Chapter 65

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

Josiah quickly looked up toward Sienna’s apartment .

It was the same there .

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“ That’s just the way it is ,” Sienna replied , “ 12th Avenue is an impoverished neighborhood and many of the lines are outdated and frequently need repairs ,” Things like this were naturally beyond the understandin g of Josiah , who had grown up in a wealthy neighborhood .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 come up 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 came to 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 cabinet for 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 told me when 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 expect me to 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 .

“ Ah ! ” Sienna screamed , dropping the candle and jumping up in fright .

“ 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 or not , but he 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 some cockroach 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 put me down .”

“ Okay .” Josiah replied as he held her but didn’t immediately let go .

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 ? ”

1- ” He didn’t speak as his heart pounded heavily in his chest , making his breaths feel hot .

Holding her , his grip slowly tightened as he lowered his head , inching closer .

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

He wanted to kiss her right at this moment , BEND OFT
