Chapter 277
In Elysian Hall, when Josiah stepped out of the private room to get some fresh air, Chelsea quickly followed him. “Josiah, wait up?”
Josial glanced at her. “Why are you following me
Do you have to be so mean Chelsea pouted, ignoring his indifference. “We grew up together. You didn’t recognize me last time, and you haven’t apologized to me yet”
She was referring to what happened between her and Yvette. At that time, Josials didn’t recognize her
Chelsea came from a prominent family and had been raised to be straightforward, so she didn’t know much about holding back. Knowing Josiah would be there tonight, she took the initiative to find him.
When Josiah learned who she was, he felt he had to let the matter between her and Yvette slide for now. He couldn’t disrespect the Stewart family. But an apology!
A smille played on Josiah’s lips. How would you like me to apologizer:
With a giggle, Chelsea linked her arm with his Josiah, 1 like y

liked you since we were kids. Let’s date. I want to be with you.”
Josiah blinked, taken aback. It reminded him of a girl from long ago who stood before him with the same bright smile, confessing her feelings and saying, “Josiah. I like you. When I grow up. I want to marry you and he with you forever.”
However, that girl’s heart now belonged to someone else. People’s affections were fickle and hard to win over. Nothing in this world lasted forever.
Josiah said lazily. “Thanks for sharing.”
“No need to thank me Chelsea tightened her grip on his arm, becoming even more clingy. “If you just promise to date me
Josiah chuckled and interrupted her, “Sorry, but 1 have a girlfriend. You don’t stand a chance”
Chelsea raised her eyebrows, unfazed. “Why wouldn’t I? I’m confident that once you’re with me, you’ll like me even more.”
Josiah narrowed his eyes. Her arrogant and domineering appearance was exactly like Sienna’s back then. He remembered she had said, “Josiah, you are mine. I like you. One day, you will like me too.
“Hey.” Chelsea waved her hand in front of him and pouted. “Why are you so quiet? What are you spacing out for?”
“It’s nothing”
ing” Josiah came back to his senses and laughed. “We’ve been out here for a while. Let’s go back inside.
Chelsea held onto his arm even tighter. “Then will you dance with me
“No,” said Josiah:
Chelsea insisted, “I can teach you”
It was past nine at Silver Beach, and the food had gone cold. Sienna didn’t bother to reheat it. Plus, she had no appetite due to her pregnancy. Instead, she simply had a bowl of soup. That was enough to make her feel full
She headed upstairs, and by the time she finished showering, it was already ten. Sienna frowned and mused. ‘Is Josiah not coming back tonight?” Lying in bed, she unlocked her phone and scrolled mindlessly through her social media. Suddenly, her finger stopped. She saw a new post on Instagram from Chelsea. It was a photo.
The backdrop looked like a fancy ball or cocktail party. At a long bar, a man faced the bartender. His slender fingers, with pronounced knuckles. held a clear glass. He tilted his head back as he took a sip.
Chelsea leaned against him, holding his arm. She flashed a bright smile at the camera, her fingers making a heart shape over the man. The caption read. The two of us
An emptiness washed over Sienna. For a moment, she felt dazed, her mind going blank. Slowly, the reality sank in Josiah hadn’t come back because
he was with Chelsea.

Chelsea’s earlier words echoed in her mind. If Josiah isn’t sincere with you, I won’t hold back. She really

Chapter 277
Sienna set her phone down, turned over, and went to sleep.
When dawn was just breaking, she woke up and glanced at the clock. It was five o’clock. Josiah still hadn’t come home.
Sienna stretched and got up, rubbing her stomach. She was a little hungry. When she went downstairs to heat up some milk, she heard a noise at the entrance. Who would come at this hour! Is it the home helper this early” she wondered
“Romilly, is that you?” Sienna went over to take a look. But it wasn’t Romilly; it was Josiah. He was back.
Their eyes met unexpectedly. Josiah flashed a smile but didn’t say a word, avoiding her gaze as he brushed past her and walked inside
“Josiah,” Sienna called out hurriedly. She had been waiting for him to return, and she had things to say. It was time to settle this.
“Yes!” Josiah turned around and smiled at her. “What’s up?” Without waiting for Sienna to answer, he continued, “You wouldn’t be looking for me if you didn’t need anything. Just tell me what’s going on.
“Uh…” He smelled strongly of alcohol and perfume, and Sienna couldn’t help but frown. “I wanted to ask if I could move our of Silver Beach. Are we… Are we broken up?”
Josiah fixed his eyes on her. The fatigue from the night faded away, and his eyebrows raised slightly “Have I ever mentioned the word breakup to you?”
Sienna looked at him with a calm expression. “You didn’t come home last night. Weren’t you with Chelseat I saw her Instagram post.” It reminded her of that famous actress’s relationship announcement from a while back.
“Oh…” Josiah suddenly realized. He hadn’t checked Instagram, but he could guess that Chelsea had probably posted something vague. Still, he felt innocent; he hadn’t done anything wrong. What could Chelsea have posted that was scandalous?
After a moment of silence, Josiah stared at her face and laughed. “You’re really going to great lengths to break up with me”
Sienna was confused. “What lengths?”
“You really don’t get it!” Josiah’s smile faded, and he grabbed her shoulders, his tone turning sharp. “You’re trying to get away from me, so you’ve made yourself look bad, and now you’re accusing me of being a womanizer.”
Sienna was shocked. What… What is he talking about? I made myself look bad?” she thought.
Josiah’s eyes hardened, and his jaw tightened. “How can you say that the baby isn’t mine?”
He suddenly raised his hand and cupped her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze. “Look at me. Look into my eyes. Do you dare to say it again? That the baby is not mine?”
His hand moved down to gently caress her slender neck, a subtle threat in his touch. Think carefully before you speak,” he warned, his fingertips. curling slightly, as if he could snap her neck if he wanted to.
Sienna couldn’t help but cower, chills running down her skin. The ruthlessness in his eyes frightened her, leaving her speechless.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” A hint of hatred flashed in Josiah’s eyes. “Don’t you dare talk nonsense again. I’ve been treating you like a princess, giving you everything and more. I didn’t do all this for you to put yourself down like this.”
