Andy stretched out his arms in agitation. “You could easily take it all without even

Josiah frowned, reminding him. “By then, you’d be kicked out and left with nothing“”
“I don’t care!” Andy’s eyes sparkled with intensity. As long as the Evans family has a future, I couldn’t care les
“You’re crazy?” Josiah bit his lip, doubting scheiber there’s something off in this guy’s hear
“Eilgar?” Andy was getting anxious. “I know, with your skills, you’ll never have to worry about food. Vini’re still young, and with time, you’ll surely build your own business empire.
He continued, “But why waste so much time? You have such a powerful backing, you could save yean of unzele and achieve your bigger ambitions, tight”
“Enough!” Josiah frowned, cutting him of

Josiah admitted it everything Andy said was true. But he couldn’t just brush it off. “You need to let it

There was no way he could forgive a father who treated him worse than an animal. For those long years, in Andy’s eyes, he hadn’t been more than a dog
“Edgar” Andy called after him, but this time, he couldn’t st Josiah
Jouth hurried out bursting through the screen and out of the private room. Zach followed silently, even with the screen between them, he had listened to every word
Whatever decision Josiah made, he would always support him, but it was clear that something was off today
“Get the car for me,” Josiah ordered, waving at Zach. “I’ll go to the restroom.
“Ok” Zach replied, stepping out first
After a turn, Josiah entered the restroom. He turned on the tap and splashed cold water on his face.
That crazy gay, Andy, was really getting to Josiah Leaning over the sink, Josiah closed his eyes, taking deep breaths to calm down. Slowly, he started to regain his composure
When he opened his eyes and turned to leave, he nearly collided with someone stepping out of the adjacent restrooms. It was Sienna. They locked. eyes, and she seemed just as surprised
In just half an hour, they had run into each other twice. Under his gaže, Sienna acted casual, walking over to wash her hands, grabbing a paper towel and tossing it into the trashcan.
He stood there still watching her. Sienna pretended not to notice him.
“Sienna” he said, stepping directly into her path
Sanna looked up sharply, and he caught her gaze, his lips twisting into a latter smile. “Are you that eager We just broke up, and you’re already

Without looking back, she walked away.
“Will it really get better with time Josiah murmured, watching her back. “But you didn’t tell me how long it’ll take
Josiah thought, “A month! A year? Or maybe four years! Does it take her four years to forget me?
After stepping out of Coryroom, Joyce’s little tummy was round with satisfaction. “Did you eat enough, Joy?” Conner asked, holding her close
Tm stuffed she replied cheerfully.
Sienna couldn’t help but laugh. “Are you really worried about her! She ate way more than I did!
“Meat is good?” Conner said, showering his niece with unconditional love. “Eating well keeps you healthy!
This way, during the surgery, it’ll be a bit less painful.
“Here” Conner said, concerned about her digestion. Once they were in the car, he pulled out a pack of hawthorn candy. “Joy, eat a couple of these.
To avoid indigestion and end up being bad for her health
Conner is the best!” Joy beamed, cupping the snacks in her hands. I love you the mout
Sienna chuckled, shaking her bead. He really spoiled the kid, but he was also quite thoughtful.
When they arrived at the Sunshine Neighborhood, there was a shiny new BMW Mini parked downstairs. Tara raised an eyebrow in curiosity Whose new car is this?”
“Sienna” Conner said, giving Sienna a playful budge. I bought it. What do you think
“You bought a new car?” Sienna noticed the brand–new vehicle still didn’t have plates.
“Yep!” He nodded excitedly. Just picked it up today. What do you think?”

Usually, cars like that are better suited for women. And besides, she couldn’t help but wonder why it was parked right outside her building
* thought so too Conner lifted his arm and tossed something toward her. “Here, Sienna”
“What is it?” Sienna instinctively raised her hands to catch it, then looked at the car key in her palin
She pointed at the car. “Is this for that car
“Yep,” he nodded, a grin on his face. “I got it for you.”
This.” Sienna was completely taken aback, momentarily speechless.
“Don’t say you don’t want it Conner pleaded, his eyes darkening. “Why wouldn’t you? Mine is yours! Why are you being modest? It’s not a burden
Sienna couldn’t help but laugh at his logic. While he was right, it felt a bit odd for him to be the one saying it.
Thinking of the other three members of the Fischer family. Sienna couldn’t help but marvel; Conner was really a gem, rising above the dirt without getting tarnished.
With the key warm in her palm, she relented. “Alright, I’ll accept
“This is the way it should be Conner smiled warmly, “Sienna, from now on, I’ll take care of you and make sure you don’t have to suffer anymore.”
Sienna’s eyes felt a bit misty as she nodiled, “Yeah, I’ll hold you to that.”
Many years later, when Sienna looked back on that moment, she still felt moved by Conner’s sincere promise
Instead of heading straight back to the Salver Beach, Josiah decided to meet up with Thomas and Yosef for drinks. As he kept downing shot after shot, Thomas and Yosef exchanged worned glances.

All they could do was hang tight and support their friend through the rough patch.
When it was time to head out. Yosef took responsibility for getting Josiah back to the beach house, Unexpectedly, the living room was lit up. Yosef guessed it was probably the cleaning lady they hired
After ringing the doorbell, he hoisted Josiah inside the entrance.
“You’re really heavy!” he grunted.
“Is that you back! Yvette called out, pushing a wheelchair in their direction.
