Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 384

Chapter 384

Yvette was teasing him about Josiah's earlier aloofness towards her. Yvette had noticed everything.

Josiah felt embarrassed and shook his head awkwardly. "How could that be?"

"Then just eat," Yvette handed him a spoon, "Stop overthinking things." Yvette added a side dish to his bowl, "Just like Howard, I'll always be your family."

Josiah was choked up, his throat tight with emotion. After a long moment, he nodded. "Yeah."

"Here you go," Yvette said.

Josiah swallowed a spoonful of porridge; it was warm, but he still couldn't taste it. He once had a real family. But once again, his family didn't want him.

Josiah thought, 'In my past life, what did I do to deserve this? From the moment I was born and abandoned by my parents, and now is my lover. Life is vast, like an ocean or mountains and rivers, but it's all by myself.'

Following the address Sienna sent him, Conner arrived at the Sunshine Neighborhood. He thought, 'Does Sienna live here? Isn't she the adopted daughter of the Flynn family? Or Mr. Flynn's wife?

'Why does she live in such a community? Not that there's anything wrong with Sunshine Neighborhood, but it just doesn't match her status.'

Full of questions, Conner drove up to the apartment building where Sienna was already waiting for him at the entrance.

"Just park here," Sienna said with a smile as she came over. "This is an old neighborhood. Not much red tape here. As long as you park properly and don't block anyone, it's fine."

"Okay," Conner said as he got out of the car, unable to hide his curiosity. "Sienna, is this where you live?"

"Yes," Sienna said with a knowing smile, understanding his confusion, "Josiah and I divorced a while ago."

Conner was shocked. "When did that happen?" He thought, 'Don't you both make the news for your official announcement not long ago?'

"It's a long story," Sienna laughed, "If you're interested, I'll tell you about it later. Oh, and don't mention it to Joyce, she doesn't know anything about it."

Sienna paused for a moment for emphasis. "And don't mention her dad either; Joyce doesn't know she has one."
