Caught In His Embrace A Second Chance Romance novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222 Sienna glanced at his expression and didnt know what he meant .

Is he implying a breakup ? Panic began to creep in .

Josiah .

Leave ? Josiah waved his hand wearily , surrounded by a cloud of gloom .

Got Before I have second thoughts , hurry away ! Sienna stood frozen , utterly shocked .

Gof Josiah barked .

Sienna flinched as his booming voice made her shoulders tremble .

She furrowed her brow and , after a moments hesitation , turned to exit As her footsteps faded and the door to the study closed , Josiahs pupils contracted sharply .

He rose and moved toward the liquor cabinet .

As the bery alcohol coursed down his throat , he wondered if anyone still remembered that today was his birthday Maybe no one did .

In those early years .

Yvette would secretly give him gifts and wish him a happy birthday .

But that had gradually faded away .

Tonight, all he wanted was to celebrate his birthday with the person he cherished .

Yet even this modest wish had been denied .

The person he cherished had just been driven away .

He believed Sienna had left since she had been with him against her will .

It was late , and the darkness outside was intimidating he worried she might encounter another reckless driver .

Josiah regretted his earlier decision he should not have sent her away at such an hour , he should have at least waited until dawn .

He picked up his phone , intending to call her .

He swiped the screen then hesitated , canceling the call instead .

Fear tugged at his mind .

The study door was knocked upon once more Josiah looked up abruptly as Sienna stepped through the door .

She hadnt left Josiah stared at her , expressionless , secretly biting the tip of his tongue .

There was indeed a sting .

This was real .

Hey As she approached , he could hear her soft sigh .

Sienna grasped his hand , gazing at him , her long eyelashes fluttering as her voice became gentle and silky .

Its not wise to drink on an empty stomach.

Are you hungry ? Would you like pasta ? Josiah glanced at the arm she had wrapped around his , his throat tightening .

She hadnt left , and she had made him pasta .

Yet , when he opened his mouth , he stubbornly retorted .

I dont like pasta .

Sienna was momentarily taken aback , feeling a wave of frustration .

Still , she had to appease him .

Theyre handnude .

I made and rolled the dough myself ; they re nothing like store bought .

Would you give them a try ! Josiah raised an eyebrow , remaining noncommittal Come on Sienna took the chance , linking her arm through his and tugging him outside .

We also got chicken soup , its delicious Josiah didnt say a word , allowing himself to be led downstairs .

On the dining table were two plates of pasta : one large , meant for him , and a smaller one , intended for her .

She usually watched her figure and avoided eating at night .

Josiah frowned .

You havent eaten yet ? Sienna nodded .

Josiah seized the chance to say sarcastically , Oh , so your roommate is so important , and you treat her so well , yet she couldnt even spare you a dinner ! I wasnt going to dinner with her , Sienna reported , handing him the fork .

She ladled some broth and brought it to his lips .

Drink some soup Gazing at the spoon poised at his lips , Josial hesitated for several beats before finally parting his mouth .

Is it good ? Siennas smile blossomed her eyes sparkling with delight .

Josiah felt a tickle in his throat , nodding slightly .

Minen Have some pasta .
