Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance Novel

Chapter 410 As she looked at the car , Sienna instinctively glanced at the license plate number .

It was Josiahs car .

The car stopped , and Josiah stepped out first .

Seeing her took him by surprise , and he hesitated .

He wasnt sure if he should greet her , having promised not to bother her anymore .

With determination , he turned away , walked to the back of the car , and retrieved the wheelchair from the trunk .

He carried it to the steps , pushed it through the entrance , and placed it in the lobby .

After setting it up and securing the four corners , he went back down the steps , returned to the car , opened the passenger door , and leaned in .

Be careful , hold on tight .

Okay .

The next moment , Josiah came out of the car carrying Yvette , walked straight up the steps , and placed her gently and steadily in the wheelchair .

He draped a blanket over her and said , Its windy .

You dont want to catch a cold .

Wait here for me .

Ill go park the car .

Okay .

Yvette nodded with a chuckle .

As Josiah turned to leave , he noticed Siennas slender frame .

The temperature had dropped tonight , and she was only wearing a T shirt .

He wondered if she was cold .

Seeing her hugging herself , he assumed she must be .

But now , he felt he was no longer in a position to care about her .

Josiah looked away , got back into the car , and drove toward the parking lot .

Throughout the entire process , he behaved as though he hadnt noticed Sienna .

Sienna glanced down at the time on her phone .

Cedric was still nowhere to be seen .

Sienna , a voice called out at that moment .

Yvette appeared from the lobby , pushing her wheelchair , and looked up with a smile .

Its been a while .

Yes , it has been , Sienna replied curtly , her brow furrowing slightly .

She wondered why Yvette was here .

They had nothing to discuss .

Yvette wasnt about to let Sienna off the hook .

I saw you with Josiah earlier .

You two barely spoke .

Its like youre strangers now .

After breaking up , youre not even going to remain friends or siblings anymore ? Siennas frown deepened , her expression turning stern .

Youre right , she retorted with a 2 off .

Really ? Yvette didnt seem bothered by Siennas scornful tone .

She raised her eyebrows and said , Well , you probably dont know that Josiah and I are together now .

Sienna froze , and her eyes widened in shock .

You heard right .

Yvette laughed softly at Siennas astonishment .

We both moved out of the Flynn residence .

We live together now .

Siennas lips parted slightly .

She felt a twinge of surprise , but not entirely .

She knew Yvette was always a woman who went after what she wanted without hesitation and that Josiah already had feelings for her .

Yvette raised an eyebrow , a smug look on her face .

Dont you have anything to say ? Sienna couldnt find the words .

But soon , a realization struck her , and she smiled and said , Well , congratulations on getting what you wished for .

Thank you , Yvette responded promptly .

Then , her eyes narrowed , and her voice took on a warning tone .

Sienna , you better keep this up .

From now on , treat Josiah like a stranger .

Dont speak to him at all .

Sienna was surprised , Yvette was already staking her claim , Living together had changed her status and boosted her confidence .

At that moment , Cedric came jogging in from the courtyard entrance .

Sienna .

Sienna looked up as Cedric reached her , still slightly out of breath .

Sorry , the meeting went a bit long .

Have you been waiting long ? No.

Sienna smiled .

You arrived just in time .

Its dinner time .

Come on in .

The weathers changing , and the winds picking up … Okay … Cedric responded .

Ah ! Sienna suddenly exclaimed as a gust of wind blew , causing her to cover her eyes .

1/3 Chapter 410 Whats wrong ? Cedric asked , looking down at her nervously , his hands instinctively reaching out .

I think … Sienna closed her eyes , blinked a few times , and tried to open them , but she couldnt .

I think something got in my eye : Let me take a look , Cedric said after a moment of hesitation .

He reached out and cupped her head with one hand .

Which eye ? The left one , Sienna answered , keeping her right eye open .

I dont know if its sand .

Tears streamed down from her closed left eye .

Hold on … Cedric raised his other hand , gently parting her left eyelid .

Its not sand ; its an eyelash No wonder its so uncomfortable … Sienna reached up to rub her eye .

Dont move .

Cedric grabbed her hand .

You cant see it yourself .

Let me help you … Okay .

Sienna lowered her hand .

Cedric held her head , parting her eyelids and leaning in close to gently blow on her eye .

Is it out ? Sienna asked .

Not yet … almost … just a little bit more … Cedric replied .

Not far away , Josiah emerged from the parking lot and saw Cedric with his back turned to him .

Sienna was nestled in Cedrics arms .

From Josiahs perspective , it looked as though they were kissing .

Josiah , Yvette said , looking up at him .

She saw jealousy and an unwillingness to move on in his eyes .

She thought , Theyve already broken up , so why cant he let her go ? She smiled faintly and continued , Look at them .

They cant even wait to find a private place to kiss .

Theyre not afraid of being seen .

It seems they cant wait a moment longer .

They just cant control themselves , huh ? Josiahs expression grew somber as he swallowed hard and stayed silent .

Sienna and Cedric remained completely unaware .

Got it .

Cedric released his hold .

Do you feel better now ? Sienna blinked , a bright smile gracing her lips .

Much better .

Thank you .

Youre welcome .

Cedric smiled faintly .

Noticing her light clothing , he took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders .

The weathers changed .

You dont want to catch a cold .

Sienna declined , Im fine … Its not cold inside .

You should still be careful .

Cedric wouldnt let her refuse .

What if you catch a cold ? Thank you .

Lets hurry inside , Sienna said .

Okay , Cedric replied .

Sienna wrapped herself in Cedrics jacket , and the two of them walked away , chatting and laughing .

Yvette sighed as she watched them walk away .

Theyre moving really fast , she said enviously .

Then , recalling something , she added , But theyve always liked each other .

They should have been together ages ago , so its not really that fast , is it ? Yeah .

Josiahs expression remained unchanged , and he didnt want to continue the conversation .

Its cold outside .

Lets go in .

As he unlocked the wheelchair and pushed Yvette inside , the image of Sienna and Cedric hugging and kissing flashed through his mind .

His grip tightened around the wheelchair , and his heart ached .

The pain surged , threatening to overwhelm him .

He was the one who had nudged Cedric to go after Sienna .

He wanted them to be happy .

Seeing them together , he should have felt joy , but instead , it pained him .
