Chapter 71 

At this moment , Cedric’s phone rang .

It was a friend looking for him . 

“ Go on ahead .

” Sienna smiled at him after noticing . 

“ Yeah , okay ,” Cedric stood up and , before leaving , mustered the courage to ask , “ Sienna , can we exchange contact details ! ” 

It wasn’t an unreasonable request .

“ Sure , ” Sienna nodded with a smile , taking out her phone to exchange numbers and connect on social media . 

“ Great ” Cedric’s face lit up with joy , his heart filled with happiness .

He waved at Sienna .

Tim heading off now , see you later 

“ Okay , see you .” 

The birthday party was lively and bustling With Miranda holding the fort , everyone enjoyed themselves .

As she grew ured towards the end , it was Josiah who , along with Sienna , saw the guests off . 

Cedric , with his famaly , watched her from afar .

As their eyes met , he grinned and gestured with his phone , indicating they’d stay in touch 

Sienna gave a slight smile and nodded in response . 

Little did they know , their subtle exchange was entirely noticed by the man standing beside them . 

With all the guests finally gone , there was nothing left to worry about .

Sienna let out a sigh of relief , massaging her neck as she turned to head upstairs 

She thought to herself that the evening had been tiring enough .

A 30 – minute practice session should be all she needed before she could shower and go to bed . 

As she reached the second floor , a cold laugh auddenly came from the person beside her . 

Sienna lifted her head , looking at Josiah in confusion . 

Josiah lowered his gaze slightly , obviously mocking “ Are you happy ? ” 

“ Huh ! ” Sienna was stunned , 

“ What’s got you so happy ! ” She didn’t answer , but Josiah insisted .

“ Come on , tell me , so I can be happy too . 

His mocking tone made Sienna frown .

“ It’s my birthday today , can’t I be happy ? Should I be sad instead ! ” 

“ Sienna ! ” Josiah suddenly exclaimed , grabbing her waist and pinning ber against the wall .

He even lifted her up .

Sienna could only feel her feet leaving the ground , pinned to the wall by him . 

Before Sienna could react , his handsome face moved in close to bers .

In the next moment , his warm lips pressed against hers .

Without any pause , an intense kissing followed , their breaths mingling together . 

Sienna’s eyes widened in shock, her mind went blank , and her clenched hands trembled slightly .

What is he doing ? She thought .

Sienna froze completely , her whole body tensed as she struggled hard . 

However , Josiah’s strength was too much , and she couldn’t break free .

In a panic , she bit down hard . 

Josiah groaned in pain and released her .

It felt like his tongue had been bitten , and the taste of blood filled his mouth .

“ Sienna , are you part dog or something ” 

Shock wasnt enough to describe how Sienna fels at that moment .

Her lipstick was smeared , her lips were a bit red and swollen from the kiss , and they glistened with a thin sheen of moisture under the light .

What are you doing ? Are you crazy ? ” 

She’d never expect Josiah to kiss her. 

“ What 

hat did you say ? ” Josiah was stunned and squinted his eyes .

He didn’t think it was crazy for him to kiss her at all .

Suddenly , fire sparked in Josiah’s eyes , and be reached out towards her . 

Don’t come any closer Siena’s rigid body started to trendle uncontrollably .

She took two steps back , then turned around and ran 

Sienna didn’t Indten , the dashed to the door , yanked it open , and quickly shut it behind her .

“ Sienna ! ” Josiah quickly caught up but was stopped at the door .

He wanted to knock , but it would wake Miranda.

He let out an almost silent chuckle .

his half – closed eyes giving off a sharp glint .

He was confident to have her . 

Inside the room , the moment Sienna entered , she collapsed onto the floor .

She lifted her hand , fiercely rubbing her lips , and murmured softly , “ No , ” Her entire body trembled uncontrollably as fear slowly spread from deep within her heart . 

She couldn’t believe Josiah actually kissed her .

She didn’t know what he wanted to do .

Sienna couldn’t understand .

She shrank back , got up from the floor , and stumbled into the bathroom to start brushing her teeth .

again and again . 

She wanted to wash away all traces of Josiah , make it completely gone .

Suddenly , her phone vibrated in her pocket .

It was a call from Hannah “ Hello ? ” Sienna tried to stay calm as she swiped to answKCT 

“ Hi , Mommy , ” A sweet voice came from the other end . 

Joyce ! ” Instantly .

Sienna’s eyes turned red , tears welling up uncontrollably .

“ Joyce , my sweet baby 

“ Mommy Joyce sounded cheerful today .

Is it dark over there now ? Are you getting ready for bed ! ” It was now past eleven at night in Jelacrity , whereas over in Flirty , it was around ten in the morning . 

“ That’s right ” Sienna replied with a smile , “ Joyce’s so smart .

Did you just 

wake up ? Did you sleep well last night ? ” 

“ Yeah , I did .

I’ve been up for a little while now .

Hannah came to see me , and I wanted to call Mommy ” 

“ Really ! ” Listening to the child’s voice made Sienna’s heart melt .

“ Did you want to call Mommy because you miss me ? ” 

“ Yes , I did , ” Joyce’s voice was soft and sweet .

“ Today is Mommy’s birthday .

Happy birthday , Mommy ” 

Sienna was taken aback when she heard it .

Her eyes brimmed with tears instantly .

She hadn’t expected Joyce to call her for this reason .

Her voice was nearly breaking with emotion .

“ Thank you , my dear Joyce .

” 

“ No need to thank me .

Mommy .

Without you, there wouldn’t be me” 

Sienna couldn’t hold back any longer .

Tears were streaming down her face .

“ Mmm , ” Sienna was choking back her tears .

“ I love you too 

“ Mommy ,” Joyce whined , “ 1 really , really miss you .

When are you coming to get me ? ” 

Sienna paused , feeling a wave

It was her lack of ability that prevented her from bringing Joyce back now , 

“ Soon ” She comforted Joyce , holding back her emotions , Joyce , be a good girl , listen to William and Hannah .

Mommy is working hard , and 111 come get you soon . 

“ Okay ” Joyce sounded a bit disappointed .

But as she grew up dependent on Stenna , she was a well – behaved girl .

“ Okay , I’ll be good .

Mommy , I’m giving the phone to Hannah now .

” 

“ Good girl , Joyce . 

“ Sienna .

” The phone was handed to Hannah , 

“ Thank you , Hannah ,” Sienna said , her voice choked with emotion .

No doubt this call was arranged by Hannah .

Joyce was only three , hadn’t been to school due to poor health , and couldn’t even remember her own birthday . 

“ Why thank me ? No need to be so distant , Hannah said casually , then asked , “ For Joyce’s surgery , do you have
