Chapter 353

When little Nina spotted Mario, she squealed and ran straight toward him, flinging her arms around him in a tight hug, planting a big, smacking kiss on his cheek.

James let out a long, dramatic sigh, covering his face at the scene.

Now that Mario was here, Nina had completely forgotten about her godfather. She clung to Mario's hand, peppering him with excited questions.

Mario stared at her and nodded vigorously.

"Then, do you want to stay over tonight?"

Mario nodded again, "I do!"
