Chapter 307
Josiah stood up nervously, admitting his mistake with guilt, “Sienna, it’s my fault for not listening to you.
Joyer said, “Mommy, I was wrong for not listening to you.”
Josiah’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he pointed at the cake. He said, “You see, I only fed her a couple of bites, and didn’t dare to give her more.”
Joyce chimed in. “Yes, that is right.
Seeing Josiah and Joyce respond in unison, Sienna was both amused and exasperated. She picked up Joyce and said, “Eat your meal nicely.”
Joyce replied. “Okay”
Sienna glanced at the cake with a comer missing. She was worried that Joyce might have a hard time digesting if she ate too much. She reminded, “Only eat if you can, don’t force yourself if you can’t.”
“I can eat it,” Joyce said as she held up her spoon. “I can definitely eat it!”
Senna laughed out loud. She patted Joyce’s head and said, “You are so awesome
Joyce’s appetite had indeed been a bit better lately. It was unclear whether it was because she was growing up a bit, or if the change in doctors and the adjustment of the treatment plan had something to do with it.
Joyce was tired from playing in the afternoon. After dinner, on the way back, she dozed off in Sienna’s arms, half–asleep.
Sienna held Joyce, looking out the window, silent.
Josiah kept glancing at Sienna. Worried to wake Joyce, he spoke in a low voice, “Sienna, are you mad that I showed up like this?”
Sienna thought, ‘He has the nerve to bring it up” She looked at Josiah and questioned, “Josiah, you’re a man of your word, right? You promised me. and you’ve already forgotten so soon.”
Josiah frowned. His voice was deep and gentle as he said, “I haven’t forgotten. I just really wanted to see Joyce. Don’t worry, if you don’t agree, I won’t acknowledge her. Just let Joyce treat me as her friend. Is that okay?”
Sienna asked, “Does my agreement matter?” She laughed sarcastically and said, “You’ve already done it, and only now are you asking if it’s okay?”
Josiah was speechless. He frowned but didn’t say anything.
The car stopped downstairs at the apartment building. Sienna, holding Joyce, couldn’t open the door. Josiah came over to open the car door for her. Worried about Joyce getting cold, he took a blanket from the car and wrapped her up.
He also worried that Sienna would be tired, so he reached out to take Joyce and said, “Let me hold her. I’ll take you both to the door and then leave”
“No need,” Sienna said as she shook her head. She refused, “I can go up by myself, so you can go back.”
Josiah’s eyes dimmed. He retracted his hand and said, “Alright.” He waited in the car for a bit. Once he estimated that Sienna should have arrived at the apartment, he picked up his phone and sent her a message: [Have you arrived?]
Sienna replied quickly. It was a picture of Joyce lying on the bed, covered with her quilt.
Josiah smiled, his fingertips gently caressing Joyce in the photo. His phone suddenly dinged again. It was another message from Sienna, saying: [I hope you keep your word.]
Josiah knew Sienna was referring to not acknowledging Joyce as his daughter, Josiah smirked, his smile spreading. He thought. Then I will not acknowledge her for now. Today I have successfully taken the first step.
On the way back to Silver Beach, Josiah called Zach. He said, “Find out what Charles is up to.”
Zach replied, “Okay, Mr. Flynn —_
The Flynn Group had East Entertainment under its umbrella and was not out of the loop when it came to entertainment news. Zach quickly got the information

After Josiah finished his shower, there was a message on his phone, saying: [Mr. Carter is currently busy with a h also in the cast. There was also an attachment- the production schedule of the crew.
Josiah smiled; he was confident in Zach’s ability to handle things. Holding his phone, he messaged Zach: [Tell the East Entertainment manager to come to my office first thing tomorrow.
Two days later, Sienna received a message that the production team was organizing a script reading. It was the first time she learned about what big production was like.
Charles was indeed a great director. The leads, Liam and Alice, were top artists with both talent and popularity. Looking around, Sienna seemed to be the only unknown newcomer. She hoped she wouldn’t hold anyone back
Sienna was
was sitting in a corner when, out of the blue, someone tugged at her arm. She looked up to see a girl waving and smiling at her from the seat
next to her.
Sienna was confused. She thought. Do I know her?
The girl switched seats with someone nearby and sat next to Sienna. She introduced herself with a smile. Tm Maggie, and we’ve met before.”
Hello,” Sienna politely greeted, but she still couldn’t remember. She found Maggie looked indeed somewhat familiar.
Seeing Sienna’s puzzled expression, Maggie said, “Remember? At Flynn Group, in the CEO’s office, we even went to a banquet together.
With such a detailed explanation, it dawned on Sienna, and she remembered. She said, “It’s you, Maggie. The one who was supposedly Josiah’s new girlfriend and was dumped by him at the banquet.
At that time, Sienna was bored and had even taken a photo of Maggie, searching for her online.
Maggie nodded with a smile. She said, “Yes, it’s me.” She extended her hand to Sienna and said, “Let’s formally introduce ourselves. I’m Maggie, an artist from East Entertainment. I don’t even know your name yet”
Sienna introduced herself and shook Maggie’s hand
“Great” Maggie took out her phone and said. “Let’s add each other on WeChat”
Sienna replied, “Okay.” Since they were in the same production crew, she didn’t refuse.
Maggie had a very outgoing personality and chatted non–stop. “Are you also an artist with East Entertainment! No one told me you were coming. We could have come together. It would have been nice to have company.”
Sienna was about to say that she wasn’t with East Entertainment, that she was a freelancer. But she didn’t have the chance.
At that time, the meeting room door opened, and Charles, Derek, the head screenwriter and producer, walked in. The buzzing meeting room fell silent instantly as the script reading began.
Two hours passed. During the break, Sienna was flipping through the script, marking her parts with a pen. As a newcomer, she had to pay extra
attention.
Maggie asked, “What are you writing?” She leaned over and exclaimed, “Sienna, you’re so diligent.”
Suddenly, the once–lazy conference room was filled with a chorus of voices, calling, “Mr. Flynn.” Everyone stood up as if not doing so would be a sign of disrespect.
Sienna was still imunersed in her own world when Maggie yanked her up, “Sienna, it’s Mr. Flynn! Mr. Flynn is here to support us!”
Sienna was confused. She wondered what Maggie meant. She looked up and saw Josiah entering with Zach.
Charles and the producer had already greeted him, “Mr. Flynn, why are you here!”
Josiah raised an eyebrow and said, “What Am I not welcome?”
Churles laughed and said, “How could that be? We’d be lucky to have you
your grace us with
ath your
presence.”
The producer smiled along and said, “Exactly! Mr. Flynn, you’re the biggest investor now. Your coming is always welcome.”
Sienna was stunned. She looked at Maggie in confusion and asked in a low voice. “Did East Entertainment invest in this drama?“
Maggie was also bewildered. She said. Thaven’t heard about it before. Maybe Mr. Flynn invested on the spot.”
Maggie suddenly became excited. She tugged at Sienna’s sleeve and asked. “Do you think Mr. Flynn did this for us?“
