Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 234

"Shay, leave!"

Oliver's voice was another ear-piercing blast, deafening as Shay covered her face and ran away.

Oliver swung open the passenger door and helped Josefina out. Josefina spoke with displeasure, "You did that on purpose."

His voice was tender and doting as he replied, "Only way to let everyone know I'm taken, and no one can mess with my love life." He lifted Josefina out, and she, startled, clung to his neck.

Shay, from a distance, watched the entwined figures, her heart turning to ice.

...

Standing in Oliver's living room, Josefina stared at the array of herbal supplements he'd laid out, dumbfounded. "Did you take me here just to show me these?"

Oliver arched an eyebrow, his smirk rogue and unrestrained, "What else did you think I wanted?" He did want something else, but he feared upsetting Josefina.

Josefina's face flushed, and she quickly lowered her head in embarrassment. "That's not what I meant."

She reached for a bottle of Ginseng, inspecting it closely, "Oliver, how come you have such fine supplements at home?"

"I had someone find these for you, for your research. The medicine you prepared for my grandfather must've included some fancy herbs, so I gathered these. See if they're of any use."

Josefina was in need of these supplements, and even more stunned by Oliver's grand gesture. Talk about deep pockets.
