Miss Josafina: Nobody’s Princess ( Josafina and Lauren )

Chapter 10 

Oliver, “Grandpa, aren’t you flying solo too?” 

Brandon was taken aback. “You cheeky brat, now that you’ve come up in the world, you dare to poke fun at your grandad for being a bachelor!” 

Oliver, “Grandpa, I’m just telling it like it is.” 

Brandon, “You little brat, are you really gonna bail on your engagement to the Antonio family?” 

Oliver, “Grandpa, we’re not living in old times anymore. Was I ever on board with this arranged marriage? That was a deal between you and Grandpa Antonio. It’s got nothing to do with me.” 

Brandon shakes his head. “You haven’t even met the girl from the Antonio family. How can you be sure she’s not the one?” 

Oliver, “Even if she’s Miss Universe, I’m not into it.” 

Brandon’s face turned the color of thunder, fuming, “Could it be you’re into that little sprite who used to chase you around?” 

Oliver, with a face as cold as a robot devoid of emotions. “What’s she to me? Nothing!” 

Brandon, so mad he could punch someone, saw Oliver acting all nonchalant and pointed a trembling finger at him. “So what’s your deal, huh? You don’t like the girl chasing you, and you’re not into the one you’re engaged to. Who do you actually like? Is it that girl who just left? Or… you’re not… gay, are you?” 

With his usual icy gaze, Oliver said, “Grandpa, since you’re fine, I’m outta here.” 

Oliver took off, leaving Brandon steaming. He called Bennett over to do some digging on Josefina and see what she was all about. Who knows, maybe they could reel her in as a granddaughter–in–law? 

Back in the car, Josefina and Ryan headed towards the Harrison family mansion. The Harrison estate was tucked away near Pearl Bay, nestled against the mountains and waters, with fresh air and a tranquil environment. 

The car stopped in front of a mansion, and Ryan, ever respectful, opened the door. “Miss Josefina, we’re home.” Josefina, backpack in tow, stepped out and was a bit taken aback by the gorgeous villa. 

Were her biological parents loaded? Talk about hitting the jackpot! 

Josefina’s gaze landed on a couple standing at the entrance – a dashing middle–aged hunk with an air of elegance and a well–preserved beauty with tears in her eyes. Together, they were quite a sight for sore eyes. 

Garrett and iattie also set eyes on Josefina, their daughter, and were visibly moved to tears. 

Josefina exuded a confidence that spok

Stranger to grand occasions. 

Garrett and Hattie, overwhelmed with emotion, approached Josefina. Hattie, hugging Josefina, cried a river. “My poor girl.” 

With misty eyes, Garrett studied at Josefina’s face, his

The raw emotion Josefina’s biological parents showed was something she wasn’t used to. She had never been held like this by her mom… nor had she heard such tender words. 

Hattie looked at Josefina’s delicate face, her eyes brimming with tears. Josefina had inherited the best features from both Hattie and Garrett, surpassing the sophistication from which she sprang, with exquisite

features, upturned eyes, glowing skin, and a clear, spirited gaze shining bright with stars. 

Josie, come. Let’s go inside and rest a bit. I’ve prepared lunch for us. Let’s have a good meal as a family.” 

Hattle was excited and happy. She took Josefina by the hand while Garrett carried her bag. They all head inside.
