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.

Then Sienna opened Josiah’s chat: [Sienna, I saw Cedric. Are you alright?]

She frowned. ‘How could he have seen Cedric? Wasn’t he gone? Did he go back? Why did he go back?‘

There was more to his message: [You left your headband in my car. I’m returning it to you.]

‘So that’s what happened. Sienna touched her wrist and noticed the headband was gone. She raised her fingers to reply: [No need. It’s just a headband. You can just throw it away.]

At that moment, Josiah sat in his car parked at the entrance of Lyceum Street. He held a plum–colored headband with some white plastic beads intertwined in it. After reading Sienna’s reply, he looked at the headband and muttered, “She doesn’t want it anymore?”

He picked up his phone and typed back: [I’m at the corner. I’ll bring it to you, and it’s no trouble.]

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

‘Not on 12th Avenues

Josiah suddenly tensed, quickly realizing that Sienna might have seen Cedric and was avoiding him. Josiah’s lips curled into a slight smile, and a trace of unbidden excitement passed through his heart. [Then where are you?]

[At a friend’s place.] Sienna typed back, not providing a specific address.

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.
