Chapter 107
“Sienna, Cedric murmured, staring at her in surprise, almost mesmerized as he softly repeated her name.
“Huh?” Sienna’s simile hadn’t faded yet.
“You’ve got something in your hair, Cedric said, raising his hand gently brush something off the side of her hair.
“What is it?” she asked.
Cedric handed it to her, and when Sicuna looked, she saw it was tiny, thin glittery piece. Realizing, she said, “Oh, it’s just a decoration from my workout clothes”
Across the street, in his Bentley, Josiah silently observed this scene, his eyes growing colder with every passing second, his gaze slowly freezing over with resentment,
Suddenly, he looked away. Zaid, drive.”
Yes, Mr. Flynn Zaid immediately started the car, careful not to make a sound.
Aman heartbroken was not someone one wanted to disturb.
As the car pulled away, Josiah leaned back in his seat, closing his eyes. ‘It’s not a big deal, he thought. He admitted that recently, he had started to feel a little different about Sienna.
Let’s just call it a liking, he decided as he thought. “But it’s just a liking. Nothing more. Not enough to make me lose my mind over her. After all, who in the world can’t live without someone?
He didn’t believe in that kind of love. “Unwavering to the end? He scoffed. That was just a fairy tale.
Meanwhile, Cedric lowered his hand and quietly said, “Josiah’s gone.”
“Really?” At this, Sienna let out a long breath. Her nerves had been taut, and she hadn’t dared to look around.
“So, can we leave now?” she said.
Cedric’s heart skipped a beat. He liked the way she said that.
He smiled and nodded, a bit shy. “Yeah, we can.” He hesitated for a moment, then added, “Sienna, do you have some time tonight? I’d like to take you out for dinner. Is that okay?”
His request held a hint of something more than just friendship. Sienna wasn’t sure how to answer. If she turned him down, it might seem a bit too cold. But if she said yes, it might feel like she was giving him false hope.
“Sienna?” he asked.
Before she could decide, a car pulled up beside them, and someone called her name. Both of them looked up, and the car window rolled down. It was Miranda.
Miranda had just come from the hospital after visiting Howard and was on her way back to the Flynn residence. From a distance, she had noticed someone who looked like Sienna. When she got closer, she saw it was really her.
And, she wasn’t alone. Miranda’s gaze shifted to Cedric “Cedric
“Yes, it’s me.” Cedric stepped forward with a smile and a slight bow. “Miranda, how have you been lately?”
Tm good Miranda smiled, though her expression seemed a little more complicated.

“You two…” She looked between them, a little curious. “Are you a date?
Sienna froze, her lips parting slightly in surprise.
“Yes” Cedric glanced at her, answering for them both. “Miranda, banks for your support. Sienna and I are just trying to see how things go…
“Ah, 1 see,” Miranda gave Sienna a questioning look. Her cheeks ned pink, but she didn’t deny it.
In other words, it was true. “Okay, that’s nice.”
Miranda sighed, nodding her approval. “This is good.”
Miranda was happy for Siema, glad that she had taken this step lowever, Josiah’s feelings for her seemed like it had all been in vain.
It wasn’t that Miranda didn’t feel bad for Josiah, but she quickly eljusted her attitude and smiled warmly at Sienna. “Since we’ve run into each other, why don’t you come back with me? Let’s have dinner together. You haven’t visited me in a while.”
Sienna hesitated, glancing at Cedric.
“Well, well.” Miranda raised an eyebrow, teasing. You can’t bear to part with Cedric, huh? How about this? Cedric, why don’t you join us? You don’t mind having a little date at my place, do you?”
“Of course
not,” Cedric answered with a slight flush. “You’re Sienna’s elder, so you’re mine too
Oh, I love hearing that!” Miranda grinned, giving a quick order to the driver. “Quick, open the door for Sienna.”
“Miranda, I’ll do it,” Cedric said, stepping forward. He rounded the car to open the door for Sienna, steadying her as she climbed in. “Sienna, take it easy.
“Okay,” Sienna smiled up at him and got into the car.
Cedric then said. “Miranda, I’ll drive myself. You two go ahead, Ill follow behind”
“Ah?” Miranda sounded a bit embarrassed “Won’t that separate you two?”
“It’s fine. Cedric waved at Sienna. “We’ll see each other soon
“Yeah, see you soon,” Sienna said.
The two exchanged words and gestures, and Miranda watched it all, quietly marveling at the fact that Sienna had finally found someone who truly liked her.
At the Flynn residence, Sienna and Cedric joined Miranda for dinner. If they hadn’t come, it would have just been Miranda eating alone.
Due to work, Josiah rarely came home for dinner, and Yvette was at the hospital with Howard
At that moment, the three of them sat in the living room, sipping coffee and eating fruit. Miranda took a sip of her coffee. “Cedric
“Yes, Miranda?” Cedric sat up straight. He had a feeling Miranda didn’t just call him here for dinner.
“Don’t be nervous.” Miranda laughed lightly at his stiff posture just want to talk
“Of course. Miranda. Go ahead,” he said.
Seeing that he didn’t relax, Miranda also shifted her expression to something more serious. “Now that you and Sienna are

She was referring to Cedric’s family. Sienna’s past wasn’t a problem for him, but his family might not feel the same way
“But don’t worry, Miranda added with a reassuring smile. “You’ve got me. I’m your rock, and Cedric, if you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll always have your back

Even if they weren’t, he could handle things with his family. Still, he appreciated Miranda’s kindnew “Okay, thank you, Miranda”

As the three of them chatted, they heard a noise from the entrance. Miranda furrowed her brows. “Who could that be at this hour?

Before long, Josiah appeared, walking in with long strides, his face slightly flushed from drinking
When he saw Sienna and Cedric, his lips curled into a half–smile Looks like we have guests?
His tone made it sound like he didn’t know them at all.
“Josiah Miranda quickly stood up, sensing that something wasn’t quite right with him.
