Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 317 With the holidays around the corner , Sienna and Tara were busy preparing for Christmas Day .

As arranged with Rosie carlier , Sienna headed to the nursing home two days in advance to pick her up .

Since Sienna wasnt a direct relative , it actually took some time to complete the paperwork .

Finally done ! After returning .

Sienna helped Rosie pack her things hope I didnt forget anything .

If I did you can borrow mine .

Okay , Rosie replied with a smile , nodding .

Cu Hey , Sienna suddenly exclaimed , looking bewildered .

Why do you have so many Christmas goodies here ! Is it a lot Rosies eyes were a bit unclear .

Jane said they came from the nursing home .

The nursing home really thought this through .

Sienna casually flipped through the items , feeling a strange familiarity … These items were just like the ones Josiah had sent her a few days ago .

The stuff from the nursing home was surprisingly nice .

Sienna frowned, sensing an indescribable feeling bubbling up inside her .

Sienna Rosie had finished getting ready .

Can we go now ! Sure ! snapped back to reality and went over to help Rosie up .

Lets go home .

Sunshine Neighborhood was pretty safe .

Daniel had no idea she was there , so they could enjoy the holiday without worry .

The day before Christmas Day , bright and early , Joyce woke up .

Sienna dressed her in a red sweatshirt , tying her hair into two little buns on the sides , and even added a touch of red lipstick on her forehead .

All done !* Joyce dashed to the mirror and couldnt stop admiring herself .

Wow , I look fabulous ! Ha ! Sienna couldnt hold back her laughter .

Haha , Rosie chimed in , also grinning .

Joyce is so adorable ! Joyce turned around and corrected her , Rosie , its fabulous , fabulous .

Right , right Rosie laughed , switching her wording .

I misspoke .

Its fabulous ! Sienna ruffled Joyces buns .

Be a good girl and play with me , okay ? I cant see very well , so you have to take care of me , alright ? Yeah , I know Joyce nodded seriously and then asked , Mom , when is Josiah coming over ! The little one hadnt forgotten Josials promise .
