Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 28

“Okay. Let me think…” Realizing what was at stake, Sienna didn’t hesitate. After a moment’s thought. Sienna grinned, “How about you treat me to some muttins from Seasonal Bakery!”

“What?” Josiah paused and raised an eyebrow, surprised. “Are you

sure!

Why not?‘ Sienna thought. She nodded confidently. “Yes, I’m sure?”

Seasonal Bakery was a local legend in Jelacrity, known for serving breakfast only and selling out fast every day. Once they were out of stock, customers had to wait until the next morning. That kind of scarcity didn’t come cheap.

Having lived abroad for four years, Sienna hadn’t had these muffins in ages. Even now that she was back, she couldn’t really afford them. Her request for a “thank–you gift” was genuine.

Josiah chuckled, amusement dancing in his eyes. “You better be certain–this is a one–time offer. Miss it, and it’s gone forever.” She could have asked him for mancy, property, or something extravagant.

“Yeah, I’ve thought it through,” Sienna confirmed, not wavering. She added, “I’ll take the blueberry muffins, please.”

“Alright then” Josiah agreed, shrigging. He’d offered her the chance, and since she was set on it, he felt no obligation. “Tomorrow morning, once Grandma is stable, I’ll take you there.””

“It’s a deal,” Sienna said, a smile breaking across her face.

The next morning, Miranda’s condition had stabilized. The doctor came for an early check–up and confirmed everything was fine.

“You two have been up all night. You can go rest now. During the day, she’ll have special care, and regular treatment will be enough, the doctor said

Josiah and Sienna hadn’t slept at all, so they gially accepted the offer. After making sure Miranda was settled, they left together. As promised. Josiah drove Sienna to Seasonal Bakery.

There was no driver, and Zach and the others lodni tagged along. So, when they arrived, Josiah got out of the car to buy the muffins himself

“I’ll come too,” Sienna said, stepping out with him while unconsciously biting her lip “The muffins are best when they’re fresh from the oven. She swallowed, her mouth already watering in anticipation.

Josiah noticed her eagerness and couldn’t help but chuckle. Don’t worry, you’ll get your fill. Let’s go, be said, leading the way.

They weren’t the first ones there, but they weren’t late either. There was still a line to wait in. “You wait here, I’ll stand in line. Josiah offered.

She watched eagerly as Josiah moved up in line. Counting down on her fingers, the
