He turned and left. Sienna sat there in a daze, feeling a bit bewildered after venting Sienna thought. He is gone… and he won’t be coming back. rightr
She wondered. ‘Being a shield isn’t easy, having to witness Josiah and his sister–in–law; Sienna gently placed her hand on her belly, silently praying that the heavens would be kind and let her conceive.
She couldn’t bear to watch Josiah and Yvette flirting and being lovey–dovey, not even a little bit.
Downstairs, Josiah’s expression hadn’t softened either. Yvette noticed it immediately, took the clothes from his hand, and smirked. She said, “You kept me here, and she’s angry?”
“No. Josiah h shook his head, but his chest felt heavily congested.
“Humph.” Yvette sneered. “Don’t lie to me. I can tell she’s upset. But why should she be? I knew you before she was even born.”

She added, “Who does she think she is? She’s not even your wife yet, is she? Even if she were, she has no right to give me attitude” The more she spoke, the more agitated Josiah became. Yvette, it’s late. You should get some rest,” he said, turning to go u Yvette was taken aback. She thought, ‘Is he tired of me? Or is he eager to go comfort Sienna! She hugged the clothes tighter and stared at Josiah’s retreating back, her eyes filled with hatred, saying, “Sienna”
Sienna didn’t expect Josiah to come back so soon. He didn’t turn on the light, just felt his w pulled her into his embrace.

Sienna took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and smelled his scent. The smell of perfume mixed with disinfectant. Unable to you sleep in the other room?”
Not only did the person behind her not let go, but he held her even tighter, saying, This is my bed. I should sleep here, Sienna suddenly sat up and said, “Just for tonight, please? I’m begging you”
“Sienna.” Josiah turned on the bedside lamp, his features shadowed. He said, “It’s late. How long do you plan to keep making a fuss!” “I’m not making a fuss, Sienna took a deep breath and spoke honestly, “You smell, and it’s making me uncomfortable. I can’t sleep. “Smell? What smell?” Josiah tugged at his pajar
pajama collar and sniffed. He said, “I don’t smell anything: It’s hard to detect one’s own scent. Sienna stared at him, speechless. Josiah also remained silent, but his gloomy expression revealed his current bad mood. He felt she was deliberately picking a fight. After much thought, he held back and compromised.
He got out of bed and said. Til take a shower. As he headed towards the bathroom. Sienna suddenly got up, grabbed her pillow, and quickly ran
If he wouldn’t go to the other room, then she would. No matter what, she didn’t want to lie in bed with him tonight.
“Sienna“” Hearing the footsteps, Josiah turned around sharply, but he was a step too late. By the time he chased after her, Sienna had just made it into the next room and slammed the door in front of him.
“Sienna!” Josiah immediately turned the doorknob, but it didn’t budge. The door was locked from the inside.
“What’s going on!” It was Yvette coming up. With all the noise upstairs, she naturally heard it. Seeing Josiah being shut out, what else could she not understand?
Yvette sneered sarcastically, “Has she always treated you like this?”

The handsome man’s face was as gloomy as water, neither confirming nor d
“Misunderstandings?” Yvette didn’t believe his nonsense and said, “I think it’s her one–sided misunderstanding of you. No, it’s not a misunderstanding. It’s a slander”
“Yvette!” Josiah growled lowly, interrupting her, frowning unhappily. “Don’t talk about her like that Sienna is not an unreasonable person. She has her reasons for misunderstanding.”

He had to admit that Yvette was special to him. This kind of special, however, was incomprehensible to Sienna.
“Even though she treats you like this, you still speak for her? Yvette was first surprised, and after the surprise, a more complex emotion welled up. indescribable, yet causing her fingertips to tingle with pain.
Josiah Yvette chuckled lightly and asked, “You tolerate her so much. Have you, fallen in love with Sienna?”
Josiah thought, ‘Love? Josiah was taken aback, his brows instantly furrowing. He wondered, ‘What is love? The meaning contains in this word is too heavy. He wasn’t clear if he was in love, and he couldn’t easily say it out loud.
He didn’t answer directly, but instead asked, “Sienna is my girlfriend. Isn’t it natural for me to tolerate her?”
Yvette thought. He actually said that? A thin, mocking smile escaped Yvette’s lips. She wondered, Had he forgotten that Sienna was once his wife? But back then, he didn’t care about her so much. He had changed.
In that moment. Yvette suddenly felt doubt, even regret. She thought, “Should I not have encouraged Josiah and Sienna to be together in order to keep Howard?
Josiah didn’t sleep well all night. He got up early and went downstairs, not expecting Yvette to be up even earlier.
“Josiah, you’re up?” Yvette was busy in the kitchen, smilingly waving at Josiah. “Sit down, the coffee is ready”
Josiah pulled out a chair and sat down, and Yvette brought the coffee to him, saying. “Have a cup of coffee first. I’m making pancakes. Don’t you like them? I haven’t cooked them for you in a long time.”
“Making pancakes?” Josiah put down the coffee he had just picked up, saying. “What time did you get up?” Making pancakes is not a quick breakfast. It requires mixing ingredients and preheating pan, which is quite troublesome.
“I couldn’t sleep, so I just got up,” Yvette said, her lips tugging bitterly. “I saw there were plenty of ingredients in the fridge, so I made some,” Yvette said.
“Yep. Josiah nodded and said, “Sienna lives here. It’s not convenient if we don’t cook at home.” He usually eats out when he’s alone, so it was for Sienna’s sake.
Yvette’s lips tugged, her smile even more forced. She sighed softly. “You’re really good to Sienna. Your brother has never considered me in these

She and Howard had been together for so many years, and he indeed always met her reques Thinking carefully, he rarely took the initiative to consider anything for her.
Seeing the sorrowful look on Yvette’s face, Josiah advised. “Don’t think like that. Your situation is different. Aren’t you managing the Flynn family!” She has economic power, which means she can get what she needs without having to go through Howard
“No…” Yvette shook her head, looking at him hesitantly, her eyes brimming with tears
She said, “A man’s attention to a woman is not enough with just material things. It’s a feeling. Do you understand? Sometimes, your b even care for me as much as you do…
