Chapter 312 Sienna was slightly taken aback .

She thought , Has he come to terms with it ? Although she was puzzled by the sudden shift in his attitude , this outcome was precisely what she had hoped for .

Alright Sienna smiled faintly .

Take care , Im leaving now , You too … Cedric nodded slightly , got out of the car , and walked around to open the door for her .

They looked into each others eyes and shared a smile .

Sienna waved at him and said , Tm going in .

Its snowing , so drive carefully .

I will .

You go ahead and get inside .

Ill leave once I see you safely in , Cedric replied .

Okay , Sienna said and walked inside .

The moment she turned away , Cedrics smile vanished .

His eyes were filled with an unwavering affection .

Watching her retreating figure , he murmured sofily , Sienna , Ill wait for you .

He understood Siennas predicament .

From her perspective , her rejection of him was completely understandable .

As a mother , she naturally had to rally had to prioritize her daughter .

He couldnt and wouldnt compete with Joyer So , all he could do was wait .

Wait until the day Joyce was safe and sound .

Until then , he wouldnt put any pressure on Sienna .

a His waiting was a voluntary act , unrelated to her .

Perhaps , when Joyce recovered , Sienna and Josiah wouldnt end up together .

That would be his chance .

If , against all hopes , Sienna and Josiah did end up together , he wouldnt regret it .

Cedric smiled , raised his hand , and caught a falling snowflake , saying , This is the hope I give myself .

After all , there was still hope .

Back at the apartment , Joyce had already taken a bath and fallen asleep .

Tara was still bustling about .

Sienna noticed the large kitchen table was filled with various items differem ingredients , snacks , and red stuff .

Whats this ? Sienna picked up one item , not recognizing it .

These are ribbons for the windows , Tara said with a smile .

Dont you know ! Havent you ever put them up ? c.7 Upon her explanation , Sienna recognized them , saying , I do know , but its been a long time since I last put them up .

When she was little , she and her grandmother would put them up every year .

Later , when she moved in with the Flynn family , such tasks were no longer her concern .

The household staff would take care of it And then , when she moved to Fliraty , there were quite a few people from her home country in Fliraty , but she was on a tight budget , saving wherever she could while taking care of Joyce Sienna rolled up her sleeves and said , Let me put them up .noveldrama

Sure , Tara replied .

Sienna opened the packaging and remarked , The New Year is coming .

Time really flies Isnt it ? Once you grow up , time seems to speed up .

Tara responded .

Sienna walked over to the window , lifted the curtain , and stuck the ribbons on the window , carefully smoothing it out .

She murmured , It looks really nice As she let the curtain drop , her gaze paused , and she quickly lifted the curtain again to take a closer look .

Downstairs , there was a black Bentley parked .

It was a bit far to see the license plate clearly .

She thought , V Who o else can it be , with that kind of car parked here ! Has Josiah come ! Sienna frowned and quickly closed the curtain .

However , none of the things she worried about happened .

Her phone remained silent , with no calls or messages .

The doorbell didnt ring either .

The whole night was calm and peaceful הו 7.29 AM C Chapter 312 When she got ready for bed .

Sienna couldnt help but doubt whether she had seen wrong , or perhaps it wasnt Josiah after all .

The next morning , when Sienna woke up , Joyce was still asleep .

Not wanting to wake her daughter , she got up first .

While washing up , she heard knock on the door .

Tara went to open it and said .

Who is it ? So early .

Then she exclaimed in surprise , Mr.

Flynn , its you .

Yes Josiah stood at the door , holding a bag with the logo of Seasonal Rakery .

He smiled faintly and said .

As promised to Joyce yesterday .

All Tara was surprised .

She thought .

When did this happen ? Uncle , uncle ! A small figure suddenly ran out of the room and rushed to the door , Josiah bent down and with one arm , he scooped Joyce up .

Good morning , Joyce , he said , raising the bag in his hand .

I brought you some muffins , Josiah said .

Wow ! Joyces eyes and mouth curved into a smile , saying , Thank you , Uncle Josiah Tara was both amused and exasperated .

It really happened .

She said , Joyce , did you sneak my phone to call Mr.

Flynn yesterday ? I didnt sneak , Joyce said with a serious little face .

Joyce missed him .

Uncle Josiah said if I miss him , I can find him As she spoke , she hugged Josiahs neck for confirmation , saying Right ? Thats right .

Josiah nodded with a smile , handing the bag to Tara , saying , Joyce said she wanted muffins , so I got some from Seasonal Bakery Oh my , Tara said and quickly took it .

Muffins from Seasonal Bakery , the best in Jeiacrity .

She turned around just as Sienna came out after finishing her wash .

Tara smiled and said , Sienna , Mr.

Flynn is here .

Tara already knew they had met before .

Of course , she knew nothing else .

Mm hmm .

Sienna gave Josiah a faint smile and said , Good morning Good morning Josiah looked at her , remembering his promise , tried to put Joyce down , and said , Joyce , I have to go now , Have a good breakfast with mom .

No way ! Joyce held onto his neck and said , Uncle , stay ! Stay ! Josiah hesitated and looked at Sienna Joyce , Sienna frowned slightly and said , Uncle Josiah is busy .

He doesnt have time .

* Uncle Joyce looked at Josiah with hopeful eyes and said .

No time ?! Cant you have breakfast with Joyce ! Josiah thought , How can I bear to refuse my daughters coquetry ? Joyce .

Seeing the situation was not good , Sienna added , He doesnt like our home cooked meals ? Really ? Joyce asked .

Sienna had no idea , and Tara came over to join the conversation .

Mr.

Flynn , Ive prepared pumpkin soup , pancakes , scrambled eggs , bacon , cereal , toast with butter … Do you like any of these ! If not , its okay .

We have muffins from Seasonal Bakery , right ? Tara asked .

Sienna was at a loss .

None of her teammates were cooperating .

Josials chuckled and said , I can eat anything .

Its just that … He didnt finish his sentence and looked at Sienna again .

Sienna ? Tara understood and chimed in , Mr.

Flynn has helped Joyce a lot , and they really hit it off .

Please , Mr.

Flynn , come in and have a seat .

Logically , it was the right thing to do .

Si Sienna couldnt explain , so she reluctantly said , Please , come in … Great Josiah was delighted , subtly raising t the comers of his mouth .
