Chapter 1549:
After Freya and Ellis gave their permission, Jerand the driver swung by to pick up Jesse and Nina.
Nina plopped down on the far left seat, with Jesse beside her and Jeron the other end.
She poked Jesse’s arm. “Jesse, can we switch seats?”
“NO!” Jesse's refusal cwithout hesitation.
“Jesse.” Nina tried again, her tone sugary.
“Pleading won't work,” Jesse shot back flatly.
“I want to sit in the middle to get the best view of the scenery up ahead,” Nina said, trying to sound casual. “All |
ever see are the side windows—it’s boring.”
Jesse's chubby cheeks were as cute as ever, but his round, dark eyes stayed blank. “You sure it’s just about the
scenery?”
“Yes!” Nina nodded like her life depended on it.
Jesse glanced at Jerome, then turned back. “And if it’s not?”
“I'll get a timeout,” Nina blurted without missing a beat.
Jesse stared at her for a second, then gave in and switched places.
Now in the middle, Nina giggled and snuck a little poke at Jerome.
Jerimmediately perked up. He pulled out a candy from his pocket and offered it to her. “Here.”
“Thanks, Jerome!” Nina reached for it, her eyes sparkling.

This was the closest they'd felt in days.
Like a proper little gentleman, he shed his usual cool demeanor. “Wantto unwrap it for you?”
“Yes!” Nina said happily, handing it right back to him.
This way, they could keep chatting a little longer.

“Remember what Mom and Dad said the other day?” Jesse spoke up, his eyes landing on their joined hands.
“I swear this is the last one,” Nina promised, her wide eyes full of innocence. “If | eat more, I'll be banned from
candy for a whole year.”
“You always say that.” Jesse didn’t hesitate to call Nina out. “No sweets allowed.”
“Jesse!” Nina huffed, clearly miffed.

“She has tooth decay,” Jesse pointed out matter-of-factly. “The dentist said no sweets at all.”
Nina was instantly deflated. She let out a little snort. It was clear that she was annoyed with Jesse's interference.
Hearing the words “tooth decay,” Jergently said, “Letsee.”
