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 me ? 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 , Ill 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 with me this time .

This isnt a case of me forcing you to stay : youre choosing to stay with me voluntarily .

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 .

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 came out , Josiah was already awake .

As she brushed her hair in front of the mirror , he came out 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 came back 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 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 .

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 .
