Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 413

'Mr. Flynn must be back for real this time,' Tara thought as she hurried outside. Sure enough, it was Josiah. After a long day of playing, Joyce was exhausted and fast asleep in his arms.

Tara felt a sense of relief upon seeing him. "Mr. Flynn, you should go and have a look. Someone is causing trouble again."

From the open apartment door came the shrill, piercing screams of a woman.

Josiah's expression grew tense. Afraid of waking Joyce, he carefully handed her over to Tara. "Tara, take Joyce for a walk downstairs."

"Oh, okay," Tara responded, understanding that he didn't want to frighten Joyce. She cradled Joyce in her arms and headed downstairs.

Josiah frowned and strode into the apartment.

Sienna screamed in anger, flipping Tania over and pinning her down. She pressed her palm against Tania's cheek, squeezing hard. Tania couldn't move, her cheek firmly pressed against the floor.

Sienna's eyes blazed with intensity. "Just because I don't hit you, you think I can't? You're not young anymore, Tania. I didn't hit you out of respect for Conner. How could someone as rotten as you have such a good child like Conner?"

She couldn't justify accepting Conner's bone marrow donation while hitting his mother. She released her grip and growled, "Don't you dare try that again. I won't care even if you are Conner's mother."

"How dare you hit me?" Tania gasped as she regained her breath, scrambling to her feet with her eyes blazing red. "I'm going to kill you!"

Josiah stormed in at that moment, his anger blazing. He yanked Tania away, eyes narrowed. "What on earth is wrong with you two? Do you think this is some kind of circus? Grow up and act like adults! Even dogs have better manners than this."

"What?" Tania exclaimed, her fury rising. "Who do you think you are with that filthy mouth of yours?" But as soon as she recognized him, she stuttered, "Y-You're Josiah..."

Josiah didn't waste any words. With a quick flick of his wrist, he threw Tania aside. She stumbled, struggling to keep her balance, her eyes red with fury.
