Chapter 394
“S” Conner’s greeting of “Sienna” caught in his throat, silenced by the sight of Josiah rushing forward so shield Sienna. His eyes glared at Comer. simmering with barely contained anget.
“What are you doing here?” Jouah asked.
Hule Corner responded and glanced at Sierma, a sudden smirk twisting his lips. “Is it any of your business?” he asked.
“Stay away from her.” Josiah growded, his fury growing as he watched Conner’s smirk. Because of you, Sienna ended up in the hospital with a heal injury! Haven’t you hurt her enough!” Josiah contined.
Heating that, Conner’s brow furrowed. “That’s between Sienna and me Im
in here to see her,” he said.
Reyna þad called him earlier, creating a scene over the phone. Only then did Conner learn what had happened, and he rushed to Stenna’s side immediately, ignoring Reyna’s tantrum.
Josiah kept Sienna firmly behind ham and said, “There’s nothing to see. With me bere, don’t even think about getting close to her?
Conner was momemarly stunned before raising an eyebrow mockingly. He said, “Oh, Mr. Flynnu what right do you have to stop met You’re just a pathetic ex–husband. You have no claim to her now”
His words struck a nerve with Josials, Josiah’s body tensed, his hands clenching into fiets.
Semna sensed trouble and hurriedly grabbed his arm, saying. Jouh, don’t do anything rash”
Josiah was surprised, a trace of disbelief flashing in his eyes. He asked. “What do you think I’m going to do?
“Don’t hit him.” The words tumbled out before Sienna had time to think. She had witnessed Josiah violent side firsthand.
“Did I hit him” Josiah asked. Feeling a pang in his heart, he smiled humorlessly and continued, “Even if I did, would you still protect him!”
enna lifted her chin and answered firmly, “Yes”
Josiah was incredulous. He said, “Sienna, he was the one…”
“That’s between him and me. I can handle in myself, Senna interrupted. She was getting desperate; she was terrified that Josiah would lose control She frantically signaled to Conner and said, “Conner, you go in first”
“Sure, I’ll wait for you upstairs,” Conner replied. He gave Josiah a provocative smirk and stepped into the building-
Throughout it all, Sienna tightly gripped Josiah’s arm, watching him warily.
Josiah chuckled dryly, his voice hoarse and filled with self–mockery. He looked at Sienna, shook his head, and said. “Let go. I won’t hit him?
She was protecting Conner so fiercely–what difference would it make if he did anything
Sienna, still doubtful, glanced back to confirm that Conner had entered the elevator before she slowly let go. “I–I’m going in too. You should leave,” she said. Turning away, she took two quick steps toward the elevator.
Josiah barked behind her, “Sienna, you don’t love me, and I can’t force you. But at the very least, can you please stop making me worry so much! Let me see you well. Choose a good man, okay? I beg you, Sienna, pleasef”
Sienna’s back stiffened. Her eyelashes trembled as the unconsciously clenched her fists. Her lips parted slightly. “Leave me alone. I don’t need. I beg you, just like those years in Fliraty, pretend I don’t exist,” she said.
With that, she picked up her pace and ran inside without looking back.

“Sienna,” Josiali roared in frustration, his fury burning inside him like molten lava. He felt like he was about to explode. He slammed the car. The force of it cracked his knuckles, drawing blood. But it wasn’t enough, far from enough.
He looked up at the building. He wondered, They went up together. Sienna actually let Conner go up with her? Has their relationship progressed sa quickly!
How long would Conner stay up there! Don’t tell me he’s staying the night. Sienna’s condominium is so small. Where would he sleep! Could it be with Sienna? Not

Besides, he wasn’t in a good mood right now. He was afraid that he would really do something Sienna and Joyce were both up there. What if he

Chapter 391
Josiah opened his car door, took out a cigarette and lighter from the glove compartment, and started smoking. One after another.
One hour. If Conner didn’t come down in one hour, I would go up there myself, he said to himself.
However, he didn’t need to wait an hour. Conner came down.
Conner had come to see if Sienna was badly hurt. Reyna was still making a scene at home, so he had to go back and take care of it. He didn’t expect Josiah to still be there when he came out.
Conner sneered mockingly. “Oh” Still here? Putting on a lovesick show, are wel
“Conner!” Josiah snarled on the verge of exploding gripping Conner’s arm so tightly his eyes bulged. He warned, “Get away from her this instant. Someone like you–who plays around–doesn’t deserve her!”
Showing no fear, Conner retorted. I don’t deserve her! Then who does! You?”

Before Josiah could react, Conner continued as if struck by a thought, “Oh, do you mean someone who has his sister–in–law in person worthy of her!”
“What did you say?” Josiah asked. He was taken aback, his gaze hardening.
“You know exactly what I mean Conner sneered. He wrenched himself free, grabbing Josiah by the collar, his voice a hiss, “Stop Jovesick fool. Josiah
You’ve known her for ten years. If you truly love her, then tell me, who is her father? Does she have any family left in Jelacrity”
Josiah was bewildered by these questions. He responded, “Isn’t she an orphan

Conner scoffed, shoving Josiah away. He said, “You don’t deserve to love her. Get lost. From now on, I’ll be the one to protect her.”
With that he got into his car and sped off.
Josiah stood frozen, replaying Conner’s questions. He thought, Is Sienna not an orphan Hasn’t Grandma said that her parents died when she was little and that Fiona had passed away when she was 15? That’s why the Flynn family took her in
But Conner didn’t sound like he was talking nonsense. On the contrary, he seemed to know something.
Rubbing his forehead, Josiah picked up his phone and called Howard.
“Josiah, Howard answered the call.
Josiah got straight to the point. He asked, “Howard, can you ask Grandma if Sienna really has no other relatives?”
“What do y you mean?” Howard asked. He was surprised. Like Josiah, he also thought Sienna was an orphan.
Josiah said in a low voice, “Howard, I suspect Stenna isn’t an orphan, She might have relatives in Jeiacrity”
“Okay, I’ll find a way to askGrandma,” Howard replied. He had always taken Josiah’s words seriously. Josiah wasn’t one to speak without thinking Since he said so, there must be a reason.
“Howard, I’ll wait for your news,” Josiah said.
Howard replied, “Alright”
After hanging up, Josiah looked up at the building. He wondered why Conner knew something he didn’t ‘Did Sienna tell him, or did they have a deeper, more intimate relationship” he thought.
