Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 762

Oliver wiped the sweat off his forehead with a towel, saying, "Hey Josie, I'm gonna hit the shower. Just hang tight for a bit, okay?"

Josefina stood there, momentarily at a loss for words.

She tried to catch up with Oliver to ask him more, but he'd already disappeared into the bathroom.

The sound of water splashing reached Josefina as she sat by the door, feeling a bit silly.

Her eyes wandered, catching a glimpse of the slightly translucent bathroom door. "Seriously, Oliver? Who has a see-through bathroom door? Such a creep," she muttered, trying to shake off the awkward vibe by looking elsewhere.

After fidgeting on the couch for a few minutes, Josefina couldn't sit still any longer and decided to step outside.

Oliver had a thing for roses, planting a whole garden of them, and even installed a swing set. Josefina found herself swinging back and forth, waiting for Oliver to finish his shower.

After a while, she glanced around but didn’t see Oliver coming her way. Instead, she caught him taking a break, sipping some water.

Growing impatient, Josefina dashed back inside. "Oliver, where's Robot #1? Reid gave it to me as a gift, and you've just gone and moved it without a word. Reid’s gonna freak out!"

"I thought you were in a rush, but it seems you're not," Oliver remarked casually, taking a seat across from her.

Josefina, clearly annoyed, said, "Can you at least put on a shirt? If we're gonna talk, can we do it with you fully clothed, please?"

"It's too hot," Oliver shrugged.

Standing up, Josefina demanded, "Hurry up and show me where the robot is. I need to head back. Reid’s waiting at home, and I don’t want him to worry. This whole mess is on you."

Oliver stood up, closing the space between them. Josefina could catch the fresh scent from his shower, and she couldn't help but notice his tan skin and sculpted physique, better than any of her brothers.

"Have you lost your mind? I told you it was a gift from Reid, and you stashed Robot #1 in the freezer? Are you nuts?" Josefina couldn’t hide her frustration.

"I’m not crazy. It’s just that Reid’s robot wasn’t up to scratch. So, it's Reid who’s not up to scratch."

Josefina couldn’t help but laugh at Oliver's logic. "Are you trying to drive me or Reid insane with this logic?"

"I just wanted to give him some friendly advice," Oliver quipped as he opened the fridge door.

Inside, Robot #1 was indeed frozen solid. Josefina was at a loss for words, wondering how she’d ever explain this to Reid.

"If Reid finds out you've frozen Robot #1, he’s gonna lose it," she imagined aloud, picturing Reid's outrage at the sight of his frozen gift, probably wanting to throttle Oliver.
