Chapter 44
“ Ouch ! ” Sienna cried out in pain and had to stop reluctantly .
She took a deep breath , trying to remain calm .
“ Why did you come here ? Is there something you need ? ”
Josiah let out a quiet sneer and didn’t bother to answer her question .
He pointed to the door in front of him .
“ Open in
Sienna blinked , wondering , “ What ? Is he planning to go in ?
But she wasn’t having it .
“ Just say whatever it is right here … ”
“ Open it ! ” Josiah’s patience snapped , and he suddenly growled , glaring at her .
“ Do I really have to say it a third time ? ”
Seeing the anger on his face , Sienna paused .
It was not wise to argue now .
She pulled out the key and unlocked the door .
Josiah entered before her .
“ It’s so dark .
No lights in the hallway or the house ? ”
Before his anger could rage any further , Sienna rushed in and turned on the main light .
Finally , they could see clearly
This place was too small .
Sienna didn’t mind when she was alone , but with Josiah’s tall and imposing presence , it felt cramped .
Josiah didn’t say a word as he looked around .
It was a one – bedroom , one – bathroom apartment with an open kitchen .
They called it a one – bedroom , but actually , the living room and bedroom were connected , and the kitchen was just a nook by the entrance .
Only the bathroom was separate .
He thought , “ Was this supposed to be an apartment ? It wasn’t even as big as a single bedroom at the Silver Beach .
The only advantage was that it was clean and tidy However , no matter how spotless and organized it was , to Josiah , this shabby place was still an cyesore .
He spun around qui
quickly , his eyes fixing on Sienna , his face dark and stormy .
“ Tell me , What do you mean by this ? ”
Sienna was a bit taken aback , not quite understanding his question .
“ Haven’t you seen it ? I live here ..
“ Nonsense ! ” Josiah’s face was chillingly indifferent .
I’m asking you .
Why are you living here ? ”
Sienna held back the urge to roll her eyes and replied sarcastically , “ Obviously , because this is the only place I can afford .
”
“ That’s absurd ! ” Josiah retorted instantly .
“ Didn’t I provide you with a place ? Didn’t I give you alimony ? Are you saying you have nowhere to live or
“ That’s your money and you
your house .
It has nothing to do with me ,” Sienna countered without hesitation .
Josiah was taken aback .
“ What did you say ? ”
“ Humph .
” Sienna curved her lips into a faint smile .
“ When we signed the divorce agreement , I told you that I wouldn’t take anything from the Flynn family .
I’m serious .
”
Even when she was on her deathbed , she didn’t take a penny from him .
Now that she was alive , she would no longer need it
Josiah suddenly recalled .
Gilbert had mentioned that she still hadn’t gone to the law firm to handle the transfer procedures specified in the
agreemeni
Josiah asked , “ What … are you thinking ? ” “ Is she serious ? Is this just another trick ? ‘ he thought .
“ It’s simple .
Because of the height difference , Sienna had to tilt her head to look at him , a slight smile on her lips .
“ On your own ? ” Josiah couldn’t help but let out a low , mocking laugh , waving his hand .
Just like that ! Living in this slum ? ”
Sienna gave a slight nug on her lips .
“ To you , yes , this is a slum ”
But not to her .
In Flirty , al
she lived in conditions worse than this and even used to sleep on the streets ….
“ Enough ” Josiah was tired of the argument , waving his hand .
“ Pack your things and come with me now ?
Sienna was shocked and thought it was ridiculous .
“ Come with you ! This is my home .
I’m not leaving ”

Chapter 44
“ Siennal ” Josiah stared deeply at her .
Ever since she returned , the thing she did most was to reject him .
“ Do you think I like dealing with you ! I’m doing it for Grandma , ” said Josiah .
Hearing that , Sienna remembered , Miranda said that Josiah was supposed to treat her like a sister .
Only if she was doing well could he divorce her successfully .
Knowing she understood , Josiah urged again , “ Come on .
Hurry up and pack .
”
“ No need ” Yet , Sienna still refused .
“ Sienna “ ” Josiah was almost out of patience .
“ What do you really want ? ”
Sienna let out a long , helpless sigh
She looked at him calmly and spoke softly .
“ Didn’s Grandma say you should see me living well ? Then just watch me hive happily and let me handle it myself , okay ?”
“ Yourself Josiah sneered at her .
“ Don’t be ridiculous .
Ever since you were licen … ”
“ That was in the past Knowing what he was about to say , Sienna coldly interrupted him .
I’m thankful to the Flynn family and Grandma for their kindness , but please rest assured , I can support myself now .
Im not the same burden I used to be ”
“ Burden ? ” Josiah was stung by the word , frowning with displeasure , Did I ever say that about you ? ”
‘ Didn’t he ? From his high position , stepping on an ant is nothing to him , thought Sienna .
Sienna felt a chill in her heart but didn’t want to argue , only stood her ground .
“I’m perfecily comfortable living here , and I won’t move
“ Sienna ” But Josiah wasn’t going to just let her go like that .
“ Do you even know where you are ? 12th Avenue isn’t a place for a girl to live alone .
The people here are just too complicated .
”
Complicated ? Well , that isn’t wrong .
Considering I’m a dancer at Mare , I am also seen as complicated too , Sienna
“ It’s no big deal , Sienna shrugged casually .
I just close my door and live my life without interacting with others .
”
Josiah was at a loss , surprised by her stubbornness
“ It’s getting late .
” Sienna walked to the door and opened it .
“ I need to rest , and you should leave now
That was clearly a request to leave .
Josiah could do nothing about it , as he couldn’t exactly knock her out and take her away
“Mr.
Flynn ? ” Sienna reminded him again , pointing to the door .
“ You should go ,”
Josiah took a deep breath and stepped forward .
As he crossed the doorway , he still wasn’t ready to give up .
“ Sienna , you …
“I’m fine .
” Sienna gave him a faint smile , truly relaxed .
“ Don’t worry about Grandma .
Since she’s already eased up , I’ll continue to talk her out of it .
I believe you won’t have to wait much longer ”
Josiah was taken aback , thinking , “ Is that really what concerned me ? He wanted to argue, but that was exactly what mattered to him .
“ Go on .
It’s really late , Sienna smiled at him .
“Be careful on your way home !
Then , she slowly closed the door .
Josiah stood outside the door , and suddenly , everything went completely black .
What a dreadful place .
He thought .
Whatever .
If Sienna loves staying here , let her stay .
It’s not like Tan the one torturing her .
She seeks trouble herself , so what can I do !
Resolute , he turned to go downstairs .
The stairwell was completely dark , and suddenly , Josiah paused .
It seemed that something was clinging to his
