He chuckled and tapped Joyces pert little nose .

I love you the most , too , you little charmer : Joyce might be young , but she was an expert at ti tugging peoples heartstrings .

Soon , they had settled into the inpatient building , Joyce didnt require IV drips anymore and was mainly on oral medication and required monitoring , Which meant having one adult by her side was more than enough .

At first , Sienna protested , Its okay .

I I can manage on my own .

Im used to taking care of her by myself But Josiah insisted .

Thats in the past now when I hadnt known about Joyce … Its different now .

But … Sienna frowned , still hesitant , Arent you busy ? Although Josiah didnt mention is , it was obvious that he must be occupied with all sorts of matters since he had only been acknowledged by the Evans family recently .

He had returned to the Evans family because of Joyce .

I am , Josiah replied curtly .

He lowered his gaze to look at Sienna and whispered , I know how to handle those matters .

But Joyce is the most important thing to me now .
