Chapter 1556:
Jesse didn’t know how to respond.
Kristian raised an eyebrow, clearly amused.
“You never let anyone do that,” Nina said, stepping closer to examine him. “Not even when Dad or Uncle Alan
tries. Why did you let him?”
Their uncle Alan had ruffled Jesse's hair before, but Jesse always shielded his face. This was definitely unusual.
Jesse stayed quiet. He couldn't explain how he had zoned out during their conversation or how he hadn't even
noticed the gesture at the time.
“Sorry,” Kristian said quickly. “I didn’t realize you didn’t like that.”
“It's fine,” Jesse replied automatically.
Nina poked his cheek again, surprised. “Really?”
“You're acting strange, Jesse. Do you like him too? Why won't you say anything?” Nina kept pestering.
Jesse pushed her hand away and stood straighter, taking on a protective older brother tone. “Is this really the
tfor nonsense? Dinner’s in ten minutes. After that, we're heading home.”
“It’s fine! I'll play with Mr. Shaw for ten more minutes after dinner,” Nina giggled. “Then I'll get a timeout
willingly at home!”
Jesse had no idea how to deal with her. His nature was more like Freya's. He responded well to kindness, not
pressure. That was why, when Kristian apologized, he didn’t stay upset.
Nina, on the other hand, was just like Ellis. She didn’t respond to force or softness. If she was angry, it depended
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇton how much she liked the person who upset her. If she didn’t care for them, she’d make it known. If she did, she
forgave everything.
“Mr. Shaw,” Nina suddenly leaned close.
Kristian blinked, snapping out of his thoughts. “Hmm?”
“What are your plans for tonight?” Nina asked sweetly, tilting her head just a little. “Are they really that
important?”
“More important than me?”

Kristian didn’t answer right away.
Nina blinked again, her eyes wide and innocent.
“Nina Lambert,” Jesse interrupted, hearing where this was headed. “What did Mommy say before we left the
house?”
“I'm not trying to make things hard for him,” Nina said, holding her hands together in front of her. “If he says his
plans are more important than me, | won't ask again.”
Nina only wanted to spend twith Kristian, nothing else.
