Chapter 204
Why y did he suddenly say that out of nowhere? What’s our relationship even supposed to be? And he’s making me promises? Sienna thought.
What baffled Sienna the most was why Josiah was so insistent on reconciling with her.
Trying her best to make sense of it, she asked, “Do you think I’m that easy to manipulate?
“Easy to manipulate? Josiah chuckled.
It was the most ridiculous thing he’d ever heard.
Sienna understood his mocking tone and replied sarcastically, “You know Yvette and I don’t get along, but you
insist on being with me anyway.

“We’re bound to cross paths in the future, and I’ll still argue with her. I might even get physical again, like what happened on set this time.” She genuinely didn’t get it. “Doesn’t that give you a headache?”
‘Other people date to have fun. He wants to be with me, knowing I’ll argue with him every day… Is he crazy? she thought.
Josiah smirked and raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong! Are you worried about me?
For a moment, Sienna was stunned. She felt both angry and utterly speechless.
“TI say it again,” Josiah said, smiling. He seemed quite pleased, convinced that Sienna cared about him, though that was entirely his own assumption.
“Whether you want to interfere in my business or worry about me, you’ll need to be my girlfriend first to have the right. We have nothing to do with each other right now, so it’s inappropriate for you to be so concerned about me”
Sienna took a deep breath, silently clenching her fists.
Does he think I’m joking‘ Rosie’s still stuck in detention, waiting to be rescued she thought.
Her anger boiled over, and she glared at Josiah. “Mr. Flynn, you’ve always been so high and mighty, haven’t you? In your eyes, ordinary lives something you can toy with as you please, aren’t they?”

Josiah paused, sighed softly, and lowered his head.
“Toy with With a single word, you’ve decided both my fate and your friend’s. Aren’t you the one toying with me?” he replied.
“What kind of nonsense is that Sienna thought.
Her gaze sharpened as she locked eyes with Josiah
At that moment, there was no emotion in his expression, no smile, no anger, just an intense, unwavering look in his eyes, both passionate and “My phone will be on 24/7. I’m waiting for your response,” he said.
Bienna was dumbfounded, left utterly at a loss for words. She realized there was no way to communicate with him.
What’s his deal Why does this shield have to be mer‘ she thought.

Josiah drove her back in Sunshine Neighborhood.
That night, Sienna was deutined to toss and turn in bed. It wasn’t until the early hours that she finally drifted into a light sleep

“Mommy, are you feeling okay?” Joyce asked with concern.
I turned out Joyce was worried about her
“Tim fine.” Sienna said, pinching Joyce’s chubby cheeks. “I just decided to sleep in today”
Joyce beamed and snuggled into her mother’s arms. “Then I’ll sleep in with Mommy too.”
“Sure.” Sienna replied with a smile.
Holding Jover close, Sienna felt both heartache and guilt.
Joyce. I’m going to get busy
busy again. But I promise I’ll do my best to end all of this as soon as possible, she thought
After leaving Sunshine Neighborhood, Sienna headed to Silver Beach.
No matter what, she had to resolve Rosie’s crisis first.
As for everything else, she would just take it one step at a time and adapt as needed.
Meanwhile, at the Flynn residence, after breakfast, Hervey helped Howard, who was leaning on his cane, to the study.
Howard had spent the last few days trying to move without his wheelchair. After consistent rehabilitation, he could now walk with the help of a cane, albeit slowly
“Go ahead,” Howard said, settling onto the couch and placing his cane beside him. The moment Hervey entered, Howard knew he had something
Earlier, with Miranda present, Hervey had held back.
“Yes, Howard,” Hervey began, lowering his voice as usual. “Oh, well, do you know who hurt Ms. Young?” There was an

Howard frowned, but without any evidence, he couldn’t guess.
“Someone I know Howard asked.
“Yes,” Hervey confirmed with a nod. “It’s Rosie.”
1t was her? Howard was stunned. His hand, resting on his thigh, clenched tightly.
The air grew tense. Howard remained silent, and Hervey didn’t dare to continue
Adier a long pause. Howard furrowed his brows and finally spoke. “Prepare the car. We’re going to the police station, Notify Gilbert.”
“Yes, Howard” As soon as Howard mentioned Gilbert’s name, Hervey understood his intent.
Standing at the gates of Silver Beach for a while, Sienna finally r

“Sit here.” Josiah said, patting the spot beside him
Sienna paused for a moment before heading to a single–seater sofa on his side.
Josiah’s gaze darkened briefly. “I thought you came here because you’d made up your mind,”
“I have,” Sienna replied with a nod.
“Oh!” Josiah’s voice was cool, though a trace of nervousness and anticipation laced his smile,
Then tell me. What’s your decision?” He looked at her intently.
Sienna pressed her lips together and met his gaze. “Till agree to your request. We can reconcile.”
“Yes! Perfect! I knew you’d say yes, Josiah was ecstatic, unable to suppress the corners of his
his mouth from curling upward.
He patted the spot next to him again. “Come sit here. Why are you sitting so far away?”
Sienna frowned. Let me finish.”
“What! Go ahead” Josiah nodded eagerly. Do you have a condition? Just say it.
“Alright.” Sienna took a deep breath and began sharing the thoughts she’d mulled over all night.
“You said before that unless there was a major mistake, I couldn’t break up with you, I want to define what constitutes a major mistake, Sienna
stated
Ta that really necessary? Josiah chuckled, brushing it off. “I know what you mean. Don’t worry. I won’t cheat on you or get involved with other women besides you…”
Josiah, listen to me. Sienna interrupted him coldly, unwilling to hear his grandiose promises.
Her tone was soft yet firm. “If another situation arises between Yvette and me, like what happened last time, and you take her side again, we’re done. And I don’t want you making things difficult for me anymore.”
She stared straight into his eyes, her own clear and unwavering. “Can you

do that? If you can, then forget I ever brought up breaking up. But if you can’t, then do me a favor and stop mistreating me,” she added, Her eyes glistened slightly, though it was partly due to her own acting.
After rehearsing this moment all night, she felt a tinge of genuine emotion as her voice wavered faintly. “I won’t accept being anything less than the most important person in my boyfriend’s heart.
