Chapter 1282:
“Jesse, will you help me?” Nina pleaded, her voice turning soft and syrupy.
“I'll help, but you need to think of the reason,” Jesse said, indulgent as always when it cto her.
Nina's eyes welled up and she pouted, clearly growing more and more frustrated. “I just can’t think of anything.”
Jesse was about to say no again, but then he noticed her teary eyes. She was putting on a whole performance—
pouting, playing sweet, even tearing up.
“Fine, I'll help.” Jesse sighed, rubbing his temples. She had worn him down. “Go tuck yourself in. I'll wake you up
in the morning.”
“Okay!” Nina broke into a bright smile. “Thank you, Jesse!”
She skipped off toward her room, glancing back to wave at him with a sparkle in her eyes before shutting the
door.

Jersounded completely confused. “She’s mad at me? She’s the one who didn’t want to hang out with me!”
“Let’s say you're over at a friend's house, having fun with other kids, and Nina calls you, saying you better come
play with her. If you don’t, she says you can forget about talking again. How would that make you feel?” Jesse
laid out the situation for him.

Jergave it sthought. If it were him, he'd probably drop everything and go back to her. But it did seem
like Nina loved to play with kids. Maybe he'd been a bit too harsh.
“She's kind of stubborn,” Jesse said. “She wants to be around you, but she doesn’t want to say it because she
thinks she’s right. That's why she askedto reach out.”
“Is she asleep?” Jerasked.
