Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 96

“ What are you doing ? ” Sienna asked , her back turned to him .

She had no idea what stage he was at .

“ Did you take it off yet ! ”

Josiah snapped back to reality , narrowing his eyes slightly to mask the cold glint in them .

Sienna meant well , after all .

Besides , her back was to him , so she shouldn’t see his scars .

He raised his arm and peeled off his damp shirt .

“ Yeah , I did .”

“ Here ” Still facing away

from him , Sienna tossed a man’s shirt over her shoulder .

“ Put this on for now

“ What’s this ? ” Josiah instinctively bristled .

Men were naturally sensitive about such things .

Without even unfolding it , he could tell it was a man’s

shirt .

‘ How does she have a men’s shirt he thought ,

She had deliberately bought an oversized one

Without waiting for a response , she picked up his wet shirt .

The washing machine was on the balcony .

Sienna tossed his shirt in and began gathering the clothes she had washed earlier in the morning

As soon as Josiah stepped onto the balcony , his face darkened completely .

“ Sienna ! ”

His sudden growl caught her off guard .

She turned to see his face filled with anger and confusion .

What’s his problem now ? she wondered , baffled .

“ Why doesn’t he wear the shirt ! Is he planning to stay shirtless like this forever ? she thought .

Standing tall , Josiah reached up with ease and yanked something off the drying rack .

Holding it out to her , he said , “ What is this ? ”

“ That ” Sienna froze for a moment , then became a little embarrassed .

“ You’re a man .

Don’t you recognize ii ? ”
