Chapter: 1919

Damian reflected on how selfish he had been in recent days, and how Nina had always let him have his way. So when she asked him to come along, he declined, saying, "You go ahead. I'll just wait here."

"Jerome asked me to bring you with me," Nina added casually.

"It's awkward for him to say something personal to you in my presence. He deserves a proper goodbye." Damian thought about it for a moment, placing himself in Jerome's shoes. "Go have lunch with him and bid your farewell," he said.

Nina tilted her head, studying his face. "No jealousy this time?" "Of course not!" Damian answered, deadly serious.

"Wait here for me. I'll come back to you after seeing him off," Nina promised. "I'll show you around the city—you've barely explored it all these years." As she hugged him, Damian felt the quiet power of her love without needing another word. "Alright," he agreed without hesitation.
