Caught In His Embrace A Second Chance Romance novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45

“ What’s this ?” The soft , slimy feeling on his foot sent shivers up Josiah’s spine .

He took out his phone for light and realized he had stepped on some sticky food .

It seemed like some kind of soup .

Josiah moved his foot away in disgust , stomping it hard twice , and walked off with a scowl .

Behind him .

Sienna suddenly flung open the door .

She just realized that her pumpkin soup might have been thrown out earlier .

Using her phone’s flashlight , she finally found it in the corner .

Unfortunately , it had been smashed , with the soup spilled everywhere .

Sienna sighed regretfully .

“I can’t have it now.

Turning around , she picked up a broom and dustpan .

Since it was her item and she had made the mess , it was only right for her to clean it up ,

This little mishap with the pumpkin soup didn’t bother Sienna much .

Early the next morning , following the address sent by Derek , Sienna arrived on time at the location , along with several other dance stand – ins

To her surprise , Charles was there too , along with the choreographer .

Charles said , “ I’ll keep it simple .

I’ve already told the choreographer my expectations for the dance .

I want everyone to practice the movements they’ve designed thoroughly , making sure everything flows perfectly during filming .

No stops allowed .”

Charles was famous for his one – take shots , holding even dance stand – ins to the standards of actors .

“ Understood .

” Sienna quietly motivated herself .

But she wasn’t afraid .

A dancer just needed to dance well .

That was their Job .

All morning , the stand – in dancers practiced tirelessly with the choreographer , sweating profusely .

There was no doubt that Charles’s standards were very high .

And that was just one segment .

Apparently , it was for the opening part

It wasn’t until a little after 2 p.m.

that the choreographer clapped her hands , letting them go .

“ Keep practicing at home .

You all know Mr.

Carter’s standards , ” she reminded them .

‘ Got it

“ Okay ”

Sienna packed her things and rubbed her stomach , feeling a bit hungry .

They provided packed lunches earlier , but she danced it all off by now .

She wondered if she should grab a burger or go home to cook some pasta .

Cooking meant going back , and she couldn’t wait that long

Sienna stopped by a nearby burger joint , bought a burger , and started eating while walking .

“ Sienna Suddenly , someone called her name .

Sienna paused , looked up , and saw a middle – aged man standing just a few steps ahead

The middle – aged man stared at her , not daring to even blink , as if she’d disappear if he did ,

“ Sienna ” He took a few steps closer , his face lighting up with joy ,

“It’

s really you .

You’ve grown up so much .

I can hardly recognize you …” He stopped speaking suddenly .

Sienna gave a slight smirk with a hint of sarcasm .

“ Excuse me , could you move aside , please ? ”

The middle – aged man was taken aback .

“ Sienna , don’t you recognize me ? ”

“ Oh ! ” Sienna raised an eyebrow .

“ Should we know each other ? ”

For a moment , he couldn’t tell if she genuinely didn’t recognize him or was just annoyed .

He

uld only point to himself and explain , “ It’s been a long time suce we last met .

The last time I saw you was five years ago .

You’ve changed a

lot , but I haven’t .

You should remember …

“ Thave no idea what you’re talking about .

” Sienna was impatient with his rambling .

“I don’t know you .

Please step aside and stop blocking the way .

”

With that , she tried to walk past him .

“ Sienna .

” Suddenly , the middle aged man reached out and grabbed her arm .

“ Wait … ”

He didn’t expect this would set her off

Like a frightened little animal , Sienna stared at him with wide eyes , panicking and trying hard to break free .

“ Let go .

Let go now

“ What’s wrong ? ” The middle – aged man was confused , wondering , Why is she resisting me so much ?

ach it is as if 1 am going to hurt her !

Thanks ”

Her politeness didn’t sit well with Josiah She never used to be like this around him before … Back then , she didn’t know the meaning of holding back when it came to him .

Josiah pointed to the side of the road .

“ My car’s parked over there .

Where do you need to go ? I’ll take you ”

“ No.

” Sienna shook her head .

“ Don’t refuse ,” Josial firmly interrupted because he knew what she was going to say .

“ I promised Grandma I’d look after you , and I’m going to keep

promise .

In your condition , how could I leave you ? ”

Sienna stared at him in a daze .

‘ Can’t I There were times w when I was in even worse condition and he didn’t care at all ‘

“ Okay ” Sienna was too tired to argue and just nodded .

“ Thank you ,

then .

Josiah’s expression softened slightly .

“ Let’s go .

”

“ Alright .

” They walked side by side , keeping an arm’s length distance between them .

Not far away , the middle – aged man watched them quietly , his brow furrowed .

He had left earlier but hadn’t gone far .

Watching Josiah and Sienna’s figures disappear into the distance , he was puzzled .

He knew they were once married but also knew they didn’t get along .

Four years ago , Josiah had sent Sienna abroad .

He thought .

‘ So.

Sienna has already come back .

Are they still together now ? ”
