Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 415

Sienna and Rosie descended the stairs together at the break of dawn. Rosie was heading out early for work, while Sienna planned to visit the nearby market to buy Joyce her favorite crab ravioli.

Rosie had returned home late the previous night and was already rushing out again this morning. Sienna could not help but worry about her health.

"I'll lend you some money if you're in such a hurry to pay back Howard. You'll wear yourself out running yourself ragged like this," Sienna said.

"No," Rosie refused outright. "Borrowing money to pay off another debt? That's just robbing Peter to pay Paul." She smiled. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I stayed up late doing reports last night, and I have an early shift today..."

Rosie's voice suddenly trailed off as she spoke. She then tugged at Sienna's sleeve. "Sienna."

"What is it?" Sienna asked.

"Look over there." Rosie pointed to the sycamore tree at the corner. "Isn't that Josiah's car?"

Sienna looked up and nodded. "Yes," she said, furrowing her brows as she strode toward the sycamore tree.

Inside the car, Josiah saw Sienna approaching. He immediately pushed open the door and stepped out, standing stiffly with his hands at his sides.

"Sienna." Josiah smiled sheepishly.

"Why are you here?" Sienna frowned, her soothing voice laced with confusion and displeasure. "Don't tell me you were here all night."

Josiah gulped nervously as he nodded. "I was."

"You were?" Sienna was taken aback. "Why?"

"I was worried about you," Josiah hurriedly explained upon sensing Sienna's displeasure. "I was afraid Tania would bother you again."

"Why would you be worried about me?" Sienna remained unmoved as a faint smile graced her lips. "Have you forgotten your promise to me?"

Josiah felt his throat tightened. He shook his head with difficulty. "No, I haven't forgotten."

'I won't bother you again for any reason,' Josiah thought. That was the promise he had made to Sienna. "But Sienna, I'm not here to bother you," he explained.
