Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 253

Josefina snickered and playfully pinched his side. “Really, Oliver? Jokes at a time like this?”

“I’m dead serious, no jokes. How about I prove my sincerity tonight?” Oliver’s gaze was filled with a intense, earnest affection.

Rowan yelped in pain, while Shay and Sydney, who had never seen Oliver’s tender side, exchanged glances of stunned surprise.

Oliver let go of Josefina’s slender waist and took her hand. His eyes sharpened as he turned his piercing gaze toward Rowan. Shay and Sydney still wore their initial expressions of astonishment. Having never seen Oliver’s kinder side, they were indeed shocked.

Shay’s voice was hollow with disbelief. “But you are my brother...”

“Shut it. My mother has only one child, and that’s me. Don’t let me hear you call me that again.” Oliver was fuming.

Shay bit her lip, looking both heartbroken and forlorn.

Sydney couldn’t tolerate Oliver’s treatment of her darling daughter. She burst out in rage. “Oliver, Shay is your Josie, and now we’re all family. How can you speak to her like that?”

Rowan clutched his neck, and his hands were bloody. He also spoke out angrily, “Oliver, Shay is my daughter. What gives you the right to say that to her!”

Oliver, holding Josefina’s hand, let out a scornful chuckle. “The money you’re spending is from the company I run. Without my money, could you live so comfortably?”

Oliver added curtly, “I can’t waste more time with you all.” He was wasting precious moments!

Oliver then turned to Josefina with a softer tone. “Josie, let me take you downstairs. It’s too noisy here, and the air is just foul.”

Oliver had a pair of captivating eyes, warm and inviting, making it all too easy to get lost in their depths. He was usually so distant with others, but not with Josefina.
