Chapter 3290 Moving In Together

“I'm sure you're aware that I don't like to seek your help. Furthermore, I should be the one to repay my debt of gratitude to him. Even if I called you, the most you could do was to punish him However, the rumors in the public sphere will be extremely damaging to him.”

Megan's words were so selfless that they caused Jake's heart to sink. Loosening his grip, the anger and insecurity in his eyes dissipated instantly.

The car suddenly fell into silence, causing the atmosphere to return to how it was when they had just met. As Jake suddenly became distant, the smirk on his face felt like a knife slicing through her heart.

“Fine. If you think public opinion will hurt him, did it then not occur to you that it will hurt me too?” Unable to hide his trembling voice, Jake's gaze darkened.

Megan's expression changed drastically. The conflicting emotions of guilt and self-blame began to overwhelm her. She couldn't deny that she had been too selfish and reckless in her decision.

When Jake, who had all this while been someone domineering, could no longer hide the hurt he felt, Megan realized that she had overestimated how emotionally strong he was.

Clenching her fists and on the brink of tears, she bit her lip gently and replied, “I'm sorry, I have unilaterally put you in the spot...”

Jake who had his head lowered throughout raised it slightly and let out a self-deprecating laugh. He sneered, “Are you finally willing to admit your mistake?”

“Mmm-hmm.”

When he saw her finally willing to admit her mistake, Jake couldn't help but laugh mockingly. As his steely gaze showed no sign of softening, he raised his eyebrows while his expression remained just as gloomy.

“Since you have realized your folly, you shouldn't involve yourself in Jonas’ problem anymore as I will deal with it. With regards to whose girl you are, I'll be the one responsible for declaring it.” Jake's domineering attitude caught Megan by surprise. Widening her eyes in shock, she tightened the grip on her sleeves and protested, “No, we're already seeing positive developments to the plan. If you get involved now, wouldn't you derail it instead? It's true that I didn't think through the plan properly. But, you can get me to do anything other than what you have just suggested.”

Pfft! Jake expressed his utter displeasure. As Megan's gentle and pinkish cheeks leaned closer to him voluntarily, her lips almost touched his face. Glancing at her, his gaze darkened as he suddenly had another idea.

The next moment, he suggested, “Fine. I won't interfere only if you promise to move in with me.” His words were so shocking that Megan was dumbfounded upon hearing them. Her mind drew a blank as she gaped at him.

“Wh-what?”

Jake was unfazed by her shocked expression. Raising his eyebrows, he explained, “It's simple. Since you do not want to be mine in name, you will have to do so physically instead.”

Shocked by his request, Megan was still in a daze. Blinking her eyes, she remained visibly confused. “Wait, are you asking me to move in for good?”

“Don't let me repeat myself.” Looking upset, Jake shot a glance at her. It was obvious that his earlier anger had yet to subside. “We will go to your house immediately to pack or we can just go and buy whatever you need.”

Jake's tone was firm as he made the decision for her. Given that she was in the wrong, she didn’t dare to protest at all.

Despite the panic, she tried to maintain a calm facade. After all, she had not emotionally prepared herself for such a momentous decision.

After a long silence, Megan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

“There's no need to grab my things. Let's just go straight to your place.”

However, it was a way for her to defuse the situation. Given how busy Jake was and that she would be out filming most of the time, it was unlikely that they would frequently see each other at home. As for her belongings, she would leave them with Donna so that she could still return anytime.
