Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 369 There was a few seconds of silence .

Josiahs voice , soft and low , finally broke the quiet .

Yes , I like you .

Its true .

How could I not like a girl who literally saved my life ? Josiah … Yvettes heart eased , and tears shimmered in her eyes .

Josiahs gaze darkened , and his voice grew heavier as he continued , But Yvette , you and Howard have been together for over ten years .

Not once did I feel a hint of jealousy .

I only felt happy for you two As he spoke , the light in Yvettes eyes began to dim .

Josiah took a deep breath, as though he could no longer hold back .

Do you understand what this means ! No … Yvettes heart raced , shaking her head frantically in disbelief .

Josiah stared at her , his voice growing even softer .noveldrama

What I feel for you is just gratitude .

To me , this kind of feeling has nothing to do with your gender , or maybe it goes beyond gender .

He always treated her as his lifesaver .

That was why , all these y years , he had protected her without condition and just wanted her to be happy .

No ! Yvette shook her head , tears streaming down her face .

Its not true ! Its getting late .

Josiah looked away , his arm twitching slightly .

Youre tired .

You should rest .

Clearly , he didnt want to continue this conversation .

However , Yvette had already backed herself into a corner .

Josiah , dont leave ! She called out , her voice desperate , her eyes frantic .

I get it ! Its because of your grandmother , right ? Youre worried shell oppose it , arent you ? As the head of the Flynn family , Miranda could never stand for any scandals within the family .

That was why , years ago , she made Yvette choose between the two boys .

Later , she even arranged for Josiah to be with Sienna The more Yvette thought about it , the more certain she became .

She almost convinced herself .

How about we leave the Flynn family ? Would that be okay ? Im willing to leave with you , Josiah ! Yvette .

Josiahs voice was soft but full of hesitation .

Yvette said .

I know youve built your own career these past years ! Josiah tried to interrupt , but Yvette was already spiraling , her thoughts clouded by obsession .

She smiled through her tears , saying .

Even if we leave the Flynn family , with your abilities , we can live just fine.

Yes , lets leave the Flynn family ! She gripped Josiahs arm tightly as if she had already made up her mind , Well leave the Flynn family .

If we leave , we can be together .

Yvette ! Seeing that she wasnt listening , Josiah snapped in a sharp voice as he interrupted , Listen to me , okay ? Yvette froze and finally stopped .

Okay .

This has nothing to do with Grandma .

Josiah frowned as he shook his head slowly but firmly , Yvette , I dont have romantic feelings for you .

Do you understand ? Yvette trembled , her heart breaking into pieces , but she still sh I shook her head , unable to accept it .

I dont believe you ! Josiah rubbed his forehead and sighed deeply .

Dont you know what kind of person I am ! I dont give in to things I dont want , not even if my grandma pressures me .

Even after Sienna and I were married , I still kept my distance .

Even after the marriage , he still neglected Sirma .

Josiali continued , However , when I want something , no matter how unwilling she is , Ill still go after it Yvette thought , Every sentence is about Siennal She let out a biger laugh .

Then what about me ? Do I not mutter to you anymore ? No.

Josiali shook his head and said carefully , To me , youre like a sibling , just like Howard , Yvette let out a silent , bitter laugh .

Then what about Sienna is that love ? No , I dont believe you She questioned him sharply .

She said , Maybe it is love , but is there really everlasting love in this world ? Didnt Howard once say that he would only love me forever ! Its all 1/2 Chapter 369 nonsense ! Yvettes emotions flared up again .

She grabbed Josiahs arm , her eyes glowing with a strange intensity .

Josiah , forget about Sienna .

Starting right now , just think of me as your beloved one .

We can be together Calm down , Yvette ! Josiah seized her wrist , firmly prying her hand off .

Our situation has nothing to do with Sienna .

Even without her , it would still be impossible for us because Ive never had romantic feelings for you .

You , 1 , and Howard were family .

There was a pause , and then Josiah added .

Even if I hadnt met Sienna , I would fall for someone else .

The truth was clear it would never be her .

Yvette froze , her grip on his hand loosening little by little .

Josiah took a step back , pausing for several seconds before turning around .

After walking a couple of steps , he stopped and glanced back at the still- seated Yvette .

Sienna has already agreed to my proposal .

Were getting married .

Without another word , he turned and left the ward .

Yvette sat there in the wheelchair , her gaze unfocused .

She could hear him talking to the nurse outside , giving orders , Keep an eye on her .

Dont leave her alone again Understood .

Mr.

Flynn , said the nurse .

Yvette sneered and thought , Is he worried that I might do something drastic again ? Ha , I wont do this .

He and Sienna are getting married , arent they ? How could I just give up on everything ? I have to stay alive and watch if they really can make it to the end She looked down at her legs , thinking .

They are all happy together , and what about me ? Am I just supposed to die alone ? No way ! The weather slowly warmed up , and mornings came earlier .

When Josiah arrived at Sunshine Neighborhood , Sienna had just gotten up and hadnt had a chance to freshen up .

Tara was busy in the kitchen , and Sienna came to open the door .

Good morning , Josiah said , holding a bouquet of fresh flowers in one hand and a bag from Tasty Bites in the other .

Freshly baked egg tarts .

You and Joyce both like them , right ? Sienna took the bag from him , not saying much Josiah said , Tll go check on Joyce .

Sienna said , Shes not awake yer Josial said , Thats fi s fine .

Ill just stay with her .

Sienna didnt stop him .

She unwrapped the flowers , found a vase , filled it with water , and arranged the flowers inside .

Soon , their small talk filled the room .

Good morning , Mr.

Flynn j Joyce said in a cheerful voice .

Good morning , Joyce .

Josiah handed her a dress .

Wow , your dress is so pretty ! Joyce twirled in front of him , beaming with pride .

Wow , I look so beautiful ! Josiah raised an eyebrow .

Youve always looked pretty Joyce blinked , her expression serious as she said , Youre right .

Were both pretty humans ! Josia your ce .

He ! Would to g
