Chapter 11 

Let go!The moment Sienna’s skin brushed against Josial’s, she felt a shock and pulled away from him with all her strength

Sienna, did you just push me away?Josiah froze for a second, staring at his arm with disbelief flickering in his eyes

Sienna avoided his gaze, mumbling, I can walk by myself. just follow you.” 

What?Josiah raised an eyebrow, smirking coldly. You don’t want me to touch you?” 

He stepped forward, his jaw tight as he bit out, You think I want to touch you? If you weren’t so wishywashy, would I have even grabbed your arm? I don’t have a problem touching you, l it looks like you do

Sienna looked down, her lashes fluttering slightly, but she didn’espond

Josiah scoffed, a cold laugh escaping him. He turned and started walking away. Keep up.” 

Okay.” Sienna nodded, secretly relieved. Her reaction had been bit much, but she just couldn’t help it. When his hand had touched hers, it was like a snake slithering on her skin, which made her feel scared and queasy

Josiah walked ahead, his tall frame putting distance between them. He glanced back, clearly annoyed. Can you move a little faster?” 

Alright,” Sienna nodded and started to jog

Josiah halted, waiting for her, squinting slightly as he pondered, Sienna actually pushed me away. She used to be all me, but now… She’s indeed changed after those years overseas

That’s good, exactly what I wanted. It seems sending her away was the right call. If she had been this mature back then, I might have been able to see her as a little sisterjust like how Howard treated her

They walked in single file, and as they neared the garage. Josiah’s phone rang. He stopped to take the call. Hello, Yvette.” 

Sienna paused and stepped aside a bit to give him space

She couldn’t make out what Yvette was saying, but Josiah’s expression turned serious. He urgently replied, Stay there, don’t move. I’m coming right away.” 

He hung up and looked back at Sienna, commanding, Wait for me here. Then he dashed off

Hey.Sienna tried to call out to him but held back. Honestly, she wanted to tell him she didn’t need a ride and he should just go deal with Yvette

Now that he had asked her to wait, she figured she might as well do that. Josiah’s temper has really changed, seeming worse than it was four years ago, she thought

Yvette!” Josiah rushed to the restroom. He had assumed she’d left with her assistant Janet, but to his surprise, she was still around

Josiah, Yvette called out, sitting on a bench outside the restroom with Janet. She waved and smiled as Josiah came aloser

Josiah strode over, concern on his face. How are you? How did you hurt 

your 

foot?”

I just twisted it a bit, not a big deal. I might’ve had one too many drinks tonight,Yvette said with a smile. I came o stall, didn’t see the stairs clearly, and missed a step.”

Chapter 11 

How can you say it’s nothing?Janet chined in. You’re not being honest with Mr. Flynn. Your ankle is all swollen.” 

She bent down and lifted the hem of Yvette’s dress. Mr. Flynn,ke a look” 

Josiah noticed the swelling on Yvette’s left ankle and frowned, expression darkening. You were hiding this from me?” 

It’s my fault,Yvette replied, managing a slight smile. I just didnt want you to worry.” 

With you like this, I’m even more worried,” Josial said. Josiah sl. Hesitantly, he asked, Are you able to walk at all?No way.Janet quickly answered for Yvette. She tried to take a few steps, but it hurt too much: That’s why I called you.” 

Josiah nodded, still frowning, We need to get to the hospital,he said, bent down, and picked Yvette up while instructing Janet, Go get the car 

Sure thing, Mr. Flynn, Janet replied and dashed away

Yvette leaned against Josiah’s chest, pursing her lips. Sorry for the trouble again

What are you saying?Josiah frowned, annoyed. Taking care of you is my responsibility.” 

Got it.” Yvette smiled gently and lowered her head

Sienna glanced at her phone. Twenty minutes had gone by, and Josiah still hadn’t returned. She smiled and shook her head, confident that he wasn’t coming back

Josiah’d stood her up, but that was par for the course with him. He had a history of pulling stunts like this, and she’d grown. accustomed to it

Putting her phone away, Sienna decided to head out. There were no buses running this late, and a cab was out of her budget, But she wasn’t bothered; she’d just walk home

Josiah took Yvette to the hospital, and the doctor found out her ankle was just sprained, nothing serious. A cast and some rest would fix it; no need to stay in the hospital. After that, he drove her back to the Flynn residence

Yvette and Howard weren’t officially married. But as she had been pregnant with his child, though she had lost it, the Flynn family had already embraced her as one of their own, treating her like Howard’s wife

For the past few years, she had been living in the Flynn residence. Miranda was getting on in years and couldn’t handle all the household chores and errands at the Flynn place. So now, Yvette had taken over those responsibilities

Get some rest,Josiah said, helping Yvette into her room and onto the bed. Good night.” 

Yvette nodded with a smile. After a moment, she called out to him, Are you heading back to Silver Beach 

Before Josiah could respond, she added with a hint of sadness, It’s the right thing to do. Sienna’s back, and you should go be with her. If you stay out all night again, she’ll probably start making a fuss.” 

Josiah scoffed. What could she possibly fuss about? She’s already signed the divorce agreement, and in no time we’ll- Suddenly, he froze, a chilling realization dawning on himhe’d left Sienna at South Jeiacrity Nursing Home

Frustrated. Josiah shut his eyes before glancing at his watch. Two hours had flown by, and he figured she couldn’t be that naive to still be hanging around waiting for him

22:19 Sat, Jan

Chapter 11 

Somehow, he couldn’t shake the feeling of concern for Sienna.vette, I gotta bounce,” he said quickly. Take it easy, and get some sleep, alright?” 

Hey, Josiah,Yvette tried to call after him, but he was already gone. She stared at the closed door, her heart racing

Did he just say Sienna had signed the divorce agreement? After four long years, are they finally getting divorced? Yvette bit her lip, her brow furrowed as she lost herself in thought

Josiah dashed down the stairs and quickly found Sienna’s number in his contacts. But when he called, he couldn’t reach her -her phone was off

He frowned but wasn’t ready to give up. He tried calling again and again, but every time, it was the same disappointing
