At this moment, Cedric’s phone rang. It was a friend looking for him.
“Go on ahead.” Sienna smiled at him after noticing.
“Yeah, okay,” Cedric stood up and, before leaving, mustered the courage to ask, “Sienna, can we exchange contact details!”
It wasn’t an unreasonable request. “Sure,” Sienna nodded with a smile, taking out her phone to exchange numbers and connect on social media.
“Great” Cedric’s face lit up with joy, his heart filled with happiness. He waved at Sienna. Tim heading off now, see you later
“Okay, see you.”
The birthday party was lively and bustling With Miranda holding the fort, everyone enjoyed themselves. As she grew ured towards the end, it was Josiah who, along with Sienna, saw the guests off.
Cedric, with his famaly, watched her from afar. As their eyes met, he grinned and gestured with his phone, indicating they’d stay in touch
Sienna gave a slight smile and nodded in response.
Little did they know, their subtle exchange was entirely noticed by the man standing beside them.
With all the guests finally gone, there was nothing left to worry about. Sienna let out a sigh of relief, massaging her neck as she turned to head upstairs
She thought to herself that the evening had been tiring enough. A 30–minute practice session should be all she needed before she could shower and go to bed.
As she reached the second floor, a cold laugh auddenly came from the person beside her.
Sienna lifted her head, looking at Josiah in confusion.
Josiah lowered his gaze slightly, obviously mocking “Are you happy?”
“Huh!” Sienna was stunned,
“What’s got you so happy!” She didn’t answer, but Josiah insisted. “Come on, tell me, so I can be happy too.
His mocking tone made Sienna frown. “It’s my birthday today, can’t I be happy? Should I be sad instead!”
“Sienna!” Josiah suddenly exclaimed, grabbing her waist and pinning ber against the wall. He even lifted her up. Sienna could only feel her feet leaving the ground, pinned to the wall by him.
Before Sienna could react, his handsome face moved in close to bers. In the next moment, his warm lips pressed against hers. Without any pause, an intense kissing followed, their breaths mingling together.
Sienna’s eyes widened in shock, her mind went blank, and her clenched hands trembled slightly. What is he doing? She thought. Sienna froze completely, her whole body tensed as she struggled hard.
However, Josiah’s strength was too much, and she couldn’t break free. In a panic, she bit down hard.
Josiah groaned in pain and released her. It felt like his tongue had been bitten, and the taste of blood filled his mouth. “Sienna, are you part dog or something”
Shock wasnt enough to describe how Sienna fels at that moment. Her lipstick was smeared, her lips were a bit red and swollen from the kiss, and they glistened with a thin sheen of moisture under the light. What are you doing? Are you crazy?”
She’d never expect Josiah to kiss her.
“What
hat did you say?” Josiah was stunned and squinted his eyes. He didn’t think it was crazy for him to kiss her at all. Suddenly, fire sparked in Josiah’s eyes, and be reached out towards her.
Don’t come any closer Siena’s rigid body started to trendle uncontrollably. She took two steps back, then turned around and ran

“Sienna!” Josiah quickly caught up but was stopped at the door. He wanted to knock, but it would wake Miranda. He let out an almost silent chuckle. his half–closed eyes giving off a sharp glint. He was confident to have her.
Inside the room, the moment Sienna entered, she collapsed onto the floor. She lifted her hand, fiercely rubbing her lips, and murmured softly, “No,” Her entire body trembled uncontrollably as fear slowly spread from deep within her heart.
She couldn’t believe Josiah actually kissed her. She didn’t know what he wanted to do. Sienna couldn’t understand. She shrank back, got up from the floor, and stumbled into the bathroom to start brushing her teeth. again and again.
She wanted to wash away all traces of Josiah, make it completely gone. Suddenly, her phone vibrated in her pocket. It was a call from Hannah “Hello?” Sienna tried to stay calm as she swiped to answKCT
“Hi, Mommy,” A sweet voice came from the other end.
Joyce!” Instantly. Sienna’s eyes turned red, tears welling up uncontrollably. “Joyce, my sweet baby
“Mommy Joyce sounded cheerful today. Is it dark over there now? Are you getting ready for bed!” It was now past eleven at night in Jelacrity, whereas over in Flirty, it was around ten in the morning.
“That’s right” Sienna replied with a smile, “Joyce’s so smart. Did you just
wake up? Did you sleep well last night?”
“Yeah, I did. I’ve been up for a little while now. Hannah came to see me, and I wanted to call Mommy”
“Really!” Listening to the child’s voice made Sienna’s heart melt. “Did you want to call Mommy because you miss me?”
“Yes, I did,” Joyce’s voice was soft and sweet. “Today is Mommy’s birthday. Happy birthday, Mommy”
Sienna was taken aback when she heard it. Her eyes brimmed with tears instantly. She hadn’t expected Joyce to call her for this reason. Her voice was nearly breaking with emotion. “Thank you, my dear Joyce.”
“No need to thank me. Mommy. Without you, there wouldn’t be me”
Sienna couldn’t hold back any longer. Tears were streaming down her face.
Even Joyer could tell. “Mommy, don’t cry. I love y
you!
“Mmm,” Sienna was choking back her tears. “I love you too
“Mommy,” Joyce whined, “1 really, really miss you. When are you coming to get me?”
Sienna paused, feeling a wave

“Soon” She comforted Joyce, holding back her emotions, Joyce, be a good girl, listen to William and Hannah. Mommy is working hard, and 111 come get you soon.
“Okay” Joyce sounded a bit disappointed. But as she grew up dependent on Stenna, she was a well–behaved girl. “Okay, I’ll be good. Mommy, I’m giving the phone to Hannah now.”
“Good girl, Joyce.
“Sienna.” The phone was handed to Hannah,
“Thank you, Hannah,” Sienna said, her voice choked with emotion. No doubt this call was arranged by Hannah. Joyce was only three, hadn’t been to school due to poor health, and couldn’t even remember her own birthday.
“Why thank me? No need to be so distant, Hannah said casually, then asked, “For Joyce’s surgery, do you have
