Chapter 3271 Megan Has Feeling For Jake

Jonas could only agree with Megan reluctantly. He knew that he did not have any right to say anything at the moment.

The next moment, he bent down to tuck the stray strands of Megan's hair behind her ear; yet, she turned slightly to dodge his hand. None of them was aware that Jake happened to see everything. Jonas’ smile froze on his face as he put down his hand and responded in embarrassment, “Alright, I'll make a move first. Remember to give me a call if you need anything.”

Jonas could only nod at her before stepping out of the ward. Clack! When the door of the ward was closed again, Megan was left alone with Jake in the ward.

Looking up and staring blankly at the ceiling, Megan did not utter a word.

She was not in the mood to say anything. After all, he only trusts himself. No matter what the others say or have in their mind, it appears to be something foolish for him!”

“You seem to get along well with him!” Jake broke the silence by commenting placidly.

Megan turned instinctively and glanced obliquely at him. Instantly, her entire body tensed at Jake's comment.

After pondering for a while, she finally responded by refuting sarcastically, “Jonas is my friend. How can we be friends if I can't get along with him?”

What a sarcastic reply! There was a self-deprecating smile on Jake's grim face.

He mumbled, “Alright, I'll grant your wish if you insist on that. As long as you can admit that you are not the real Megan, I will let go of you. Apart from that, I'll forget about whatever punishment that I've mentioned earlier. Just pretend that we haven't met each other before.”

Joan's heart flinched at the bitterness of his smile. She wanted to say something in order to smoothen the crease on his forehead; yet, she could not utter any words which were stuck in her throat.

So he's already thinking of letting go of me?

Megan turned to gaze at him. As they locked gazes, both of them could detect each other's indecipherable mixed feelings from the reflection in their eyes.

She could not understand why Jake insisted on her making a choice between him and Jonas. The fact was both of them were equally important to her!

Jake's domineeringness was too suffocating for her at times. She could actually grab the opportunity to flee from him; yet, she was unable to convince herself why she had to do so.

As she had fallen for him long ago, she could not resist letting go of her feeling for him.

“I can't do it!" Megan yelled out suddenly. Tightening her grip on the blanket, she raised her head to look at the man, who was facing her with his head lowered. Standing against the light, his countenance was shielded by the glare, as if shrouded by a mysterious veil

"Oh, is it?" Jake replied briefly and glanced at her perfunctorily. Feeling a bit dejected, he straightened up and was about to stride out of the ward.

Her heart skipped a beat at his indifference. Unable to move, she mustered up her courage by yelling, “Can you stay longer to accompany me?”

Jake froze in his steps and turned to look at Megan. She could feel the throbbing pain in her heart when his gloominess came into sight. At the same time, her heart was filled with a rush of guilt.

“If you're bored, I'll ask Jonas to come and keep you company later,” he shifted his gaze away from her and said sarcastically, trying to withhold the frustration within himself.

Megan was dumbfounded and asked indignantly, “I'm sorry for being blunt a while ago. Please stop teasing me again. You know that there's really nothing between me and him, don’t you?”

Megan realized that she had something in common with Jake. Both of them could be persuaded by reason but not by force. She knew that she had to appease him by all means, and could not leave him boiling with rage.

Although they were always bickering with each other, she did not have the intention to infuriate the arrogant man.

"Where's your haughtiness a while ago when he was here? It seems that you are double-faced and good at twisting your words!" Jake gritted and snickered at the woman lying on the bed. He was exceptionally patient with her all this while. If others dared to say so to him, he would have unleashed his wrath on them long ago.
