Caught In His Embrace A Second Chance Romance novel Chapter 396

Sienna frowned but agreed, "Alright." She got up and followed behind Josiah, one after the other, out of the ward.

Josiah glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost noon. Perfect timing for lunch. How about Lucky Dining?"

Sienna glanced at him and said, "Okay."

They arrived at Lucky Dining and were shown to a private room.

"What do you want to eat?" Josiah asked as he handed her the menu.

Sienna took a sip of water and waved her hand dismissively, saying, "Anything is fine."

"Alright, I'll order," Josiah said. He called the waiter over and rattled off a list of dishes. "We'll start with these. Remember, no cilantro, onion, ginger, or garlic," he added.

"Yes, Mr. Flynn," the waiter replied.

Sienna frowned slightly. He had ordered all her favorites, and made sure to exclude everything she disliked. She set her water down and looked up at him.

"Didn't you have something to say? Speak," Siennna demanded.

Josiah smiled faintly and said, "Let's eat first. We can talk later."

And true to his word, they ate first. After the dishes arrived, Josiah only cared about serving her food. "This venison—you love it," he said.

"Thank you," Sienna said and looked at the growing pile of food in her bowl. She lowered her head and ate slowly.

Josiah watched quietly and murmured, "You have a good appetite."

When she was almost done eating, he served her another bowl of soup. "It's a little hot. Drink it slowly," he said.

"Okay," Sienna nodded and took small sips.

"Sienna," Josiah called out.

"Hmm?" She responded. She looked up and wondered, 'Is he finally going to say it?'

Josiah blinked and said with a faint smile, "Although I've left the Flynn family, the card I gave you can still be used. It won't be affected."

He was referring to the supplementary card he had given her for Joyce's support expenses.

"Okay," Sienna responded with a nod.

Josiah's heart ached with bitterness. He forced a smile and said, "In the future, remember to eat well. If you want to lose weight, eat a healthy diet. Don't starve yourself."

Sienna paused, her eyes locking onto his.

"If you encounter any problems you can't solve on your own, don't shoulder them alone. Go to Howard. He will help you," Josiah continued.

Sienna's almond eyes widened, filled with confusion. 'Why is he saying this?' she wondered.

Josiah took a deep breath and said, "I know everything. Conner is your brother."

Sienna's eyes widened. 'How did he know? Did Conner tell him?' she thought.

Josiah turned his face away. When he looked back at her, his eyes were red. "Conner is right. I don't deserve you. It's been ten years, and I know nothing about you. What right do I have to keep clinging to you?" Josiah continued.

At that moment, Sienna was speechless.

Josiah glanced at her empty bowl and said, "Finished your soup? I'll get you another—" He reached out, but Sienna stopped him.

"Sienna," he said.

Sienna looked at him gentle, indifferent expression and said with a slight smile, "No need. I'm full." At that moment, she finally understood. She asked, "So this is a farewell meal?"

Josiah shut his eyes tightly, his heart twisting in pain. He nodded and said with difficulty, "Yes. This is the last time. After today, once you walk out that door, I won't bother you again."
