Chapter 73
Sienna was stunned , not sure what Miranda meant .
“ Grandma , ” Sienna swallowed hard and asked uncertainly , “ What kind of ‘ like’do you mean ? ”
“ Oh .
Sienna ” Miranda set down her soup bowl with a smile .
“What other kind of like’is there ! Of course , it’s the kind between a man and a woman .
Then she added , “I mean , did you like him the way you used to like Josiah ? ”
Sienna was a bit confused , “ Grandma , why do you ask ? ” She thought Miranda might misunderstand something because Cedric brought her home .
She laughed and shook her head .
“ There’s nothing between us .
We just bumped into each other on the way , and he kindly offered to give me a lift , that’s all ”
“ More than that , right ? Miranda pointed out .
“ At your birthday party , didn’t you both chat and laugh a lot ! 1 think you two really hit it off .
“ Grandma .
” Sienna was both amused and frustrated .
“ What are you talking about ? There’s nothing going
Miranda assumed Sienna was just being shy , so she toned down her expression .
“ I think he’s a good guy and he seems interested in you .
Be honest with me , do you like him even a little bit ? ”
“ What ?” Sienna couldn’t even maister a laugh this time .
Miranda didn’t seem to be joking , and there was a lot of meaning in her words .
Sienna frowned slightly : “ Grandma .
I don’t quite understand what you mean ”
Miranda sighed as she dabbed the corner of her mouth with a napkin .
Her eyes were filled with deep affection for Sienna .
“ I just want to find you a good match , dear .
Cedric’s a decent guy who comes from a good family .
“ But most importantly , it’s about whether you like him .
”
“ Grandma ! ” Sienna was shocked , her face turning pale .
She shook her head repeatedly .
“ Quit joking around .
How could that even be possible ? ” She had never thought about being with Cedric She didn’t think of herself as a good match for him .
“ Who said I’m joking ?” Miranda frowned .
“ I would never joke about your future .
I’m seriously considering this for you ?
“ Grandma ,” Sienna was at a loss for words .
She found it ridiculous for her to be with Cedric
“ I know ” Miranda waved her hand dismissively , “ You’re just thinking you’re not good enough , right ? ”
‘ That’s the truth , Sienna thought silently .
“ Don’t worry .” Miranda said , unconcerned , “ As long as you like him , you’re more than good enough .
As an adopted member of our family , who would dare look down on you ? ”
As she continued , her eyes turned red , “ It’s the Flynn family that owes you .
I just need to see you settled and happy before I can relax .“
“ Grandma , ” Sienna felt overwhelmed .
“ I really don’t need
“ You do .
Miranda was very stubborn , insisting , “ Last time you chose someone yourself , and Josiah told me how it went .
That’s on me .
This time , I’ll personally select a good match for you .
”
Sienna was speechless , unsure what to say .
Whatever Miranda thought , it didn’t matter .
There was absolutely nothing between her and Cedric , and there never would be .
“ I’ve got my own plans for this , Miranda assured her .
“ I’m just letting you know so you won’t worry ,” Miranda stood up .
“ It’s late .
I’m going back to
my room
“ Til walk with you back , Sienna said , standing up and taking Miranda’s arm .
At that moment , Josiah came over carrying a tray with a bowl of soup .
“ It took you that long to get a bowl of soup ? ” Miranda gave Josiah an annoyed look and released Sienna “ No need for you to see me off .
Drink your soup and be good .”
“ Okay , Grandma “
“ Good girl ” Miranda chuckled and turned to go upstairs .
Meanwhile , Josiah set down the tray without looking at Sienna .
“ Drink up .”
“ Okay , ” Now alone with him .
