Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 601

Oliver pulled into his garage, parking his car with a sense of relief. He got out first and then gently lifted Josefina from the passenger seat.

Josefina snuggled into him, serene and quiet, like a modern-day Sleeping Beauty.

Oliver cradled her with the utmost care, like she was the most precious thing in the world. Once inside, he carried her upstairs to his bedroom, placing her softly on his bed and slipping off her high heels.

Josefina slowly opened her eyes, hazy and alluring from the alcohol. Oliver’s throat tightened as he knelt beside the bed, his face close to hers, his voice a mix of worry and warmth. "Josie, do you want some water? Do you know who I am?"

Josefina giggled, her eyes twinkling with mischief, captivating him entirely. "You're so handsome," she said, reaching up to touch his face, her touch cool and pleasant.

Feeling the heat rising in him, Josefina pulled Oliver’s head down to her chest. Oliver hadn’t expected to find himself in such an intimate position. The scent of alcohol mixed with her perfume made him flush with warmth.

He quickly pulled away, determined not to take advantage of the situation. He didn’t want Josefina to wake up angry or regretful; he wanted to respect her wishes. "Josie, let me get you some water."

Oliver stood up and fetched a glass of warm water, easy for her to drink. When he turned back, Josefina had taken off her blazer, revealing a black spaghetti strap top underneath.

Oliver steadied his emotions, returning to her side. "Josie, drink some water."

Worried about her, he returned to the room. Not finding Josefina in bed, he panicked. "Josie, where are you?"

He frantically searched the room, seeing no signs of an open window, and continued to the bathroom. Hearing the sound of running water, he rushed in.

Josefina was in the bathtub, the water rising to cover her as Oliver walked in, catching a fleeting glimpse before it was obscured. He quickly turned off the water as it reached her delicate collarbones.

Josefina leaned back against the tub, the clear water revealing nothing as Oliver averted his gaze. Concerned for her safety, he turned his head away, suggesting, "Josie, you can't stay in too long. Let me carry you back to bed soon."
