This wasnt his first visit since it was where Hervey lived.

When h rang the doorbell, Hervey opened the door.

Hervey stepped aside, inviting him in.

Inside, Howard was sitting on the couch, waiting for him.

A smile appeared on Josiahs face as he looked around, Whats the secret business that you wanted to talk about ! Howards face turned serious as he stood up and extended his arm.

Josiah quickly grabbed a cane and handed it to him.

Howard Thank you.

Howard look the cane and glanced at his brother.

Howard said, I want you to meet someone ... Taking a deep breath, he grasped the doorknob and gently turned it.

The door creaked Josiah pecked inside.

The simple room was a little messy but tidy enough, with things arranged around the edges and a carper in the center.

and on the carpet sat a small boy, maybe three years old, totally focused on playing with LEGO blocks. Josiah was taken aback and shot a questioning look at Howard Before he could say anything.

Howard quietly closed the door behind them, so the child wouldnt be startled.

Josiah was at a loss for words, feeling a mix of surprise and confusion.

He had so many questions but couldnt find a place to start.

He wondered, Who is this kid? Where did he cfrom? Why is he hiding out at Herveys place With Howard heing so serious, could this kid be Howard met Josiahs shocked gaze, a small smile at the corners of his mouth.

As you suspect, he is mine Josiahs eyes widened, disbelief flooding through him.

Then it all clicked ever since Howard woke up, he had asked Hervey to find someone.

Now it made sense that the person he was looking for was this child, and possibly the childs mother.

One couldnt i ignore a womans intuition.

Recently, Yvette had been wondering if Howard had someone else, though she didnt have any hard proof. After processing this shocking news, Josiah turned to his brother .

What is your plan, Howard? He changed his question.

Will you tell Yvette ! Before Howard could answer, Josiah said seriously.

Howard, dont forget your promises to Yvette ! Without her, you wouldnt be survived! Howard frowned, showing line emotion.

Calm down; this child was unexpected.

I never meant to betray Yvette or abandon her.

Josiah swallowed hard, trusting Howard.

He motioned toward the room.

Howard gestured toward the study.

I will talk about this.

Alright To understand the current situation, one must go back to the car accident that involved Howard years ago.

The crash had left him in a coma clearly more than just bad luck.

Josiah and Miranda had suspected something was off and had quietly looked into it.

But their search had turned up line useful information.

Even the police had spent months investigating with no leads worth following.

Hearing Howard mention it, Josiahs expression darkened.

They still havent shown any remorser Howard remained calm in his soothing voice.

Unfortunately for them, I didnt die Now that Howard was awake, any future threats against him would be met with resistance.

Old issues needed to be dealt with.

That child was an unplanned baby.

Josiah felt he shouldnt blHoward.

However, he knew Yvette might not be as understanding 1/2 1:42 PM 190 Chapter 235 Since the child was Howards blood, he must not be left to wander.

For now, its best to keep it a secret from Yvette.

Josiah expressed concern.

Howard, that child should grow up in the Flynn family.

So what about the childs mother? Howard said sharply.

The childs mother merely gave birth to him.

There is nothing between us Hearing this, Josiah let out a sigh of relief that reassured him .

Howard, dont worry too much.

Give Yvette stime; I trust she will cto understand After all, this was an unexpected situation.

Howards feelings for Yvette hadnt changed at all.

Howard nodded, worry showing on his brow.

Lets hope so.

In the afternoon, as Sienna left the hospital.

Joyce was already feeling much better, which let her relax a bit.

After returning to the Lightning Dance, she waited for Josiah to arrive right at her usual t.

As he buckled his seatbelt, Josiah cleared his throat a few times.

Sienta frowned, Whats with the coughing? Are you sick? Not at all.

Josiah paused, shaking his head.

Its just been so dry lately; my throat feels parched.

Sienna nodded, deciding not to ask more.

That evening, while they relaxed, Sienna leaned against Josiah and said Tomorrow night, Im invited to En: dinner at Rosies place.

I have friends 100; sometimes I need to catch up with my girlfriends What gossip needs an entire evening? Josiah complained. Sienna puffed her cheeks in playful annoyance.

Seeing her like this, Josiah realized that arguing about it would probably make her mad.

He gave in.

Fine, just one night, okay! Sienna smiled and lifted her head to kiss him, and he pulled her closer, deepening the kiss.

When the kiss ended, Josiah held her wrist.

By the way.

The moment the thief took it, we got word.

But its damaged and needs to go back to the store for repairs He leaned down to kiss her again.

Theyll send it back when its fixed, but it will take stime.

Sienna nodded, thinking about how troublesit was to maintain a life o of luxury.

The night passed quietly.
