“What helicopter? What cross–city trip?” Sienna asked.

The answer was almost obvious, Sienna held onto her head, trying to sort who flew me to the hospital by helicopter was Josiah?”
“Yeah” Rosie was confused. “You didn’t know? Didn’t you see him when you woke up! And he didn’t tell you something that important?”
Sienna fell silent. No. Josiah didn’t mention anything, and I didn’t ask. He assumed I knew, and I thought it was Cedric
After hanging up the phone, Sienna suddenly closed her eyes. She remembered Cedric had kept insisting he didn’t do that. It turned out he wasn’t being polite–he was telling the truth.
She thought, “So where was Josiah then? When 1 for me!
up, I didn’t see him. Did he leave early? But why would he fly a helicopter across the city just
I thought it was Cedric because he liked me and cared about me. But what about Josiah! There’s no way he would feel the same. That’s just crazy. It’s definitely impossible.
At this moment, Josiah finished his phone call and walked toward her, holding his phone.
Sienna lifted her gaze, taking in his chiseled face. Suddenly, she spread her arms wide, saying, “Hold me.”
Josiah was momentarily stunned, his Adam’s apple bobbing involuntarily. Her early morning adorable act was truly captivating. “Why are you laughing? Not willing to hold me?” Sienna frowned, slightly lifting her foot. She glared at him with a mix of tea “I’m not wearing shoes, and if I climb up myself, won’t you just get mad again!”
a mix of teasing and annoyance.
She was sitting while he stood nearby. She tilted her head up, her bright eyes sparkling like warm amber stones–so incredibly beautiful Josiah had always known she was stunning, but back then, he didn’t want to claim her for himself. Now, all he wanted was to make her his own, and he didn’t want anyone else to even look in her direction.
“I won’t be mad, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. Josiah leaned over and picked her up. He carried her upstairs and put her on the bed. “Do you still want to sleep!”
“No.” Sienna shook her head. “If I sleep too much, I won’t be able to sleep tonight.
“Okay“Josiah got up and handed her a tablet. “You can watch some videos or play some games. Ive got to handle some work first. I’ll come back to keep you company later.”
Senna couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him. “Go ahead. I’m not a child. I don’t need you to keep me company.”
“Alright.” Josiah pulled up the blanket to cover her, Suddenly, he remembered something. “By the way, why didn’t you tell me about moving“” Sienna’s heart skipped a beat, but she kept her tone cool. “Why should I? The old place was too rundown, and now I’m sharing a house with someone. This visit was unexpected. But please don’t just show up unannounced next time. It’s not convenient.”
“Inconvenient?” Josiah thought for a moment and remembered. “Is it because the person you’re living with has a child?*
Sienna’s heartbeat raced, and her palms started to sweat with nervousness. “How did you know?“
“Do you think I’m a fool! I saw the stuff for kids in the house yesterday” Josiah laughed, pinching her cheek. Then he frowned. “Is it a couple!” That would mean there was a man involved.
“What are you thanking Sienna was determined to keep Joyce a secret, so she wasn’t going to tell the truth. “It’s just a single mom with a kid” “Got it” josta let out a sigh of relief.
So it’s not convenient for you to come over! Next time, don’t rush over without giving me a heads–up, Sienna warned.
Josiah took the chance to long her. “Then promise me you won’t avoid me in the future, okay? When I can’t find you, I get worried sick,” “You worried sick! Humpdi. “Trusting a rush? Maybe you’re not worried enough yet

Chapter 185
Josiah fell silent, puzzled by her words. He didn’t dwell on it and headed to the study to focus on his work.
As soon as he left. Sienna’s expression darkened, and she tossed her tablet aside. Her mind spiraled with tangled thoughts. Could it be that Josiah has feelings for me? That’s impossible. But considering his recent behavior… what if it’s truer
Sienna was young and with Josiah’s attentive care, she almost fully recovered after two days of rest. However, her right hand was still wrapped in a bandage, and the bruises on her body hadn’t completely faded yet.
She was just recovering from a severe illness, and everyone in the dance troupe knew she was with Josiah. So, the temporary leader–Brenda was still recovering from her own injuries–scheduled Sienna’s performances earlier so she could go home to rest sooner.
In the past couple of days. Josiah had been picking Sienna up daily and staying at Silver Beach at night. The reason was simple–she was just getting over a serious illness, and her injuries weren’t fully healed yet, so she needed care.
Since the address of Sunshine Neighborhood was exposed, Sienna didn’t dare to confront him directly. If he rushed over and ran into Joyce, it could be troublesome. So she had to go along with him and temporarily stayed at Silver Beach
That day, after her performance, Josiah came to pick her up as usual. Once in the car, he leaned over to buckle her seatbelt and said. “You’re off tomorrow. I’ll take you out for something to eat.”
Sienna wasn’t very enthusiastic. “What are we eating?” she asked, not impressed.
“Chicken soup.” Josiah chuckled, explaining. “Relax, I know you’re worried about gaining weight. I wouldn’t dare give you just anything. This chicken soup is to nourish your body. It fills you up without making you gain weight.”
“Well… I’ll try it, then,” Sienna said reluctantly.
The place they went to was called “Soup Bowls,” a small shop hidden in an alley in the busy city. It was lucky that Josiah was able to find it. As Sienna got out of the car, she spotted a familiar figure. “Rosie?”
Josiah came over and took her hand. “Let’s go.”
“Wait” Sienna frowned, looking in the direction Hosic ran off to and asked. “Is that a hotel over there?”
“Yeah,” Josiah nodded, pointing it out to her. The sign says ‘Quick Stay Inn.”
Sienna was puzzled “What’s Rosie doing there?”
Josiah smirked and leaned in closer, lowering his voice. “Not to badmouth your friend, but hotels like this are mostly used for, you know, romantic meet–ups
Sienna suddenly looked up, glaring at him. “You seem to know a lot about this. Have you been here a lot!”
Josiali paused for a moment, then tapped his forehead, “Oh, my bad. I was just rambling. Come on, stop staring. She’s grown up; she’s not a kid anymore. Let’s eat the soup before it gets cold,” he said, wrapping his arm around her and leading her inside.
