Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 222 Sienna glanced at his expression and didnt know what he meant .

Is he implying a breakup ? Panic began to creep in .

Josiah .

Leave ? Josiah waved his hand wearily , surrounded by a cloud of gloom .

Got Before I have second thoughts , hurry away ! Sienna stood frozen , utterly shocked .

Gof Josiah barked .

Sienna flinched as his booming voice made her shoulders tremble .

She furrowed her brow and , after a moments hesitation , turned to exit As her footsteps faded and the door to the study closed , Josiahs pupils contracted sharply .

He rose and moved toward the liquor cabinet .

As the bery alcohol coursed down his throat , he wondered if anyone still remembered that today was his birthday Maybe no one did .

In those early years .

Yvette would secretly give him gifts and wish him a happy birthday .

But that had gradually faded away .

Tonight, all he wanted was to celebrate his birthday with the person he cherished .

Yet even this modest wish had been denied .

The person he cherished had just been driven away .

He believed Sienna had left since she had been with him against her will .

It was late , and the darkness outside was intimidating he worried she might encounter another reckless driver .

Josiah regretted his earlier decision he should not have sent her away at such an hour , he should have at least waited until dawn .

He picked up his phone , intending to call her .

He swiped the screen then hesitated , canceling the call instead .

Fear tugged at his mind .

The study door was knocked upon once more Josiah looked up abruptly as Sienna stepped through the door .

She hadnt left Josiah stared at her , expressionless , secretly biting the tip of his tongue .

There was indeed a sting .

This was real .
