Chapter 370
Joyce blinked, looking a little confused. She was still so young and didn’t fully understand what Josiah was saying “Together? Like Tara and us
Josiah paused, a bit taken aback. Then he shook his head. “No, I mean, just like your mom and you?
“But..” Joyce lowered her head, still puzzled. “I already have a mom. I can’t have another one. And Mr. Flynn, you’re a man. How could you be my
Josiah froze for a second, chui kled, and gently pinched her tiny nose. “Silly girl. I’m not going to be your mom
He swallowed, feeling a little nervous. “Joyce, what I mean it. I want to be your dad. Would that be okay?
“Dad?” Joyce tilted her head, then scrunched up her little brow in thought.
Josiah’s heart skipped a beat. He thought, Does that mean she doesn’t want me?” “Joyce, do you not like me?” he asked quickly.
“I do” Joyce nodded earnestly, but the worried expression didn’t leave her face. “But this needs to be discussed with Mom, right?”
“Your mom…” Josiah was about to say that Sienna had already agreed and that she was just waiting for your answer.
Just then. Joyce said in a soft voice. “Mom is waiting for my real dad.
Feeling confused, Josiah asked, “What does that mean? Your real dad?“
“Yep! Joyce nodded, jumping into Josiah’s arms, and said in a low voice. “Dad went out to work. Mom said we have to wait for him to come back.”
This was something Joyce was told in the past when she was fussing about wanting her dad, and Sienna had casually mentioned it to calm her down. It turned out that Joyce had kept that in mind.
Worried that Josial might be sad, Joyce patted him on the chest. “Don’t be sad, Mr. Flynn.”
Josiah let out a low chuckle, holding Joyce i

“Don’t worry, Joyce, I’m not sad.”
He was serious. Hearing Joyce’s words, he just felt overjoyed.
The door swung open, and Sienna walked in, rolling up her sleeves. “How long does it take to get dressed?” When she saw that Joyce was already fully dressed, she noticed them huddled together, whispering to each other.
Sienna frowned and urged, “What are you doing? Get up and wash up. It’s time for breakfast”
“Yes, Mom!” Joyce quickly put her hands on her belly and darted toward the bathroom. “Mom, I have to go potty!”
“Go ahead” Sienna rattled Joyce’s hair, watching her run off. At her age, Joyce could already manage the bathroom on her own

Jonials leaned in slightly, his lips brushing against her car as he whispered, “You told Joyce that you’re waiting for her dad to come home, huh?” He knew star was talking about him.
Sienna froze for a moment and reu iered what she had said. “I was just…..

Josiah lifted his chin with a satisfied smirk. Either way, Joyce’s dad is me. You’ve been waiting for me.”
Sienna rolled her eyes, clearly unable to tolerate his smugness. “What are you proud of? I said that just so Joyce wouldn’t think her dad abandoned

Hearing that, Josiah’s expression darkened and he took her hand. “I know I was wrong, but I won’t let you down again, Sienna. Let’s get married. I talked to joyer about it and she said okay.
“We’ll find a time to see Grandma, and let her help us plan the wedding.”
Sienna stood frozen for a moment. She thought, Is it really happening? Is this the

finally coming!
At the Flynn residence, after lunch. Miranda was lounging in a recliner, drowsily rocking back and forth, already half–asleep.
The doorbell rang, and Linda went to answer it. “Who is it?”
A moment later, Linda returned, holding an envelope. “Mrs. Flynn, it’s an express delivery for you.”
Miranda blinked, shaking off the sleepiness. For me?”
She thought, “Why I haven’t been in charge of the household for years–who would be sending me an urgent delivery!”
She said. “Open it and let me see

Josiah said, “Grandma, I’m Josiah, really.”
“Yes, you look just like him” Miranda suddenly pulled her hand back. Then explain this to me–what’s going on here?”
