Chapter 286
Sienna was taken aback. She was merely worried he might catch a chill. It was her making him endure this embarrassment, shedding layers in the cold air—if he got sick, it would be her fault..
With a grin. Josiah slipped into the coat, wrapped up the soiled clothes, and tossed them into a trash bin. He smiled at her. “Alright, I’m all yours; no
one else can see!”
Sienna looked away. She still lacked the courage to face such a charming smile.
Upon rehiming to Silver Beach, Romilly opened the door for them. “Mr. Flynn, Ms. Shaw, the meal is ready. I won’t intrude any longer, and I’ll tidy the kitchen in the morning. Good night.”
With that she left. It was clear that Josiah had informed her beforehand. “Sienna.” Josiah embraced her, resting his cheek against her neck, and murmured softly. Tve missed you so much while you were gone. What about you? Did you miss me**
Sienna felt a flutter in her heart, her lips slightly parted. “1… I did. Um Before she could finish. Josiah lifted her chin and sealed her words with a kiss.
That night, as snow began to fall, Josiah held Sienna close, their bodies entwined in the intimate embrace that felt like the closest distance in the world.
Before dawn, Josiah woke up. He lifted the covers and tiptoed to the wardrobe. When he was back, Sienna was awake, draped in a cashmere shawl. her long hair loosely gathered behind her head. Josiah froze for a moment. “Did I wake you?”
Sienna shook her head. Twoke up on my own. Are you leaving already?”
“Mm. I have a flight at seven.”
Sienna glanced at the clock. “What about breakfast Aren’t you eating at home?”
“No,” Josiah replied as he took her hand. “I can grab something at the airport. Since you’re awake, will you walk me out?”
“Of course,” Sienna replied, having intended to do just that. She held his hand. “Let’s p
- go.
Hand in hand, they went down the stairs, with Sienna accompanying him to the foyer, watching as he changed his shoes. Josiah hugged Sienna, resting his forehead against hers. “Can’t bear to see me go!”
Sienna bit her lip and refrained from retorting
“Silly” Josiah smiled widely. “I’ll be back in no more than half a month. I’ll call you every day. Take care of yourself; don’t make me worry.” Sienna nodded, smiling as she gently pushed him. “It’s about time, bye.”
Josiah released her. I’m off. Wait for me.” He turned, opened the door, and, noticing the wind might bother Sienna, waved goodbye, “Go back inside; don’t let the cold get to you and the baby.
As the door closed, Sienna’s eyes filled with tears. She softly murmured, “Josiah, goodbye… They would never see each oth
other again
