Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 11

The living room was all dolled up, screaming the Harrison's taste from every corner.

Gripping Josefina's hand, Hattie spilled the beans, "Josie, your dad and I didn't see it coming – the hospital nurses mixing up the babies. If the Antonio family hadn't reached out, we'd be none the wiser. We never imagined that Lena wasn't our flesh and blood. Bringing you back is just the best."

Garrett was all gooey-eyed and super soft on Josefina. "Sweetpea, make yourself at home. Whatever floats your boat, just do it. We're loaded, so feel free to splurge on whatever you fancy."

He whipped out a sleek black card and stuffed it into Josefina's palm. "Here's a card for you. Shop till you drop. The sky's the limit, or should I say five billion?"

Hattie followed suit with another black card. "This is a little something from mom. Keep it and spend it however you like. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters."

Josefina stared at the two black cards in her hands and casually placed them on the table. "Thanks, but no thanks. I'm good. I've got my own stash."

Garrett and Hattie figured Josefina was just shy, playing coy since she just got back. How could a kid have their own cash, right?

But Josefina wasn't joking – she was dead serious about having her own dough.

With puppy dog eyes, Garrett and Hattie shoved the cards back into Josefina's hands. "My darling daughter, just take them, okay? It's just a token of our love. I'd be heartbroken if you turned it down."

Only a cold heart could stand to see a beauty cry. So, Josefina caved and took the cards.
