Even though she retumed with him , it didnt mean everything was resolved Josiahs arm stiffened slightly around her .

Not for now ! How long would that bel I dont know .

I cant answer something Im not even sure about myself Sienna shook her head .

Deep down , she thought that if she was pregnant right now , then for now might as well mean forever .

As Josiah remained silem .

Sienna raised her voice .

You dont agree ? She wasnt afraid of his disagreement because she thought he still needed her for Yvette .

Sure enough , after a long silence .

Josiah surrendered .

Alright But just as the words left his mouth , he held her even tighter .

Sienna felt confused .

Before she could react , Josiah whispered in her car , Ill do whatever you want .

Goodnight , he said , then turned over so they were back to back .

What does he mean by that I thought we were just in care about my feelings ? Isnt that a bit much ? I dont even mind that he still likes Yvette n this together .

Why does he suddenly Eventually .

Sienna was too exhausted to stay awake and finally fell asleep .

In a daze , it seemed like Josiah got up several times to replace the ice parks , give her some water , and even change her sweat soaked pajamas once .

As dawn approached , things finally quieted down , and Sienna fell into a deeper sleep .

When she opened her eyes again , still a bit dazed , she realized she was all alone in the room .

She was awakened by her phones ringtone .

It was Joyce calling from Taras phone .

Hello , Joyce , Sienna said , her voice soft .

Mommy .

Joyce called sweetly .

Yesterday you left without saying goodbye .

When I got home , you werent there .

Are you angry ! Just a tiny bit .

Mommy , are you feeling better ? Is your work too exhausting ? Siennas heart swelled with warmth and love .

Joyce was her little angel , and no matter how difficult Josiah could be , she would handle anything for her .

Joyce , dont worry .

Im doing just fine .

After finishing the call with Joyce , Sienna glanced at the clock and realized it was almost noon .

Feeling refreshed and without any discomfort , she threw off the covers and got out of bed .

She walked over to the window and pulled back the curtains .

Sunlight burst in , making her eyes sting .

She squinted and raised her hand to shield them .

Just then , Josiah walked in and called , Sienna Sienna turned around , bewildered as the watched him stride over , brimming with anger .

Cant you take good care of yourself ? Josiah closed the gap in a few quick steps , wrapped an arm around her waist , and lifted her as if she were a child .

Whats the matter ? Sienna asked , completely puzzled .

Whys s he so angry all of a sudden ? Youre asking met red lier on the bed .

Wait right here .

He turned and dashed into the coatroom .

Moments later , be returned with a pair of socks and crouched at her feet .

He held her ankle , stretched the socks open , and gently pulled them onto her feet .

Siennas feet were as delicate as she was , but her toes were round .

The toenails were neatly trimmed to match their shape , with no polish , revealing their natural pink color, looking quite cute .

After putting on her socks , Josiah hesitated to let go .

His earlier annoyance about her bare feet on the floor had almost completely faded .

1/2 U Chapter 184 He spoke again .

His tone was still somewhat scolding .

I but gentler this time .

You just got over a fever .

You shouldnt be walking around barefoot Sienna blinked .

Huh ? Its indoors , alright ? Outside , its snowing heavily , but here , we have a 24 hour fresh air system .

Plus , the hardwood floors are carpeted .

Its not cold at all : its actually pretty warm ! Moreover , remember when you ended up in the hospital with stomach cramps during your period? Dont step on the cold floor barefoot anymore .

Even when Im not around , you need to be cautious , Josiah said , cradling her feet in his hands to warm them up .

Whats he doing ? Sienna felt a bit panicked .

She couldnt help but remember his words from last night about forgetting Cedric , not to mention how he stayed up all night , getting up several times to check on her .

Whats up with him ? Why is he acting like this ? Is he afraid that Ill change my mind and decide not to stay with him , letting Yvette down ? Yeah , thats got to be it she thought , struggling to come up with any other explanation .

Figuring she had understood .

Sienna relaxed .

She pulled her feet from his hands and said nonchalantly .

I get it .

You dont have to nag Josiah stood up and gently smoothed her slightly messy hair .

Hungry ? Want something to eat ? Yeah .

Sienna nodded .

She started to feel a bit hungry .

Great .

If youre thinking about food , it means youre getting better .

Josiah breathed a sigh of relief , feeling a bit proud of himself .

Good thing I brought you back .

The fever went down overnight .

After a pause , he added , Ill have someone get the meal ready and bring it up here .

You can eat in the room , okay ? No Sienna frowned .

I dont want the room smelling like food .

Josiah raised an eyebrow at her high standards .

He bent down and picked her up .

Tll carry you downstairs .

You havent eaten for long , and you wont have the strength to walk .

Once downstairs , the hourly servant had already set the dining table .

Looking at the feast laid out , Sienna pressed her lips together , deciding to make an exception today and eat a bit more than usual , Josiah noticed her subtle expressions .

He picked up a crab cake and placed it on her plate .

Go ahead and eat .

Once youre healthy again , you can worry about your figure .

Youve skipped enough meals ; indulging just this once wont make you gain weight .

Alright .

Sienna was convinced and picked up her fork .

Josiah watched her with a warm smile when his phone rang .

It was Zach calling .

He picked up the call and stepped aside , saying Yeah , its me .

Go abrad … It was about work .

Siennas fever had just broken that morning , and Josiah didnt feel right leaving her , so he hadnt gone to the office .

Zach kept in touch with him while handling what he could .

For things he couldnt handle , hed consult Josiah for advice .

The phone call was dragging on longer than expected .

Sienna had already finished her meal , but he was still on the line .

She hesitated , glancing down at her feet , only clad in socks he had carried her down without shoes .

Just then , her phone rang .

Hey , Rosie , she said as she picked up the call Rosie asked with concern , Are you alright ? Is he treating you okay ? Yeah , and my f my fevers gone , Sienna replied Thats a relief , Rosie said and then sighed .
