Chapter 26

‘I don’t know Sienna? Does he really know her so well that he would skip meals just to find her? Yvette thought, anger bubbling inside her.

Josiah stepped ourside but couldn’t find Sienna. “Where could she have gone Grandma’s surgery

ry is still going on, she wouldn’t just take off thought and pulled out his phone to call her.

The phone rang, but before she picked up, he heard her ringtone nearby. Following the sound, he walked toward the fire escape and spotted her

“Hello!” Sienna had just answered when the call dropped. “Huh? What’s going on?”

“What’s going on?” Josiah’s voice came from behind her.

Shocked, Sienna turned around. “Why are you here?”

“That’s my question. Why are you hiding here?” Josiah frowned, his handsome face suddenly serious. “Come eat with me. Do you need a formal invitation? Are you a kid?”

“No need” Sienna shook her head.

“No need againt is that all you can say!” Josiah was getting frustrated with those two words “Who knows how long the surgery will take. If Grandma comes out and you faint from hunger, that’s going to be my problem too”

“I really don’t need to.” Sienna insisted.

T

“Be honest” Josiah narrowed his eyes, studying her striking face. “You’re afraid to face Yvette, aren’t you?”

What? Is that what he thought? Sienna paused, falling silent

Josiah took her quietness as confirmation. His deep voice carried a hint of mockery. “You knew this would happen, so why did you do that in the first place? You made your bed, now you have to lie in it.”

Yvette is the one who told you that I’m too scared to face herf Stenna stared at him and blurt out, “Did Yvette say that

“What?” Josiah looked puzzled, not following what she was referring to.

“Nothing” Sienna replied, not wanting to know anymore. She felt it was pointless and regretted asking in the first place.

Four years ago, Josiah had taken Yvette’s word without any evidence. Was he really going to try to clear Sienna’s name now! Sienna doubted it Besides, at this point, she didn’t care if she was wrongly accused.

She shook her head, insisting. It’s nothing. I really don’t need anything. You all go ahead and est. I have something to cat.”

“What do you…” Josiah trailed off as his eyes landed on the stairs. He noticed her black backpack propped against them, and on top of it, there was a lunchbox

The lunchbox was open,

pen, revealing its contents–a sandwich and some carrot sticks. He wished there was more, but that was

Josiah furrowed his eyebrows in disbelief. “You’re just eating this?”

that was all she had

“Yeah,” S

“Sienna nodded, keeping her demeanor calm.

Josiah couldn’t understand why she ate this line. To him, “skimpy” didn’t even begin to c

to cover it. Such a meal could only be detrimental to her

health

He thought, “The Flynn family gave her a generous allowance every month, more than enough for a comfortable life, She’s no less privileged than any socialite in Jelacrity.

So it’s not about money. The only e

explanation left is what Yvette said–Sienna is on a diet

“Darting to stay in shape, huh?” Josial gritted his teeth as he looked at Sienna “Have you ever looked at yourself? You’re so thin that a breeze could knock you over.”

Sienna remained quiet, showing no reaction.

“Fine. If you want to lose weight, go ahead. It’s your body that’s falling apart, not mine.” Josiah waved dismissively and walked away.
