Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 212 Josiah waited for Howard to continue speaking .

But Howard paused , shaking his head .

Never mind Howard Josiah said , curiosity mixed with mild frustration, Dont do this .

Whats going on ? Why are you keeping things from me ? Howard smiled and chuckled .

Well talk later.

Im heading to the hospital to see Yvette .

You can keep Grandma company with dinner So shes going to see Yvette , Josiah thought ..

Alright , Josiah nodded .

But he couldnt shake the feeling that something was off with Howard , something hard to talk about What could it be ? Whys it so hard to even bring it up to him ? Josiah wondered .

Josiah couldnt sleep well that night , concerns of Sienna on his mind .

The next morning , instead of beading straight to the office , he went to the entrance of Sunshine Neighborhood .

He knew Sienna usually went to Lightning Dance in the afternoon , but he wanted to check on her before going to work , to see if she was feeling any better than yesterday Josiah picked up his phone , hesitating .

He wasnt sure if Sienna had woken up yet .

He wanted to go up and check on her , but shed said it wasnt convenient .

Just as he was debating , he saw Sienna walking out of the gate , carrying her bag and looking a bit rushed .

Hi , Sienna , Josiah quickly drove up and parked beside her .

Where are you headed ? Let me give you a ride .

Okay .

Sienna didnt hesitate , getting into the car right away .

As they drove , Josiah noticed she still seemed a bit drowsy and guessed , Did you just wake up ? Yeah .

Sienna paused for a moment , nodding .

She glanced at herself in the mirror , surprised at how obvious it was , Shed struggled with insomnia at first , and only managed to fall asleep later in the night , so she woke up late , Tara , not knowing that Lightning Dance was ori a break , had changed her work hours and hadnt called Sienna Sienna kept checking her phone , urging Josiah Can you go Faster Lightning Dance required clocking in , and being late would result in penalties , including losing out on a perfect attendance bonus Sure

, Josiah pressed the gas , speeding up .

However , the morning rush meant there was some traffic .

He glanced at her anxious expression .

In such a hurry .

I guess you havent had breakfast ? No , Sienna shook her head .

At this point , she didnt have the time to think about food .

Without missing a beat , Josiah grabbed his phone and dialed a number .
