Caught In His Embrace A Second Chance Romance novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96

“ What are you doing ? ” Sienna asked , her back turned to him .

She had no idea what stage he was at .

“ Did you take it off yet ! ”

Josiah snapped back to reality , narrowing his eyes slightly to mask the cold glint in them .

Sienna meant well , after all .

Besides , her back was to him , so she shouldn’t see his scars .

He raised his arm and peeled off his damp shirt .

“ Yeah , I did .”

“ Here ” Still facing away

from him , Sienna tossed a man’s shirt over her shoulder .

“ Put this on for now

“ What’s this ? ” Josiah instinctively bristled .

Men were naturally sensitive about such things .

Without even unfolding it , he could tell it was a man’s

shirt .

‘ How does she have a men’s shirt he thought ,

“ It’s a men’s shirt , Sienna replied casually as if it was nothing .

It should fit you .”

She had deliberately bought an oversized one

Without waiting for a response , she picked up his wet shirt .

“ I don’t have a dryer here , so I day .

Is that okay

“ Whatever .

Josiah wasn’t in the mood to care about that right now .

“ Alright , hold on .

Sienna turned and headed to the balcony .

–

Wait a second .

” Josiah , still shirtless , followed her .

rinse it and hang it up .

I’ll get it back to your another

The washing machine was on the balcony .

Sienna tossed his shirt in and began gathering the clothes she had washed earlier in the morning

As soon as Josiah stepped onto the balcony , his face darkened completely .

“ Sienna ! ”

His sudden growl caught her off guard .

She turned to see his face filled with anger and confusion .

What’s his problem now ? she wondered , baffled .

“ Why doesn’t he wear the shirt ! Is he planning to stay shirtless like this forever ? she thought .

Standing tall , Josiah reached up with ease and yanked something off the drying rack .

Holding it out to her , he said , “ What is this ? ”

“ That ” Sienna froze for a moment , then became a little embarrassed .

“ You’re a man .

Don’t you recognize ii ? ”

“ Huh ? ” He recognized it all too well .

And that was precisely why he was so furious .

There , hanging on her balcony , were men’s items , shirts , underwear ..

“ Whose are these ? ” Josiah’s voice was cold and sharp as his gaze locked onto her , radiating an icy chill “ What man’s clothes are these ? ”

He shook the shirt in frustration before crumpling it into a ball and tossing it to the floor .

“ Some random guy’s clothes , and you expect me to wear

them ! ”

“ Hey ! ” Sienna snapped , bending down to pick up the shirt .

Seeing this , Josiah became even angrier .

“ Sienna , don’t pick it upr

“I will ! ” Sienna glared at him , seething : “ I bought this with my own money .

I washed it clean .

What’s the big deal ? Is it too cheap to be worthy of you , Josiah ? ”

She had already picked up the shirt and was parting off the dust ,

“ You bought it ?” Josiah’s thoughts were on an entirely different track .

He suddenly grabbed her wrist .

“ What kind of jerk makes you spend your money on him ! ” he roared .

Their commotion must have been loud because the neighbors started complaining .

“ What’s with the late – night fighting , you lovebirds ? ” one voice

“ Yeah , some of us are trying to sleep here ! ” another chimed in .

Sienna hurried to apologize .

“ I’m so sorry , everyone ! Won’t happen again .” She turned to head inside .

“ Sienna … ” Josiah began , will fuming

“ Shut up ,” she snapped , cutting him off.

“ Do you want my neighbors to call the cops on us? She lowered her voice and continued , her patience clearly wearing thin .

“ What man !

“ There is no man .

I’m a single woman living alone .

Don’t you think I need some son of safety precautions ? ”

Hanging men’s clothes on the balcony was a common trick , something many single women did to deter thieves and burglars scouting for easy targets .

It wasn’t anything new , and it wasn’t a big deal .

Lots of women used the same tactic .

Josiah froze in place , blinking rapidly as a hint of sheepish clarity dawned on his face , “ Is that what this is about ? he thought .

It hit him all at once .

He had misunderstood her .

What is wrong with me ? I should’ve figured it out if I’d taken a second to think .

Instead , I just lashed out at Sienna without reason , he wondered
