Joey freaked out and scrambled off the bed. She wanted kids, but this was too much stress.


    Sebastian smirked as he watched her stumble into the bathroom.novelbin


    Since that day, the room was always filled with pleasant chimes, sometimes ringing all night.


    Joey had been swamped with a divorce case for a week.


    When she got home, she and Sebastian went at it non-stop, leaving her feelingpletely worn out.


    The next morning, shey in bed, sore and aching, and buried her head under the covers.


    Winter sunlight streamed through the curtains, hitting Joey''s exposed calf, giving her skin a golden glow.


    Her silver anklet sparkled and made a crisp, pleasant sound.


    Sebastian walked over, pinched her cheek, and said, "Babe, I have to go on a business trip for a few days. Be good and wait for me."


    He kissed her, intending it to be brief, but deepened it, thinking about not seeing her for half a month.


    Joey, still dazed from the kiss, caught the important part: Sebastian was going on a trip. She could finally rx.


    She opened her eyes, her voice still hoarse. "How long will you be gone?"


    "About half a month. I''lle back ASAP. What gift do you want?" Sebastian asked, kissing her forehead.


    Since rekindling their rtionship, they spent all their free time together, mostly in bed. Joey was like a drug to him.


    Joey was thrilled but kept a calm face. She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Gone that long? What if I miss you?"


    Sebastian, pleased, lifted her chin and smiled. "Video call me if you miss me. Take the bodyguard when you go out, eat well, sleep well, and don''t lose the weight you''ve gained, okay?" Joey nodded. "Got it."


    Sebastian gave more instructions and a long kiss before leaving.


    As he walked to the car, Dominic opened the door for him.


    Just as Sebastian was about to get in, he saw Joey on the balcony, waving goodbye.


    He felt his breath catch. Seeing her smile, he wished he could rush back upstairs.


    He smiled at Joey and got into the car.


    Dominic, smiling, said, "Mr. Winters, I think Ms. ckwood has changed. Haven''t you noticed?"


    Sebastian''s smile grew. "Yeah, she loves me more now."


    Dominic thought, ''Mr. Winters, you''re a bit full of yourself.''


    As the car drove away, Joey hugged Baxter excitedly. "Baxter, that jerk''s finally on a business trip. It''s just us for the next half month. Aren''t you happy?"


    Baxter barked in agreement.

    "Joey, there''s a charity auction tomorrow night. Lots of pretty trinkets. Want to check it out?"


    Joey didn''t hesitate. "Sure, it''s almost Christmas. I need to buy some gifts."


    Mayaughed. "You should get something nice for Mr. Winters. He takes such good care of you."


    Joey blushed. "Who told you that?"


    "Mr. Winters'' Facebook posts. Haven''t you seen them? Sebastian, who never posts, has been posting non-stop since you got back together. Tyler says he''s like a peacock showing off." Maya sent Joey some screenshots of Sebastian''s posts.


    Joey realized Sebastian had blocked her from seeing them. She hadn''t seen a single one.


    [Meet my GF, future wife]


    [Late from work, in line for bae''s fave cakes]


    [My love really likes the food at this restaurant. Can I kidnap the chef?]


    [She won another case. What to do with such a capablewyer wife]


    [Just got on the ne and already miss her. How to get through theing days?]

    She knew Sebastian was making up for the past. They had been together for three years, but he had never introduced her to anyone. Now, he couldn''t wait to announce it to the world. The next evening, Joey met up with Maya and her family.


    Lydia was thrilled to see her, pping her little hands for Joey to hold her.


    Holding Lydia''s soft little body, Joey felt like she was melting. "You like me so much. How about I buy you a Christmas giftter?"


    Lydia babbled, not knowing what she was saying.


    Tylerughed. "My daughter says you have to buy her a big gift."


    Maya red at him. "My daughter isn''t like you, loving money."


    "Maya, while Sebastian''s away, you should get a big sum from Joey. You won''t get another chance."


    Joeyughed. "Doesn''t matter if he''s here. It''s not his money I''m spending."


    Laughing and chatting, they walked into the auction. As soon as they sat down, Joey saw a familiar figure approaching.


    Isabe looked at Lydia, smiling. "Ms. ckwood, you like kids so much. You and Sebastian should have one soon. With your genes, the baby would be beautiful."


    Then she looked Joey up and down, her eyes widening in mock surprise. "You''ve been together for two months and no baby bump yet? What''s wrong, can''t get pregnant?"
