Chapter 954

Josefina's eyes lit up with excitement. "Annika, you're amazing! You can do anything!"

"Ms. Josefina, if you want to eat it, there's nothing I can't whip up!" Annika replied confidently, pride evident in her culinary skills.

"Annika, could you pack this up for me? I want to take it to share with friends. They eat a lot, so make sure there's plenty," Josefina requested.

Annika flashed Josefina a knowing look, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "Ms. Josefina, are you planning to let Mr. Oliver have a taste?"

With a cheeky grin, Annika expertly packed two large bags. Josefina decided not to explain further-food tastes best when it's hot.

With the delicious packages in hand, Josefina headed straight to Oliver's place.

In the living room, a towering man named Nash sat waiting like a statue, his eyes lifeless until Josefina walked in. In that moment, his eyes lit up like fireworks on a dark night.

"Master!" Nash exclaimed, bounding over to Josefina with the glee of a child.

Josefina placed the food on the table, arranging the morning treats neatly. "Nash, did you wash your hands?"

"I did! I knew you were coming, so I got up early to get ready. Am I doing good, Master?"

Josefina chuckled, giving him a thumbs up and playfully tapping his forehead. "Our Nash is doing great. Come on, let's eat."

As Nash dove into the meal, Josefina noticed Oliver was nowhere in sight. She asked quietly, "Where's Oliver? Isn't he home?"

"Master, he went out late last night.

Concerned, Josefina quickly made her way to Oliver's bedroom. There, she found the bedcovers humped over his form Gently, she pulled back a corner.

"Oliver, why didn't you tell me you were hurt? I can help bandage you up. Where's the wound? Let me see."

A large hand emerged from beneath the covers, seizing her wrist and pulling her onto the bed beside him.

Startled, Josefina landed on the soft mattress, Oliver hovering above her with a playful glint in his eyes.

Her gaze inadvertently wandered

over his chiseled abs, her mind drifting further than it should. A blush crept up her cheeks, and she playfully pushed him. Olives Stop messing around. Let me see your wound."

Oliver leaned in closer, pinning her beneath him. "Josie, why don't you feel around and find it yourself?"

Josefina was momentarily speechless. Did Oliver just invite her to feel his body? "Oliver, this isn't the time to fool around. If your wound gets infected, you'll regret it." Oliver chuckled, taking her left hand with his right and placing it on his solid back. Josefina tried to pull away, but he held firm.

"Oliver, what were you doing out last night? Nash said you smelled of blood. Were you looking for Sydney?"

Oliver rolled to lie beside her, a sigh escaping his lips. "Sydney took Nichola and Dominic and vanished."

Josefina sat up, shock evident on her face. "Could they really leave all the Baldwin family's wealth behind?"
