Kneeling for a Second Chance (Sebastian and Valeria) novel Chapter 250

Now, after all these years, Sebastian never would have imagined that he was the one who couldn't live without Nemo.

"I'm sorry. I've been in a bad place these past few days and haven't spent much time with you. But once I win your Mommy back, you'll have a little sister named Selena. Then it'll be the four of us, together every day."

Nemo licked Sebastian's palm in response, as if to say he understood.

…

On Friday afternoon, Sebastian received a call while driving.

"Mr. Grant, this is Slate City Diamond Pavilion. The 20-carat oval pink diamond you reserved last week has just arrived by air. It's now at the Slate City Diamond Pavilion. Would you like to pick it up now?"

Without hesitation, he turned the wheel and headed straight for the Diamond Pavilion. He finalized the purchase and paid 5.2 million dollars for the diamond. The pink diamond was one of a kind in the world.

He looked forward to seeing Valeria the next morning.

Sebastian knew the reckless things he had done in the past weren't something she could forgive overnight, but he wasn't in a rush. He was willing to spend the rest of his life proving he had changed.

If she gave him the slightest opening, he'd take it

…

They had agreed to meet at 8:00 am.

Before heading out, Valeria mapped out her day. She decided to swing by Margaret's ward first to check on her and left a few instructions for the nurse.

The weather wasn't great. The late-July heat hung heavy in the air, thick with clouds.

By 8:00 am, the sun still hadn't broken through. The sky was covered in thick gray clouds, just like Valeria's mood.

Sebastian's car was parked outside the rehabilitation building. He leaned against the hood, dressed down in a white button-up with the sleeves rolled to his forearms.

Veins stood out along his arms. On his wrist was the same watch he had worn back in college. Valeria remembered—it was the watch he had always liked in college.

He was a man who could be deeply devoted and heartless at the same time.

Valeria looked at him. His eyes were bloodshot, like he hadn't slept in days.
