Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 218 Sienna went frozen , her eyes wide with disbelief .

Rosie , just as shocked , glanced at the stunned Sienna and asked Ellie , Is this for real ? Are you sure its not a mistake ? Absolutely , Ellie confirmed with certainty .

Hes such a handsome guy , especially in a heroic rescue situation its etched in my memory .

Rosie stopped asking questions , and Sienna was now certain .

After all , Josiah had indeed been at Fliraty during that incident .

She remembered he had been injured at the time , but she hadnt pressed for more details , as it hadnt interested her back then .

After saying goodbye to Ellie , Rosie and Sienna returned to the Lightning Dance .

Rosie commented , Mr.

Flynn is quite odd does he like to do good deeds without anyone knowing ? Who knows ? Sienna replied .

She and Josiah had known each other since childhood , but she couldnt say she really understood him .

She remembered Josiah as a shy and quiet child , probably because they hadnt interacted much .

Later , after being adopted by the Flynn family , the grown up Josiah had become pretty irritable .

Maybe people have many sides to their personalities .

Josiah could heartlessly abandon her abroad for four years , yet out of a sense of duty , he would risk everything to save her .

Sienna wondered if he would believe her if she brought up the past with him and explain that she wasnt involved in the incident with Yvette .

In the afternoon , Sienna received a message from Josiah .

Josiah : [ Ill pick you up around six thirty to have dinner with Grandma .

] Sienna : [ Okay .

] Sienna had finished her work before five .

She took the time to visit Sunshine Neighborhood .

She had to keep managing her relationship with Josiah while also finding time with Joyce .

Luckily , Joyce was well behaved and easy to take care of .

When she got back to the Lightning Dance just in time , she waited an extra five minutes before Josiah arrived .

Did you wait long ? Josiah asked as he took her hand .

Im sorry to have kept you .

Its fine .

They got into the car .

Sienna turned her head to look at him and said , I remember you were quite shy as a child ; your personality seems different now .

Josiah tightened his grip on the steering wheel , a barely noticeable flicker in his Really ? He smiled wryly .

I dont remember much about my childhood .

Yes , you really were , Sienna said .

eyes .

During her brief visits to the Flynn family with her grandma when she was younger , she remembered he was either reading a book or lost in thought , staying silent around her like an aloof little prince .

Josiah raised an eyebrow .

Did I really have such a phase ? Definitely .

Sienna sighed .

Youve changed a lot since then .

Josiah shrugged .

People change ; they cant stay the same .

He pointedly referenced her .

Havent you changed , too ? This was true .

Sienna knew she had also changed after going through so much .

The Josiah in front of her seemed quite different from the man four years ago .

Josiah … Sienna started .

Hmm ? He glanced at her .

What do you want to say ? Sienna found herself at a loss for words .

She wasnt really sure about his feelings .

Plus , there were still unresolved issues with Howard and Yvette .

She needed to be careful .

1/2 D D Chapter 218 That accident would not be easy to untangle .

After four years , she didnt really want to dive back into the complexities of the Flynn family .

Her thoughts tangled .

Drive carefully and keep your eyes on the road .

9:35 PM Tonight , the Flynn residence was more lively than usual .

Yvette had been discharged from the hospital ; her leg injury was healing well at home .

She was wearing pants and avoiding strenuous movements , and the marks were nearly gone .

With Josiah bringing Sienna along , Miranda smiled .

Its rare to have everyone together ; it feels like a family reunion dinner .

The dinner was pretty enjoyable .

After the meal , Sienna and Josiah carried fruit into the parlor , only to find it already chaotic .

Howard ! Youd better explain yourself ! Yvettes sharp voice filled the air , laced with anger .

Josiah frowned immediately .

Whats going on ? Sienna looked at him and asked , Have Yvette and Howard been arguing a lot lately ? Josiah nodded , not hiding anything .

Since Howard woke up , theyve been arguing often , but I dont know why .

They both entered the parlor .

Miranda , looking stressed , pressed Howard , Howard , Yvette has questions for you ; you should answer her .

Howard glanced at his grandma and then at Yvette .

What do you want me to explain ? I just bought a new property ; whats the problem with that ? No problem ? Yvette scoffed .

Then tell me why you bought a property in Lions Bay ? Its not a new development .

Her suspicion seemed reasonable .

Still , Howard calmly replied , What do you think is the problem ? Am I hiding someone in Lions Bay ? Yvette hesitated , realizing she hadnt uncovered anything of that sort .

Miranda interjected , Yvette , you shouldnt jump to conclusions every time something happens .

Thats not how healthy relationships work .

Yvette struggled to voice her concern , but her instincts told her , Theres something wrong ; he must be hiding something ! Howard hadnt expected Yvette to find out about the property in Lions Bay .

Hervey was usually reliable , so it was clear that Yvette had gained significant influence over family matters within the Flynn family over the years .

Howard sighed .

Yvette , what would it take for you to trust me ? When will these constant arguments every weekend ? Why do you ask me like this ….

? Yvette exclaimed , shocked .

She steadied herself and suddenly declared , Marry me ! The room fell silent .

Everyones attention turned toward her .

Yvette took a deep breath , her resolve strong .

Howard , do you dare ? We should get married right away ! However , Howard didnt respond .

His brow was furrowed as he looked between Josiah and Sienna , staying stubbornly silent .

Howard ! Yvette , agitated , couldnt hold it in .

Why are you hesitating ? Dont you want to marry me ? We should have done this a long time ago ! Howard , Ive waited four years for you !
