Chapter 40

“Today, Mr. Flynn didn’t show up, and I was a little worried…” Henry waved his hand, clearly agitated. “But look at this! I was worrying for nothing Even though Mr. Flynn didn’t come, he’s still thinking about you”

Is that so? Sienna smiled, but inside, she felt it was quite ridiculous. When she was his wife, he didn’t even care to look at her. Now that she wore a mask, he seemed genuinely intrigued.

Who would have thought that Josiah would develop an interest in a dancer? She couldn’t help but wonder what his reaction would be once he saw the face behind the mask. Disappointment? Or maybe he’d fly into a rage? Either way, it probably wouldn’t be anything good.

It was Monday again, Sienna’s day off. She had contacted Miranda earlier, letting her know she would come over to keep her company, and she would even stay the night. Of course, Miranda was thrilled and didn’t hesitate to agree

Early in the morning, Sienna packed her bag with what she would need for the day and headed over

Miranda had just woken up and was surprised to see Sienna so early, “Sienna, you’re here so carly! You’re young don’t you want to sleep in?”

“I have plenty of time to sleep. This day doesn’t matter to me, Sienna said as she sat down by the bed. Seeing that Miranda was in good spirits, she had thought over her words for several days and decided it was time to speak up.

“Grandma” Stenna took Miranda’s hand gently and said. “I have something to tell you. Please promise me you won’t get emotional, these are all my heartfelt words”

“ON” Seeing her so serious made Miranda smile. “Alright, since these are your heartfelt words, I’m all ears”

“Then I’ll begin.”

“Go ahead”

Sienna’s eyes were slightly reddening. Tm really grateful to you for adopting me all those years ago. If it weren’t for you. I probably wouldn’t have been able to keep dancing, and I might have been forced into the real world too soon.

She barely managed to get the words out before choking up.

“Oh, child.” Miranda couldn’t help but feel moved. To me, you’re just like Howard and Josiah

“You’ve always been so kind to me.” Sienna bit her lip, gathering her courage, “Why don’t you be kind to me just once more?”

“What?” Miranda looked confused, not grasping her meaning. She thought Sienna might be asking for a favor, so the nodded eagerly. “Alright, what is it? Whatever it is, I will definitely agree.

“Then, I need to thank you in advance. Sienna took a deep breath and said. “Please agree to let us get a divorce.”

“What?” Miranda was shocked, staring at her in disbelief. “Sienna, do you know what you’re saying!”

“Yes, I know,” Sienna nodded through her tears. “I used to really like Josiah. I liked him a los… That was the truth, and there was no denying it. “But I don’t like him anymore.”

Behind her, the bathroom door was slightly ajar. Josiah had just stepped out, but upon hearing those words, he stopped dead in his tracks…

“Siennal” Miranda tightened her grip on Sienna’s hand,

“Moreover, Sienna felt a dull ache in her chest as she continued, “you know he doesn’t like me. He never did. The one he likes is Yvette, after all.” Miranda frove, her mouth slightly open as she realized she had no way to counter that. “You… you.” So she had always known!

Sienna cried silently, tears spilling down her cheeks. “I just want to find someone who really likes me, to experience what it’s like to be loved and rared for Please, show the same compassion, and help me out here.”

Trans filled Miranda’s eyes as they began in roll down her cheeks. I failed you, Sienna.”

The fact that her two grandsons had fallen for the same woman was not a secret back in Jelacrity; it had become fodder for gossip among people.

To be honest, back then, Miranda had always hoped for Sienna and Josiah to end up together; part of it was affection for her, but she also had her

own selfish reasons.
