Chapter 1248:
When they pulled up to the house, Nina didn’t wait for the door to open. She hopped out and tugged Jerome
along by the hand, heading straight into the house.
Alan and Jesse stayed behind, watching in silence, each with their own thoughts.
For the rest of the morning, Nina and Jerplayed together like they'd known each other forever.
Alan settled next to Jesse on the couch and leaned back with a smirk. “Is she always this into someone after one
meeting?”
Jesse didn’t look up. “First time.”
Sure, Nina had begged to adopt cute cats and puppies before, but that was different. It was never this intense.
And other kids? They weren't this good-looking, so she'd never paid them much attention.
But now?
Jesse glanced over at them again. Then he gave up and stared hard at his book, trying to tune it all out.
Alan side-eyed him. “Feels like someone's a little jealous.”
Jesse didn’t flinch. “You're imagining things.”
“Really?”

“Yeah.”
“Then you won't care if she hangs out with Jerand forgets you exist.” Alan continued to tease him.
“Doesn't bother me.”
“Right,” Alan said, dragging the word out like he didn’t believe it for a second.
Jesse stayed stone-faced.
Alan shrugged, playing it cool. “Alright then. Ill say yes to Nina's request.” That got Jesse's full attention.
“What request?” he asked, snapping his head up.
“Nothing,” Alan said, clearly messing with him.

Jesse glared at him, eyes wide, clearly not buying it and clearly not letting it go.
Alan stretched out lazily. “Seriously, it’s nothing major. She just wants to accompany Jerhtonight—and
maybe sleep over at his place.”
“No way!” Jesse blurted out without a second thought.
“Why not?” Alan asked, playing innocent.

Jesse's eyebrows drew together right away. Alan had checked Jerome's background? That didn’t make sense.
