I know .

But why isnt she coming up ? Josiah replied , frowning .

Wette hesitated , a hint of discomfort crossing her face .

I think it might be because of me .

Maybe she doesnt want to see me? We had a little argument a few days ago .

An argument ? Josiahs expression darkened , and he smirked , So what right does she have to avoid you ? Shes just too embarrassed to face you .

Alright , Yvette said , her expression slightly awkward as she tried to soothe him .

How long has it been since then ? I was just stressed that day .

Cant we just move on ? Move on ? Josiah scoffed , a slight sneer on his lips .

Did she just make a small mistake ? Thats something I can never forgive .

How can we just forget about it ? Josiah … Yvette called out , wanting to reason with him .

Josiah cut her off .

Dont say anything more .

You can forgive her because you have a soft heart .

But for me , I lost my nephew or niece I can never forgive that .

Otherwise , how could he face Howard and the Flynn family ? Yvette looked up at him , choosing to hold her tongue .

Suddenly remembering something , she asked , By the way , last time you mentioned signing the divorce agreement , so now you guys There was a slight issue .

Well take care of it later , Josiah replied casually .

Just then , the elevator doors paused and opened .

Josiah stepped out , looked down at her , and said , Grandma doesnt know about this yet .

Shes really stubborn .

Please keep it a secret for now .

Okay , Yvette smiled gently and nodded .

After a moments hesitation , she asked again , Did something go wrong , and its fallen through ? Yeah Josiah paused briefly before he spoke vaguely .

I had something unexpected come up .

Lets go .

He turned around and led the way .

I see , Yvette followed a few steps behind , watching his tall figure A wave of emotion washed over her , leaving her deep in thought .

Neither Yvette nor I could manage that Times up .

The surgery would take about five hours , and the family could wait in the VIP lounge .

As noon approached , Yvette checked the time and asked Josiah , Hey , what do you want to eat ? Ill order for us , You decide .

Im good with anything , Josiah replied just as his phone rang a work call .

I have to take this outside for a while Hence , the lounge was left with just Yvette and Sienna.

Yvette smiled and turned to Sienna .

What about you ? Sienna paused for a moment , then shook her head No need .

22:23 Sal , Jan 4 Chapter 25 and walked out of the door ..

Watching her leave , Yvette smirked a little .

You dont want anyhats fine by me .

I wasnt really keen on eating with you either .

She then signaled Janet , Could you order something ? You know what Josiah likes , right ? Yeah , I got it .

Dont worry , Janet replied and then went to place the order .

By the time Josiah finished his call and returned , the food had just arrived .

Yvette waved with a smile : Come on , sit down .

These are all your favorites .

Eat while its hot .

Okay .

Josiah put away his phone , pulled out a chair , and sat down .

Just as he was about to dig in , he noticed something and asked , Wheres Sienna ? She went out and said no need , Yvette said casually .

No need Josiah chuckled sarcastically .

Shes always saying that , she might as well patent the phrase , he thought , setting down his plate and trying to get up .

Where are you going ? Yvette quickly stopped him .

Ask her to join us for dinner , Josiah replied .

Forget it .

Yvette laughed and shook her head .

I think she really means it .

Remember what she studied ? Dance .

Dieting is pretty important for her .

Dieting ? Josiah raised an eyebrow in doubt .

Sienna hadnt been back long , but he had seen her cat and she definitely had a big appetite .

You dont know her like I do .

She can eat , Josiah smiled , pulled out a chair , and left .

Instantly , Yvettes face darkened .
