Chapter 224
“What?” Josiah exclaimed, surprised. “Who has upset our dear Joyce? Tell me, and I will help fix things, alright?”
“No one.” Joyce replied shortly, lowering her head and pointing at her hair. “One Minnie is still in my hair, but the other is gone
It took Josiah a moment to understand that Joyce was talking about her hairpin, she had one on each side of her hair, and now only the one on the
left was left.
Josiah realized Joyce really liked Minnie. He responded, “How unfortunate?
“Exactly” Joyce pouted, looking clearly unhappy. “Tara and I searched for ages but found nothing. It was so sneaky!”
“Hmm.” Josiah nodded, trying not to chuckle
“Joyce… At that moment, Tara finally jumped in, looking at Josiah and remembering their last meeting at the park.
Tara felt that Joyce really liked him. Honestly, Josiah was hot; he seemed like a wealthy man, not a rogue. But one must always be cautious Tara held Joyce closely and offered Josiah a stiff smile. I’m sorry, sir. She is a bit clueless, and we’ve bothered you.”
“Not at all,” Josiah smiled kindly and shook his head. “Joyce is lovely”
Tara agreed. She hugged Joyce and said, “Well, we should be going now” Without waiting for Josiah to say anything else, she turned and walked away, mumbling to Joyce, “Where did you know him?”
“At the hospital”

“Oh dear,” Tara sighed to herself, realizing that Josiah was also a patient. She told Joyce, “From now on, you must get my permission before you off, okay? You might hurt yourself.”
Joyce leaned against Tara’s shoulder. “Tara, what will we do about the runaway Minnie? Aren’t we going to look for her?”
“If we can’t find her, then let it be. Tara comforted her. “We can go to the mall another day, and I will buy you a new one, okay?” “Okay” joyer considered this and found it acceptable. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she lifted her head and waved her am “Josiah, goodbye”
arm at Josiah,
Josiah couldn’t help but smile. “Goodbye”
Tara took Joyce’s hand, feeling both helpless and amused. “You hardly know him, yes you are quite nice to him? With that, she picked up her pace. Josiah smiled faintly as he turned his gaze away and headed toward the parking lot. “Back already?” Sienna asked, opening the car door for him. “That was fast.
“Yes, the pharmacy was awesome,” he replied. After getting in and placing the medication in the backseat, he started the car.
Sienna felt that Josiah seemed happier after the brief errand. She wondered if he had received good news in such a short time. She was curious but held back from asking, not feeling a strong need to know.
Leaving the hospital, they stopped again at TreMall for Miranda. Miranda had brought a necklace for repair, and Josiah was going to pick it up for her.
Josial turned to Sienna. “Shall we go together? You might find something you like”
“No, thank you” Sienna quickly declined. The watch she wore already felt heavy, she wouldn’t accept more gifts. She waved him off. “Hurry “Not a greedy girl, huh?” Josial teased, gently pinching her nose. He realized his girlfriend was a woman who could resist jewelry. Worried she might grow restless waiting for him, Josiah hurried his steps. As he reached the counter, he picked up the necklace and left. But as he got to the door, he stopped, turning back to ask the shop assistant, “Do you have any hairpins suitable for a linde girl?”
The assistant, slightly puzzled, replied. “Mr. Flynn, what kind are you looking for?”
“One with a Minnie theme?”

At the mention of Minnie, the assistant smiled and nodded, “We have just that design, a collaboration by a well–known designer. She took out a 1/3

They were indeed Minnie–themed, small enough to fit in a girl’s nail, beautifully decorated with white diamonds and a bright red boe

Jack at the car, Sienna leaned back in her seat, yawning widely.
“Tired of waiting““Josiah leaned in and brushed his lips against hers. “Sorry, but that was the last errand, we can go now”
“Mm–hmm
At the Flynn residence, the whole family was busy preparing for Howard’s wedding. When Josiah arrived, Miranda quickly pulled him into the chaos, with Sienna joining in as an impromptu helper. Surprisingly, neither Yvette nor Howard was around
Josiah casually asked, “Where are Howard and Yvette?”
They-
“Speaking of the devil!” Yvette appeared, glowing as she descended the stairs, arm–in–arm with Howard. She gave Josiah a playful look. “You bit grumpy. Have we worked you too hard?”
“Not at all” Josiah chuckled, shaking his head. “It’s all for my dear brother and sister–in–law.”

Josish glanced at Howard. “Are you going out?”
“Yes” Howard nodded slightly.
“You see, Yvette explained 1 with a smile, “1 organized a gown design contest.
Josiah asked, “And were there any results?“
“One of the submissions I really liked led me to set up a meeting with the designer Yvette looked up at Howard, excitement sparkling in her “Even though I will wear the gown, Howard’s opinion is important–we will go together.
Since their engagement, Yvette seemed to be wrapped in a bubble of happiness–it was so strong that even Sienna, who usually didn’t care, could feel it
Suddenly, Yvette’s gaze fell on Sienna’s left wrist, narrowing just a bit. But in a heartbeat, she shifted her focus. “Howard, shall we go?“

“I just can’t help but worry about you”
As they talked, they reached the door of the private room. The attendant opened the door and said, “Mr. Flynn, please come in Your r already here.”
