In the soft light , she appeared delicate ..

You fainted from that stomachache ; you cant skip your meds .

As he placed the glass down , his hand accidentally nudged something off the table .

Whats this ? Josiah bent down to pick it up .

It was a womans wallet definitely Siennas .

The wallet was open , and he caught sight of a photo tucked inside .

Give it back ! Sienna shot up , snatched the wallet from him , and quickly closed it .

Her charming eyes shot him a wary glare Dont touch my stuff I Josiah finally snapped .

Sienna , do you have any gratitude at all was just getting you water so you could take your medicine .

Save your kindness .

Sienna clenched the wallet , her expression icy .

I dont need you fetching me water or buying medicine .

I wont take it .

You ! Josiah felt anger mounting , and his handsome face hardened .

Dont need my kindness ? Fine , like I wanted to help anyway .

If I keep getting involved , Ill just … Look like an idiot ! He couldnt voice that thought to her , so he turned on his heel and stormed upstairs, irritation seeping from every step .

Sienna kept her eyes shut , enduring the tension from their argument .

Gradually , she opened her eyes and gazed at the wallet , gently tracing her fingers over the photo .

Joyce , that was too close .

Given how much he hates me , he wouldnt recognize Joyce .

But I just cant let him find out about her .

Shes my child , mine and mine alone .

she murmured to herself .

Sienna then took a cab back to Silver Beach to collect her luggage .

Just thinking about not having to see Josiah today put her at ease .

She took the subway downtown , switched to a bus , and made a quick stop at an ATM to withdraw some cash .

He had been with the Flynn family for a long time and sometimes managed to chat with Josiah .

Mr.

Flynn , finding a ride at this hour is tough .

Why not help Sienna out ? Tough to find a ride ? Josiah looked up and raised an eyebrow .

No need .

She has nothing else to do and isnt in a rush .

Zaid was at a loss for words , clearly exasperated .

After working for Josiah for years , he knew deep down that Josiah didnt really give a damn about Sienna .

Sal , Jan Chapter 22 Enough .

Josiah waved him off , narrowing his eyes.

You know how she is .

If I called her over , with her pushy nature , shed just cling to me non stop .

I dont need that kind of hassle Wasnt she the one who pushed me away ? Why should I help he now ? Better to just leave her be , he thought to himself , letting out a cold , mirthless laugh .

Mr.

Flynn … Zaid tried to make one last attempt at persuasion Josiah interrupted , raising his hand .

Lets go .

The car in front las moved , Oh , right .

Meanwhile , Sienna made her way back to Silver Beach , feeling hot and sticky .

The bus had been packed , squashing her like a sardine in a can .

She was back to grab her luggage , and since the suitcase hadnt been opened , it was easy to pack up .

She could just drag it out and go .

Once she sat on the sofa in the living room , she took out the cash she had just withdrawn from the ATM- $ 1,700 .

After that , she pulled out a blank envelope and jotted down a few lines .

Finally , she stuffed the money into the envelope and placed it on the coffee table .
