Kneeling for a Second Chance Novel

---- Chapter 351 The app could even monitor the pets' blood metrics and moods. At that moment, the screen showed that Potato was very sad. Valeria stood up. "I need to go home and check on the dog." She wondered why he was suddenly sad. Now, she was faced with an upset Potato, a talking Nemo, and Sebastian with a stomachache. Valeria couldn't help but laugh. Sebastian held her from behind, his chin brushing against her shoulder, his breath warm as it slipped into her ears. "Get Potato a girlfriend. Then, he probably wouldn't be sad." "Let me go." Valeria looked at the app.

Potato's profile was shrouded in dark clouds and was marked with the label " Feeling Down". "Not everyone is like you, with only one thing on your mind. You spent three years in Shagos on your own, didn't you?" It was precisely because of those three years that Sebastian knew that if he kept suppressing himself, he would go mad. Now, if he were forced to leave Valeria for even three days, he wouldn't be able to bear it. All the nights and days of the three years away, he had thought of her to the point of madness, wishing he could ---- sprout wings and fly to her side.

Even if it meant turning to ash and foam in the midst of war, he would still come back, just so he could be a tree in her courtyard . He would become the heavy orange persimmons hanging from its branches, swaying in the autumn wind, falling at her side. Valeria didn't know what was in his heart. She only noticed how his eyes seemed to drown her. It was gentle, like the glow of morning outside the window. Sebastian cupped her face, cherishing her as if she were the most precious thing in the world. "I've met some very interesting friends over these past three years.

If there's a chance, I'll take you to meet them." "Okay." She nodded. She remembered the Instagram posts Sebastian had made- the kind-hearted dark-skinned dean, the resolute female doctor, Susan, the blond young man with blue eyes, and the adorable little girl, Tracy. Sebastian's gaze fell on her soft lips. He couldn't resist lowering his head to kiss her. Valeria instinctively pressed her lips together , but he easily pried her teeth apart. Just as the kiss deepened, Nemo suddenly barked toward the door. The sound broke them apart.

Valeria's lips were flushed a dewy red, her lipstick completely ---- gone. She glanced at the time. "I need to get to work. Remember to eat, and let Calvin take you to the hospital for a check-up later this morning." She tried to leave, but he caught her wrist. She sighed helplessly, then nodded in compromise. "Tonight... " Sebastian rose, his movements composed. With the pad of his finger , he brushed across her lips, wiping away any trace of the kiss.

"Alright." The rough texture of his fingertip lingered against her mouth, carrying a silent message as if saying, "Let's see how you plan to escape tonight." At 9:30 am, Calvin knocked on the door, right on time, to remind Sebastian of the hospital visit. "Ms. Neal called and said I must take you to the hospital for a check-up this morning." "Which Ms. Neal?" Sebastian's cold gaze swept over him. "I meant Mrs. Grant. Mrs. Grant just called and asked me to make sure you go for your follow-up today." Calvin bowed his head, sweat beading and dripping down his face.

At 11:00 am, Calvin and Sebastian came out of the hospital . The black Maybach rolled slowly down the street. That afternoon , Sebastian had to go to Azure Island. Belcour was nearly finished. ---- On the way, Sebastian looked out the car window at a young couple on a motorcycle. The woman sat on the back seat, holding a huge bouquet of roses. His gaze deepened. "Order a bouquet for me. Have it delivered to Etoile at the same time every day." As he spoke, his fingers toyed with the ring on his left hand. He lowered his head and glanced at it. It was his and Valeria's matching wedding bands.

He lowered his gaze again, and a smile tugged at his lips.
