Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 65 Everything around was pitch black, and nothing could be seen .

Josiah quickly looked up toward Sienna's apartment.

It was the sthere.

She must be scared alone in her rundown place Without much thought, Josiah unlocked his phone and turned on the flashlight, moving forward.

This time, he didn't bring anything, and with his long legs, he quickly climbed several steps at once, swiftly reaching the fifth floor.

Inside the apartment, Sienna was holding her phone, searching through the drawer for candles.

She was a bit surprised when she heard the knock on the door.

She ran to open the door.

"Who's there?" "Who else could it be?" In the darkness, Josiah's deep eyes fixed on her.

"What, do you have a lot of visitors? Besides that grain seller from last time, who else? Sienna blinked in confusion and shook her head, "No one else.

"Hmph "Josiah scoffed as he strode in and sat down on the couch.

"What's going on?" "Oh," Sienna explained, "The power's out " "What?" Josiah couldn't believe it," Power's out?" In this day and age, in such a booming place as Jeiacrity there couldn't possibly be a power outage.

"That's just the way it is," Sienna replied, " 12th Avenue is an impoverished neighborhood and many of the lines are outdated and frequently need repairs," Things like this were naturally beyond the understandin g of Josiah, who had grown up in a wealthy neighborhood.

"This run-down place.

Josiah frowned in displeasure.

"Why are you so stubborn about living here ? " Sienna didn't want to respond to that.

Instead, she asked him, “Did you cup for any particular re reason Hearing that, Josiah was at a loss.

He didn't know what to reply.

He couldn't bring himself to say something gross like he was worried about her. "Hmph," Josiah grunted, "I just cto check things out and see what's going on.

Otherwise, if something happened to you, I wouldn't know how to explain it to Grandma Sienna nodded and said.

"I'm fine, you can go now." Josiah's eyes widened.

He couldn't believe she was actually kicking him out.

She didn't care about his goodwill at all.

Suddenly feeling a tightness in his chest, he said, "Leave? In the pitch dark? How am I supposed to do that? "Don't you have your phone ! " " My phone's dead! " "Oh, right, just wait a moment," Sienna remembered something and turned back to rummage through the cabfor candles Josiah stood up in confusion and moved beside Sienna, slightly leaning forward.

"What are you looking for?" "Candles " "Candles?" Josiah was surprised again.

"You actually have those here?" "Yeah," Sienna replied naturally.

"The power goes out a lot here.

The landlord and agent toldwhen I was renting so I prepared ahead." He was surprised that she knew it was this kind of place and still rented it. Josiah's frown deepened as he looked at the girl's silhouette in the dim light. She felt so unfamiliar, unlike the once - spoiled and wild Sienna he knew.

"Ah - ha," She finally found the candles deep in the drawer.

Sienna smiled, "Look, I found it," She handed one to Josiah .

"Here, take this.

Light it so you can see your way down the stairs " " Hmph," Josiah glanced at her.

"Thanks, but no thanks!" "Huh?" Sienna was puzzled.

"Why not! You said it was too dark out there.

" "It's so ugly! " Josiah said with disdain, You expectto carry this downstairs? No way!" He said this as he pushed away Sienna's hand holding the candle.

"Take it away!" Sienna was speechless and muttered, " Fine, if you don't want it, why get mad?" Suddenly, she froze, every hair on her body standing up.

She grabbed Josiah's hand tightly.

"Sienna ! Sienna Josiah didn't know what happened, but as she jumped, he instinctively reached up and caught her.

So, like an octopus, Sienna clung to him.

Terrified and unaware, she tightly wrapped her arms around Josiah's neck, babbling.

"Ah ! " Josiah was taken aback.

Such a soft figure was now clinging to him.

His Adam's apple moved as he instinctively supported her with one hand, while the other held the back of her head, pulling her closer into his embrace This way, his face was almost buried in her neck.

The solt, sweet scent unique to her surrounded him completely.

She smelled so nice and felt so soft.

Without thinking, he softened his voice to gently reassure her.

"Don't be afraid.

I'm here." Upon hearing this, Sienna suddenly froze, snapping back to reality.

She had somehow ended up falling onto Josiah .

She released her hold and tried to get down.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to .

It was unclear whether Josiah noticed her intention amot, but he Le didn't let go, still holding her. He chuckled softly.

"What scared you?" Sienna hesitated.

"I think it was a cockroach," it was typical for houses like this to have cockroaches.

She had actually bought scockroach spray already but didn't expect there'd still be a few escaped ones. She gently nudged Josiah, murmuring quietly, Tim fine now, you can putdown." "Okay." Josiah replied as he held her but didn't immediately let go.

Instead he carried her to the edge of the sofa, then bent over to gently place her down.

As his hands were about to release her, he hesitated.

His throat suddenly felt very dry and itchy as he struggled to speak .

"Sienna.

"Him" " Sienna lifted her head, unable to clearly see his face in the dark .

"What is it?"

Even though he couldn't see anything, he precisely found her lips.
