Chapter 55
Sienna wondered if too much had happened that night , too thrilling , making her mind a jumble .
She was surprised that inside the bag was a bunch of lollipops .
“ Why are you daydreaming ? ” Josiah gave her a quick look and urged , “ Take one .
”
Sienna nodded .
“ Oh , okay ,” She reached in , picked one up , obediently unwrapped it and handed it to him .
“ Here .
”
Josiah slightly lifted the comers of his lips , showing a hint of a smile .
“ Why are you giving it to me ?
Sienna was confused .
She thought Josiah wanted her to unwrap a lollipop for him .
But now he didn’t want it .
She felt like being tricked
Tsk Seeing her dumbfounded look , Josiah clicked his tongue , freed one hand , and took the lollipop from her .
“ Open your mouth .
”
“ Huh ? ” Caught by surprise , Sienna did open her mouth , though not to comply with him .
Even though she wasn’t complying , Josiah still achieved his goal .
He held the lollipop and placed it into her mouth .
Sienna was full of questions .
She didn’t know what was going on .
“ Ha ha , ” Josiah looked at her and smiled .
For once , they weren’t arguing , no bickering .
When he smiled genuinely , he had a boyish innocence .
He lifted his chin towards her .
“ Well ? How’s it Tastes good ? ”
Sienna was silent for a couple of seconds , swallowed , then nodded blankly , “ Yeah .
”
“ Is it that good ? So much that you can’t even talk ? ” Josiah glanced at her through the rearview mirror , nudging her .
“ Just gonna eat it all by yourself ? There’s plenty more .
Aren’t you gonna offer me one ? ”
Sienna quickly grabbed another , peeled off the wrapper , and held it to his mouth .
“ Here you go .
”
“ Mm , ” Josiah leaned down and took a bine .
The sugary taste spread on his tongue .
He didn’t know what was so good about lollipops and thought .
only young girls would like the sweet taste .
Considering Sienna’s age , she could almost count as a young girl .
It wasn’t surprising that she’d like it .
“ Last time , I threw away your lollipop , Josiah said with a pout .
“ And you got all mad at me .
Look I got you a whole bag of them in all kinds of flavors .
Happy now ! ”
Sienna was so shocked she couldn’t speak .
Seeing her in a daze , Josiah frowned .
“ What ? Don’t like it ?
“ Well , ” Sienna quickly shook her head , “ No , not really , I like in a lot , thanks .
Even though she had no idea why he suddenly acted like this , she wouldn’t dare to say she didn’t like it.
She couldn’t upset Josiah lest he send her back to the police station .
“ Glad to hear you like it , ” Josiah said with satisfaction .
The lollipop slowly melted in his mouth , yet Josiah didn’t notice .
His lips stayed curved – up , showing a hint of a happy smile .
Back at the apartment , Sienna’s phone started ringing .
Actually , it had been ringing in the car .
She didn’t want to answer , so she put it on silent .
But it seemed like her not answering just made him keep calling .
It was quite annoying .
Sienna swiped to answer , “ Hello .
“ Siennal ” The man on the other end sounded worried .
“ Why couldn’t I reach you ? Are you okay ? Did the police give you any troublet ”
Sienna let out a silent , cold laugh .
His concern always came a bit too late .
Tm fine , hanging up-
“ Wait ” “ The man hurried to stop her .
“ Uh , about the money , left in such a rush .
I forgot to give you the card , I’ve got the money ready .
Let’s set up another time so I can give you the card .
”
“ No need ”
“ Sienna ? ” The man was surprised .
“ Are you upset ! ”
Sienna didn’t respond to his question .
She just said what she wanted to “ Til figure out the money on my own .
