Chapter 67
“Hmm,” On hearing about the birthday party, Josiah nodded but then paused, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. “Grandma, what did you just say! A good match!”
Miranda gave him a sharp look and said with a bit of annoyance, “Don’t you know what a match means?”
Of course, he knew. Precisely because he knew, Josiah felt a bit restless “Grandma, please don’t be like that, He thought Miranda must be joking. She had actually thought about throwing a party for Sienna to draw eligible bachelors.
“Grandma,” Josiah rubbed his forehead. “Everyone in Jeiacrity knows about her and my relationship”
“Who can you blame for that?” Miranda smirked. “If you were willing to be with her properly, would I be this worried?”
Tut, Grandma-”
“Stop talking,” Miranda said firmly. “I’ve made up my mind. I’m handling this matter, or else, if she’s left to her own choices, she might find another. old man.” Miranda shook her head. This must not happen again! Josiah”
She looked at Josiah and sighed, “You’re the one who left her. You let her down, and so did I. If I don’t see her happily settled, I won’t rest in peace.” “Grandma-“Josiah was at a loss for words, completely helpless. He had no choice but to agree with Miranda, “Alright, let’s do it your way” “Okay,” Miranda was satisfied and reminded him, “Yvette is not here, so I’m leaving this to you. When the time comes, make sure to invite all the good young men from Jelacrity.”
“Alright,” Josiah nodded, the word almost stuck in his throat
“Oh, and” Miranda added. “Don’t let Sienna know about this for now. We’ll tell her once I find a suitable candidate”
Sienna’s situation made it challenging to find someone suitable. In the circle of high society in Jelacrity, there were always reservations. If nothing came through temporarily, she’d be afraid Sienna would be upset
However, suggesting Miranda lower her standards and settle for someone from a normal family was not agreeable to Miranda. She cherished Sienna so much. Sienna was fit to be her granddaughter–in-law.
So she wouldn’t allow Sienna to marry just anyone. Sienna must marry well. Even if it meant marrying again, it needed to be a step up
Leaving the study, Josiah turned to head back to his room. By now, it was too late, and he didn’t feel like returning to the Silver Beach, so he decided to spend the night here. But as he passed by Sienna’s bedroom, he stopped.
Sienna came to the family at fifteen, and of course, she had her room in the house. Even after marrying him and spending years abroad, Miranda made sure her room was kept just as it was.
At this moment, the room door was firmly closed. Josiah squinted, thinking to himself, “What’s she up to now
Suddenly, the door opened. Their eyes met, and Josiah felt a bit awkward and looked away.
Josiah, Sienna sudde
suddenly called out to him
He frowned and instinctively blurted out, “What did you just call me?”
“What?” Sienna looked surprised and repeated, “Josiah,”
heard her and furrowed his eyebrows even more. Only then did he realize that was how she was addressing him.
“What’s wrong?”
Sienna didn’t know what went wrong, but she noticed the man seemed upset again.
Josiah couldn’t quite explain it, only that he remembered she never used to call him that. She used to call him “Mr. Flynn“, then just “Josiah, Hardly anyone ever used his full name. Using the full name usually suggested formality or distance.
It seemed like ever since he came back, that was bow it’d been. He found it somehow very odd. Josiah felt uneasy, but couldn’t quite explain why. His tone wasn’t very pleasant as he asked. “What do you need from me?”
Seeing his expression worsen, Sienna decided to get straight to the point. “I wanted to ask if you could keep my dancing at Maze a secret from Grandma. Just say at night I go to the center to teach kids how to dance, okay?”
Josiah nodded slightly, “Understood,” After thinking for a moment, he added, “This isn’t a long–term solution. I think you should leave Maze sooner

rather than later.”
Upon hearing this, Sienna’s face froze for a moment, but she forced a smile. This is my job. It’s how I support myself
“Do you really have to?” Josiah asked, clearly dissatisfied. “Even if you don’t do this, you’re not going to starve!”
Sienna let out a helpless chuckle, “How’s that even-
“Ill feed you!” Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by his unexpected words. Sienna was taken aback, thinking she might have misheard. “What did you say?”
1–Josiah was startled by his own words. He didn’t know what was going on with him to say something like that.
His Adam’s apple bobbed intensely as Josiah tried to remain calm. “What I mean is, the Flynn family can support you. Grandma cares for you so much, she treats you as her own granddaughter. Do you think they would let you starve!”
Sienna sighed with relief and smiled softly. “But I’m still not part of the Flynn family. Grandma may care about me, but I can’t be shameless and ungrateful. I’ve already owed the Flynn family a lot.”
After saying that, she waved and said, “It’s late, I need to sleep now. Goodnight,” She then stepped back a couple of steps and closed the door.
Josiah stood outside the door, narrowing his eyes slightly. The current Sienna handled things with grace and tact. Some of the young elites might ignore her past and fall for her Josiah closed his eyes tightly, thinking, “Why have a birthday party?
Even though he was very reluctant and frustrated, he knew he couldn’t skip his responsibilities. After all, it was Sienna’s birthday.
Purting everything else aside, Josiah actually wanted to give her a proper birthday celebration. Sienna only found out on the day itself.
Early in the morning, Sienna was having breakfast with Miranda The housekeeper Linda and her team started the preparations. Delivery people, temporary chefs, walters, and all the others arrived.
Sienna realized late and asked, “Grandma, are we having guests over today?”
“Yes” Miranda replied with a smile, patting her hand, “It’s for your birthday party.
“What Sienna was quite surprised. “Grandma, it’s really not necessary. It’s just a birthday.” She hadn’t celebrated her birthday for many years, so she completely forgot today was her birthday.
“It’s necessary,” Miranda shook her head with an apologetic look. “Last time at the welcome party, you felt wronged. This is the perfect opportunity to make it up to you. I want everyone in Jelarrity to know you’re my wonderful granddaughter.
“Grandma-
“Everything’s ready, Miranda said with a smile, “Invitations have been sent, the evening’s staff is here, and you just need to look pretty and be happy
Meanwhile, at the front gate, the wrought iron gates opened as a black Bentley Mulsanne slowly drove in.
