know?"

Sebastian bent down to pick him up, kissed his cheek, and smiled, "I've seen photos your dad posted."

Even though Paxon had never met Sebastian, he acted as if they were old friends.

He looked up at Sebastian, "Do you have a wife?"

Sebastian's gaze unconsciously drifted towards Joyce, his heart aching, then he said, "No, what's wrong?" "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No, I don't."

Hearing this, Paxon's bright eyes widened even more.

"Great! Aunt Joyce is very beautiful and gentle. How about making her your wife?"

Hearing this, Sebastian's heart skipped a beat.

He looked towards Joyce, the person he had longed for day and night, standing right in front of him.
