Chapter 312 Sienna was slightly taken aback.

She thought, Has he cto terms with it? Although she was puzzled by the sudden shift in his attitude, this outcwas precisely what she had hoped for.

Alright Sienna smiled faintly.

Take care, Im leaving now, You too... Cedric nodded slightly, got out of the car, and walked around to open the door for her.

They looked into each others eyes and shared a smile.

Sienna waved at him and said, Tm going in.

Its snowing, so drive carefully.

I will.

You go ahead and get inside.

III leave once I see you safely in, Cedric replied.

Okay, Sienna said and walked inside.

The moment she turned away, Cedrics smile vanished.

His eyes were filled with an unwavering affection.

Watching her retreating figure, he murmured sofily, Sienna, III wait for you.

He understood Siennas predicament.

From her perspective, her rejection of him was completely understandable.

As a mother, she naturally had to rally had to prioritize her daughter.

He couldnt and wouldnt compete with Joyer So, all he could do was wait.

Wait until the day Joyce was safe and sound.

Until then, he wouldnt put any pressure on Sienna.

a His waiting was a voluntary act, unrelated to her.

Perhaps, when Joyce recovered, Sienna and Josiah wouldnt end up together .

That would be his chance.

If, against all hopes, Sienna and Josiah did end up together, he wouldnt regret it.

Cedric smiled, raised his hand, and caught a falling snowflake, saying, This is the hope I give myself.

After all, there was still hope.

Back at the apartment, Joyce had already taken a bath and fallen asleep.

Tara was still bustling about.

Sienna noticed the large kitchen table was filled with various items differem ingredients, snacks, and red stuff .

Whats this? Sienna picked up one item, not recognizing it.

These are ribbons for the windows, Tara said with a smile.

Dont you know! Havent you ever put them up ? c.7 Upon her explanation, Sienna recognized them, saying, I do know, but its been a long tsince I last put them up.

When she was little, she and her grandmother would put them up every year.

Later, when she moved in with the Flynn family, such tasks were no longer her concern.

The household staff would take care of it And then, when she moved to Fliraty, there were quite a few people from her hcountry in Fliraty, but she was on a tight budget, saving wherever she could while taking care of Joyce Sienna rolled up her sleeves and said, Letput them up.

Sure, Tara replied.

Sienna opened the packaging and remarked, The New Year is coming.

Treally flies Isnt it? Once you grow up, tseems to speed up.

Tara responded.

Sienna walked over to the window, lifted the curtain, and stuck the ribbons on the window, carefully smoothing it out.

She murmured, It looks really nice As she let the curtain drop, her gaze paused, and she quickly lifted the curtain again to take a closer look.

Downstairs, there was a black Bentley parked.

It was a bit far to see the license plate clearly.

She thought, V Who o else can it be, with that kind of car parked here ! Has Josiah c! Sienna frowned and quickly closed the curtain.

However, none of the things she worried about happened.

Her phone remained silent, with no calls or messages.

The doorbell didnt ring either.

The whole night was calm and peaceful 7.29 in AM C Chapter 312 When she got ready for bed.

Sienna couldnt help but doubt whether she had seen wrong, or perhaps it wasnt Josiah after all.

The next morning, when Sienna woke up, Joyce was still asleep .

Not wanting to wake her daughter, she got up first .

While washing up, she heard knock on the door.

Tara went to open it and said.

Who is it? So early.

Then she exclaimed in surprise, Mr.

Flynn, its you.

Yes Josiah stood at the door, holding a bag with the logo of Seasonal Rakery.

He smiled faintly and said.

As promised to Joyce yesterday.

All Tara was surprised.

She thought.

When did this happen? Uncle, uncle ! A small figure suddenly ran out of the room and rushed to the door, Josiah bent down and with one arm, he scooped Joyce up.

Good morning, Joyce, he said, raising the bag in his hand.

I brought you smuffins, Josiah said.

Wow ! Joyces eyes and mouth curved into a smile, saying, Thank you, Uncle Josiah Tara was both amused and exasperated.

It really happened.

She said, Joyce, did you sneak my phone to call Mr.

Flynn yesterday? I didnt sneak, Joyce said with a serious little face.

Joyce missed him.

Uncle Josiah said if I miss him, I can find him As she spoke, she hugged Josiahs neck for confirmation, saying Right? Thats right.

Josiah nodded with a smile, handing the bag to Tara, saying, Joyce said she wanted muffins, so I got sfrom Seasonal Bakery Oh my, Tara said and quickly took it.

Muffins from Seasonal Bakery, the best in Jeiacrity.

She turned around just as Sienna cout after finishing her wash.

Tara smiled and said, Sienna, Mr.

Flynn is here.

Tara already knew they had met before.

Of course, she knew nothing else.

Mm hmm.

Sienna gave Josiah a faint smile and said, Good morning Good morning Josiah looked at her, remembering his promise, tried to put Joyce down, and said, Joyce, I have to go now, Have a good breakfast with mom.

No way! Joyce held onto his neck and said, Uncle, stay! Stay ! Josiah hesitated and looked at Sienna Joyce, Sienna frowned slightly and said, Uncle Josiah is busy.

He doesnt have time.

* Uncle Joyce looked at Josiah with hopeful eyes and said.

No t?! Cant you have breakfast with Joyce ! Josiah thought, How can I bear to refuse my daughters coquetry ? Joyce.

Seeing the situation was not good, Sienna added, He doesnt like our hcooked meals ? Really? Joyce asked Sienna had no idea, and Tara cover to join the conversation.

Mr.

Flynn, Ive prepared pumpkin soup, pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, cereal, toast with butter... Do you like any of these! If not, its okay. We have muffins from Seasonal Bakery, right? Tara asked Sienna was at a loss.

None of her teammates were cooperating.

Josials chuckled and said, I can eat anything.

Its just that... He didnt finish his sentence and looked at Sienna again.

Sienna ? Tara understood and chimed in, Mr.

Flynn has helped Joyce a lot, and they really hit it off.

Logically, it was the right thing to do.

Si Sienna couldnt explain, so she reluctantly said, Please cin!... Great Josiah was delighted, subtly raising t the comers of his mouth. 2/3 Chapter 312 Uncle, over there ! Joyce waved her short arm, directing him.

In return, she put one in his bowl.

Yes, is there a problem ? Tara responded.
