Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 369 There was a few seconds of silence .

Josiahs voice , soft and low , finally broke the quiet .

Yes , I like you .

Its true .

How could I not like a girl who literally saved my life ? Josiah … Yvettes heart eased , and tears shimmered in her eyes .

Josiahs gaze darkened , and his voice grew heavier as he continued , But Yvette , you and Howard have been together for over ten years .

Not once did I feel a hint of jealousy .

I only felt happy for you two As he spoke , the light in Yvettes eyes began to dim .

Josiah took a deep breath, as though he could no longer hold back .

Do you understand what this means ! No … Yvettes heart raced , shaking her head frantically in disbelief .

Josiah stared at her , his voice growing even softer .

What I feel for you is just gratitude .

To me , this kind of feeling has nothing to do with your gender , or maybe it goes beyond gender .

He always treated her as his lifesaver .

That was why , all these y years , he had protected her without condition and just wanted her to be happy .

No ! Yvette shook her head , tears streaming down her face .

Its not true ! Its getting late .

Josiah looked away , his arm twitching slightly .

Youre tired .

You should rest .

Clearly , he didnt want to continue this conversation .

However , Yvette had already backed herself into a corner .

Josiah , dont leave ! She called out , her voice desperate , her eyes frantic .

I get it ! Its because of your grandmother , right ? Youre worried shell oppose it , arent you ? As the head of the Flynn family , Miranda could never stand for any scandals within the family .
