Chapter 1283:
The next morning, just after seven, the doorbell rang.
Alan stepped out and spotted a boy standing at the gate—about Jesse’s height. He recognized him instantly.
“Jerome?”
He quickly unlocked the gate and noticed the small cake in Jerome's hands.
“What brings you here so early?”
“I cto see Nina,” Jersaid, his voice soft and a little shy.
Alan glanced around. “Did you cby yourself?”
“Yeah.” Jernodded.
Alan’s head filled with questions. Jerome's house was pretty far from theirs. How had a kid managed to make it

“Nina’s still having breakfast,” Alan said, taking his hand and leading him in. “You haven't eaten yet, right? Come

As they stepped into the house, Nina heard the voices and crunning. The moment her eyes landed on
Jerome, her entire face lit up, and she raced toward him.
“Jerome!”
Jesse trailed behind Nina, at a complete loss for words. Didn't she just say she was done with Jerome? And now,
look at her—practically sprinting back to him.
“Jerome? What are you doing here so early?” Nina's wide, sparkling eyes practically glowed with delight. “Did
you cjust to see me?”
“Yeah,” Jermurmured, his voice barely above a whisper. He clearly had no idea how to explain himself.
He reached out and offered her the cake, his tone gentle as always. “I made this with my mom. It's an apology...
| shouldn't have pressured you like that the other day.”
“I forgive you,” Nina said brightly, beaming as she took the treat with delight. She wasted no ttugging him
inside so they could eat breakfast together.
Once breakfast was over, Nina's full attention zoned in on the cake.

“Jerome, this cake is so yummy!”
“Do you like it?” Jerasked, hopeful.
“Uh-huh!” Nina nodded enthusiastically.
