Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 30

The couple always knew that Lena had a thing for Oliver, but the guy never tossed a crumb her way all these years. They tried to talk some sense into Lena, telling her that a forced love was no love at all, and with Oliver being such a hot-headed dude, they really didn’t want her hitching her wagon to his.

But today, they caught a glimpse of a different side of Oliver. It made them wonder if he had been body-snatched or something.

In the midst of the super awkward moment, Brandon cleared his throat and said, “Look, Lena, sorry about this, but Oliver’s just got no filter, you know?”

Lena was seething. Nice, Brandon really knew how to stick the knife in!

What was this “no filter” business? Was this really what was going on in Oliver’s head? Like, he had got eyes only for Josefina or what?

...

Brandon and Oliver had dinner at the Harrison family’s place, and there was Oliver, with his long fingers peeling a shrimp so smoothly and elegantly. After he had done, he placed the shrimp onto Josefina’s plate.

“Thanks, but I can peel my own,” Josefina said.

“You eat, and I’ll peel them for you. Don’t want to get your hands dirty,” went Oliver, with that voice of his that was like honey to Josefina’s ears. She was a sucker for a good voice.

Garrett spotted Oliver buttering up his girl and started to worry. “Honey, let dad peel those shrimps for you.”

Hattie chimed in, “I’ll peel for my girl.”

Hattie peeled two and handed one to Lena and one to Josefina.

Garrett did the same, making sure each of his girls got a shrimp.
