Chapter 95

Chapter 95 Chapter 95 What’s that scent on her ? How can it smell so good ? Josiah wondered .

“ Sienna , ” he began , trying to suppress the peculiar pull he felt .

“ What perfume are you wearing ? ”

“ Huh ? ” Sieniu froze for a second .

“ Perfume ?

Her lips curled slightly , almost imperceptibly .

She could barely afford shampoo , let alone perfiune .

“ I’m not wearing any , she replied matter – of – factly .

It’s probably just the smell of my shampoo ”

Once the Betadine dried , she carefully applied a bandage to the wound ..

“ All done ,” she said , letting go and tidying up before heading to throw away the trash .

“ Oh .

” Josiah muttered , nodding .

For reasons he couldn’t explain , he felt a faint wave of disappointment .

They left the pharmacy , and it was already late .

Zast drove them back to Lyceum Street , and Josiah got out to walk Sienna up to her apartment .

“ Gel sine rest .

Josiah said , stopping at the door but not entering .

“ Okay ,” Sienna replied , gesturing at the boxes on the floor .

“ Thanks ”

Although she could’ve bought them herself by queuing all night , saving this much money was undeniably thanks to him .

“ Aren’t you going to invite me in ? ” Josiah asked , a mischievous glint in his eye .

“ I had a bit to drink tonight , and I’m thirsty ”

Caught off guard , Sienna hesnated .

She felt awkward refusing after what he’d done for her .

To her surprise , though , he didn’t step in uninvited .

well ... Sienna moved aside .

“ Come in for a glass of water , then She didn’t own a water dispenser , so getting a drink meant boiling water .

As Sienna filled the kettle at the sink , disaster struck .

The faucet suddenly broke off , and a torrent of water shot out , drenching her completely .

“ Ah ! ” Sienna screamed , startled “ What happened ! ” Josiah jumped in alarm , spinning around to see her soaked and disheveled .

Without hesitation , he rushed over to help .

In the process , he too was hit by the spray , ending up as drenched as Sienna , Josiah wiped water from his face with a hand , glancing at the drencied woman in front of him .

He quickly grabbed her and pulled her aside .

“ Why are you just standing there ? Move ! ” he barker , positioning himself in front of her , With him blocking the water , the full force of the spray now soaked him instead .

From behind him .

Sienna watched guiltily .

“ I – I’m so sorry ... ”

“ So , why exactly are you living in a dump like this? Josiah growled , his face dark as thunder.

Every time he opened his mouth to speak , more water splashed in , leaving him sputtering , “ You should stop talking , Sienna murmured softly , a hint of amusement in her tone .

Josiah shot her a sharp glare before dragging her out of the bathroom .

Sienna tried to pull away .

“ I need to go downstairs and fix this , ” she said firmly , Leaving the water running wasn’t just wasteful .

It would flood her apartment and seep into the downstairs units , bringing angry neighbors to her door in no time .

Josiah frowned deeply .

“ She’s going to handle it ? How ? he wondered .

“ The shut – off valve is downstairs .

I’ll also need to buy a new faucet , “ Sienna explained , already heading out .

“ Stop right there ,” Josiah grabbed her arm , his expression unreadable , “ What do you think you’re doing ? Am I just here for decoration ? ”

Does she not see me standing here ? Why would I let her run around fixing this mess when I’m right herer he thought , exasperated .

“ Hey ,” Sienna protested , “ I can handle it myself ! ”

“ Sit tight , ” Josiah ordered without even looking back as he walked out .

Stunned , Sienna sat down , her mind swirling .

She couldn’t help but worry “ Can he really handle it ! Does he even know where the valve is ? Or how to buy a faucet ? ”

She might have underestimated Josiah .

Yes , he was a pampered rich kid , but he was also sharp .

When he didn’t know something , he wasn’t afraid to After a short wait , the sound of running water suddenly stopped .

Sienna leaped to her feet and rushed to the bathroom .

Her lips curved into a small , soft smile as she she it .

Josiah had found the shut – off valve and successfully stopped the water .

He should be able to get the faucet , right ? “ Sienna thought .

Ten minutes later , just as Sienna finished changing into dry clothes , Josiah returned .

One advantage of the mixed and chaotic 12th Avenue was its convenience , anything one needed was just a short walk away .

Josiah had noticed a hardware store on the comer as he passed by earlier .

“ You got it ? ” Sienna asked , reaching out .

“ Let me have it ”

“ Don’t move , ” Josiah said , gripping her wrist as he gave her a sidelong glance .

“ Why should I give it to you ? ”

Sienna blinked in confusion .

So I can replace it , of course .”

“ What ? ” Jonah narrowed his eyes again as he thought , “ What’s wrong with her ! Does she not see me as a man ?

“ Why should you be the one to replace it I’ll handle it .

You’re a girl .

Do you even know how to do this ? ” he said with a note of disbelief .

Sienna pressed her lips together and thought to herself , “ I do .

Maybe the Sienna Josiah knows doesn’t , but the Sienna who spent four years at Fliraty does .

It wasn’t just faucets.

She could change lightbulbs too .

In Mordonia , labor costs were outrageously high , and with her meager earnings , she couldn’t afford to hire anyone .

So , to save money , she learned to do it all herself Over time , she became pretty handy .

Josiah , unaware of this , shot her a look .

Til do it ”

Clearly , he was determined to prove himself , eager for her to see him as someone she could depend on “ Go get the tools ,” he said , tuming to head into the bathroom “ Oh , okay ” Sienna nodded , though she couldn’t help worrying .

Can someone as pampered as him really manage this ? she wondered .

To her surprise , Josiah could , and he did it well .

With his strength and efficiency , he had the faucet replaced in no time .

Sienna stood there , stunned .

She hadn’t expected him to handle it so effortlessly , Josiah noticed her expression , and the admiration in her eyes made him puff up with pride .

He raised an eyebrow smugly .

“ Done .

“ Okay , Sienna murmured , snapping out of it .

“ Thanks ”

She stood up , throwing him a quick line over her shoulder .

“ Wait here .”

“ Okay “ Josiah replied without question , obedient for once .

A moment later .

Sienna returned and looked straight at him .

“ Take off your shirt .”

Josiah’s arm shot up , crossing over his chest as he shook his head firmly .

“ No.

”

“ Huh ? ” Sienna was baffled .

What’s with that look ? Does he think nk I’m about to do something to him she wondered .

“ Don’t tell me you think I’m trying to ... what Seduce you or something ? ” she said , exasperated .

“ No , no , that’s not ... Josiah stammered , shaking his head .

Fed up .

Sienna tumed her back to him .

“ Take it off .

Give the wet shirt to me .

Chapter 1750 She was asking him to change out of his wet clothes .

But he couldn’t There was a secret on his back , a horrifying secret .

His skin was riddled with scars , deep and jagged , a haunting map of pain .

In this world , only two people besides himself knew about those scars , Howard and Yvette .

Even during his brief marriage to Sienna , the rare times they were making love , he’d insisted on keeping the lights off Josiah didn’t want her , or anyone , to see those marks , not now , not ever .

That chapter of his life was too dark , too painful to revisit .

Just the thought of it made him recoil .

His eyes shut tight , his face pale , and a cold shiver coursed through his body .

A faint tremor crept into his movements as he fought to steady himself Ex 色
