Who are you ? What were you saying to Joyce ? Are you crazy ? she barked , not giving Josiah a chance to explain .
Then , clutching Joyce tightly , she turned on her heel and walked away , or more accurately , fled , as if Josiah were some kind of monster .
As she hurried off .
Tara comforted Joyce .
Dont worry , Joyce .
Im here Remember , you cant talk to strangers , okay ? Good thing I got there in time .

Tara , why dont you take a break ? Ill take care of Joyce .

Sienna agreed with a small smile .
Later that evening , when Sienna was giving Joyce a bath , the bathroom was warm and cozy .

Joyce , she asked softly , are you feeling upset about something today ? Mommy- Joyce ulted her liule face up to her , her big eyes blinking as if she wanted to say something but couldnt quite get the words out .
Hey ! Sienna couldnt hold back her curiosity .
Joyce , whats wrong ? Is there something you cant tell me ! No , thats not it Joyce shook her head .
Your dads work is … very special .
He cant just make phone calls whenever he wants .
But Sienna would rather lie than let Joyce know what kind of cruel and irresponsible man her father was .
Sienna would bear her hatred for Josiah alone .
Joyce didnt need to know who her father was .
She would live in the blissful illusion of a loving father .
Joyce had suffered enough .
She didnt need more sadness in her life .
I see , Joyce said , nodding obediently .
Ill be good and wait at home for Daddy , Such a good girl For a brief moment , Sienna felt as if her heart had been wrung out .
She didnt even dare look into her daughters eyes .
Joyce , you wont be able to wait for him .
Youll never see your daddy .
Sienna thought .
Joyce , just like Sienna once was , was a child abandoned by her father .
Sienna had once begged .
Daddy , please .
Im begging you .
Daddy , please take me with you .
I promise Ill behave .
I wont eat much , and Ill take care of my lile brothers and sisters ..
