Yvene’s eyes welled up with tears, her voice shaky.
“How can someone’s heart change so quickly?”
“Yvette. “Josiah frowned, watching her with my brother didn’t have any feelings for Rosic”
cern. It was clear he was struggling to find the right words. Actually, before you left for Lacustria.
Josiah’s brother had always been restrained and rational when it comes to relationships. In his view, dealing with feelings is
is never about being emotional; it’s simply about what should be done and what shouldn’t.
Josiah continued, “Even now, I think he feels responsible and guilty toward Roxic. He sees taking care of her as his duty”
“Ha…” Yvette seemed stunned for a moment. “He said the same thing. So, I guess I pushed him away”
Yvette closed her eyes tightly, tears streaming down her face. Her forehead pressed against Josiah’s shoulder as she let out a heavy sigh.
Josalifrore, unsure of what to do or how to comfort her.
Just then, footsteps echoed in the hallway. Looking up, he saw Sienna approaching.
“Sienna… Before Josiah could finish, his phone buzzed from his pocket,
“Yvette.” he said, taking a couple of steps back to answer the call. “It’s Grandma”
He swiped the screen to pick up, “What happened? Grandma..”
It was Miranda urging them to come back.
“What’s taking so long? Your brother isn’t back yet, and where are you two?” she asked.
“Grandma, we’re on our way back… Yes, with Howard,” he assured her.
In his line of sigles, Sienna had reached the door Josiah quickly hung up and rushed after her
“Grandma, I’ll talk to you later,” he said.
“Sienna,” Josiah pocketed his phone and caught up to her. “You’re leaving, right? Let me drive you home.”
Sienna was definitely going back to be with Joyce since Joyce missed her so much.
“No, thanks.” Sienna shook her head, refusing his offer.
Her delicate features didn’t show any sign of displeasure. “I can go back by myself. It’s a holiday, and Grandma is waiting for you at home.”
“It’s okay. Howard isn’t ready yet.”
“Really, it’s not necessary”
Sienna looked at him with a hint of helplessness. “Aren’t you visiting Joyce early tomorrow? I’ll have breakfast ready for you in the morning, so sec you then?
As she spoke, Josiah’s tense expression softened a smile creeping onto his lips. “Okay”
But he insisted, Ill have someone drive you back. Call me when you get home.”
Sienna agreed.
The nursing home was out of the way. And it was a holiday, it wouldn’t be easy to get a ride. Josiah arranged for a car from the facility to take her home. He helped Sienna into the vehicle and waved goodbye.
“See you tomorrow morning”
“Yeah” Sienna said, her lips curling into a slight smile as she turned away, a shadow flitting across her
eyes.

There were things she needed to discuss with Josiah.
The next morning, just as seven o’clock struck, Josiah arrived. Sienna opened the door for him.
“Morning, Sienna he greeted, wearing a black cashmere
e beanie that hid his still–bald head.
He held a little box in his arms. This is a bummy flush toy for Joyen, l
I’m going to set it up with her soon,” he said and stepped inside.
He continued. “I don’t have to worry about work for a while, so I can spend more quality time with Joyce”
He plopped down on the couch like it was his throne and lowered his voice Joyce isn’t awake yet, right?”
“Not yet.” Sienna nodded, taking a seat across from him. “You came a bit too early; it’s just getting light out.”“”.
She looked him in the eye. “There’s something I need to tell you”
“What is it?” Josiah grinned, still blissfully oblivious to the impending ‘danger
“Say on
“I was wondering if you have time, could you swing by the hospital Sienna hesitated, biting her lip, her voice barely above a whisper. “Of course, not right now. Maybe once you’re feeling better,
Josiah furrowed his brow, confusion creeping in as the smile faded slightly. What do you need to go to the hospital for?”
Sienna lowered her gaze, taking a deep breath before finally saying, “It’s about Joyce
“Hmm” Josiah still didn’t get it. “Can you be a bit clearer?”
“Alright…” It was tough to bring up, but for Joyce’s sake, she had to say it.
Sienna’s brows knitted together in concern. “I’m not able to conceive right now, but once I recover, if there’s no other option. I think I need to give Joyce a sibling.
Realization hit Josiah like a wave. So that’s what Sienna meant.
You mean….
Josiah’s expression shifted, worry etching into his features. “You’re planning on going the artificial route…”
“Yeah” Sienna nodded, feeling a sense of relief as the words spilled out.
“Oh… A heaviness settled in Josiah’s heart, unsure if it was disappointment or something else.
But then he thought it again, it made sense, ‘Before, I had no idea that Sienna had to be with me for lo she wouldn’t want to be close to the anymore.

Why wouldn’t it be convenient?
Sienna paused, then shot back, “Didn’t you already know that Howard broke up with Yvette!”
“Yeah” Josiah nodded. “So, what’s the connection between these two things?”

Sienna scrutinized him, unsure if he really didn’t get it or if he thought she didn’t
“Come on, sprak up.” Josiah urged, his impatience creeping in.
“Your chance is here. Sienna continued, seamlessly riding his last words with a faint smile. “Before, Yvette was Howard’s fiancée. You couldn’t, and you wouldn’t have had the chance, but things are different now. You two can be together.”
Josiah was stunned, completely speechless. He thought. What is going on in her mind?
Sienna bent down, grabbed a cup from the coffee table, took a sip, and went on, “Howard won’t say anything about it. As for Grandma, she might oppose it at first, but she’ll agree in the end.”
When it came to public opinion, the Flynn family had the ability to manage the narrative.
Sure, they couldn’t silence everyone, but given enough time, new gossip would emerge.
“Ha, ha” Josiah let out a dry, tight laugh, his eyes pinning Sienna down like nails.

His jaw was set in a

hassle.
“For Joyce, I need to trouble you. I hope you can agree, considering Joyce’s sake. It’s something you owe her.”
Sienna pressed her lips together, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about this, especially Yvette. It absolutely won’t affect your relationship. Joyce and her siblings are my children alone, and they’ll never have anything to do with you.”
