Chapter 3271 Megan Has Feeling For Jake

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

The next moment, he bent down to tuck the stray strands of Megan's hair behind her ear; yet, sheturned 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 wasclosed 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 otherssay 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'scomment.

After pondering for a while, she finally responded by refuting sarcastically, “Jonas is my friend. Howcan 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 arenot the real Megan, I will let go of you. Apart from that, I'll forget about whatever punishment thatI'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 tosmoothen the crease on his forehead; yet, she could not utter any words which were stuck in herthroat.

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'sindecipherable mixed feelings from the reflection in their eyes.

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

Jake's domineeringness was too suffocating for her at times. She could actually grab theopportunity 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 headto look at the man, who was facing her with his head lowered. Standing against the light, hiscountenance 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, hestraightened 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 byyelling, “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 heartwhen 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 fromher 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 stopteasing 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 byreason but not by force. She knew that she had to appease him by all means, and could not leavehim boiling with rage.

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

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