Chapter 576
"Wow, this seafood is amazing. It feels just like we're back at Rose Bay Island. Rosa, seeing you enjoy the food here makes me really happy."
Grant had brought a selection of seafood, hoping to surprise Josefina by cooking for her himself. But now, with the current situation, he couldn't bring himself to present his surprise, feeling a pang of disappointment.
Oliver, without saying a word, attentively poured water for Josefina and peeled
shrimp for her, showing care in every small gesture.
Seeing this, Grant's eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head, sipping on his seafood chowder.
Soon, another dish arrived-sweet and sour pork ribs.
Josefina looked surprised. "Didn't we skip ordering this?"
Grant was also taken aback since it was one of his favorite dishes.
Did Josefina order it for him?
Oliver spoke up, "I ordered this for Grant. Josie, didn't you say he loves this dish? They don't normally serve it here, but I asked the chef to make an exception."
Oliver glanced at Grant. "Go ahead, give it a try."
Grant was surprised by Oliver's gesture. Wasn't there animosity between them? Why would Oliver go out of his way to do something nice?
Before Grant could feel touched, Oliver added, "You're Josie's brother, which makes you family. So, Grant, buddy, how's the chef's sweet and sour pork?"
Grant was speechless. It was all about keeping him away from Josefina!
He picked up his fork and tried a rib, his face lighting up with surprise. It was delicious.
Even without words, Josefina could tell how much he enjoyed it.
After dinner, Oliver turned to Josefina. "Josie, I'll drive you home. Grant can take my car back to the hotel."
Grant raised an eyebrow. "Oliver, you brought me here. Why do I have to go back alone?"
Oliver gave him a meaningfu
surprise in his tone. "Grant, you wouldn't let Josie go home alone, right? It's late, and it's not safe for her to travel by herself
Grant was taken aback. Oliver, that cunning fox!
Josefina couldn't help but stifle a laugh, pressing her lips together.
Oliver continued, "Grant, is this how you used to look after Josie? Because I gotta
say, you're no match for her three brothers now."
Grant was speechless. Oliver was infuriating!
Josefina quickly interjected, "Grant, let Oliver drive you back. I can drive myself home."
Grant insisted, "Josie, I'll take you home. Oliver can drive himself."
Oliver had a quick response. "If you take Josie home, you'll have to come back to the hotel, wasting time. The close to Josie, so it's my way. Josie's all about being practical, and you seem a bit extravagant."
Grant was at a loss for words. Oliver made him look like the bad guy who neither protected Josefina nor cared about practicality.
Grant finally said, "Rosa, I'll take your car then. I've got a license too."
Before Josefina could respond, Oliver quickly interjected, "Sure, just be safe on the road."
Oliver took Josefina's hand and hurried her towards the parking lot, as if he was afraid Grant would follow.
When they parked, Oliver made sure to leave some distance between their cars. Now, Grant understood.
Oliver's possessiveness was off the charts. He wondered if Josie
