Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 19 No , I am not Sienna said , trying to sound offended .

Stop the nonsense , Josiah interrupted , clearly fed up .

Today is the day .

Not later , not tomorrow right now ! Do you think I have all the time in the world like you ? With that , he hung up .

Sienna let out a helpless chuckle , her grip on her phone tightening how could she explain that her way of treating him like something precious was long gone ? Okay , let it be today , then .

But it might be tough , she thought , rubbing her stomach where the pain seemed sharper than usual Fiona was laid to rest at Bacchus Bridge in the west of the city .

The weather wasnt great , and the sun was hidden by thick clouds drifting lazily across the sky .

The cemetery was on a hill .

Sienna , grappling with her stomach cramps , made her way up slowly , clutching the bouquet shed picked up .

By the time she arrived , she was worn out , her brow and temples beaded with cold sweat .

She casually wiped away the sweat , then gently set the flowers down on Fionas gravestone .

She looked at the photo of Fiona etched into the stone and offered a small smile .

Grandma , Im here to see you .

Sienna said , her eyes welling up Im sorry its been four years since I last visited .

I wasnt in agood place , and the trip back home was just too pricey .

After meeting Hannah , life had improved a lot for Sienna , but it was still a struggle , and going back to Jeiacrity felt impossible .

Without the Flynn familys financial help , she wouldnt have been able to come home now .

Sienna sniffed , Im back for good this time .

No one can make the leave .

Im from Jeiacrity , and I belong here now .

Ill come to see you often , Through her tears , she smiled and pulled out her wallet from her bag .

Oh , you havent met Joyce yet .

Ive got it ready .

She pulled out a photo and said , Look , this is your granddaughter .

Isnt she adorable ? Bending down , she placed the photo next to the flowers , then took out a cloth and began gently wiping the tombstone clean .
