Chapter 3257 Making Advances

Ignoring Jake, Megan forced her eyes closed and her thoughts away. However, it took hours before Megan could finally stop thinking about her situation and drifted off into dreamland.

The next morning, Megan woke with a start.

When she glanced at her side, she realized Abigail was gone. Jake was the only one left, still sleeping.

As Megan sat on the bed with her forehead in her palms, she yawned

“You're up early.”

Jake's voice came from beside her, and Megan nearly choked from the fright. Even her yawn was abruptly cut off.

After recollecting herself, she quickly jumped off the bed. “Yes.”

The emotions in Jake's eyes were indiscernible when he saw how Megan moved away from him. Climbing down from the bed, he then walked past the nervous woman to draw the curtains behind her.

Instantly, sunlight filtered through the window to light up the dim room. As Jake stood by the window, veiled by the golden rays of the sun, he looked exceptionally handsome in his white shirt and messy hair.

“Abigail had classes in the morning, so I sent her to class earlier.”

His casual words were as though he was trying to cover up what happened the night before. Megan sighed in relief at how he avoided the topic. Yet, she felt disappointed as well.

“I see. I didn't know that. Maybe I was too deep in my sleep.”

Megan chuckled. She was about to head to the bathroom to wash up when Jake stopped her. It was then she noticed there was something else other than grogginess in his eyes.

Holding her soft hands, he murmured hoarsely, “Is that so? You had a good night's sleep, but I didn't. Shouldn't you keep me company for a while longer?”

Jake's words made her shudder.

This man truly knows how to charm others.

Afraid that she would lose of herself, Megan pressed her lips into a thin line and retracted her hand. Taking two steps back and looking away, she mumbled, “It's best for me not to. Sleep for a while longer on your own. I want to go and check on Abigail.”

“She's more important than me?” Jake seemed dissatisfied with her answer, as he took a step closer to her, no longer looking as casual as he was a moment ago.

That was a question that stumped Megan. If she were to say that he was important, she would have to keep him company. If she did not, she would have lied to him.

Thus, she fell silent.

“Do you think I won't be able to do anything if you don't speak?” Jake cocked his head as he looked at the quiet woman. Then, he reached out to lift her chin.

As his fingers brushed the tip of her chin, Megan's heart began racing.

“I... have something to attend to today, so I have to go back earlier.” Megan balled her hands into fists as she looked away from him.

A small smile grew on Jake's lips at her reaction. Stepping forward, he then lifted her into his arms. "Hey!"

The sudden actions startled Megan, and she quickly wrapped her arms around Jake's neck. When she leaned her face against his chest, she could hear his heart thumping in his chest.

"What are you trying to do?”

Jake stopped in front of the bed before lowering his head to look at the anxious Megan. With a chuckle, he muttered, “Going back to sleep.”

With that said, he tossed Megan onto the soft bed. Before she could come back to her senses, the towering man lay down beside her and circled his arms around her waist.

By the time she recomposed herself, she started struggling.

"Stop moving,” Jake whispered as he rubbed his face against her cheek.

“D-Don't do this.”

The night before, they had Abigail in between them, so he could not do anything to her. However, it was different now. She would not be able to stop him from making advances on her.
