Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 134

Is Sienna taking her anger out on me? Am I the reason they can’t be together? Josiah felt his temper flare. “What does any of this have to do with

me?”

But as soon as he met Sienna’s piercing gaze, he fell silent. Yeah, it was my fault. The biggest stain on her was something I had given her.

“Hmph. It’s your” Sienna scoffed, glaring at him coldly. Then she remembered her four years in Fliraty and Joyce. Overwhelmed by emotion, she grabbed his tie. “Why are you so bad? We’re already divorced, yet you won’t leave me alone?

Because of their history, she felt she might never find love again. At first, that didn’t bother her much. Love wasn’t everything, and she could manage on her own while taking care of Joyce.

But then Cedric showed up. He didn’t care about her past or judge her for being an orphan. He went out of his way to help her reconnect with the dance troupe. For the first time, she felt valued like this—yet she dragged him down.

Sienna shot a glare at Josiah, tears beginning to form in her eyes, swirling like a storm.

Josiah froze, realizing she was actually crying this time. His anger, however strong, was doused by her tears. He stood still, not daring to move, and even bent slightly to match her height, making it easier for her to grab his tie.

“It’s my fault.” He rummaged in his pocket for a men’s cotton handkerchief and handed it to her. “Don’t cry. Now that you like Cedric so much, don’t worry. With me and the Flynn family here, he wouldn’t dare to abandon you.”

“What do you want?” Sienna asked, her tear–filled eyes wide open. Just don’t overreact. It’s none of your business.”

“What did I do this time? Josiah’s anger flared up again, but under Sienna’s intense gaze, he backed down. He frowned and surrendered with a sigh. “Fine, I won’t get involved, okay?”

‘She thinks I really want to get involved? How ungrateful! If I meddle again, I’ll be a fool, Josiah vowed in his heart and looked around. “It’s hard to catch a ride here. Get in, and I’ll drive you home. From now on, your issues are your own.”

With that, Josiah turned around. Behind him, Sienna adjusted her hair and suddenly covered her eyes. As she wasn’t following, he turned back and urged, “Hurry up. What’s taking so long?”

Seeing her covering her eyes, he wondered, What’s going on. Do I help or not? Before thinking it though, he stepped back quickly, leaned down, and asked, “What’s wrong with your eyes?”

“I don’t know. Sienna covered her eyes, shaking her head. “Maybe an eyelash got in, or maybe it’s some sand.”

She instinctively pulled back, but he held her still. “Don’t move. Do you think I’m going to eat
