Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 9

Upon hearing this, Oliver resignedly said, “Grandpa, this is Josefina, the one who saved you.”

The moment Brandon heard that, his face fell. He watched the stunning Josefina and then glanced at his eldest grandson and couldn't help but think they looked like a match made in heaven.

If she wasn't his granddaughter-in-law now, who was to say she wouldn't be in the future? With that thought, Brandon’s mood was sweet as honey, all sunshine and rainbows.

The usually formidable old man was now grinning like a Cheshire cat.

Josefina was totally confused. The kindly old chap had thrown her for a loop.

Oliver’s brow furrowed. With just one look, he knew his grandpa was up to something.

Brandon, all charm and smiles, said warmly, “Josie, thanks a million for saving me. You literally brought me back from the brink. I’ve gotta properly show my gratitude.”

Josefina, ever so gracious, replied, “Oliver has already compensated me for the medical expenses. No need to mention it. As a doctor, it’s just what I do.”

Brandon leaned against the headboard, gazing at the polite and generous Josefina, and felt genuinely pleased. “But that simply won’t do. You saved my life, and I must properly thank you. Josie, are you seeing anyone?”

Caught off guard by Brandon’s question, Josefina paused but then answered under his hopeful gaze, “No, I’m not.” She responded because he reminded her of her mentor – that same kind and gentle demeanor made her miss her mentor a little.

Oliver noticed Josefina’s discomfort and said icily, “Grandpa, it seems you’re quite alright now.”
