Chapter 3323 Lonesome Road

Knowing that he could no longer remain hidden, Jonas had no intention to avoid them either. Heput on a straight face and gazed upon them while he hugged his arms. His hair was tossed aboutwildly by the sea breeze.

“Just driving around. This is the only deserted road in Horington.”

Jake was not sold on Jonas’ cover story. He wrapped his arm tighter around Megan's hips and raisedhis eyebrows as the residual glow from the headlights flared upon their faces.

“You've been following us, haven't you? I've noticed a car on our tail but just chose not to point itout.”

Jonas smiled at the duo. His eyes were as forlorn as the night itself. “You're as cautious as ever.However, it's not necessarily a bad thing as far as you're concerned, since my giving up earlierwould only be of benefit to you.”

Mired in his voice was a certain detachment which emanated from within. Megan could hear, andsee the despondence in his body language. However, she could not choose to be with another outof pity or gratitude.

“It is. I feel that for you to give up would be more of a tug of war, but I would let the matter slide fortonight. Come on, Megan.”

Jonas watched as the couple walked to the car in each other's arms and abruptly let out a laugh.There was an element of flightiness to his tone. “Just remembered that Megan made dinner for metoday, and it was pretty decent.”

Those words left Megan stunned. Jake's brows perked up, but he understood quickly that that wasmerely Jonas’ last attempt to provoke him.

He turned around with lips curled and calmly regarded with confidence and pride the gaunt manfighting to keep himself warm in the billowing wind.

Amidst the quietude of the road, Jonas could only hear his counterparts steady voice. “It doesn'tmatter, because she belongs to me from here on out. You can only taste her cooking just this once,while I would be able to do so for the rest of my life. Etch that into your memory so that you maysavor that moment more when you grow old.”

Jonas was nonplussed. The only flavor he could get from reminiscing about it would be a bittertaste in his mouth.

Jake was clearly mocking him.

On the lonesome road, Jonas leaned against his car as he watched the dust settle from thedeparting white Audi with mixed emotions.

After being rejected umpteen times and witnessing their moment of tenderness for himself, whywas it that he was not driven to give up?

Did that stem from love, or a desire to possess?

The biting cold of the wind left one shivering, while his true sentiments continued to lay dormant.Early in the morning on the second day, Megan discovered that she had caught the flu when sheroused groggily from her slumber.

She sat up helplessly and attributed the cause to exposure to the cold wind from the night before.After she freshened up, she saw that Jonas and the rest of the production crew were already up.They were standing over at the balcony, seemingly engrossed in a discussion.

Unable to restrain herself, she decided to join in. Coincidentally, the director turned around and thetwo of them found them staring into each other's eyes.

"Oh, you're up, Megan. Good. We need to talk.”

Martin picked up a notebook and tossed it to Megan. She saw that Jonas also had one exactly likethat in hand.

The trio then settled down together at the dining table.

“Both of you don't look the part of a couple for this reality show, so I've no choice but to executemy plan B. This is the script that we'll be working with from now on. I'll have everything you need tobe prepared in advance.”

The director sounded quite adamant and there did not seem to be grounds for negotiation. Meganwas quite astounded at first and exhaled with script in hand. It would seem that that was the onlyway they would be able to move things forward.

With everything that had happened in the past few days, she was not confident that she would beable to play a loving couple with Jonas without inhibitions.

A few days later, Megan's filming in Horington finally came to an end.

After reviewing the initial cut, she was not able to feel the sparks flying between Jonas and herself.Expectantly, the program was widely panned online when it premiered.
