This had been proven in their interactions over the past while.

He did have saffection for her, but it wasnt enough for her to let go of the past, much less to build a lasting future.

Faced with her resistant attitude, Josiah wanted to say something but stopped himself, only managing to bitterly twist his lips and drive in silence.

The car stopped in front of the apartment building.

Thanks Sienna turned to open the car door, only to find it locked.

If it werent for Joyce, would I be with someone who abandonedfor four years! Struck as if by a heavy blow, Josiah froze, his expression utterly blank.

Sienna took the chance to push him away and turned to get out of the car.

Sienna Josiah said, then suddenly, he leaned in and hugged her from behind, and his arm stretched out in front of her.

Josiah complained in a low voice, What am I supposed to do? I didnt like you before! I treated you badly. But I cant go back to the past.

Tell me, what should I do ? Josiah thought, How could I have anticipated this day back then? Siennas back stiffened, and she stared blankly out the car window, her voice cold as she aid, Then look forward.

She closed her eyes, a memory flashing through her mind of her boarding a plane alone to Fliraty four years ago You are already a thing of the past to me.
