Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

COMMENT Chapter 9 Where did she go ? Josiah frowned , clearly agitated .

Miranda just finished her therapy session , and dinner was about to start .

He had only turned away for a second to take care of something , and suddenly , Sienna was gone .

Dont worry .

Yvette said with a gentle smile to ease his concern Its her first time here , so shes probably just a little lost .

Josiah scoffed , his voice dripping with irritation .

Doesnt she know to wait for me ? What a trouble maker Okay , take it easy .

Ill help you find her , Yvette said , suddenly stopping and pointing .

Hey , Josiah , is that her over there ? Josiah looked over and nodded , Yeah Surprised , he added , She looks different from before .

You really have a keen eye to spot her so quickly Of course , Yvette chuckled .

Women have a knack for picking up on details .

Now , lets go .

We cant keep Miranda waiting .

They walked over to Sienna , who had her cheeks puffed out with brownie , crumbs sprinkled around her lips .

Spotting them coming , she hastily put her plate aside .

Josiah frowned in disapproval .

Whats with your table manners Our guests tonight are pretty important .

Can you please pay more attention to your image ? Is he afraid Ill embarrass the Flynn family ? Sienna swallowed hard , wiped her mouth with a napkin , and nodded calmly without protest .

Got it Josiah felt like he was punching a pillow .

Whats with her attitude ? In the past , she would have fought back by now , but now shes just so quiet It wasnt that he wanted her to argue , but seeing her look so wronged made him feel like he was the bully , which was uncomfortable .

He frowned and asked , Sienna , whats your act Did I do anything wrong ? Sienna blinked , looking puzzled shed followed everything hed said .

You … Josiah was at a loss for words , feeling a sudden wave of frustration rising in him .

Alright now .

Yvette stepped in , trying to ease the tension .

Lets stop here .

Miranda is waiting for us .

Got it , Josiah said , trying to suppress his annoyance .
