Out of nowhere .
Sienna interrupted the moment , raising her phone .
“ Excuse me , where is paying ? I will cover it .”
“ Well ..
” George was taken aback , instinctively glancing at Josiah .
“ What’s going on here ! he wondered .
Josiah , however , simply smiled , exuding a natural air of refinement .
His tone was distant and laced with sarcasm .
“ You pay ? Don’t be ridiculous .
T’s just a toy .
Why would she need to pay for it ? That’s absurd , he thought .
Josiah was well aware that Sienna hadn’t accepted any alimony , and the linle she earned from dancing at Maze wasn’t nearly enough to cover this .
“ Keep your paycheck for yourself .
I’ll take care of it , ” he said .
“ I want to pay for it myself ; Sienna insisted , summoning all her courage .
“ If you don’t let me , then .
I don’t want this Minnie Mouse anymore ! ”
“ Really now ? ” he wondered .
Josiah’s gaze softened as he observed her .
She can’t bear to let it go , can she ? From the moment they’d stepped in , eyes had been glued to the Minnie Mouse toy
He understood her resolve to maintain her independence and avoid getting entangled with him any further .
‘ Fine .
Let her have her way , he thought .
After all , it was his interference that had disrupted her plans .
Using this as a way to earn her gratitude seemed meaningless .
#
“ Alright ,” he relented , his tone carrying the indulgence of someone humoring a child .
You pay , as long as it makes you happy !
Hearing his agreement .
Sienna brightened instantly , failing to catch the faint trace of irony in his voice .
“ George , are we paying or not !”
her
“This way please ,” George replied , still slightly bewildered .
What a confusing relationship .
Oh well , I’ll just focus on doing my job , he wondered .
“ Will that be cash or card ? ” George asked .
“ Card Sienna replied promptly .
“ Got it , ” George said .
“ Now , the original price for this toy is 13,000 dollars .
The staff discount brings it down to 7,000 dollars , and since you’re a friend of Mr.
Flynn , I’ll offer you the wholesale price of 5.000 dollars .
Please swipe your card .
Wait , how much ? 5,000 dollars ? Sienna’s mind raced .
That’s an 8,000 – dollar discount just like that ? she wondered .
Overwhelmed with emotion , she al
almost teared up .
Thank you , thank you so much
“ No need to thank me : George replied modestly .
“ You should thank Mr.
Flynn instead .
”
Sienna understood .
All of this was because of Josiah .
As she swiped her card , Josiah wandered over and caught a glimpse of the price .
He raised an ryebrow in surprise .
13,000 dollars for a toy ! This thing ! While it’s not expensive for me , no ordinary family could afford to keep up with that ,’ thought Josiah .
He chuckled to himself , amused .
Doesn’t matter .
These days , I’m doing just fine without the Flynn family , he wondered .
Even the alimony specified in their divorce agreement had been money he earned himself , something he’d never shared with anyone .
Supporting Sienna wouldn’t be an issue for him now .
If nothing else , he’d rather pay for whatever she wanted than risk her throwing a tantrum , or worse , crying if she couldn’t get it
Suddenly , Josiah reached up and pressed his hand against his neck .
The spot where Siema had bitten him earlier still stung .
Sienna noticed and hesitated .
Was it really that bad ? Did I bite him that hard ? ‘ she thought .
“ You She bit her lip , quilt flashing across her face .
“ Does it hurt ? ”
If it hurts .
would you feel bad for me ? ” he teased , his lips curving into a playful smirk .
Sarrina Frege , Instantly regretting her question .
“ Humph ” Josiah muttered , frigning disappointment .
“ You’re the one who bit me .
Is a little concern too much to ask ? ”
He removed his land , revealing a s
a small , clear bite mark on his neck .
A faint trace of blood seeped from the wound .

George caught sight of it and couldn’t help feeling envious .
“ These vich people really know how to have fun , don’t they ? Was this some kind of after frtation pastime they were indulging in ? he wonderes .
Oblivious to George’s thoughts , Sienna earnestly asked .
“ Tho you have a first – aid kit here ? ”
The wound looked bad enough to warrant some treatment .
George glanced at Josiah , only to be met with a sharp , cutting look that mediately set him straight .
Without hesitation , he declared finndly , “ No.
We’re not a pharmacy .
Why would ver have a first – aid kit bere ? ”
Even if we did have one , I still say no , George thought to himself .
Sienna didn’t suspect a thing and turned apologetically in Josiah “ Maybe we can foul a nearby pharmacy ! There should be a
“ Fine ” Josiah was satisfied .
At least she wasn’t ignoring him
Just then , the staff came out carrying the boxed Minnie Mouse toy and looked to George for insinictions .
“ Who should we give Hubs to ?”
“ Give it to me ,” Sienna said , reaching out automatically ,
“ Wait a second .
” Josiah lifted his eyes , shooting her a brief hut pointed glance .
“ What does this have to do with you ? ”
He held out his ann .
“ Give it to me .
”
“ Of course , Mr.
Flynn , the staff member said , handing over the 26 – inch – high box , Josiah carried in with ease .
It was a rare sight , Josiah walking down the street holding a toy box .
The image was so comical that Sienna couldn’t hoki back a small laugh .
“ Huh ? ” Josiah looked down at her, eyebrows raised .
“ You’re Laighing at me ? ”
Sienna immediately stifled her laughter , shaking her head quickly .
“ No , not at all .
”
Josiah didn’t believe her , but since she looked so beautiful when she smiled , he let it slide ,
“ Go ahead and laugh ,” he said .
“ You know , you look better when you smile .
When you cry , you’re absolutely hideous .
Don’t cry anymore , got it ? ”
Sienna froze for a mon
a moment before turning her head away .
Thideous ? I shouldn’t care .
In his eyes , only Yvette is beautiful , she wondered ,
Luckily , there was a pharmacy near TreMall just a short walk away .
You should let Zaid go buy it , Sienna suggested .
Tl just head home first , ”
“ Don’t you dare ” Josiah’s temper flared instantly as he pointed to his
neck .
“ You bi
hit me , and you want Zail to know about it ? That’d be humiliating ! ”
“ Hey , ” Sienna hased , flapping her hands nervously .
“ Lower your voice ! ” It was the middle of the night .
He’d wake up the entire street , or worse , drawe the cops
She caved .
Fine .
I go .
Happy now ! ”
“ Humph ” Josiah scoffed lightly .
“ As you should ”
Inside the pharmacy , Josiah found a seat on a bench while Sienna bought Betaline swabs and bondages .
When she returned , the gestured to him .
“ Unbution your collar .
If not , the Betadine will stain it ”
“ You do it ” Jouch stretched his arms along the back of the bench , looking thoroughly relaxed
Tine , I have uved 8,000 dollars today thanks to him .
I could tolerate this much , she wondered .
Sienna gritted her teeth , took a deep breath , and reached up to unbutton the top two buttons of his shirt .
Just as she was about to pull her hand back , her fingers accidentally brushed against the curve of his Adam’s apple as it hobbed , Sienna froze briefly
at her fault , after all .
Josiah e esperson darkened .
his voice dropped to a raspy tone .
“ You did that on purpose , didn’t you ?
Tesn’t he know how armative a man’s Adam’s apple is he thought .
ve overthinking H , Sienna replied calmly .
She opened the Betadine swalt and leaned closer in his neck .
“ Don’t move .
I’m disinfecting
