Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 333

Billy paced the room, his sighs filling the space like a melancholic symphony. "Stupid, stupid me! I should've never let Josefina slip away. She was the goose that laid the golden eggs for our family, my lucky star. It's all because of you all, hounding me at every turn, driving away my good fortune."

His anger was like a tempest too fierce to be contained. Lauren's argument with him reminded Ruby once again that she could only rely on herself.

...

When Josefina arrived back home, Annika greeted her with a refreshing glass of lemonade.

Lena followed, sitting on the couch with a restless heart. Hattie and Garrett, on the other hand, were over the moon, exchanging glances that were filled with unabashed joy.

Hattie took Josefina's hand, her voice a gentle coo, "Josie, I couldn’t believe that you are the great designer Anya, so talented and learned. It's no wonder you're so skinny with all that on your plate."

Garrett chimed in, "I've asked the kitchen to whip up some of Josie's favorites to help fatten her up a bit."

Hattie, bubbling with excitement, exclaimed, "Josie's an Ivy graduate, a famous designer, and also a genius healer to boot. My precious Josie, how did you get so incredible? To think, I'm her mother. Wow, I must be pretty amazing myself."

Hattie couldn't stop laughing, heaping praise upon Josefina.

Josefina basked in the compliments, her cheeks flushed with happiness. Hattie and Garrett didn't press her on other matters. They were content just singing her praises, and it was a distinctly different feeling for Josefina.

They were concerned only for Josefina's wellbeing, seemingly unbothered by her concealed identity.

They might not have shown anger, but Lena had a voice and she wasn't afraid to use it. Lena probed, "Josie, why didn't you tell mom and dad about your other life before?"
