Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 188

The atmosphere downstairs was warm and convivial as Robert descended the stairs with Brandon in tow.

Upon seeing Brandon's confident stride, Josefina greeted him with a smile, "Grandpa Brandon, you're up."

Brandon replie with an affectionate nod, "Josie, darling, I owe you one. If you hadn't arrived just in time, this old bag of bones would've been done for."

Oliver chimed in, "Josie, to thank you for saving my granddad. I've picked out a special gift for you."

A servant unveiled a box, within which lay a set of glittering jewelry. Earrings, a necklace, a ring, a tiara—everything was there.

Josefina was becoming almost immune to such extravagant gifts. Ever since her return to the Harrison family, the gifts she received from them had been eye-opening.

Then there was Oliver. The gifts he gave were even more astonishing.

Did these two families have more money than they could ever spend, all being lavished on her?

Still, Josefina declined the gift, insisting, "I was only doing what anyone would, and I really can't accept such valuable presents." She couldn't recall how many times she had repeated those words. Each time, they felt so familiar.

"Josie, please take it. I have nothing left but money, and compared to money, my life is surely more valuable. You saved my life, so you deserve these gifts."

Standing by Josefina's side, Oliver's voice was indulgent, his gaze upon her fiery with affection. "I picked these out just for you. Please accept them."

Robert gave Josefina a knowing look. "Josie, since it's from your Grandpa Brandon, you should take it. Money's what Brandon here has in spades. Don't be shy with him."

Brandon chuckled in defense, "Robert, you've got it wrong. What I'm short on isn't money—it's a granddaughter-in-law."
