NovelTrueChapter 1241:
And just like Jesse had figured, everything went exactly the way he planned. Right when Nina finished the last of
her snacks, it was lunchtime. Alan cto get them so they could find something to eat again.
And just like that, Jesse had managed to dodge another round on the pirate ship.
That afternoon, when Alan and Nina tried to take Jesse to play, he declined with a blunt excuse, saying the sun
was too harsh and his skin would burn easily.
Alan wiped the sweat from his forehead and squinted up at the sky. “You know what... fair. It's a furnace out
here.” It was peak summer—the kind of day where the pavement sizzled, and you could practically see the air
shimmer. “How about we hit Ice World instead?” Alan suggested, grinning. “Nice and cool. Feels like a fridge in
there.”
“I'm in!” Nina beamed. She never turned down a chance to play.

lunatics and recounting every moment like it was the best day ever.
Jesse? He'd endured the morning and coasted through the afternoon. Truth be told, the rides didn’t do much for

But he never showed much interest in games. The only things that could get his attention were things like Lego
bricks. Alan stared at the message. He looked over at Jesse, who was now curled up in the corner with a book,
completely at peace.
The thought hit him like a stray dodgeball.
Back in the day, he used to take Freya and Ethel out just to have fun himself, using them as an excuse.

But Jesse? This kid was too grown-up for his own good.
Alan started typing again. “Don’t you think Jesse's a little too mature for his age?” His fingers flew over the
keyboard as he pressed on. “I'm starting to think he’s some...”
“Kind of reincarnated adult. Kid acts like he remembers his past life.” Only a full-grown adult would walk around
totally uninterested in things made for kids.
