Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

0 L Chapter 8 Sienna hurried back to Silver Beach but didnt see Josiali .

So , she figured shed head to the bathroom first .

But just as she opened the door , there he was shirtless .

Sienna Shaw ! Josiahs face darkened as he pulled on his shirt , voice low and tense .

Sorry ! Sienna quickly shut the door , her heart pounding .

How was I supposed to know he was the bathroom on the first floor anyway ? in there ? And whys he using Inside the room , Josiahs face was thunderous , and he quickly locked over his shoulder .

She didnt see anything , did she ? Before long , Josiah emerged , now fully dressed .

He pointed at a large box on the coffee table and said , Co change into this .

Sienna figured there had to be a dress inside .

The Flynn family was hosting this event for her , and they werent the type to do things by halves .

Alright , she nodded , picking up the box A few moments later , Sienna stepped out wearing an almond colored off shoulder evening dress that flowed down to the floor .

She had done a quick base makeup routine , lightly defined her eyebrows , and added some lipstick for the occasion .

Luckily , even though she was broke , for her job , she had some basic makeup supplies .

Even with just a few light touches , her naturally striking features really shone through .

Josiah Jooked at her , narrowing his eyes instinctively .

She was tall with tender skin , her long hair pulled back to reveal her delicate swan like neck .

She was breathtaking beyond words .

For a moment , Josiah was taken aback .

She had been cute , but now , in her early twenties , she had blossomed .

She had swapped her girlish innocence for the charm of a sophisticated woman .

Josiah studied her and asked , Did you see anything just now ? See what ? Sienna replied , genuinely confused what was there to see ? It looked like she really didnt notice his back .

Josiah turned and started walking .

Keep up .

The welcome party was held at South Jeiacrity Nursing Home .

Since Miranda wasnt well enough to travel , so having the gathering there was the most convenient option .

Luckily , she had a private room with a little patch of grass outside , which made it just right for a cozy family reunion .

The driver headed straight for the nursing home with Josiah and Sienna in the back .

Sienna sat in silence , lost in her thoughts as she looked out the window .

Josiah was next to her , feeling a bit restless with the heavy silence .

He remembered how Sienna had been around him , chattering non stop .

She always had so much to say , and it used to drive him nuts .

Why so quiet all of a sudden ? Is this some new tactic ? Anyway , shes already signed the divorce agreement , and whatever games she might play , the divorce is a done deal , he mused to himself .

When they arrived , Josiah led Sienna to see Miranda first .

Unfortunately , the doctor was here to do Mirandas routine therapy session .

Miranda took Siennas hand .

The therapy will take about half an hour .

Why dont you catch up with everyone ? Its been years .

Alright , Sienna replied with a warm smile .

1/3 22:19 Sat , Jan 4 Chapter 8 Still , Miranda felt uneasy .

She glanced at Josials and told him , Say with Sienna and keep an eye on her .

Grandma , Josiah frowned , not pleased with the idea .

Whats going on ? Mirandas face grew serious .

I listened to you back then , so why cant you do the same for me ? Four years ago , when Sienna was sent away , Miranda had heeded Josiahs wish not to keep Sienna around .

Josiah didnt have a comeback .

As much as he wished things were different , he could only nod and say , Alright .

Great Miranda sighed with relief , giving Sienna a reassuring pat on the hand .

Go ahead and follow Josiah .

If you have any questions , just ask him ? Okay , Sienna nodded , just as she had been doing since she arrived .

Sienna trailed closely behind Josiah as they left the room and walked through the living room into the courtyard .

She noticed many eyes on them and the whispers floating in the air Hey , whos that with Mr.

Flynn ? Is that Yvette ? Doesnt look like her .

Yvette isnt that tall Cant she wear high heels ? Sienna couldnt help but smile to herself .

She knew Yvette and Josiah were close , but mistaking her for Yvette was a stretch- they didnt look alike at all .

Hello ? Josiah stopped to answer a call .

About the Donciral issue heres the deal … It sounded like business , something Sienna didnt really understand or care about , so she just stood there quietly .

Suddenly , Josiah hurried ahead .

Sienna tried to keep up , but he earned around with a frustrated look .

I have things to deal with .

Stop following me , he said and walked off briskly .

Sienna stood there , a little dazed yet unfazed it was usual for him to leave her behind .

But for a moment , she was at a loss about what to do next .

She placed a hand on her stomach and rubbed it .

Shed only had two slices of bread all day and was feeling a bit peckish now .

So , she figured shed go get something to eat Sienna wandered over to the buffet area , picked up a plate , and started filling it with food .

It all looked delicious , and she hadnt tasted anything like this in four years .

Suddenly , someone gently tapped her on the shoulder .

Yvette ! Sienna paused and turned to find Keyla Gibson , the daughter of the well known Gibson family , someone who had been pretty keen on chasing after Josiah back in the day .

Back then , people used to say that if it werent for Sienna , Keyla could have been the one to marry Josiah .

So , Sienna and Keyla had been preuy much rivals .

Hold on , youre not Yvette .

You … Keyla squinted , scrutinizing Sienna closely .

Then , her expression shifted from confusion to realization .

Are you Sienna ? Keylas friends were all taken aback , and instantly , they turned to look .

22:19 Sat , Jan 4 GAU Chapter 8 What ? Sienna ? She was back ? Huh ? Todays party is thrown by Miranda for Sienna .

How did you miss that ? I had no idea ! I just heard about a party and decided to stop by Oh my ! I cant believe Sienna is actually back .

The girls paused and exchanged disdainful looks .

If I had known , I wouldnt have come .

Being here for her return is just disgusting Oh no ! Sienna is back , and Jeiacrity is not going to be peaceful anymore .

Sienna ignored their chatter and focused on grabbing food .

This chance was rare , and she was determined to make the most of it .

She picked up the tongs and reached for a tray of brownies , snatching one .

Just then , another pair of tongs moved in , and she looked up to see it was Keyla .

Oops .

Keyla pulled back quickly , feigning a nervous smile .

You take it .

Im not really hungry anyway .

Humph , like shes really giving it to me out of kindness .

Same old fake act , Sienna sneered inwardly .

If it had been the past , she wouldve jumped at the chance to make a scene .

But now … Thanks , she replied with a faint smile , placed the brownie on her plate , and then walked away .

Whispers trailed behind her .

Whats going on ? She didnt argue with you Shes different now .

Different ? Come on , a leopard cant change its spots , Keyla scoffed , rolling her eyes .

She gave Siennas dress a scornful once over , a smirk playing on her lips .

Just wait and see .

This is going to be fun to watch .

Just then , Yvette made her appearance .

She was sporting a flowy , almond colored off shoulder gown that grazed the floor .

She was strolling arm in arm with Josiah , her face aglow with a brilliant smile .
