Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 402

With Joyce in his arms, Conner left the outpatient building with Sienna. To their surprise, they were stopped at the exit.

"Well, well, well," uttered Reyna, arms crossed, looking leisurely between Conner, Sienna, and Joyce. "Care to tell what's going on here?"

Sienna frowned, her heart sinking. "Why are you here?"

Conner hurriedly handed Joyce to Sienna. "Sienna, take Joyce and go. Reyna

can be a bit much; I don't want her to frighten Joyce."

"Okay." Sienna nodded. "Joyce, say goodbye to Uncle Conner."

"Bye-bye, Uncle Conner!" voiced Joyce.

"Bye-bye, Joyce," replied Conner.

Without further ado, Sienna hurried away with Joyce in her embrace.

"Hey, get back here!" Reyna immediately went after Sienna. "Stop right there! You hear me, Sienna?"

"Reyna!" Conner raised his arm to stop Reyna. "Stop it. What are you doing here?"

In hindsight, he sneered, "You tailed me."

"Yeah, so what?" Reyna was not going to deny it. Ever since the BMW incident, she had been holding a grudge. Conner had refused to admit that he had bought Sienna a car.

"Had I not tailed you, you'd have kept lying and never owned up." Reyna pointed in the direction Sienna had gone. "How do you explain yourself now? Didn't you say nothing was going on between you two?"

"Look at yourself." Conner frowned and shook his head. "Why wouldn't I tell you the truth? Because I knew this would happen. Do you even see Sienna as your sister?"

"She's not!" Reyna retorted, her chin held high. "We don't share the same mother. How can she ever be my sister?"

"You..." Conner pursed his lips with anger. "You can't even tell right from wrong! This is exactly why I told you nothing!"

He grabbed Reyna's wrist and continued, "Quit making a scene here. We're going home."

"Fine by me! As if I'm scared of you," stated Reyna.
