Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 841

Josefina tagged along with her grandparents to check in on Hunter. Poor Hunter had to take breaks often during his walks; age had slowed him down, making it tough for his body to clear out toxins quickly.

“Josie, my dear,” Hunter began, “We’re hosting a little shindig at my place tomorrow. It’s a chance to share some family news. Darrick’s been shown the door, and I don’t want him dragging our family’s reputation through the mud. You should come by.”

Josefina replied, “Hunter, my family hasn’t announced my identity to the public yet, so I’m not too keen on mingling. Plus, I’ve got a school tournament tomorrow. I’m sorry.”

Hunter had hoped Josefina would make it to the party, but he wouldn’t push her if she wasn’t up for it. “Josie, I know you’re busy. Maybe next time, then.”

Grandpa Robert added, “We can’t make it either. Josie’s got her competition, and we’ll all be there to cheer her on.”

Hunter felt a bit deflated. With the Harrison family out, what was the point of the party? “Well, if your family’s tied up, we’ll just have to catch up some other time.” He realized he'd need to let his family know about the change in plans.

Josefina then asked, “Hunter, do you know how Marina and Darrick crossed paths?”

Hunter explained, “He mentioned they met on a vacation. My digging confirmed that. Once he got back, he wanted to divorce my daughter-in-law Sandy. Neither of us agreed, which kicked up quite a fuss. Eventually, he moved out, and I never expected to end up in this state. If I’d known, I would’ve cut ties with him sooner.”

Josefina thought about how Rowan and Sydney had also met on a trip—a familiar scenario.

Hunter asked, “Josie, do you know something?”

Josefina speculated, “I suspect Marina has someone guiding her; otherwise, she wouldn’t have met Darrick.”
