Chapter 1651:
Damian pressed his lips together, too shy to say more.
Jesse stepped in, his tone light but helpful. “If he didn’t want to hang out, he wouldn't have spent all that time
with you before.”
Nina's eyes widened. “You're right.”
Damian stayed quiet, but the guarded look in his eyes had softened. Nina tilted her head, studying him.
“Damian, do you think I'm silly?”
“No,” he said simply.
Nina's face turned sheepish. “I'm sorry.”
Damian blinked, confused. “For what?”
“For getting you all wrong,” she said, her voice heavy with guilt. “You've been so kind, and | was mad at you for

Damian shook his head. “I should've told you what | was doing.” He'd only wanted to surprise her. He hadn't
meant to make her worry.
Kristian watched the two kids, his gaze drifting to Jesse.
Damian might be mature for his age, but next to Jesse’s calm wisdom, he still seemed like a kid finding his way.
Nina's eyes sparkled as she held the figurine. “Damian, can | ask you for a favor?”
Damian's face stayed steady. “What?”
Nina grinned, her excitement bubbling over. “Next t| visit, can you make a figurine of you? Then I'll have one
that looks like you, and you can have one that looks like me. We'll have matching keepsakes!”
Kristian raised an eyebrow, puzzled.
Jesse looked just as confused.
Damian froze for a moment, then softened. “You mean like this one?”

“Exactly!” Nina held up the doll, her smile bright. “It'll be like we're always together, even when I'm far away.”
The moment Nina finished her words, a phrase popped into Jesse's head—love token.
He shook it off immediately, realizing that sort of thing had no place between Nina and Damian.
“Alright,” Damian said, his voice calm.
Nina let out a joyful giggle, clearly over the moon.
Watching the two of them patch things up, Jesse decided not to hang around any longer. He headed back to his
room to call Freya and Ellis, letting them know they’d be flying back the next day. After giving them the flight
details, he thought about bringing up Nina—but after mulling it over, he couldn’t quite figure out how to ease
into the topic.
“What's wrong?” Freya picked up on his hesitation right away.
“Has Nina ever watched romantic s with you two?” Jesse asked cautiously, unsure if he even wanted to
know the answer. What if Nina really did like Damian?
Even though she’d always been close with Jerome, playing house and exchanging little gifts, this felt like it was
on a whole different level.
Freya glanced over at Ellis and shook her head. “Never.”
They rarely ever watched romantic s. At most, they might throw on a movie with slove subplot once
in a while, but Nina was never around when they did.
