Chapter 222 Sienna glanced at his expression and didnt know what he meant .
Is he implying a breakup ? Panic began to creep in .
Josiah .
Leave ? Josiah waved his hand wearily , surrounded by a cloud of gloom .
Got Before I have second thoughts , hurry away ! Sienna stood frozen , utterly shocked .
Gof Josiah barked .
Sienna flinched as his booming voice made her shoulders tremble .
She furrowed her brow and , after a moments hesitation , turned to exit As her footsteps faded and the door to the study closed , Josiahs pupils contracted sharply .
He rose and moved toward the liquor cabinet .
As the bery alcohol coursed down his throat , he wondered if anyone still remembered that today was his birthday Maybe no one did .
In those early years .
Yvette would secretly give him gifts and wish him a happy birthday .
But that had gradually faded away .
Tonight, all he wanted was to celebrate his birthday with the person he cherished .
Yet even this modest wish had been denied .
The person he cherished had just been driven away .
He believed Sienna had left since she had been with him against her will .
It was late , and the darkness outside was intimidating he worried she might encounter another reckless driver .
Josiah regretted his earlier decision he should not have sent her away at such an hour , he should have at least waited until dawn .
He picked up his phone , intending to call her .
He swiped the screen then hesitated , canceling the call instead .
Fear tugged at his mind .
The study door was knocked upon once more Josiah looked up abruptly as Sienna stepped through the door .
She hadnt left Josiah stared at her , expressionless , secretly biting the tip of his tongue .
There was indeed a sting .
This was real .
Hey As she approached , he could hear her soft sigh .
Sienna grasped his hand , gazing at him , her long eyelashes fluttering as her voice became gentle and silky .
Its not wise to drink on an empty stomach.
Are you hungry ? Would you like pasta ? Josiah glanced at the arm she had wrapped around his , his throat tightening .
She hadnt left , and she had made him pasta .
Yet , when he opened his mouth , he stubbornly retorted .
I dont like pasta .
Sienna was momentarily taken aback , feeling a wave of frustration .
Still , she had to appease him .
Theyre handnude .
I made and rolled the dough myself ; they re nothing like store bought .
Would you give them a try ! Josiah raised an eyebrow , remaining noncommittal Come on Sienna took the chance , linking her arm through his and tugging him outside .
We also got chicken soup , its delicious Josiah didnt say a word , allowing himself to be led downstairs .
On the dining table were two plates of pasta : one large , meant for him , and a smaller one , intended for her .
She usually watched her figure and avoided eating at night .
Josiah frowned .
You havent eaten yet ? Sienna nodded .
Josiah seized the chance to say sarcastically , Oh , so your roommate is so important , and you treat her so well , yet she couldnt even spare you a dinner ! I wasnt going to dinner with her , Sienna reported , handing him the fork .
She ladled some broth and brought it to his lips .
Drink some soup Gazing at the spoon poised at his lips , Josial hesitated for several beats before finally parting his mouth .
Is it good ? Siennas smile blossomed her eyes sparkling with delight .
Josiah felt a tickle in his throat , nodding slightly .
Minen Have some pasta .
She offered him , holding the pasts up to his mouth .
I added an egg Unable to resist , he parted his lips .
Siennas smile deepened , her eyes glimmering Is it tasty ? first TM Josiah nodded , noting the delightful texture of the pasta chewy and springy ; indeed , it was delicious .
Curiosity piqued ; he murmured .
You made 1/2 Chapter 222 it yourself ? How do you learn that ! In the past , Sienna was untouched by any labor in the Flynn family .
That was certainly a skill forced upon her during her years in Fliraty .
She said , I learned with my grandma when I was young .
Josiah praised .
Your grandma is remarkable , raising you and teaching you so many skills .
He gestured to her plate .
You should eat too .
Theyll be less tasty if they sit too long Alright .
For a moment , they sat in silence , each focused on their meals Josiah ate quickly , yet his manners remained refined .
The large portion of pasta was finished swiftly .

Are you finished ? Sienna lifted her gaze .
Mm .
Josiah nodded , pulling out a napkin to wipe his mouth , leaning back against his chair .
Sienna asked , Are you full ! I made so little … Should I prepare something else for you ? She rose .
Sit down and eat your food .
Josiah grasped her wrist .
Tm Sienna complied , remaining seated to finish her pasta , occasionally sipping some soup .
She sensed the weight of his gaze upon her , and the atmosphere grew awkward .
He had told her to leave , and yet she remained , boldly choosing to stay and appease him with a meal .
Now that the pasta was finished , the core issue resurfaced .
She wondered , Will he ask me to leave again ! If he insists , what should I do ?! Sienna .
When her name was called , Sienna was startled and nervously tugged at her lips .
I havent finished yet .
Josiah glanced at her food , noticing only a few spoonfuls of broth remained .
It was clearly a fib .
He looked out the window , his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table .
Its quite late … he said seductively .
Siennas heart raced , thinking he was preparing to send her away .
Suddenly , she stood , busy gathering the dishes as if she hadnt heard his hint .
Yes , it is late .
You should wash up and get some rest .
Josiah remained seated , narrowing his eyes as he watched her clear the table and carry the dishes to the kitchen .
Soon after , he followed her inside .
There , Sienna placed the dishes in the dishwasher and started searching for dishwasher pods .
Stop busying yourself .
Josiah let out a barely audible sigh , capturing her wrist , his brow slightly furrowed .
Do you realize what youre doing ? Hmm Sienna responded , taken aback .
Washing the dishes ? Josiah gazed deeply into her eyes .
You know what I mean .
Taking a deep breath , he repeated , Do you understand what youre doing ? Hmm ? Sienna bit her lip , nodding lightly , Josiahs eyes narrowed , his arms drawing her into an embrace as his other hand cradled her chin .
Kiss me .
If you really know so well , kiss me right now ! Chapter 223
