Chapter 67
“ Hmm , ” On hearing about the birthday party , Josiah nodded but then paused , a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes .
“ Grandma , what did you just say ! A good match ! ”
Miranda gave him a sharp look and said with a bit of annoyance , “ Don’t you know what a match means ?”
Of course , he knew .
Precisely because he knew , Josiah felt a bit restless “ Grandma , please don’t be like that , He thought Miranda must be joking .
She had actually thought about throwing a party for Sienna to draw eligible bachelors .
“ Grandma , ” Josiah rubbed his forehead .
“ Everyone in Jeiacrity knows about her and my relationship ”
“ Who can you blame for that ? ” Miranda smirked .
“ If you were willing to be with her properly , would I be this worried ? ”
Tut , Grandma- ”
“ Stop talking , ” Miranda said firmly .
“ I’ve made up my mind .
I’m handling this matter , or else , if she’s left to her own choices , she might find another .
old man .” Miranda shook her head .
This must not happen again ! Josiah ”
She looked at Josiah and sighed , “ You’re the one who left her .
You let her down , and so did I.
If I don’t see her happily settled , I won’t rest in peace .
” “ Grandma- “ Josiah was at a loss for words , completely helpless .
He had no choice but to agree with Miranda , “ Alright , let’s do it your way ” “ Okay , ” Miranda was satisfied and reminded him , “ Yvette is not here , so I’m leaving this to you .
When the time comes , make sure to invite all the good young men from Jelacrity .
”
“ Alright , ” Josiah nodded , the word almost stuck in his throat
“ Oh , and ” Miranda added .
“ Don’t let Sienna know about this for now .
We’ll tell her once I find a suitable candidate ”
Sienna’s situation made it challenging to find someone suitable .
In the circle of high society in Jelacrity , there were always reservations .
If nothing came through temporarily , she’d be afraid Sienna would be upset
However , suggesting Miranda lower her standards and settle for someone from a normal family was not agreeable to Miranda .
She cherished Sienna so much .
Sienna was fit to be her granddaughter – in- law .
So she wouldn’t allow Sienna to marry just anyone .
Sienna must marry well .
Even if it meant marrying again , it needed to be a step up
Leaving the study , Josiah turned to head back to his room .
By now , it was too late , and he didn’t feel like returning to the Silver Beach , so he decided to spend the night here .
But as he passed by Sienna’s bedroom , he stopped .
Sienna came to the family at fifteen , and of course , she had her room in the house .
Even after marrying him and spending years abroad , Miranda made sure her room was kept just as it was .
At this moment , the room door was firmly closed .
Josiah squinted , thinking to himself , “ What’s she up to now
Suddenly , the door opened .
Their eyes met , and Josiah felt a bit awkward and looked away .
Josiah , Sienna sudde
suddenly called out to him
He frowned and instinctively blurted out , “ What did you just call me ? ”
“ What ?” Sienna looked surprised and repeated , “ Josiah ,”
heard her and furrowed his eyebrows even more .
Only then did he realize that was how she was addressing him .
“ What’s wrong ? ”
Sienna didn’t know what went wrong , but she noticed the man seemed upset again .
Josiah couldn’t quite explain it , only that he remembered she never used to call him that .
She used to call him “ Mr.
Flynn “ , then just “ Josiah , Hardly anyone ever used his full name .
Using the full name usually suggested formality or distance .
It seemed like ever since he came back , that was bow it’d been .
He found it somehow very odd .
Josiah felt uneasy , but couldn’t quite explain why .
His tone wasn’t very pleasant as he asked .
“ What do you need from me ? ”
Seeing his expression worsen , Sienna decided to get straight to the point .
“ I wanted to ask if you could keep my dancing at Maze a secret from Grandma .
Just say at night I go to the center to teach kids how to dance , okay ? ”
Josiah nodded slightly , “ Understood , ” After thinking for a moment , he added , “ This isn’t a long – term solution .
I think you should leave Maze sooner

rather than later .
”
Upon hearing this , Sienna’s face froze for a moment , but she forced a smile .
This is my job .
It’s how I support myself
“ Do you really have to ? ” Josiah asked , clearly dissatisfied .
“ Even if you don’t do this , you’re not going to starve ! ”
Sienna let out a helpless chuckle , “ How’s that even-
“ Ill feed you ! ” Before she could finish her sentence , she was interrupted by his unexpected words .
Sienna was taken aback , thinking she might have misheard .
“ What did you say ? ”
1 – Josiah was startled by his own words .
He didn’t know what was going on with him to say something like that .
His Adam’s apple bobbed intensely as Josiah tried to remain calm .
“ What I mean is , the Flynn family can support you .
Grandma cares for you so much , she treats you as her own granddaughter .
Do you think they would let you starve ! ”
Sienna sighed with relief and smiled softly .
“ But I’m still not part of the Flynn family .
Grandma may care about me , but I can’t be shameless and ungrateful .
I’ve already owed the Flynn family a lot .”
After saying that , she waved and said , “ It’s late , I need to sleep now .
Goodnight , ” She then stepped back a couple of steps and closed the door .
Josiah stood outside the door , narrowing his eyes slightly .
The current Sienna handled things with grace and tact .
Some of the young elites might ignore her past and fall for her Josiah closed his eyes tightly , thinking , “ Why have a birthday party ?
Even though he was very reluctant and frustrated , he knew he couldn’t skip his responsibilities .
After all , it was Sienna’s birthday .
Purting everything else aside , Josiah actually wanted to give her a proper birthday celebration .
Sienna only found out on the day itself .
Early in the morning , Sienna was having breakfast with Miranda The housekeeper Linda and her team started the preparations .
Delivery people , temporary chefs , walters , and all the others arrived .
Sienna realized late and asked , “ Grandma , are we having guests over today ? ”
“ Yes ” Miranda replied with a smile , patting her hand , “ It’s for your birthday party .
“ What Sienna was quite surprised .
“ Grandma , it’s really not necessary .
It’s just a birthday .
” She hadn’t celebrated her birthday for many years , so she completely forgot today was her birthday .
“ It’s necessary , ” Miranda shook her head with an apologetic look .
“ Last time at the welcome party , you felt wronged .
This is the perfect opportunity to make it up to you .
I want everyone in Jelarrity to know you’re my wonderful granddaughter .
“ Grandma-
“ Everything’s ready , Miranda said with a smile , “ Invitations have been sent , the evening’s staff is here , and you just need to look pretty and be happy
Meanwhile , at the front gate , the wrought iron gates opened as a black Bentley Mulsanne slowly drove in .
