Chapter 278
Sienna stood still, feeling Josiah’s palm against her lower abdomen.
“Am I bad to you! What more do you want from me to stay by my side! How could you hurt me like this? Do you want to break up with me so badly! How You’re carrying my child. Would Cedric still want you!
Without waiting for Sienna to answer, Josiah’s eyebrows twitched, and he chuckled softly. “Listen,” he said, each word deliberate and clear. “You can only stay by my side. You need to give birth to this child.
“My child has to
to come into this world safe and sound. And only I will be their father. After saying this, he released Sienna and headed upstairs.
Sienna froze, her mind blank. She couldn’t think straight. Finally, the shock faded, and the reality hit her.
She thought, Josiah doesn’t believe me. No, he actually believes met even said that the child wasn’t his, but he didn’t even doubt me
Sienna realized she had acted impulsively. Back then, all she could think about was using this as a way to leave him. It felt like the perfect opportunity.
But he didn’t believe it. She even felt that Yvette’s provocation was well–founded.
Given Josiah’s attitude yesterday and the fact that he didn’t come home all night, she thought he believed what she said. But it turned out he was angry because of her careless words..
He didn’t even question her. He simply accepted it Sienna wondered, Why? Where does this trust come from!
When it comes to Yvette and me, shouldn’t he have chosen Yvette without hesitation, like four years ago!
“How ironic. If he had trusted me back then, would we have ended up in this situation?”
Sienna went to the kitchen and warmed up a glass of milk. As she was drinking it, she heard footsteps. It was Josiah coming downstairs. She quickly set down her glass and rushed over. Josiah, wait!”
But it was too late. Josiah had already walked out the door and closed it behind him.
Sienna give a bitter smile, wondering. ‘Did he not hear me, or was he just choosing to ignore me? How long will he keep me trapped here? What can I do to escape with my unborn child and joyce?
She turned back, finished the milk, and went back upstairs..
Last night, she had been so worried that she hadn’t slept well. Now, stuck in this deadlock, Sienna lay down, trying to take things one step at a time. and drifted off to sleep.
She was still drowsy when a knock at the door woke her up. It was Romilly’s voice calling from outside. “Ms. Shaw, are you awake? It’s time for lunch”
“Um.” Sienna mumbled, 100 sleepy to open her eyes. “Romilly, I’m so tired. I don’t want to eat.” She rolled over and tried to fall back asleep
Romilly sighed and went back downstairs. After a moment of hesitation, she called Josiah, feeling a bit embarrassed. “Mr. Flynn, I called Ms. Shaw, but she must be too sleepy. She said she wouldn’t eat.”
“I see,” Josiah said before hanging up. The next second, he called Sienna.
While waiting to get through, he grumbled inwardly. Does she not understand her own condition? Always talking about dieting and staying fit, yet she’s so weak. She fainted twice just from being pregnant, and she still skips meals!
“Hello?” When he heard Sienna’s voice on the line, it was thick with sleep.
“Get up.” Josiah said concisely, almost ordering her. “Get up now and go downstairs to eat.
“I don’t want to eat, Sienna groaned. Tm su sleepy. I didn’t sleep well last night.”
Josiah sneered inwardly. She was scheming how to make me angry enough to let her go, which is probably why she couldn’t deep. Now that she knows the plan has failed, she’s started a hunger strike.’
“Are you going down by yourself, or do I need to come back and feed you?” Josiah asked, clearly annoyed

Sienna felt her sleepiness fade with his tone. Sitting up, she said, “Till eat by myself. I’m getting up now
“Don’t try to lie to me,” he said. “Romilly will tell me if you’ve eaten or not. With that, he hung up.
After being scolded over the phone, Sienna set her phone down, threw on a shawl, and headed downstairs.
Romilly was getting lunch on the table in the dining room. “Ms. Shaw,” she said, “you’re in a special situation now. If there’s anything you’d like to eat, just let me know,”
Romilly said with a smile, “Mr. Flynn told me that you were pregnant, Ms. Shaw, and asked if I could switch to live–in help. I’m perfectly fine with
With a good salary and just two people to care for in the house, this was a rare opportunity. Though the male owner was a bit hard to deal with, as long as Romilly took good care of his girlfriend, it would be a smooth job.
She continued, “Ms. Shaw, if you have a
e any requests, please don’t hesitate to tell me.”
So this was it. Josiah’s thoughtfulness hadn’t surprised her. He was still as considerate as ever.
Sienna smiled, “I understand. Thank you, Romilly”
*Then take your time eating” Romilly said. “I’m going to start working on the soup for tonight. This soup has to be simmered slowly over low heat
Romilly’s soup was truly delicious. Lately, Sienna hadn’t had much of an appetite, relying on Romilly’s soup for most of her nutrition.
As Sienna sipped her soup, James walked in. “Ms. Shaw” he said.
*Is something
the matter?”
*Sienna asked, confused.
James nodded. “Yeah, Mr. Flynn asked you to go to the TV station this afternoon, and he wants me to go with you.”
He was willing to let her go out but insisted that James follow her. Sienna couldn’t help but chuckle to herself. Is he worried about my well–being. or is he concerned about what I might do with Cedric
Did he trust me or not! This odd sense of trust… It feels like his kindness is always a bit off. It never brings me true happiness
all the artists were present,
At the TV station, it was Sienna’s group’s turn to rehearse today. With the show set to start recording next week, all th
Sienna changed into her practice clothes and entered the practice room. She scanned the area, her gaze landing on Yvette and Chelsea without any
reaction.
She stood in the front row and clapped her hands lightly. “Please, M. Lawrence, play the music. Everyone, let’s get started.
As the music filled the room, Sienna stretched out her arms. She didn’t dance but kept the beat and gave movement cues to the artists
“Sienna.” After the rehearsal, Yvette walked over with a smile on her face and a concerned tone. “Are you alright!”
Sienna raised an eyebrow. “What m
makes you think I’m not?”
Yvette thought to herself, Humph. After what happened, how could she be alright? She’s just putting up a strong front
She pointed to Chelsea not far away and sneered, “As far as I know, Josiah was with Chelsea last night. What do you think they were doing for hours?”
Sienna fell silent, realizing Yvette was trying to stir up trouble again. She smiled and asked, “You’re asking the wrong person. If you want to maybe you should just ask Chelsea”
Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she added, “Are you jealous of Chelse
Yvette, failing to sow discord, was instead put on the spot. She became enraged. “What nonsense are you talking about!”
Suddenly, the door to the practice room burst open, and James hurried in. He rushed over to Sienna, his face filled with worry. “Ms. Shaw, we have a problem. Mr. Flynn had an accident”
