Chapter 261
When Sienna got back to the apartment, Joyce was still asleep. Thra was busy in the kitchen, so she, carrying a bag of medicine, went into the bathroom to do the test.
She’d bought three different brands, so she used all of them. Fifteen minutes later, the results from all three were the same–positive
Sienna bit her lips, her heart rate picking up slightly. After the last time’s mix–up, she wasn’t about to get her hopes up too soon. Gently placing her hands on her belly, she silently prayed. “Please, let me be pregnant
She opened the bathroom door, hearing Joyce’s voice. “Mom? Where are you?”
Sienna smiled and stepped out Joyce. Mommy’s here.”

bent down, scooping her up
“Sure!” Joyce giggled. “Make it into liule bunst”
“No problem” Sienna carried Joyce back to the bedroom, sitting her down on a chair, and started brushing her hair. She divided it into two sections, preparing to make little buns on each side, like a cute little elf.
“Mom,” Joyce suddenly asked, hugging Minnie Mouse close to her. “Are you and Dad not together anymore! Are you both going to be apart from
Hearing this, Sienna froze for a moment, both surprised and confused. “Why would you ask something like that?” She thought, ‘She’s so young. Does she even understand what that means!
“Because Dad has never come to our house” Joyce tilted her head, frowning. “Seth said that when this happens, it means Mom and Dad are separated”
Seth was Joyce’s playmate who lived in the neighborhood, a caring finle boy. It was he who had explained the concept of ‘Dad‘ to Joyce.
Sienna felt that Joyce was growing up so fast, and it was becoming harder to dodge these tough questions. Joyce,” she said, tying up the little buns and then hugged her close, Dad and Mom are not living together anymore for some reason.”
“Maybe later?” Joyce looked up at her, blinking
“Where did she get all this cleverness from Sienna thought. The question caught her off guard, and she almost choked on her words.
“Later…” Sienna carefully chose her words. “I don’t know yet. I can’t make that decision alone.”
“Why not?” Joyce’s eyes went wide. “Is it because Dad doesn’t want to?”
Sienna broke out in a cold sweat, completely caught off guard.
Don’t be sad, Mom“.
n.” Joyce immediately said, her little face full of concern, “You have me, and I’ll always be with you?”
“That’s so sweet” Sienna’s heart melted, and she let out a relieved sigh. She grabbed the Minnie Mouse hairpins from the table and clipped them into Joyce’s hair, one on each side. “You’re so pretty, Joyce,”
Just then, Tara called out, “Sienna, Joyce! Time to eat!”
“Let’s go.” Sienna scooped Joyer up. I’m hungry. How about you, Joyce!
“I am Joyce chirped.
After breakfast, Sienna and Tara took Joyce to the city center, heading straight for a children’s clothing store. They were catching the special deals for the double holiday, so they ended up buying quite a lot.
Tara clicked her tongue in admiration. The quality of kids clothes nowadays is great, and the prices are so cheap. Kids these days really have it good, huh?”
They didn’t head back burne for lunch but instead found a restaurant in TeeMall. They each got a set meal, and Joyce had the kids‘ set.
While they were waiting for the food, Sienna stood up to go to the bathroom and asked Joyer, “Do you want to come with me!”

Joyce said, “Nope.”
Sienna said, “Then be a good girl and stay with Tara, okay?”
“Got it!” Joyce nodded eagerly.
Meanwhile, Josiah was with a business partner, getting ready to head upstairs to a restaurant. As they walked. window. The little girl was in a child’s chair, swinging her short legs back and forth.
Josiah couldn’t help but smile. “Excuse me, Mr. Bennett. I just saw an old friend. I’ll go say hello”
Adrian said, “Of course, Mr. Flynn.””
Josiah nodded slightly and stepped into the restaurant.
“Hi, Mr. Flynn.” Tara was the first to see him and stood up
up to greet him.

“Hi” Josiah smiled, then turned to Joyce. “Hey, Joyce. It’s so good to see you again!”
“Mr. Flynn!” Joyce, who got stuck in the child’s chair, waved her arms in excitement, Josiah laughed and lifted her up.
He looked her over carefully–she seemed to be in good spirits. “Joyce, have you been okay lately!” Although the question was directed at Joyce, it was really for Tara.
“I’ve been fine!” said Joyce.
Tara answered, “Since Joyce was discharged from the hospital, she has been taking her medicine on time, and she’s been getting her shots every few days. Everything’s been going well. We owe it all to you.”
Josiah gently squeezed Joyce’s little hand. “I’m glad to hear she’s doing well”
“Mr. Flynn.” Joyce squirmed into his arms and laid her little head on his shoulder, whispering, “Do you have a girlfriend?”
“What?”
Josiah froze and raised an eyebrow, not ready for this.
Joyce pouted and continued, “Can I introduce one to you, Mr. Flynn! Would that be okay?”
“Joyce. Josiah was taken aback.
“Mr. Flynn!” It seemed like Joyce was worried he’d refuse, and she hurriedly added, “It’s my mom! She’s super pretty just like me. Actually, she’s even more beautiful than me! Mom just went to the bathroom, so just wait for her. She’ll be back soon!”
“Joyce!” Tara, overhearing, was blushing with embarrassment. “Don’t say things like that”
“I’m not saying anything wrong” Joyce puffed up her little chest, full of confidence. “Don’t you believe me, Mr. Flynn?”
Josiah couldn’t help but chuckle. “Of course, I believe you, Joyce, but He smiled even more when he thought of Sienna. I already have a girlfriend

“Well Joyce’s big eyes filled with disappointment. “I see.”
“Joyce, I have to go now. I’ve got something to take care of.” Josiah gently placed Joyce back in her chair, bent down, and patted her little bun. “See
you.”
“See you, Mr. Flynn” said Joyce.
Not long after, Sienna returned. She saw Joyce with her head down, so she looked at Tara with confusion. “What happened?”
Tara tried to hold back her laughter. “We ran into Mr. Flynn. Joyce decided she wanted to play matchmaker and introduced you to him, but Mr. Flynn already has a girlfriend.”
Sienna thought, “Was Josiah here? Joyce was pouting, clearly upset. Sienna’s heart both ached and softened. She reached out to gently pat Joyce’s head. “Do you know what that means, Joyce!”
“I do.” Joyce lifted her little chin proudly. “I want Mr. Flynn to be my Dad
Sienna froze, her back stiffening. She didn’t expect Joyce to like Josiah to this extent. She then heard Joyce sigh sadly. “Mr. Flynn already has a girlfriend, so he can’t be my dad anymore”

The food arrived, and Tara quickly tried to change the subject. “Alright, no more talking. Let’s eat!”
Sienna tied a bib around Joyce’s neck, looking at her soft little face. Her thoughts drifted to her belly. Maybe she and Josiah had already had two
children.
On Monday, Sienna went to the television station to meet with the production team. They discussed the details of the show format, her responsibilities, and her salary.
The crew member said, “Ms. Shaw, you’ll be in charge of Group A. The list is on the last page.”
“Got it.” Sienna nodded and flipped to the last page. The first name on the list was written clearly–Yvette Young
