Chapter 1639:

As the pirate ship started to sway, Jesse’s hands grew clammy, though he kept his face calm. When the ship swung high, his heart raced, and a familiar queasiness crept in.

“Woo!” Nina squealed, loving every second.

Jesse gripped the handle tighter, his face a touch paler.

After one round, his nerves felt like they’d been through a storm.

“Is it Mom?” Nina asked, curious.

“Nope,” Jesse said, checking the caller ID. “It’s Aunt Greta.” With that, he stepped off the ride and answered the call.
