Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 1178

"Oliver, why are you even jealous of my own brother? That's really not a good look, you know."

"Josie, I'm not being jealous. I'm just stating the obvious. Does Calix have a body like mine? You feel it every day, don’t you?"

Oliver's words were straightforward, and Josefina couldn't help but blush as memories of their intimate moments flashed in her mind.

"I need to step out for a bit."

As Josefina made her way to the door, Oliver gently pulled her back.

"Don't go out. Just take a nap in the lounge."

After a hearty meal, it was easy to feel sleepy, and Josefina was no exception.

She headed to the lounge to catch some Z's.

No sooner had she laid down than Oliver joined her.

"Oliver, don't you have work to do?" Josefina asked, surprised. She knew Oliver as someone who never took a lunch break.

Holding her close, Oliver replied, "Work isn't as important as being with you, Josie. You're the most important."

Josefina was at a loss for words.

She met his gaze, realizing he had truly changed.

The Oliver before their intimacy had eyes as calm as a still lake.

The Oliver after was different—his eyes were filled with a possessive intensity.

The contrast was striking.

Right now, she could feel the change in his body.

So...

Josefina quickly shut her eyes. "Let's sleep."

Oliver smiled silently, wrapping his arms around her as they drifted off.

...

Calix came back home with some powdered medicine and handed it to Josefina.

Just then, Hattie walked in.

Seeing the tension between the two, she hurried over.

"Carter, Oliver, what's going on between you two?" Hattie asked. "Oliver, has Carter been giving you a hard time?"

Calix was stunned. "Mom, seriously? You're siding with him over your own son?"

Hattie chided, "Carter, that's a harsh thing to say. Oliver is family, too. How can you accuse me of being unfair? Do you really think your mom is that unreasonable?"

Calix was at a loss for words.

It stung. Clearly, he was the one being wronged, yet Hattie made it sound like he was the bully. It only added to his frustration.

"Mom, honestly, you're my mom. How can this be my fault? Let me explain what happened..."

Calix laid out the situation in detail.

He expected Hattie to take his side, but things didn’t go as he hoped.
