Chapter 3240 Unreasonable
“Hello.” “Yeah.”
Yeah? Who answers a call like this?
Taking another glance at the number on her phone, Megan felt weird but also found the voicefamiliar, so she asked, “Who's on the line?"
"Who do you think I am?” The man sounded displeased. Megan was taken aback as she realizedthat he was Jake.
Hence, she replied tentatively, “Mr. Wilson?”
Hearing the way she addressed him, Jake was displeased. Turning around on his chair at the desk,he looked at a piece of painting on the wall with an indifferent gaze.
“Did I say you can call me like that? That was not what you called me when we were in bed.”
At this, Megan froze as her face went crimson. Why must he bring this up? How can he still talkabout what happened yesterday so calmly?
“Sorry. I forgot. So why did you call me?” Megan did not want to dwell on the form of address, soshe hurriedly changed the subject.
Sensing her annoyance, Jake raised his eyebrows and dropped the subject as he was confident thathe could make her stop using such an alienated way to address him.
“Has the stuff arrive?”
Stuff?
Megan was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she had not told him that she hadreturned all the clothes.
It's not too late to tell him now. Holding the phone, Megan pondered about it in silence.
Having heard no reply from her, Jake raised his eyebrows and prompted her in a louder voice, “Hey,talk to me”
"What is there to talk about?” Megan was still in a daze. All of a sudden, she thought of somethingand hurriedly added, “Yeah, I've received them, but there are too many of them, and my place issmall, so I didn't take the clothes.”
Hearing this, Jake knitted his brows in displeasure and tapped his fingers on the desk. Then, heasserted coldly, “You actually have the nerve to return the stuff I give you? You need to keep themeven though you have no more space. Just throw out everything else in your house.”
Hearing how unreasonable he sounded, Megan felt powerless. The longer she knew him, the moreshe found him to be unreasonable.
She knew that he would make snide remarks if he did not have his way.
Thinking of this, she got irritated and replied in a serious tone, “Don’t be so unreasonable. Besides, Idon't need so many clothes! I'm grateful that you have given me so many things, but if you give memore, they'll become trouble for me.”
"So this is what you think?" Her remark made him feel frustrated. Then, he thought of how happyshe was when she chatted with Jonas at the store, and his blood boiled.
"You refuse to accept the things I gave you because you want to go shopping with Jonas next time,don't you?” he snapped angrily.
His words made her blood curdle. Clenching her fists, she felt suffocated by his controlling behavior.Most importantly, he mentioned the name that she did not even want to hear.
Tucking the hair behind her ear, she was feeling awful deep down. Thus, she growled, “Mr. Wilson,can you be reasonable? I have the freedom to decide whether I should buy clothes. You don't needto care so much!”
Her retort instantly filled Jake with a chilling rage.
Fortunately, Megan was not next to him, so she only noticed the long silence on the other end ofthe line.
As time passed, she felt conflicted as she realized that what she said might have hurt Jake. Will thisact of pushing him away make him hate me?
All this while, the reason she did not want Jake to leave her was that she did not want him to go toMia. Any amount of resources that came from him, who was an industry leader, could be of help inthe pursuit of her career.
