True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 271 Spending the Wedding Night

The car had just pulled into the villa and hadn't even stopped when Baxter dashed to the back door, tail wagging and letting out a low whimper.

Sebastian got out, bent down, and patted Baxter's neck. "Easy there, boy. Give your mom some space, you wouldn't want to get her sick with all those doggy germs, especially not now." Baxter barked twice in protest but stepped back. When Sebastian helped Joyce out of the car, Baxter couldn't hold back. He whimpered at Joyce but stayed put.

Joyce waved at him. "Baxter, come here. Don't listen to your dad. Let me hug you."

Hearing her, Baxter quickly ran to Joyce, circling her a few times before lying at her feet, whimpering affectionately.

Joyce gently stroked his fur and smiled. "I missed you so much, but I can't hug you right now. I'll hug you after I have the baby, okay?"

Baxter nodded, his eyes glistening.

Sebastian helped Joyce up. "Don't squat too long; it could harm our baby. It's cold outside, be careful not to catch a cold." He led Joyce inside, his eyes filled with excitement. Baxter ran ahead, leading the way and looking back at Joyce as he ran.

When they reached the bedroom on the second floor, Baxter was about to jump up and open the door as usual, but Sebastian stopped him. "Baxter, go play downstairs. Your mom and I have something important to do." Baxter barked reluctantly but, seeing Sebastian's stern look, obediently lowered his head and left.

Joyce was about to say something when everything went dark. Sebastian had pulled a black tie from his neck and covered her eyes with it.

He kissed her forehead and said hoarsely, "Darling, you haven't seen the surprise from our wedding night. I'm making it up to you today."

Joyce smiled, puzzled. "What surprise?"

"You'll find out soon. Come with me." He wrapped his arm around Joyce's shoulders and slowly pushed open the bedroom door.

A faint scent of roses filled Joyce's nostrils. She took a deep breath. "It smells so good. Are those roses?"

Even though she and Sebastian were already married and expecting a child, her heart couldn't help but race at this unexpected surprise. It felt just like when they first got together, that feeling of excitement. Sebastian kissed her lips and whispered, "Happy wedding, darling." Then he slowly untied the blindfold.

What met Joyce's eyes was a room meticulously decorated. Light blue bedding and red rose petals scattered across the carpet. Every item in the room was thoughtfully arranged, even their slippers matching pairs. Joyce looked at Sebastian in surprise. "Didn't you say this kind of thing was tacky?"

Sebastian held her hand, looking at her with deep affection. "Only tacky if you don't like it, love. And I have a feeling you like it very much."

Joyce stood on tiptoe and kissed his chin. "I love it."

"What do you love?" Sebastian's large hand gripped her waist, pulling her closer, his intense gaze fixed on her.

"The room, or me?" He smiled, his voice low and seductive, his nose brushing lightly against Joyce's cheek. Joyce felt a shiver run down her spine and laughed. "I love both."

She wrapped her arms around Sebastian's neck, her eyes shimmering. "Honey, I love you just the way you are."

Joyce thought for a moment. "Enough to live and die with you."

Sebastian kissed her forehead. "If that day ever comes, I won't let you know I'm gone."

He cupped Joyce's face, their foreheads touching, their breaths mingling.

His deep voice lingered in Joyce's ear. "From now on, I'll protect you and our baby with my life. My goal is to make you both happy. I love you, darling." With that, he gently kissed her.

As their lips met, Joyce murmured, "I love you too, honey."

After so many separations and reunions, they finally stood in their wedding room, pouring out their hearts. Only they knew the emotions buried deep within.

Soon, the atmosphere became intimate. Joyce hadn't felt this way in a long time. Just a simple kiss made her emotional. Her flushed cheeks rubbed against Sebastian's chest, her eyes filled with desire. "Sebastian, are you sure this won't hurt our baby?"

Sebastian kissed her forehead. "Don't worry, I asked a doctor. She said as long as I'm gentle, it's fine."

Joyce blushed. "I can't believe you asked about that."

Sebastian picked her up, laughing. "I've asked even more embarrassing questions, like how many times a week is appropriate, how fast is too fast, and..."

Joyce covered his mouth, playfully glaring. "Stop talking."

"Okay, I won't talk. I'll just do it, alright?" As soon as he finished speaking, Joyce felt a familiar sensation.

She let out a soft moan, a sound that continued late into the night.

Joyce was 22 weeks pregnant, and her belly had grown significantly. But she didn't look bloated, and her complexion was rosy.

Aurora smiled at her. "Joyce, you don't look pregnant from behind. They say this means it's a boy."

Beatrice shook her head, smiling. "I guess it's a girl. When Connie was pregnant, she looked just like Joyce. Look at Joyce's complexion; it's so good. If it's a girl, that would be wonderful. The Taylor Family doesn't have a girl in this generation yet." "Boy or girl, we love them both," Beatrice added.

Joyce laughed. "We'll know after the ultrasound. You don't need to guess. The baby's gender is already determined."

"Alright, you two go ahead. We'll be here, making something delicious for you." Aurora and Beatrice, both in their seventies, took off their coats and cheerfully walked into the kitchen.

Sebastian sensed their excitement and smiled as he hugged Joyce. "Do you want our baby to be a boy or a girl?"

Joyce thought for a moment. "Honestly, I just want our baby to be healthy and happy, regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl. As long as they grow up loved and supported, that's what matters most."

Sebastian playfully pinched her cheek. "You're so considerate. Are you trying to make me love you even more?"

He squished Joyce's face together, kissed her, and laughed. "Let's go find out if our baby is a boy or a girl."
