Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 1153

Darren looked at Josefina as if she was a miracle worker, his eyes shining with hope. Josefina felt like she was carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. "Darren, I get what's going on here. I think it’s best to send a few more people to check the perimeter."

"I've already got folks on that," Darren said, feeling the pressure pounding in his head. "Nobody's catching any shut-eye tonight until we get to the bottom of this."

He just couldn’t relax until everything was sorted out.

Makiko chimed in, "I love fish."

He put his fork down and stood up. "If you’re not into it, just toss it out when I’m gone. Get the kind you actually enjoy."

Brandon shook his head again. "Bennett, let’s head back. Who needs an old guy like me?"
