A Second Chance 6

A Second Chance 6

Chapter

As soon as Josiah stepped inside, he caught a whiff of something cooking. He scrunched up his nose and asked, What’s that smell

The lights were on in the living room and the kitchen, and Josiah thought to himself, Is someone home? No way. Could it be a breakin? Nah, who breaks into a place just to cook?” 

After all, the security at Silver Beach was topnotch. Even a mouse from the neighbor’s place would think twice before trying 

to sneak in

Who is it? Show yourself,Josiah called out, his handsome face darkening

Coming!Sienna replied as she jogged into the living room. She stopped in front of him, hands clasped together, and spoke softly, You’re back.” 

Josiah was taken aback. Sienna was tall and graceful, though a bit too thin. She was undeniably beautiful, with large, luminous eyes that commanded attention. He didn’t recognize her, but she felt strangely familiar

Even so, Josiah remained unamused. He disliked anyone invading his space, no matter the reason. Who are you? How did you get in here?he demanded

Sienna paused for a second and let out a small laughhe really didn’t remember her. She pressed her lips together and replied softly, Tm Sienna.” 

Josiah nodded instinctively but suddenly froze. What did she just say? Sienna? Oh, right. Grandma mentioned bringing Sienna home

Earlier that day. Miranda had called him about it. He had agreed then, but once he got busy, it slipped his mind

Josiah squinted as he studied Sienna. Her youthful innocence seemed gone, and upon closer inspection, hints of her younger self remained, but now she exuded a touch of feminine charmshe was more beautiful than before

But so what? No matter how stunning she looks, it can’t mask a rotten character. Her return is perfect; some issues that have been on hold for almost four years are finally coming to a head, he scoffed quietly

Wait for me here for a minute. I’ll be right back,” Josiah said, shooting her a cold glance before heading upstairs

Okay,Sienna replied, watching him go. She decided to stay put 

After a short while, Josiah returned downstairs. He settled onto the couch and casually gestured to the seat opposite him

Take a seat.” 

Sure,” Sienna replied, and she sat down facing him

Josiah opened a folder and placed it on the table in front of Siena. Take a look. If everything’s good, just sign it.” 

what’s this?Sienna glanced over and clearly sa 

the words written in black and whiteDivorce Agreement

This should have been dealt with four years ago, Josiah said flatly. But Grandma disagreed, so I went along with her. Now…” 

Sienna looked up at him. Miranda agreed?” 

Josiah paused, his eyes narrowing slightly. No,” he admitted

Miranda was so stubborn. Even after four years, she still wouldnt let go. She brought Sienna back, hoping they could fix things. How could that be possible? He had already made up his mind

Chapter

I don’t like you, and you know that. This marriage was a mistake from the start. It’s been almost four years, and it’s time to end it,” Josiah said, Josiah said, his voice firm and deep

Sienna listened quietly, not saying a word

Assuming she disagreed, Josiah frowned. If you don’t agree, then I’ll love to file for divorce. We’ve been separated for over two years, so it will definitely be granted

No need to make it complicated,” Sienna gently interrupted before he could finish. I agree to the divorce.” 

You’ve agreed?Josiah was momentarily taken aback

Sienna nodded, Yes, I’ve agreed.” 

This genuinely surprised Josiah. He had thought, given Sienna’s obsession with him, it would take a lot more effort. But for him, this turn of events was definitely a good thing

After the initial shock wore off, Josiah composed himself and raged an eyebrow. In that case, let’s go ahead and sign it

Okay,” Sienna replied

Josiah handed a pen to Sienna. She carefully looked over the agreement and shook her head. I don’t want the house or the. money. Miranda raised me, and I’ve always owed your family.” 

Josiah found it amusing. Since you stepped into the Flynn residence at fifteen, you’ve been supported by us, up until now.That even includes all the expenses for your overseas studies and living, he added in his heart before continuing. You don’t have the ability to support yourself, so how are you going to live in the future?” 

A chill crept up inside Sienna. She silently clenched her hands tight and didn’t argue

Could it beJosiah narrowed his eyes and guessed, You’re thinking if things get tough, you might come back and try to bother me again?” 

I didn’t.Sienna’s gaze dimmed as she decisively denied it

If so, sign the papers quickly,Josiah said with a dismissive smile 

Alright, Sienna smiled slightly. She held the pen tightly and signed her name on both copies

Finally, Josiah felt relieved. Tll arrange a time at the courthouse and inform you.” 

Okay,Sienna nodded

Josiah took the agreement and, for once, looked directly at Sienna. Grandma is about to have surgery. Until she’s recovered, we need to keep the divorce a secret. She did raise you, so can you help with this?” 

Sienna was surprised. He didn’t even want her, yet now he expected her to play along

Don’t worry, you won’t be left emptyhanded. Once everything is settled, I’ll throw in an extra payment as a bonus,Josiah sneered

Sienna let out a quiet, cold laugh and nodded. Alright, I get it.” 

Okay then,” Josiah said as he stood up. We might need to see each other again during this time. I’ll take the master bedroom. As for you…. 

He paused, then added, Just pick a room downstairs and clean it up yourself. With that, he turned and headed upstairs

Chapter

Sienna watched him leave, faint smirk playing on her lips. Pick a room downstairs? All the downstairs rooms are for the staff? To him. I’m nothing more than a servant?‘ 

Sienna blinked, yet her eyes had already gone dryno tears left to shed. After taking a few deep breaths, she turned and walked back to the dining room

The pasta had sat too long, turning soggy and clumped together! Sienna sat down, shoved a big mouthful into her mouth. and felt like choking. But she was starving, and she had nothing else to eat

Suddenly, Josiah burst in. Sienna!” 

Taken by surprise, Sienna choked and couldn’t stop coughing

Tsk. Josiah frowned, shaking his head as he glanced at the bowl in front of her. What did you cook? Is this even edible?” 

Pasta,Sienna replied, finally feeling a bit better. Do you need something?” 

This mess is supposed to be pasta?Josiah sneered. You can’t even boil pasta? Looks like we really spoiled you over the 

years

Sienna’s lips parted slightly, hiding a smirk

Oh, right, Josiah remembered why he was there and pointed at her bowl, his voice cold. Don’t cook here again. The kitchen is a smoky, greasy mess because of you. Just eat at a restaurant. Got it?”
