Chapter 254
Josiah said in a raspy voice. ‘Sienna, stop playing around. Sienna ignored him, burying her face in his neck, and kept kissing him.
“Sienna he half–growled, his voice deep and rough, filled with a strange intensity. Josiah sped up, nearly running into their bedroom, and tossed
Sienna onto the bed..
Sienna wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips to his. “Sienna. Finally, Josiah managed to pull away, holding onto a shred of sanity while trying to control the fire flickering in his eyes.
“Remember, the doctor said you
u need to
to take it easy these next few days,” Josiah said.
Sienna thought. “Rest Are you kidding me? I’m waiting for these days: “I don’t need to rest. I feel perfectly fine, Sienna said with a slight frown, her lips adorably pouted
Josiah swallowed hard and reached up to gently brush aside her slightly tousled hair. “Are you feeling okay?”
“Yeah. Sienna nodded, grabbing his collar and giving it a
firm tug-
Josiah’s scalp tingled, like an inner beast awakened. His breath enveloped her immediately. If you start feeling bad, tell me right away.”
Josiah, you’re so annoying! Are you crazy?” Sienna asked.
Josiah thought, Am I being doubted? That heartless woman. She didn’t know I cared about her. Well, in that case, I won’t hold back any longer. After it was over, Josiah got up to get some water to give to Sienna. “Take it slow. Sienna nodded while nestled in his arms.
Josiah wrapped his arms around her waist, not wanting to let go. He could feel that tonight Sienna was unusually eager, almost desperate. He thought, ‘Maybe she’s scared?
‘It’s because of Gedric. I didn’t answer her calls. She’s scared that I might break up with her. That’s probably why she clung to me so tightly tonight” Josiah felt both satisfied and sorry for her. He softly stroked her long hair, gently saying her name, “Sienna”
“Hmm?” Stenna replied.
Josiah whispered as he lowered his head to give her a gentle kiss. Don’t be afraid. I’m never letting you go. Sienna was startled, suddenly looking up at him
Taking advantage of the moment, Josiah pressed his check against hers, closely and intimately. “I still care about you. I can’t bear to let you go. Remembering how she had run for Cedric made his chest tighten again,
“You need to stop thinking about Cedric. You’ve broken up and are not involved anymore. I really can’t handle it. Whenever you see him, it’s like I don’t even exist. If it happens again, I can’t promise what I might do!”
Josiah couldn’t let her go, but he was okay with anyone else. He unconsciously tightened his grip on her arm. “Sienna, promise me you’ll forget him Even if you meet him again, act like he’s a stranger,”
Sienna was slightly stunned. She thought, Is he getting jealous? Or is it just Mr. Flynn’s possessiveness taking over?
When there was no response, Josiah frowned slightly, “Sienna? Why aren’t you saying anything? Didn’t you hear me? Or do you not want to?”
Sienna snapped back to reality, smiling softly. “I heard you. It’s not that I don’t want to. I promise,”
Mr. Flynn was pleased, gave her a gentle kiss on the corner of her mouth, and then lightly bit down. You promised me! No lying!” He jumped off the bed and bent down to pick her up. “Let’s go take a bath.”
Sienna waved her hand. Co run the water first. Come back and carry me later.
“Okay,” Josiah replied.
Sienna adjusted the pillow under her waist and clasped her hands in silent prayer, “God, I’m begging you, let it succeed this month. Dr. Nelson said the more anxious I am about getting pregnant, the harder it is, but how could I not worry?”
The next day at noon during lunch break, Sienna returned as usual special bowl and forks.

Tara praised, “Joyce, you’re great, you never
ever spill your food.” Then she told Sienna, “It’s because you taught her well.”
Sienna shook her head with a smile. “Not really. Maybe it’s just natural.” She honestly hadn’t been strict about this.
Joyce started eating by herself when she was one and a half. By two, she was eating very well, rarely spilling anything. Her table manners were
unusually refined.
Joyce raised her spoon and asked, “Mom, I want some strawberries?
Sienna nodded with a smile, “Okay. He good and eat your food, and I will wash some strawberries for you.”
In the cold winter, it was the perfect time for strawberries. Bright red and large, three strawberries were enough for Joyce. Sienna washed them, cut them, and placed them on a plate.
The phone rang. “Hello?” On the other end was Josiah, “Sienna. I might be home late tonight. If it’s too late, go to bed without me
Sienna thought, I have to sleep alone! That means he’d be home very late! She frowned, “Why? Can’t you reschedule?”
These days were crucial. If they missed this chance, they would have to wait another month. Josiah was delighted, a smile spreading across his face. “You don’t want me to go to the meeting? Want to spend time with me instead!”
Sienna replied without hesitation, “Yeah, can you not go?
Josiah thought for a moment. “How about this? After work, I’ll have Zaid pick you up and bring you over. With you there, it’ll be easier for me to decline. How does that sound?”
Holding a bowl of strawberries, Sienna walked outside. “Alright, I’ll wait for you.”
“Alright.” After hanging up. Josiah tossed his phone into the air and caught it effortlessly. He was thrilled that Sienna was so attached to him.
Yosef walked in just in time to see Josiah’s joyful expression. “Wipe that dreamy look off your face! Don’t you remember I’m single? Are you trying to rub it in?”
Josiah burst into a lively laugh. “Sorry about that.”
In the evening. Zaid went to the dance troupe and picked up Sienna on time. Josiah, Yosef, and the others were in a discussion in the meeting room. Zaid went in and whispered to Josiah, “Ms. Shaw is here, waiting in the lounge”
“Got it, thanks, Zaid.” Josiah picked up his phone and texted Sienna: [There’s food in the fridge, a tablet on the table, and you can watch TV. Just chill out for a bit. I’ll join you once I’ve finished the work.]
Sienna quickly replied: (Okay.] Just that one word, followed by a blushing smiley emoji. Josiah imagined this about Sienna and couldn’t help but smile, his eyes crinkling with amusement.
After finally concluding the meeting, Yosef suggested, “Let’s head to Mousea House tonight, my treat”
“Thanks, Mr. Compton
“Thanks, Mr. Compton
But Josiah said, “You guys go ahead. I’m not coming”
Yosef looked at him sideways. “What’s going on! I thought you agreed”
At that moment, Josiah’s thoughts were already in the lounge. “Sorry, my girlfriend showed up. She’s clingy and insists I stay with her, or she’ll start causing a scene! What can I do?”
