Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 223 He looked at her, his decision firm like a man who had lost everything and was throwing away his last hope.

He was betting that Sienna, deep down, held a place for him in her heart.

He left Sienna with no choice.

She nodded as she stood on her tiptoes.

I will Her soft, warm lips brushed against his lips in a quick, light kiss.

Yet the little spark could ignite a big flame.

Josiah quickly pulled her close, holding her tightly as if he wanted her to becpart of him .

Then, he opened his mouth.

It wasnt just a kiss it was a bite.

Sienna winced and frowned.

Josiah, that hurts Josiah gripped the back of her head, releasing her as he gasped for air.

Seeing her swollen lips made him feel a bit sorry.

He lifted his hand, gently stroking her lips.

Sorry He had lost control.

His forehead pressed against hers, his hands cradling her cheeks, his voice low and a bit threatening.

You kissed me, and now you cant leave? He kissed her again.

1 gave you the chance to leave, but you didnt take it Now, you cant regret it Sienna leaned against him, shaking her head.

I dont want to regret ... Just those words made Josiah feel like he had won far more than he had lost.

His heart, which had been almost withering from disappointment, suddenly blossomed with hope.

His hands caressed her face, supporting her stubbornness.

Alright, since youre sincere, III forgive what happened tonight.

Sienna smiled softly.

Thank you ah ! He suddenly lifted her up, her feet barely touched the ground She clung to his shoulder as he put on a serious face.

Get serious Oh Sienna mimicked his serious expression, still holding onto his shoulder. Josiah raised an eyebrow, feeling pleased.

I let you go but you chose to stay withthis time.

This isnt a case offorcing you to stay: youre choosing to stay withvoluntarily.

Is that right? Sienna could only nod in agreement.

Josials mood lifted even more.

To be honest, you were not entirely being forced to stay with me, right? He thought, she had such a perfect chance tonight why wouldnt she leave? She must have feelings for me.

But maybe her feelings arent strong enough: even her roommate could take her away from me! Wait.

I Im a man why should I be petty with my own girlfriend? Sienna, he said, holding her up as he looked into her eyes.

Ill make you loveeven more.

Will you believe me? Josiahs eyes were clear, as if he could see right into her soul.

Sienna felt a moment of panic but managed to smile.

Ill wait and see.

Not quite an answer, but a response nonetheless.

They shared a night full of passion.

The next day, Sienna woke up around eleven oclock.

She pushed off Josiahs arm around her waist and got out of bed to take a shower.

When she cout, Josiah was already awake.

As she brushed her hair in front of the mirror, he cout of the bathroom after his shower.

Oh, I almost forgot, he said, going out to get something Sienna was puzzled.

Josiah went to the garage : he had left a gift for her in the car the day before when he was angry.

He cback with a small box in his hand and placed it on the dresser in front of Sienna Open it and take a look , he said.

What is it Sienna put down the brush and opened the box.

Inside was a watch; it looked familiar, like she had seen it somewhere before.

Isnt it familiar? Josiah smiled as he took the watch out of the box and put it on Siennas wrist.

Mm, it suits you perfectly.

Your wrists are slim, the strap is just the right length, and your skin really makes it pop Although she received the compliment, Sienna frowned, not wanting to accept it.

Its too expensive.

1/2 9:39 PM d Chapter 223 Too expensive! Its just a watch, Josiah said nonchalantly.

Its a pair with mine Sienna realized that Josiahs watch was similar to this one but larger; it it was a mens s watch Josiah smiled and said, I didnt expect it to be made so soon, but since they had mine as a template, they just had to copy it exactly? watches in the world.

They got the only two identical custom made Patek Philippe w Suddenly.

Sienna felt like the watch was too much to handle.

Maybe I should just put it away.

Its so valuable if it gets scratched or lost, wouldnt that be such a waste! Im not worried, Josiah said, pressing her hand down to stop her from moving.

If it gets scratched or damaged, it can be fixed.

As for losing it? Thats impossible.

Every watch has its own serial number, just like DNA.

As long as the numbers there, it cant be lost.

Just wear it.

He lifted her hand and brought it to her ear, smiling as he looked at her.

Listen to that wearing the swatch means were always together.

Siennas heart skipped a beat.

How sweet those words! They finished getting ready and went downstairs to eat breakfast together.

While eating breakfast, Josiah received a call from Miranda .

Yes, okay... I remember, he said.

Then he hung up the phone and looked at Siennas plate.

He took the this afternoon.

Howards marriage needs to be discussed, he told her Im going with you, Sienna replied.

g yolk i that she hadnt eaten and ate it himself.

Instead, he explained that they needed to stop by the hospital first because Mirandas medication was almost finished, and he needed to pick up smore. So, they went to the hospital first.

The car stopped in the parking lot, and Josiah asked, Are you coming withNo.

Sienna replied firmly, shaking her head.

Joyce was at that hospital, too.

She couldnt see them together.

Sierma added, III wait for you in the car Alright, Josiah said.

Tll be quick After closing the car door, Josiah quickly headed to the pharmacy. Everything was ready there, so he just grabbed the medicine and was about to leave. Holding the bag, he walked through the busy, noisy lobby.

She jumped off Tara and ran straight to Josiah .
