Josiah lowered his eyes, nodded, and said, “Alright, what do you want to talk about?“
“Aren’t you going to ask me how I got hurt?” she asked. On this matter, Josiah paused, closed the medical kit, and said. “Although I don’t know what happened. I think Howard wouldn’t do is on purpose”
“Hmm?” Yvette paused, tigged at the corner of her lips, and said, “Yes, he didn’t do it on purpose. Bat often, it’s the unintentional things that hurt

That was all he could say. Then he picked up the medical kit and said, “You’ll sleep in the guest room downstairs tonight, and III get you a set of clothes
Josiah went to the master bedroom upstairs, which was pitch dark, and Sienna was already asleep. He didn’t turn on the main light, just the wall Lamp
Then, he went into the walk–in closet, came out with a set of clothes, and sat down by the bed, Afraid of startling Sienna, he didn’t dare to speak loudly
“Sienna” Sienna didn’t make a sound, but Josiah saw her eyelashes quivering, knowing she wasn’t asleep. He spoke to himself. “Yvette is sleeping in the guest room downstairs tonight. I’ve brought her a set of your clothes. Take a look, is this set okay!“.
Hearing this, Sienna opened her eyes. She didn’t look at the clothes, instead, she spoke with a touch of amusement, I was just about to drift off to deep, and you had to wake me up. Why are you asking me about this?
Josiah held her hand, sensing slie was upset. He said. These are all your clothes. I had to ask you before giving them to her
Sienna lazily smiled. She said. “Don’t say y that. Everything here is yours, and you have the final say. You didn’t ask me when you decided to let Yvette stay, did you?”
“That’s because…..” Josiah’s eyes narrowed, his expression darkened, and he said, “It’s late. Yvette is in a bad mood, and she refuses to go home. She could easily get into trouble outside alone”
She thought. How considerate Sicana curled her lips, not wanting to say more.
Josiah explained, “The situation was urgent. I forgot to ask you I’ll be inore mindful in the f understanding that she would be unhappy with all that had happened tonight.

“Also, this clothes set, I noticed you hadn’t even removed the tags, thinking you probably didn’t like it. I’ll lend it to Yvette for one night, and I’ll have ties curs sent to you.” he continued.
She thought. Is it never–ending Sienna feeling annoyed, waved her hand and said, “Go on, isn’t she still waiting! Don’t keep her waiting too long? Seeing her attitude, it seemed she genuinely didn’t care. For some reason, Josiah didn’t feel relieved. Instead, he felt even more blocked up. “Hmm” Seeing him still sitting there, Siema found it strange and said. “Aren’t you leaving you

That was a habit she developed in Fliraty, where she, a woman with Joyce, had an extra–strong sense of security.
Josiah was about to turn off the light when he heard this and turned his head abruptly. Looking at the slender figure on the bed, he was shocked as he said. “You tell me, what do you mean if I’m not coming back?”
Sienna thought. Is there anything hard to understand? Sienna opened her eyes again, turned over, and said, “Isn’t Yvette staying? Don’t you have to accompany her? Comfort her? Coax her?”
“Sienna” Josiah frowned, his voice extremely gloomy and irritable.
Ever since Yvette arrived, she had been speaking sarcastically, and he had been enduring it, but at this moment, he couldn’t stand it anymore.
He said. Tve said it many times. Yvette and I are innocent. How many times do I have to say it before you believe me?”
I won’t believe it. I’m not Howard, so you don’t have to hide it in front of me.” Without a moment’s hesitation, Sienna shook her head, smiling.
She analyzed it for him. “How worried you were about her just now? For Howard, you always follow his words to the letter, but tonight… for her, you contradicted Howard. Let me remind you, if you don’t want Howard to suspect, be more restrained”
“That’s because Josiah was speechless. He thought, “How can I explain it?”
“Because what?” Sienna glanced at him, her lips curving as she said, “Let me tell you why–it’s because you care about her, you don’t want her to be wronged, and you lost control for a moment. Oh, right…
Suddenly, she remembered the earlier conversation. Narrowing her eyes, she said. Is it true that Howard have another lover? Do you now feel that your chance has come?”
“Sienna.” Josiah called out.
“Right” Sienna clapped her hands, laughing, “It really is your chance!” She urged him, “Go on. Hurry up! Don’t waste time here…
“Sienna“” Unable to bear it any longer, Josiah interrupted her, his voice tight with anger. “In your eyes, am I such a despicable person?” he asked.
“Yes” Unable to hold back, she didn’t hold back anymore. Sienna was truly disgusted tonight. She thought, ‘Our relationship is indeed one of mutual use, but can they at least not flirt in front of me? They should at least do it behind me, right?”
She pointed at the clothes in his hand and said, “What’s the point of pretending? You came to ask for my opinion? None of the clothes in the closet are in my style.”
“Are there only these two unmarked ones? There are m
many more, all in Yvene’s style,” she added.
Josiah was stunned and asked, “You don’t like any of those clothes? Why didn’t you say anything?”
She thought, Is that the point? “There’s nothing to say

Sienna shook her head and said, “I know what role I play. I’m your tool to hide your true love, and I really don’t mind. But in situations like tonight, please try to avoid them in the future.”
She continued, “What I mean is–don’t do it in front of me. It’s not that I’m jealous, but in my values, it’s really disgusting to be with one’s sister–in-
law
“Sienna!” Hearing her words, Josiah’s face darkened. He thought, “What on earth is she talking about?”
Sienna, tired of talking, waved her hand and said, “You can leave now, go be with your sweetheart. Don’t worry. I won’t tell Howard about your affairs. I’ll tell him that you slept with me tonight”
“Enough!” Josiah was so angry that his te
temples were pounding, his eyes and brows full of sarcasm. All that came out was a cold laugh
