Chapter 227
“Joyer!” Sirma was shocked by hem strongly Joyce reacted.
“What’s going on here?” Tara hurried over, surprised by the tense atmosphere between Sienna and Joyce. “It’s not right for Joyce to accept gifts, but making a scene over this isn’t worth it. She’s so young, talk to her gently
“You’re right. Sienna realized her impatience had taken over and she shouldn’t direct her frustrations about Josiah at Joyce. Taking a deep breath, she knocked on Joyer’s bedroom door. “Joyce, Mommy is coming in.”
When she entered, she found Joyce curled up under her little blanket. Sienna approached with a smile. “Joyce, it’s Mommy. I’m here to apologize” Joyce lifted a corner of the blankes to reveal her big eyes,
“I’m so sorry, Joyce.” Sienna frowned, her eyes shining with unshed tears. “I should not have scolded you Will you forgive me!”
“Mommy.” Joyce whimpered and jumped into her mother’s arms. In that moment, all the tension between them vanished, they were close again. Joyce added. Please don’t scold it scares mirt
“Tim truly sorry.” Sienna felt a wave of regret wash over her, her heart softening. “It was my y mistake, and I promise it won’t happen again.”
As they hugged each other, Sienna slowly steadied herself. After a moment, she gently asked Joyce, “How did you come to know Josiah?”
“I met him at Flirty,” Joyce tilted her head as she told how she had been bullied by some kids at the Fliraty Hospital, and how Josiah had come to help her.
Sienna thought. They met so early. Was their first meeting some kind of fate?
“Joyce” Sienna lovingly stroked her daughter’s head. “Do you really like Josiah?”
“Uh–huh!” Jover nodded. “I do”
“Why do you like him?”
“Because Josiah is kind to me
At that moment, Tara walked by and overheard and couldn’t help but chuckle. What would a little kid like you know about who is kind or not!” Joyce quickly defended Josiah “And also, he’s very handsome
“Oh dear Tara laughed. Just because he is good–looking doesn’t mean he is a good person.”
Joyce’s eyes sparkled with tears as she pleaded, “Mommy! Please believe me, Josiah is really a good person!”
“Alright, alright, Sierna said with a sigh, “I believe you?”
Joyce gave Tara a triumphant look before snuggling into Sienna’s arms. “Mommy is the best
Tara said, “Yes, she is truly the best
Now that Joyce and Sienna were back on good terms, Tara felt relieved and went back to her work. That evening, Sienna spent time with Joyce.
Sienna looked at the Minnie hairpins neatly arranged on the bedside table, then at the red Minnie toy in the toy cabinet. She let out a quiet, heavy sigh
When Josiah bought those gifts, he had no idea they were meant for his biological daughter, What a strange nature of blood ties. Even without knowing each other’s identities, the father and daughter had a special bond.
Closing her eyes, Sienna remembered the way Josiah had looked at joyce in the park earlier. That genuine affection and tenderness could never be
Taked
It dawned on Sienna that Joyce would be loved by her dad in the same way her mom loved her, Joyce was clearly yearning for a father’s love.
The next day at the Lightning Dance, Rosie said, “Sienna, my design has been picked

“Really?” Sienna gasped with excitement. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?
Rosie blushed a little. “I was afraid of jinxing
“You are great” Sienna looked at her with a playful glare. “Seems like Yvette really likes your design. Congratulations!”
Even though Sierma wasn’t fond of Yvette, she had to admit that Yvette’s endorsement fee was not cheap.
For Rosie’s design to be worn at such a big event–especially at a marriage into the prestigious Flynn family–Rosie was on the brink of stardom.
Rosie’s smile lit up the room. “I’m just lucky!”
“Keep up the great work”
“Absolutely!”
At noon, Rosie needed to get some supplies. Since the dance troupe had been quite slow lately, Sienna decided to go with her. While they waited, Sienna bought some yarn
She planned to use the yarn to knit two sweaters–one small and one large. The smaller one was for Joyce, while the larger one was for Josiah, as a thank you for his kindness to Joyce
She split the yarn into two bundles, putting th Josiah was meant for Silver Beach.

Josiah drew her closer. Tonight, we’re going out to eat
They went to Lucky Dining, Josiah picked the dishes, saying “Let’s start with these. As he closed the menu, a thought occurred to him, and he added. “No ginger or cilantro.
are you looking at me like that! Isn’t it you who doesn’t eat ginger
As Sienna sipped her water, she looked up at him in surprise. Josiah asked, “Why are you or cilantro?” He had no such dislikes.
Sienna blinked in disbelief, “How did you know that?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” Josiah raised an eyebrow. Ive shared countless meals with you. If I hadn’t noticed it, I’m blind.”
