Chapter 223
He looked at her, his decision firm like a man who had lost everything and was throwing away his last hope. He was betting that Sienna, deep down, held a place for him in her heart.
He left Sienna with no choice. She nodded as she stood on her tiptoes. “I will
Her soft, warm lips brushed against his lips in a quick, light kiss. Yet the little spark could ignite a big flame. Josiah quickly pulled her close, holding her tightly as if he wanted her to become part of him. Then, he opened his mouth.
It wasn’t just a kiss it was a bite. Sienna winced and frowned. “Josiah, that hurts”
Josiah gripped the back of her head, releasing her as he gasped for air. Seeing her swollen lips made him feel a bit sorry. He lifted his hand, gently stroking her lips. “Sorry”
He had lost control. His forehead pressed against hers, his hands cradling her cheeks, his voice low and a bit threatening. “You kissed me, and now you can’t leave me?”
He kissed her again. 1 gave you the chance to leave, but you didn’t take it Now, you can’t regret it”
Sienna leaned against him, shaking her head. “I don’t want to regret…
Just those words made Josiah feel like he had won far more than he had lost. His heart, which had been almost withering from disappointment, suddenly blossomed with hope.
His hands caressed her face, supporting her stubbornness. “Alright, since you’re sincere, I’ll forgive what happened tonight.”
Sienna smiled softly. Thank you ah!”
He suddenly lifted her up, her feet barely touched the ground. She clung to his shoulder as he put on a serious face. “Get serious”
“Oh Sienna mimicked his serious expression, still holding onto his shoulder.
Josiah raised an eyebrow, feeling pleased. “I let you go but you chose to stay with me this time. This isn’t a case of me forcing you to stay: you’re choosing to stay with me voluntarily. Is that right?”
Sienna could only nod in agreement. Josial’s mood lifted even more. To be honest, you were not entirely being forced to stay with me, right?” He thought, she had such a perfect chance tonight–why wouldn’t she leave? She must have feelings for me. But maybe her feelings aren’t strong enough: even her roommate could take her away from me!
Wait. I
I’m a man–why should I be petty with my own girlfriend?
“Sienna,” he said, holding her up as he looked into her eyes. “I’ll make you love me even more. Will you believe me?”
Josiah’s eyes were clear, as if he could see right into her soul. Sienna felt a moment of panic but managed to smile. “I’ll wait and see. Not quite an answer, but a response nonetheless. They shared a night full of passion.
The next day, Sienna woke up around eleven o’clock. She pushed off Josiah’s arm around her waist and got out of bed to take a shower. When she came out, Josiah was already awake.
As she brushed her hair in front of the mirror, he came out of the bathroom after his shower. “Oh, I almost forgot,” he said, going out to get something
Sienna was puzzled. Josiah went to the garage: he had left a gift for her in the car the day before when he was angry. He came back with a small box in his hand and placed it on the dresser in front of Sienna
“Open it and take a look, he said.
“What is it” Sienna put down the brush and opened the box. Inside was a watch; it looked familiar, like she had seen it somewhere before.
“Isn’t it familiar?” Josiah smiled as he took the watch out of the box and put it on Sienna’s wrist. “Mm, it suits you perfectly. Your wrists are slim, the strap is just the right length, and your skin really makes it pop
Although she received the compliment, Sienna frowned, not wanting to accept it. It’s too expensive.”

“Too expensive! It’s just a watch,” Josiah said nonchalantly. “It’s a pair with mine
Sienna realized that Josiah’s watch was similar to this one but larger; it

Josiah smiled and said, “I didn’t expect it to be made so soon, but since they had mine as a template, they just had to copy it exactly?

They got the only two identical custom–made Patek Philippe w
Suddenly. Sienna felt like the watch was too much to handle. “Maybe I should just put it away. It’s so valuable–if it gets scratched or lost, wouldn’t that be such a waste!”
“I’m not worried,” Josiah said, pressing her hand down to stop her from moving. “If it gets scratched or damaged, it can be fixed. As for losing it? That’s impossible.
“Every watch has its own serial number, just like DNA. As long as the number’s there, it can’t be lost. Just wear it.”
He lifted her hand and brought it to her ear, smiling as he looked at her. “Listen to that–wearing the same watch means we’re always together.” Sienna’s heart skipped a beat. ‘How sweet those words!
They finished getting ready and went downstairs to eat breakfast together. While eating breakfast, Josiah received a call from Miranda. “Yes, okay… I remember,” he said.
Then he hung up the phone and looked at Sienna’s plate. He took the this afternoon. Howard’s marriage needs to be discussed, he told her.
“I’m going with you, Sienna replied.

After finishing breakfast, Josiah drove, but they didn’t go straight to the Flynn residence. Instead, he explained that they needed to stop by the hospital first because Miranda’s medication was almost finished, and he needed to pick up some more.
So, they went to the hospital first. The car stopped in the parking lot, and Josiah asked, “Are you coming with me
“No.” Sienna replied firmly, shaking her head. Joyce was at that hospital, too. She couldn’t see them together. Sierma added, “I’ll wait for you in the
car”
“Alright,” Josiah said. Tll be quick”
After closing the car door, Josiah quickly headed to the pharmacy. Everything was ready there, so he just grabbed the medicine and was about to leave. Holding the bag, he walked through the busy, noisy lobby.

Joyce wasn’t alone; she was with Tara. She jumped off Tara and ran straight to Josiah. “Josiah!”
“Hey!” Josiah bent down and picked her up with one arm.
“Josiah,” Joyce said, her brow furrowed, looking a li
