Jean could only relent.

He did not want to spend his own money, but Nina did not have any money with her either.

Nina sighed as she stepped on the gas pedal. She said, “That brother of mine isn’t anyone decent. I think he has his eye on you, so you ought to be careful. Let me know if he starts harassing you. I’ll give him an earful.”
