Chapter 3313 Can You Depend On Me For Once

Smirking, he remarked sarcastically, “Are you sure a mere lucky charm can bring you the luck youneed? Why don’t you beg me instead?”

Megan snorted in return and started running her fingers through her hair on the couch. She repliedwith her eyes flickering, “I'm not supposed to do that if I'm serious about our relationship.”

She had indirectly turned him down, implying she had no intention to depend on him.

Jake was unsure if he was on the right track because he had a hard time comprehending theaffection she had for him.

He wondered if he should carry on with their relationship as she made it seem she would leave himanytime.

She has turned down my offer and refrained from being involved in a beneficiary relationship withme. Is she even meant to be my better half?

All things considered, the affection he had for her wavered. Nonetheless, he refused to think badlyof her because of his already messed-up life. He thought it wouldn't be necessary to figure outMegan's intention even if it meant being deceived by her.

Unfortunately, Megan did the exact opposite of what he sought and had never taken him forgranted as she was not unwilling to take advantage of him.

“Can you please depend on me every once in a while? I need to feel I'm the one you have in mind intimes of emergencies.”

Although they were miles away from one another, Megan was overwhelmed by emotions becauseof Jake's confession.

She was taken aback because he had mentioned something unbefitting of his identity, but shewould never cave in to his request because those were against her will.

All along, she thought she didn't deserve a proud man like him, and a proud man like him shouldnever grovel himself at others’ mercy.

The foundation of their relationship was a lie. The moment she heard his confession, she realizedthat he had been living a lonely life, incapable of moving on from the past.

He was not much different from a child who was desperate for love. Megan happened to be theperfect candidate for the role. Thus, he would grovel at her mercy if those were required.

“I-l want to know if you love me?”

Jake, who was on the other end of the call, went dead silent when he heard Megan's question.Grasping his phone in the pitch-black room, his abysmal pair of eyes flickered.

He stuttered his reply in a hoarse voice, “W-What do you mean by love?”

Over the years he had disconnected from his past, he had picked up all sorts of skills, but heseemed to have not learned to love.

No one taught him the proper definition of love. Instead, most of his seniors said he was the rightcandidate for the role because he had relatively few concerns in life.

Is love troublesome? Is it going to bind me in life?

Jake had a hard time comprehending the concept of love. Subsequently, he gave up when hestarted feeling lightheaded again.

On the other hand, Megan was rendered speechless by his reply. She had no choice but to pickherself up. Seconds after she returned to her senses, she asserted, “It's better for you to ignore myquestion because it's not a big deal. You should call it a day and tuck yourself in.”

In order to conceal her anxiety, Megan hung up the call immediately after she bade farewell to him.After she saw that the line was no longer active, she let out a long sigh of relief.

It turned out Jake had yet to sort it out—he had merely carried on based on his intuition. To beprecise, he wasn't conscious of the rationale behind his actions.

I guess I have been overthinking again, huh? I can't believe I almost confess the affection I have forhim when he isn't even certain of our relationship.

She had brought up the concept of a lucky charm to conceal her sense of inferiority. As she deemedherself unworthy of him, she was determined to climb her way up the hierarchical structure and getothers to acknowledge her.

She couldn't afford to accept any form of help from him because she was serious about theirrelationship.

Unfortunately, they seemed to have misperceived the other party's intention.

Megan knew it was no one’s fault because their different pasts were the reason behind thedifferences in their lifestyles and thinking.

Josephine had been anticipating a reply from Megan. Thus, she asked, “Miss, do you need me tomake you something to eat?”
