Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 176 Silence returned .

Josiah looked at Sienna in his arms .

Her eyes were tightly shut , and the comers were red , still glistening with tears .

He couldnt help but wonder if she was crying out of instinct or for another guy , and the latter made his expression turn icy .

Lets get out of the car .

He released her and got out first .

Then he walked around to the passenger side and leaned over to lift her out For a moment , Sienna shivered in his arms .

He noticed and frowned , Whats wrong Sienna shook her head , not saying a word .

But Josiah pretty much guessed it .

He had just lost control and been too rough it might have hurt her .

He quickened his pace, carrying her from the garage back to the main bedroom , and laid her on the bed .

He reached out to tidy her messy long hair , but she turned her face aside to avoid him .

He paused , pulling back his hand awkwardly .

After a moment , he said .

You rest for a bit .

Ill go run the bath .

He got up and headed to the bathroom As the sound of water began .

Sienna opened her eyes , red and tear filled .

Fearing Josiah might come out at any moment , she threw off the covers .

got out of bed , and rushed to the door , pulling it open to leave .

Josiah filled the tub , went to the closet to get pajamas , and put them in the bathroom .

Then he came back , planning to pick Sienna up Sienna , wash … He had just sat down and was about to lift the covers when suddenly he jerked upright , a cold sweat breaking out over him .

He raised his arm and threw back the blanket the bed was empty , and Sienna was nowhere to be seen .
