Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 407

Cedric took Sienna back to Sunshine Neighborhood.

"Mommy's back!" Joyce ran over with a hop and a skip, throwing herself into Sienna's arms and peering behind her.

Josiah did not lie to her. He mentioned that Sienna would be back today, and Sienna really came back.

"Hello, Mr. F- Mr. Brawne..." Joyce blinked her big eyes. When she saw the person behind Sienna clearly, she realized it was Cedric, not Josiah.

"Hello, Joyce." Cedric smiled and patted her little head. Then, he looked at Sienna.

Sienna, you stay with Joyce and take a good rest. I'll leave now," Cedric said.

"Okay." Sienna smiled as she walked him to the door. "Thank you for your help with my matters. Let me know when you're free, and I'll treat you and Conner to a meal."

They were busy for the whole night because of her, so she wanted to thank them. Cedric was stunned for a moment, and his smile faltered slightly. "Sure."

"Well, drive safe," Sienna said.

"Okay." Cedric nodded, his throat tight with unspoken words. In the end, he said nothing and turned to leave.

Back at her apartment, Sienna ate, took a shower, and lay down, hoping to catch up on some sleep.

Joyce, clutching her Minnie Mouse doll, snuggled into her mother's arms. "Mommy, I'll stay with you."

"Good girl." Sienna smiled, holding her sweet-smelling daughter close, her heart melting at the sight.

"Mommy?" Joyce looked up, asking softly, "Do you like Mr. Brawne?"

Sienna was surprised. "Why would you ask that, Joyce?"

"Because you're always with Mr. Brawne now." Joyce pouted, her voice muffled. "Mommy, don't you like Mr. Flynn anymore?"

Joyce would always assume any mister to be Josiah.

"Mommy." Joyce burrowed deeper into her arms. "Mr. Flynn came to see me last night. He read me stories and put me to bed."

Sienna was surprised that Josiah had gone to Sunshine Neighborhood to take care of Joyce the previous night.

Suddenly she remembered that she seemed to have seen him last night as well.

It was at the hospital. Josiah had visited her.
