Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 135

Sienna swiped her phone open to read Cedric’s message first: [Sienna, I’ll sort things out at home. It’s okay if you don’t want to talk to me right now. I’ll show you that I’m not giving up on you.]

‘Why would he go to such lengths for me?‘ Sienna closed her eyes for a moment. She was moved by Cedric’s determination, yet it also made her

sad.

But she knew she shouldn’t reply to this message. She figured that if she kept ignoring him, he would eventually give up. Ending it now would hurt

him the least.

Sienna replied quickly: [No need, really, and I’m not on 12th Avenue now.]

Josiah pondered, wondering if asking more would make Sienna find him annoying. After a while, he decided to let it go. Even if he knew the address, he could do nothing about it.
