Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 593

Dawn was breaking as Livia strolled through the park, leash in hand and her faithful dog, Bobby, trotting alongside her. Out of nowhere, Finley appeared, clutching a bag of breakfast goodies as he tried to catch up with her.

"Bobby, let's head back home. We've got company," Livia said, a hint of disdain in her voice as she pulled Bobby away from Finley.

Panting, Finley finally caught up with her. "Livia, I brought you breakfast."

Livia kept walking, barely glancing in his direction. Ever since she embraced her true self, the once docile Livia had transformed into a confident woman who no longer cared for Finley's affections. She was now carefree and happier than ever. It seemed like Livia genuinely disliked Finley now, a far cry from the discontented Shanna she once was.

Livia had stumbled upon her old diaries and realized she was meant to be a spirited and free young lady, not someone to be pitied or walked over.

"Finley, why don't you bring breakfast to Shay instead of bothering me? Bobby's happy with me. If you don't want to take care of him, I'll do it. Tell me how much you need, and I'll wire it to your account."

Finley's spirits sank further at Livia's icy demeanor.

He hung his head, following her like a downtrodden spouse, all the way to the foot of her apartment building. Impatiently, Livia snapped, "Finley, can't you just leave me alone? Are you that desperate?"

With a bitter smile, Finley replied, "Can't we just be friends, Livia?"

"You're pathetic, Finley. You didn't want me when I was available, and now that I'm over you, you come sniffing around. What, is this fun for you? Always wanting what you can't have?"

"Livia, I..."

"Enough. Go find your precious Shay," she cut him off, pulling Bobby into the elevator. Finley was left outside, heartbroken.

...

"If there's something troubling you, you can tell me. I'll help you carry the burden," she offered.

But Finley remained unmoved, eyes still staring at nothingness above.

"Shay, I really am fine. Just tired, that's all. No need to worry about me."

Maintaining her poise, Shay kept up her gracious smile. "Alright then, get some rest," she said, and left without another word.

As she exited, she ran into Mary, Finley's housekeeper. With a friendly smile, she approached Mary. "Mary, what skincare have you been using lately? Your skin looks so much better!"

Flattered by the compliment, Mary beamed. "Miss Shay, you flatter me. But if we're talking about great skin, yours is truly flawless, the perfect porcelain complexion."
