Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 420

Chapter 420

Andy raised an eyebrow as he wondered, 'Oh? What could it be?" "Mr. Andy Evans, shall I invite Mr. Edgar Evans in?" Ethan asked.

"No rush." Andy shook his head, narrowing his eyes, which gleamed with sharp intent. "If he wants to enter the Evans residence, he must do so of his own accord. Let's wait."

"Understood," Ethan replied Andy thought, 'He's already here. How much longer could he wait?' *****

Outside the gates, Josiah extinguished his cigarette, exhaling a long breath, before pushing open the car door and stepping out.

As soon as Josiah's feet touched the ground, the heavy iron gates swung open automatically. At the entrance, Ethan stood waiting with a few people, greeting him with a deep bow. "Mr. Evans, please come in."

Josiah cast a glance at Ethan but said nothing and simply strode forward. He knew-Andy was expecting him.

In the living room, Andy, as always, was preparing coffee when Josiah entered. Without lifting his head, Andy gestured to the couch opposite him. "You're here? Have a seat." Josiah remained silent but obeyed, sinking into the seat.

"Hmm?" Confused, Andy lifted his gaze, and the corners of his lips curled into a mocking smirk. "So quiet today?" Every time Josiah was here, he made a commotion. "Well. Now, this silence is unsettling," Andy said.

Faced with the taunt, Josiah remained tight-lipped. There was no trace of amusement on his face. He hadn't gone there to exchange pleasantries.

"What's wrong?" Andy stopped laughing upon noticing Josiah's demeanor. "Something happened?"

Their eyes met, and Josiah hesitated for two seconds before he finally spoke. "I need to find someone."

Andy raised an eyebrow. "Who?"

"Someone you don't know." Josiah shook his head. His gaze darkened as he leaned forward slightly. "I need your network." As soon as he said that, both Andy and Josiah fell into a stunned silence. Silence stretched between them.

Josiah had been weighing this decision since leaving the Fischer residence the previous night. The connections he once wielded had all belonged to the Flynn family-connections that Miranda had strictly forbidden him from using.

Josiah was willing to swallow his pride and ask for help for Joyce's sake. However, hesitation still bound his hands and feet.

Joyce was waiting for him to save her life.

Meanwhile, Sienna was in the hospital, shedding tears. Overnight, she had become as thin as a wisp of paper. Josiah could throw away his dignity and forsake his self-respect, but only if he had control over the situation.

The only place that could allow Josiah the freedom to act as he pleased was the Evans family. After careful consideration, he came here.

A brief silence fell between them before Andy's lips curved into a meaningful smile. "So, you want my connections?"
