Chapter 67
“ Hmm , ” On hearing about the birthday party , Josiah nodded but then paused , a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes .
“ Grandma , what did you just say ! A good match ! ”
Miranda gave him a sharp look and said with a bit of annoyance , “ Don’t you know what a match means ?”
Of course , he knew .
Precisely because he knew , Josiah felt a bit restless “ Grandma , please don’t be like that , He thought Miranda must be joking .
She had actually thought about throwing a party for Sienna to draw eligible bachelors .
“ Grandma , ” Josiah rubbed his forehead .
“ Everyone in Jeiacrity knows about her and my relationship ”
“ Who can you blame for that ? ” Miranda smirked .
“ If you were willing to be with her properly , would I be this worried ? ”
Tut , Grandma- ”
“ Stop talking , ” Miranda said firmly .
“ I’ve made up my mind .
I’m handling this matter , or else , if she’s left to her own choices , she might find another .
old man .” Miranda shook her head .
This must not happen again ! Josiah ”
She looked at Josiah and sighed , “ You’re the one who left her .
You let her down , and so did I.
If I don’t see her happily settled , I won’t rest in peace .
” “ Grandma- “ Josiah was at a loss for words , completely helpless .
He had no choice but to agree with Miranda , “ Alright , let’s do it your way ” “ Okay , ” Miranda was satisfied and reminded him , “ Yvette is not here , so I’m leaving this to you .
When the time comes , make sure to invite all the good young men from Jelacrity .
”
“ Alright , ” Josiah nodded , the word almost stuck in his throat
“ Oh , and ” Miranda added .
“ Don’t let Sienna know about this for now .
We’ll tell her once I find a suitable candidate ”
Sienna’s situation made it challenging to find someone suitable .
In the circle of high society in Jelacrity , there were always reservations .
If nothing came through temporarily , she’d be afraid Sienna would be upset
However , suggesting Miranda lower her standards and settle for someone from a normal family was not agreeable to Miranda .
She cherished Sienna so much .
Sienna was fit to be her granddaughter – in- law .
So she wouldn’t allow Sienna to marry just anyone .
Sienna must marry well .
Even if it meant marrying again , it needed to be a step up
Leaving the study , Josiah turned to head back to his room .
By now , it was too late , and he didn’t feel like returning to the Silver Beach , so he decided to spend the night here .
But as he passed by Sienna’s bedroom , he stopped .
Sienna came to the family at fifteen , and of course , she had her room in the house .
Even after marrying him and spending years abroad , Miranda made sure her room was kept just as it was .
At this moment , the room door was firmly closed .
Josiah squinted , thinking to himself , “ What’s she up to now
Suddenly , the door opened .
Their eyes met , and Josiah felt a bit awkward and looked away .
Josiah , Sienna sudde
suddenly called out to him
He frowned and instinctively blurted out , “ What did you just call me ? ”
“ What ?” Sienna looked surprised and repeated , “ Josiah ,”
heard her and furrowed his eyebrows even more .
Only then did he realize that was how she was addressing him .
“ What’s wrong ? ”
Sienna didn’t know what went wrong , but she noticed the man seemed upset again .
Josiah couldn’t quite explain it , only that he remembered she never used to call him that .
She used to call him “ Mr.
Flynn “ , then just “ Josiah , Hardly anyone ever used his full name .
Using the full name usually suggested formality or distance .
It seemed like ever since he came back , that was bow it’d been .
He found it somehow very odd .
Josiah felt uneasy , but couldn’t quite explain why .
His tone wasn’t very pleasant as he asked .
“ What do you need from me ? ”
