Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 1120

Josefina: "..."

Was it really that obvious?

"If Oliver's got the wrong idea, I'm here to clear things up," Caiden offered.

"No need," Josefina replied with a smile.

"He cares about you a lot. He might be a bit jealous," Caiden said knowingly.

Josefina explained, "Oliver does get jealous, but it's not the crazy kind. It's because he cares, and I totally get that. Trust me, stuff like this won't mess us up."

Caiden slowed down, matching Josefina's stride, a grin spreading across his face.

"That's great. If he ever doesn't get it, I'm here to help explain. I wouldn't want to be the reason things get awkward between you two."

Josefina glanced at Caiden, thinking his words sounded a bit... sneaky? But she quickly brushed it off. Caiden wasn't that kind of guy, right?

She unconsciously picked up her pace. "Don't worry, I know Oliver better than anyone. He's my guy, after all. I totally get him."

Listening from just outside, Oliver couldn't help but grin at her words. Josefina gave him a bit of sunshine, and he was ready to shine bright.

He walked up to Josefina, beaming. "Hey, babe, you're out! Did you get enough to eat?"

Josefina: "..."

Why did Oliver's smile seem a bit... mischievous? Almost like he was up to something.

"Oliver, are you okay?"

Wrapping an arm around Josefina's waist, Oliver's eyes were full of affection. "I'm fine, just missed you a little."

Caiden: "..."

Was Oliver putting on a show just for him?

Caiden cleared his throat. "Mr. Oliver, I've got your lady here safe and sound. I'll be heading out."

Oliver: "Thanks for bringing my wife out."

Caiden: "..."

At the lab, Josefina noticed Percy and Mandy hadn't returned yet. They were off at a more advanced lab, caught up in Dominic's investigation.

She called over a middle-aged man. "Professor Hall, could you run some tests on these? I've sent the details to your phone. Please take a look."

"Got it," Professor Hall said, taking the items from her.

Oliver took Josefina's hand. "Josie, you can't keep wearing yourself out like this. It's not good for your health."

"I've already handed the experiments over to someone else. I'm just giving instructions. If I stayed home, I'd be bored out of my mind."

"How could you be bored? If you want new clothes, I can have the mall brought to you. Want to watch a movie? We've got a home theater. Your parents could come over to keep you company. Doesn't that sound nice?"

Josefina shook her head. "Not at all."

Oliver rubbed his forehead, wondering how that life could not be appealing.

Just then, Josefina's phone rang. It was Percy.

"Josie, the tests are done."
