Tll get you a spoon … Josiah saw through her refusal to answer , feeling a pang of disappoiment .
But at least Sienna didnt outright deny that she liked him He held her tightly .
Youre so stingy ! Is it really that hard to say you like me ? Leaning down , he kissed her gently .
Ill go get the spoon myself .
Ill finish every last bite of what you made for me ! Releasing her , he turned toward the cupboard .
Watching his back , Sienna felt a moment of disorientation .
For an instant , she even wavered in her resolve .

What if he can accept Joyce and treat her well ? Perhaps we can get married ! This thought flitted through her mind , causing her head to swirl , and her heart to race .

His lips pressed into a tight line as he struggled to contain his anger .
You incompetent fools ! You cant keep track of a three year old ? Bobby had been temporarily placed in Herveys care , and Howard had yet to figure out how to discuss this matter with Yvette .
Hervey remained silent , not contesting Howards fury .
After the outburst .
Howard managed to regain some composure .

After completing his tasks .
Hervey awaited instructions at the Flynn residence .
Alright .
Ill be out soon After hanging up , Howard quickly changed and hurried out the door , only to unexpectedly collide with Yvette , Yvette .
Howard froze , a fleeting flicker of alarm crossing his face .
After knowing him for so many years , Yvette understood him very well Yvette scrutinized him closely , her expression calm but heavy with an impending storm .
Where are you off to at this hour ? Howard furrowed his brow .
Hervey needs to discuss something with me .

At that moment , Howard felt his eyelids twitch violently as he steeled himself .
He hadnt intended to hide this matter indefinitely , that would be impractical .

What is in ? After a moment of silence , Howard replied slowly .
The reason I Im out so late is that … my child is missing .
Wettes gaze faltered , seeming to struggle to process the information .
What did you say ? I said .
Howard took a deep breath , repeating .

I have to go find him , In that instant , a rush of blood surged to Yvettes head , overwhelming her with pressure that nearly caused her to lose her balance .
Clutching her head , her body swayed .
Yvette ! Howard rushed forward , attempting to steady her .
Dont touch me Yvette instantly pushed him away , her eyes wide with horror , as if she were staring at some monstrous creature .
Your child ? Howard furrowed his brow , silently nodding .
Yvettes eyes brimmed with tears .
She suddenly grabbed Howards collar , trembling all over .
Your child ? Yes .
Howard looked down , only able to nod .
An oppressive silence blanketed the air .
Yvettes complexion turned pale , and she bit down hard on her lip , seemingly oblivious to the pain as her lower lip bled from the bite .
Yvette ! Howards brows knitted tightly as he grasped her chin .
Dont hurt yourself ! Do you still care about me ? Under duress , Yvette released her grip , her laughter void of warmth .
She suddenly raised her hand and slapped Howard hard across the face .
