Sienna avoided his gaze , mumbling , I can walk by myself .

just follow you .

What ? Josiah raised an eyebrow , smirking coldly .

You dont want me to touch you ? He stepped forward , his jaw tight as he bit out , You think I want to touch you ? If you werent so wishy washy , would I have even grabbed your arm ? I dont have a problem touching you , l it looks like you do .

Sienna looked down , her lashes fluttering slightly , but she didnespond .

Josiah scoffed , a cold laugh escaping him .

He turned and started walking away .

Keep up .

Okay .

Sienna nodded , secretly relieved .

Her reaction had been bit much , but she just couldnt help it.

When his hand had touched hers , it was like a snake slithering on her skin , which made her feel scared and queasy .

Josiah walked ahead , his tall frame putting distance between them .

He glanced back , clearly annoyed .

Can you move a little faster ? Alright , Sienna nodded and started to jog .

Josiah halted , waiting for her , squinting slightly as he pondered , Sienna actually pushed me away .

She used to be all me , but now… Shes indeed changed after those years overseas .

Thats good , exactly what I wanted .

It seems sending her away was the right call .

If she had been this mature back then , I might have been able to see her as a little sister just like how Howard treated her .

They walked in single file , and as they neared the garage .

Josiahs phone rang .

He stopped to take the call .

Sienna paused and stepped aside a bit to give him space .

She couldnt make out what Yvette was saying , but Josiahs expression turned serious .

He urgently replied , Stay there , dont move .

Im coming right away .

He hung up and looked back at Sienna , commanding , Wait for me here .

Then he dashed off .

Hey .

Sienna tried to call out to him but held back .

Honestly , she wanted to tell him she didnt need a ride and he should just go deal with Yvette .

Now that he had asked her to wait , she figured she might as well do that .
