Chapter 94
Out of nowhere. Sienna interrupted the moment, raising her phone. “Excuse me, where is paying? I will cover it.”
“Well..” George was taken aback, instinctively glancing at Josiah. “What’s going on here! he wondered.
Josiah, however, simply smiled, exuding a natural air of refinement. His tone was distant and laced with sarcasm. “You pay? Don’t be ridiculous.
T’s just a toy. Why would she need to pay for it? That’s absurd, he thought. Josiah was well aware that Sienna hadn’t accepted any alimony, and the linle she earned from dancing at Maze wasn’t nearly enough to cover this.
“Keep your paycheck for yourself. I’ll take care of it,” he said.
“I want to pay for it myself; Sienna insisted, summoning all her courage. “If you don’t let me, then. I don’t want this Minnie Mouse anymore!”
“Really now?” he wondered. Josiah’s gaze softened as he observed her. She can’t bear to let it go, can she? From the moment they’d stepped in, eyes had been glued to the Minnie Mouse toy
He understood her resolve to maintain her independence and avoid getting entangled with him any further. ‘Fine. Let her have her way, he thought.
After all, it was his interference that had disrupted her plans. Using this as a way to earn her gratitude seemed meaningless.

“Alright,” he relented, his tone carrying the indulgence of someone humoring a child. You pay, as long as it makes you happy!
Hearing his agreement. Sienna brightened instantly, failing to catch the faint trace of irony in his voice. “George, are we paying or not!”
her
“This way please,” George replied, still slightly bewildered. What a confusing relationship. Oh well, I’ll just focus on doing my job, he wondered.
“Will that be cash or card?” George asked.
“Card Sienna replied promptly.
“Got it,” George said. “Now, the original price for this toy is 13,000 dollars. The staff discount brings it down to 7,000 dollars, and since you’re a friend of Mr. Flynn, I’ll offer you the wholesale price of 5.000 dollars. Please swipe your card.
Wait, how much? 5,000 dollars? Sienna’s mind raced. That’s an 8,000–dollar discount just like that? she wondered.
Overwhelmed with emotion, she al
almost teared up. Thank you, thank you so much
“No need to thank me: George replied modestly. “You should thank Mr. Flynn instead.”
Sienna understood. All of this was because of Josiah. As she swiped her card, Josiah wandered over and caught a glimpse of the price. He raised an ryebrow in surprise.
13,000 dollars for a toy! This thing! While it’s not expensive for me, no ordinary family could afford to keep up with that,’ thought Josiah.
He chuckled to himself, amused. Doesn’t matter. These days, I’m doing just fine without the Flynn family, he wondered.
Even the alimony specified in their divorce agreement had been money he earned himself, something he’d never shared with anyone.
Supporting Sienna wouldn’t be an issue for him now. If nothing else, he’d rather pay for whatever she wanted than risk her throwing a tantrum, or worse, crying if she couldn’t get it
Suddenly, Josiah reached up and pressed his hand against his neck. The spot where Siema had bitten him earlier still stung.
Sienna noticed and hesitated. Was it really that bad? Did I bite him that hard?‘ she thought.
“You She bit her lip, quilt flashing across her face. “Does it hurt?”
If it hurts. would you feel bad for me?” he teased, his lips curving into a playful smirk.
Sarrina Frege, Instantly regretting her question.
“Humph” Josiah muttered, frigning disappointment. “You’re the one who bit me. Is a little concern too much to ask?”
He removed his land, revealing a s
a small, clear bite mark on his neck. A faint trace of blood seeped from the wound.

George caught sight of it and couldn’t help feeling envious. “These vich people really know how to have fun, don’t they? Was this some kind of after frtation pastime they were indulging in? he wonderes.
Oblivious to George’s thoughts, Sienna earnestly asked. “Tho you have a first–aid kit here?”
The wound looked bad enough to warrant some treatment.
George glanced at Josiah, only to be met with a sharp, cutting look that mediately set him straight.
Without hesitation, he declared finndly, “No. We’re not a pharmacy. Why would ver have a first–aid kit bere?”
Even if we did have one, I still say no, George thought to himself.
Sienna didn’t suspect a thing and turned apologetically in Josiah “Maybe we can foul a nearby pharmacy! There should be a
“Fine” Josiah was satisfied. At least she wasn’t ignoring him
Just then, the staff came out carrying the boxed Minnie Mouse toy and looked to George for insinictions. “Who should we give Hubs to?”
“Give it to me,” Sienna said, reaching out automatically,
“Wait a second.” Josiah lifted his eyes, shooting her a brief hut pointed glance. “What does this have to do with you?”
He held out his ann. “Give it to me.”
“Of course, Mr. Flynn, the staff member said, handing over the 26–inch–high box, Josiah carried in with ease.
It was a rare sight, Josiah walking down the street holding a toy box. The image was so comical that Sienna couldn’t hoki back a small laugh.
“Huh?” Josiah looked down at her, eyebrows raised. “You’re Laighing at me?”
Sienna immediately stifled her laughter, shaking her head quickly. “No, not at all.”
Josiah didn’t believe her, but since she looked so beautiful when she smiled, he let it slide,
“Go ahead and laugh,” he said. “You know, you look better when you smile. When you cry, you’re absolutely hideous. Don’t cry anymore, got it?”
Sienna froze for a mon
a moment before turning her head away. Thideous? I shouldn’t care. In his eyes, only Yvette is beautiful, she wondered,
Luckily, there was a pharmacy near TreMall just a short walk away.
You should let Zaid go buy it, Sienna suggested. Tl just head home first,”
“Don’t you dare” Josiah’s temper flared instantly as he pointed to his
neck. “You bi
hit me, and you want Zail to know about it? That’d be humiliating!”
“Hey,” Sienna hased, flapping her hands nervously. “Lower your voice!” It was the middle of the night. He’d wake up the entire street, or worse, drawe the cops
She caved. Fine. I go. Happy now!”
“Humph” Josiah scoffed lightly. “As you should”
Inside the pharmacy, Josiah found a seat on a bench while Sienna bought Betaline swabs and bondages.
When she returned, the gestured to him. “Unbution your collar. If not, the Betadine will stain it”
“You do it” Jouch stretched his arms along the back of the bench, looking thoroughly relaxed
Tine, I have uved 8,000 dollars today thanks to him. I could tolerate this much, she wondered. Sienna gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and reached up to unbutton the top two buttons of his shirt.
Just as she was about to pull her hand back, her fingers accidentally brushed against the curve of his Adam’s apple as it hobbed, Sienna froze briefly
at her fault, after all.
Josiah e esperson darkened. his voice dropped to a raspy tone. “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?
Tesn’t he know how armative a man’s Adam’s apple is he thought.
