Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 996

Oliver wrapped an arm around her waist, looking deep into Josefina's eyes, which sparkled like ripe blackberries.

"You promised, remember? You have to tell your parents."

"Of course, I'll let them know. Don't worry," Josefina assured him, playfully tousling his hair.

Oliver’s face felt cool, and noticing he seemed a bit off, Josefina added, "Really, I'll talk to them. But I should head back now; it's getting late."

"I'll walk you home," Oliver offered, getting to his feet.

Josefina gently pushed him back into his seat. "No need, I'll manage. Remember, we're supposed to act like we didn't meet."

Sticking to her plan, Josefina shared a few more words with Oliver before making her way out.

...

Once home, everything felt normal, like no one had even thought about marriage.

Josefina cheerfully greeted everyone, enjoyed dinner, and even played a round of chess with her grandpa.

She didn't mention the proposal at all, not until she was upstairs, lounging on the couch, cozy from the warmth of the heater.

Just then, a knock came at the door.

Her mom, Hattie, called out, "Josie, it’s Mom. Can I come in?"

Josefina opened the door with a smile, "Of course, come on in."

They exchanged a warm, knowing glance, their eyes twinkling with shared secrets.

Hattie, in her pajamas, settled on the couch beside Josefina.
