Chapter 297 How did you suspicious? find out? Sienna stared at Josiahs conflicted expression.

She raised an eyebrow and coldly interrupted him, What made you Josiah pointed to her hair and said, The hairpin I gave it to Joyce.

Sienna raised her hand to touch her hair and felt the hairpin, realizing she hadnt noticed Joyce placing it there.

It was surprising how such a small detail had led to this moment.

Sienna lowered her hand, a sarcastic smile on her lips.

After hiding the truth for so long, she was exposed because of a hairpin .

At first, telling Josiah he was Joyces father was her last option, something shed only do if she really had to.

But now, life had thrown her into this situation On one hand, Sienna felt relief; on the other hand, she faced new pressure.

She had imagined this moment countless times in her mind.

At that moment, she managed to keep her cool .

Sienna smirked slightly and looked unwaveringly at the man Arent you curious about whose child Joyce is ! Only she knew the chaos inside her.

She wasnt sure how Josiah felt about Joyce.

Joyce would Joyce have a future! She thought, Would he accept her or not? Only if he embraced Jo Josiah turned pale ; a heavy weight settled in his chest, making it hard to breathe.

Joyce was three years old.

Sienna had left Jelacrity four years ago.

He opened his mouth, struggling to speak.

Mine.

Sienna leaned back in her chair, giving him a cold look .

When I left Jeiacrity, I was already a month pregnant.

Josiah stumbled over his words, mumbling, Mine, shes mine ... Joyce was his child .

That explained why he and Joyce shared such a deep connection Sienna raised an an eyebrow.

Do you doubt it! If you do, a paternity test Not at all ! Josiah quickly denied it, his mouth dry.

I dont doubt it.

I just.

He felt a flicker of irritation Why didnt you tellback then ?! Why were you so stubborn? If only you had confided in me....

Sienna fluttered her eyelashes before scoffing.

You really dare to ask that ? Yes, I didnt tell you, but did I ever get the chance? The past was behind them, but that didnt mean she forgot.

It didnt erase her experiences.

Have you forgotten things because of aging? Sienna smiled again, though there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Your heart was only with Yvette When her child was gone, you were by her side day and night, with no tforSuddenly, Josiah remembered.

Sienna had tried to find him at the hospital, but he hadnt seen her.

A vivid image flashed in his mind Sienna had been running after his car, but he hadnt even acknowledged her .

It was raining that day, and she seemed to have fallen.

It felt like it happened just yesterday, etched into his memory.

Pain coursed through Josiah like a needle pricking his fingertips.

Did you ctothat day because you wanted to tellYes .

Sienna locked her gaze with his, her tone casual .

But to Josiah, it felt like thunder, shaking him to the core.

He closed his eyes in s silence.

As for what happened afterward.

Sienna raised her chin, showing calm resolve.

I did ask you I wanted to stay just one more day in Jetacrity because I was feeling so unwell Her eyes welled up with tears.

Joyce has poor health; I wonder if its because I caught a cold from the rain The weight of her past ccrashing dawn on her heart.

And when I got to Flirty, you didnt contactyou leftall alone in a strange city! Four years! Sienna clenched her teeth, her lips quivering Am I stubborn! Maybe But how can I trust that after you tossedaside, you would accept my child and take responsibility for her? Josiahs eyes widened in shock.

He was left speechless, like he had lost his voice.

Then Sienna suddenly said.

I am legally your wife, yet I am just a parasite you can discard at will Josiah felt like a drill pierced through his mind.

Yes, he remembered calling her a parasite.

At that time, Yvettes child had gone.

Howard had fallen into a coma.

What felt like a valid excuse then now felt pathetically weak.

1/2 | 12:01 PM Chapter 297 Josiah struggled to speak, lips parting but no words cout.

His heart, chest, and limbs were overwhelmed with regret, every move causing him pain.

Sienna.

As he spoke.

Sienna suddenly stood up, ready to leave Josiah quickly followed her, grabbing her hand.

Where do you think youre going? Let go of! Sienna grabbed the strawberry milkshake from the table and splashed it in Josiahs face.

The light pink liquid drenched him completely.

She let out a faint, cold laugh, breaking free from him and rushing outside .

Siennal Josiah didnt care about his messy appearance.

He grabbed the jacket Sienna had left on the chair and sprinted after her.

Sienna ran ahead without looking back Josiah, with his long legs m quickly caught up to her and wrapped the jacket around her from behind.

Let go! Let go of me? Its cold! Sienna, its cold: Sienna stopped glaring at him while trembling, unsure if it was from the chill or her anger. Just put on the jacket.

Josiah, afraid she would run away again, added, You need to care for Joyce; her health is delicate.

If you get sick and pass it on to her, youll be the one who suffers, right? That reasoning convinced her.

Sienna reluctantly opened her arms to slip into the jacket.

She pulled up the zipper, stayed silent, and walked straight ahead.

Josiah lowered his head, following her.

His phone buzzed in his pocket.

It was a message from Zach, showing the results of the matter he had asked about.

Upon enlarging the image, Josiah read the details clearly printed on a sheet.

Sienna halted but didnt turn around Dont followjust go Sienna, Josiah spoke cautiously, biting his lip.

The reason you stayed withwas for Joyce, wasnt it?
