Chapter 10 Sienna paused .
Hes bringing up something from four years age isnt he ? In his eyes , Im just a terrible sinner She smiled slightly and quietly pulled her arm away , deciding to meet their expectations .
Miranda , I really shouldnt have been careless .
Miranda frowned and let out a sigh .
How could you be so careless ? How am I supposed to introduce you to everyone now ? People might get the wrong idea and think the Flynn family is snubbing you or that you dont respect them .
How are you going to build a connection with them in the future ? She then turned to Josiah .
Dont you have a spare dress ? Give it to Sienna .
She cant wear this .
Before Josiah could say anything , Sienna smiled and said , No worries .
If its a hassle , you dont have to introduce me .
Miranda looked surprised .
How can we skip that ? This is a welcome party for you .
We have to introduce you .
Josiah and Yvette were caught off guard as well , and they both turned to look at Sienna , their expressions puzzled .
Sienna ignored their looks and smiled at Miranda .
Its alright .
Your kind gesture with the welcome party means a lot to me .
Everything else is secondary Well ..
Miranda hesitated , looking like she had some reservations .
Sfenna picked up on it and added , Weve got plenty of time .
Therell be more opportunities down the line .
It looked like there was no other option .
Miranda held Siennas hand and gently patted it .
Im so sorry for putting you in this position .
Dont say that .
Im really not bothered .
Sienna chuckled , pulling her hand back .
The guests are still waiting , so you should get back to them .
I cant just stay dressed like this and keep you company .
Okay Miranda sighed helplessly and nodded .
Take care of yourself , and come chat with me later .
Got it , Sienna smiled .
Yvette looped her arm through Mirandas , trying to lighten the mood .
Dont be down .
Sienu back now , and therell be plenty of days for her to hang out with you .
Tonight , let me be your company.
Good girl , Miranda said , patting Yvettes hand .
I love you just as much .
Youre both wonderful kids .
They laughed and chatted as they walked away , with Josiah trailing behind them .
After a couple of steps , he felt a strange urge to look back at Sienna .
From afar , he watched as she walked away slowly , her slim figure seeming lonely and forlorn .
He couldnt help but wonder if hed pushed things too far .
Josiah ? Ahead , Yvette noticed he hadnt caught up and turned to look at him .
She saw his gaze fixed on Sienna and pursed her lips .
Are you upset about what I said earlier ? No.
Josiah replied , withdrawing his gaze and shaking his head .
You just didnt want Grandma to worry , and you handled it really well .
I cant blame you for that .
Wette smiled slightly .
As long as you understand me , thats what matters .
Lets get going , Alright , Josiah nodded .
Chapter 10 Siennas table was tucked away in a corner , surrounded by a few infamiliar faces .
But that was just what she needed a little quiet .
However , things didnt go as planned .
The girls were eyeing her outfit and whispering to each other .
Who is she ? No idea .
Can someone really show up at Mirandas party dressed like that ? Sienna tuned them out and focused on her food .
She still felt hungry after the appetizers .
The soup is really good , she thought to herself , setting her spoon down .
Then she cradled the bowl with both hands and eagerly drank it down .
Ew ! Shes so rude ! Come on , lets go .
The girls walked off , clearly ticked off .
Sienna gently set the bowl back down , a look of relief spreading across her face as the noise faded away .
Suddenly , someone pulled out the chair next to her .
Confused .
Sienna looked up and saw Josiah leaning on the table , slightly turned toward her .
