Chapter 225: Start of summer break
Start of the summer break — Cortez Household.
Nina sat down on the bed and stared at the little cash she got from her last allowance. Since she stopped taking private transportation services, she hadn’t been low on cash. She also stopped buying food outside since Jessa prepared them some lunch boxes.
The problem was, Nina didn’t know if this was enough.
Knock knock
Nina raised her head at the door, catching Yuri peeking her head in.
"Nina?" Yuri called. "Are you ready now?"
"Yuri..." Nina bit her lips, watching Yuri come in because of the look on her face. "I don’t know if we can even do this."
Yuri sat down on the edge of the bed. "Why?"
"I don’t think this is enough." Nina jerked her chin to her cash. "I searched online on how much it might cost us, but compared to the price I saw, this is... it’s not enough, isn’t it?"
Yuri gazed down at the wad of cash on the bed and her mouth fell open. "This is your money?"
"It’s my monthly allowance. I barely touched it, but even so, it’s still not enough," said Nina. "My grandma wants to send me money, but I’m a bit reluctant to accept it."
After all, Nina’s grandmother — Allison’s mother — was worried about her. However, Nina chose not to visit, even though she was allowed to visit her grandparents. She was able to coax her grandmother into thinking that Nina simply had a lot of things to do for her final exams.
