?Chapter 1285:


    Even though it was just two kids ying house, the way he filmed it made it look like a movie scene.


    Afterward, Nina took Jerome to meet some of the neighborhood kids—casually introducing him as her groom.


    n eventually wandered over and watched for a moment beforementing, “Look at Nina, aren’t you worried?”


    Wasn’t Jesse the super overprotective one just days ago? Why so calm now?


    “She dumped Jerome for Nick just the other day. Give it a couple years—she’ll fall for someone new and forget all this,” Jesse said coolly, well aware of how his sister operated.


    n paused at that.


    Once Jesse finished recording the footage he wanted, he turned and asked, “You still talk to any of the kids you yed with when you were little?”


    “Nope,” n replied honestly. Most childhood friendships didn’tst. Only a lucky few did.


    “If she’s just going to forget about it, then why are you filming it?” n asked, looking confused.


    “For ckmail. Stuff I can use on her when she’s older,” Jesse answered without missing a beat. His sister wasn’t exempt.


    What? n stared at him,pletely stunned. He never expected a four-year-old to inspire such long-term scheming.


    “You’re not keeping dirt on me, are you?”


    “No.” Jesse didn’t collect dirt unless he had a reason. “She asked me to film it. When she falls for someone else, I’ll show this to remind her.”


    “You really are a good brother,” n muttered, both impressed and slightly rmed.


    With a brother like that, Nina didn’t stand a chance.


    Good thing Jesse adored her. Otherwise, n would seriously be concerned for her future.<fn7b62> Updates are released by find?novel</fn7b62>

    Nina, of course, wasn’t thinking about any of that. Even if she knew, she’d dere she was going to love Jerome forever.


    In the days that followed, Jesse and Nina diligently made up the sses they had missed. Since most of the sessions were either one-on-one or two-on-one, n personally handled their scheduling with the tutors.


    By the end of summer break, their calendar was crammed from top to bottom.


    And just like that, summer came to a close.


    Freya and Ellis were also preparing to return home.


    Two days before they arrived, Nina stumbled upon something surprising. Her eyes went wide as she turned to her brother.


    “You’re sure that day Jerome wanted me to hang out with him was his birthday?”


    “Yeah.” Jesse nodded. “His mom mentioned it when we were at her ce today.”


    “What am I supposed to do now?” Nina, who always treated birthdays like national holidays, lookedpletely deted, her lovely eyes clouded with disappointment. “If I’d known it was Jerome’s birthday that day, I would have dropped everything and rushed back to celebrate with him.”
