Chapter 268 Sienna turned her head in confusion, only to find Chelsea smiling at her.

The hostility in her expression was no less intense than when she was staring down Yvette earlier.

Sienna frowned, puzzled.

What do you mean? Dont you know? Chelsea tilted her chin slightly, pointing toward the door.

Your boyfriend was here, but he didnt even spare you a glance.

Funny, Dont it? She let out a laugh, her gaze sweeping over Sienna.

When I left Jeiacrity, I thought Josiah would never give up on Yvette, but then I cback and heard he got a girlfriend.

And its you.

Chelseas voice dripped with mockery.

Youre certainly beautiful, but what a pity youve still lost to Yvette .

It seemed Chelsea was an old acquaintance of josialis, someone who had known him for years.

figured Chelsea must have left the country before the Flynn family adopted her, which explained why she didnt recognize her.

you at all.

Sienna Chelsea smiled as she leaned in slightly.

Since Josiah doesnt truly care about you, I guess I wont need to hold back.

With that, she flicked her hair over her shoulder and strode out of the room.

Sienna let out a surprised chuckle, thinking, So.

Chelsea likes Josiah, huh? Well, Mr.

Flynn certainly has no shortage of admirers Stepping out of the rehearsal room, Josial stared at Yvette . Besides your face, are you hurt anywhere else? Can you walk on your own! Yvette scoffed, brushing him off.

Do you really care where Im hurt? Yvette Josiah frowned, hesitating for a long moment before saying, I call Howard and ask him to pick you No need Yvette snapped, gripping his arm tightly.

Why would I need him Hes just like you neither of you actually care about? Josiah sighed, his tone filled with helplessness.

Dont say that.

Howard only wants whats best for you Yvette laughed bitterly, her tears spilling as she chuckled.

Really? He lied to me, and now you too.

Is it because youve been a privileged young master for so long that youve forgotten that, just like me, you once lived in the dirt and used to be the most insignificant and lowly kind of person at your core ? Yvette spun around abruptly.

Dont follow me.

I dont need your fake concern ! Yvette Josiah called after her, completely at a loss .

Mr.

Flynn ... Jlooked unsure of what to do and asked timidly.

What should I do? Follow her.

Josiah instructed with a frown, Ill call Mr.

Mr.

Flynn Josiah picked up his phone and called Howard, Its me.

Yeah, okay, got it Hanging up, Josiah exhaled deeply, relieved to have that sorted.

Then, a sudden thought hit him like a jolt Siennal Without wasting a second, he strode quickly back toward the rehearsal room.

However, when he got there, the room was completely quiet.

Sienna was nowhere to be found.

The only person inside was a janitor, mopping the floor.

Dont cin! The floors wet the janitor shouted.

ty and fear crept in His heart Josiah frowned, turned, and quickly stepped out.

Pulling out his phone, he called Sienna.

An unsettling mix of anxiety pounded as he wondered, Would she be upset enough to ignore me? To his relief, Sienna picked up.

Hello? Sienna Josiah sounded relieved.

Where are you! Sienna said, Im in the dressing room.

cto you, Josiah said.

Sienna held her phone, a bit puzzled.

She thought, Hasnt left with Yvette ? She locked her closet and stepped out of the dressing room.

1/2 11:55 PM & c Chapter 268 The moment she opened the door, she saw Josiah standing right there, slightly out of breath, clearly having run over.

Sienna Josiah took a couple of steps closer, gently taking her hand.

His g gaze softened as he looked down at her, his tone cautious.

Are you upset? Sienna didnt answer.

She simply slipped her hand out of his.

Lets go.

This isnt the place to talk.

Okay Josiah nodded without protest.

This wasnt the right place for a conversation anyway.

Once they exited the stuand got into the car, Sienna leaned back and closed her eyes, her body language making it clear she wasnt in the mood to talk.

Josiah felt a sharp pang in his chest.

There was no doubt she was angry.

Sienna Josiah leaned closer, brushing her hair aside and tucking it behind her car.

Her delicate carlobe, adorned with a small pearl earring.

glinted softly in the light, perfectly accentuating her refined elegance.

He gazed at her frown, his voice low and coaxing.

Dont be upset, okay? I couldnt just ignore her back there Sienna suddenly opened her eyes, staring straight into his .

Josial, have you ever thought about when well break up? Josiah froze, his expression flickering for a moment before his face darkened.

Then he said in an unpleasant voice, Is your memory failing? When we reconciled, you promised not to bring up breaking up easily! 1 remember it.

Sienna nodded, letting out a soft laugh, tinged with helplessness and irony.

Tm not bringing up breaking up.

Im just asking about your plan Josial stared at her with a mixture of pain and frustration in his chest .

Tve never thought about breaking up.

Marriage had been on his mind breaking up was the last thing he wanted Sienna.

. His heart clenched in sudden panic.

He opened his arms and pulled her into a tight embrace.

Didnt Howard already tell you? My feelings for Yvelle are just out of gratitude.

Just gratitude? Sienna raised her hand, her finger pressing lightlym against his chest before stopping over his heart. Maybe you and Howard are both wrong.

What if your feelings for her go beyond gratitude ? .

Josiah said.

Stop, Sienna Its possible Sienna ignored his protest, smiling.

Didnt Howard fall for Yvette in the ve sway at first ?yosiah let out a speer, his frustration spilling over. Sounds right, but its utter nonsense.

Im not Howard ? He clasped her hand tightly, intertwining their fingers.

Jealous, arent you just admit it.

And honestly, I kind of like it when youre jealous.

He thought that her jealousy meant she cared about him.

Sienna also smiled with her eyes fixed steadily on his face.
