Chapter 44
“Ouch!” Sienna cried out in pain and had to stop reluctantly.
She took a deep breath, trying to remain calm. “Why did you come here? Is there something you need?”
Josiah let out a quiet sneer and didn’t bother to answer her question. He pointed to the door in front of him. “Open in
Sienna blinked, wondering, “What? Is he planning to go in?
But she wasn’t having it. “Just say whatever it is right here…”
“Open it!” Josiah’s patience snapped, and he suddenly growled, glaring at her. “Do I really have to say it a third time?”
Seeing the anger on his face, Sienna paused. It was not wise to argue now. She pulled out the key and unlocked the door.
Josiah entered before her. “It’s so dark. No lights in the hallway or the house?”
Before his anger could rage any further, Sienna rushed in and turned on the main light. Finally, they could see clearly
This place was too small. Sienna didn’t mind when she was alone, but with Josiah’s tall and imposing presence, it felt cramped.
Josiah didn’t say a word as he looked around. It was a one–bedroom, one–bathroom apartment with an open kitchen.
They called it a one–bedroom, but actually, the living room and bedroom were connected, and the kitchen was just a nook by the entrance. Only the bathroom was separate.
He thought, “Was this supposed to be an apartment? It wasn’t even as big as a single bedroom at the Silver Beach.
The only advantage was that it was clean and tidy However, no matter how spotless and organized it was, to Josiah, this shabby place was still an cyesore.
He spun around qui
quickly, his eyes fixing on Sienna, his face dark and stormy. “Tell me, What do you mean by this?”
Sienna was a bit taken aback, not quite understanding his question. “Haven’t you seen it? I live here..
“Nonsense!” Josiah’s face was chillingly indifferent. I’m asking you. Why are you living here?”
Sienna held back the urge to roll her eyes and replied sarcastically, “Obviously, because this is the only place I can afford.”
“That’s absurd!” Josiah retorted instantly. “Didn’t I provide you with a place? Didn’t I give you alimony? Are you saying you have nowhere to live or
“That’s your money and you
your house. It has nothing to do with me,” Sienna countered without hesitation.
Josiah was taken aback. “What did you say?”
“Humph.” Sienna curved her lips into a faint smile. “When we signed the divorce agreement, I told you that I wouldn’t take anything from the Flynn family. I’m serious.”
Even when she was on her deathbed, she didn’t take a penny from him. Now that she was alive, she would no longer need it
Josiah suddenly recalled. Gilbert had mentioned that she still hadn’t gone to the law firm to handle the transfer procedures specified in the
agreemeni
Josiah asked, “What… are you thinking?” “Is she serious? Is this just another trick?‘ he thought.
“It’s simple. Because of the height difference, Sienna had to tilt her head to look at him, a slight smile on her lips.
“On your own?” Josiah couldn’t help but let out a low, mocking laugh, waving his hand. Just like that! Living in this slum?”
Sienna gave a slight nug on her lips. “To you, yes, this is a slum”
But not to her. In Flirty, al
she lived in conditions worse than this and even used to sleep on the streets…. “Enough” Josiah was tired of the argument, waving his hand. “Pack your things and come with me now?
Sienna was shocked and thought it was ridiculous. “Come with you! This is my home. I’m not leaving”

Chapter 44
“Siennal” Josiah stared deeply at her. Ever since she returned, the thing she did most was to reject him.
“Do you think I like dealing with you! I’m doing it for Grandma,” said Josiah.
Hearing that, Sienna remembered, Miranda said that Josiah was supposed to treat her like a sister. Only if she was doing well could he divorce her successfully.
Knowing she understood, Josiah urged again, “Come on. Hurry up and pack.”
“No need” Yet, Sienna still refused.
“Sienna“” Josiah was almost out of patience. “What do you really want?”
Sienna let out a long, helpless sigh
She looked at him calmly and spoke softly. “Didn’s Grandma say you should see me living well? Then just watch me hive happily and let me handle it myself, okay?”
“Yourself Josiah sneered at her. “Don’t be ridiculous. Ever since you were licen…”
“That was in the past Knowing what he was about to say, Sienna coldly interrupted him. I’m thankful to the Flynn family and Grandma for their kindness, but please rest assured, I can support myself now. Im not the same burden I used to be”
“Burden?” Josiah was stung by the word, frowning with displeasure, Did I ever say that about you?”
‘Didn’t he? From his high position, stepping on an ant is nothing to him, thought Sienna.
Sienna felt a chill in her heart but didn’t want to argue, only stood her ground. “I’m perfecily comfortable living here, and I won’t move
“Sienna” But Josiah wasn’t going to just let her go like that.
“Do you even know where you are? 12th Avenue isn’t a place for a girl to live alone. The people here are just too complicated.”
Complicated? Well, that isn’t wrong. Considering I’m a dancer at Mare, I am also seen as complicated too, Sienna
“It’s no big deal, Sienna shrugged casually. I just close my door and live my life without interacting with others.”
Josiah was at a loss, surprised by her stubbornness
“It’s getting late.” Sienna walked to the door and opened it. “I need to rest, and you should leave now
That was clearly a request to leave. Josiah could do nothing about it, as he couldn’t exactly knock her out and take her away
“Mr. Flynn?” Sienna reminded him again, pointing to the door. “You should go,”
Josiah took a deep breath and stepped forward. As he crossed the doorway, he still wasn’t ready to give up. “Sienna, you…
“I’m fine.” Sienna gave him a faint smile, truly relaxed. “Don’t worry about Grandma. Since she’s already eased up, I’ll continue to talk her out of it. I believe you won’t have to wait much longer”
Josiah was taken aback, thinking, “Is that really what concerned me? He wanted to argue, but that was exactly what mattered to him.
“Go on. It’s really late, Sienna smiled at him. “Be careful on your way home!
Then, she slowly closed the door.
Josiah stood outside the door, and suddenly, everything went completely black. What a dreadful place.
He thought. Whatever. If Sienna loves staying here, let her stay. It’s not like Tan the one torturing her. She seeks trouble herself, so what can I do!
Resolute, he turned to go downstairs. The stairwell was completely dark, and suddenly, Josiah paused. It seemed that something was clinging to his
