Chapter 3371 More Trouble Than It Is Worth

Megan let out an awkward laugh and tried hard to conceal her embarrassment. She couldn't verywell admit that she had entirely forgotten about him.

“No, no. Of course, I didn't forget about you. If it wasn't because something cropped up midway, Iwould've been home a long time ago.”

Megan knew she couldn't tell him that he didn’t once cross her mind. Hence, she shook her headprofusely, not daring to give him any reason to doubt her.

Jake dipped his head and easily caught sight of the guilt peeking from her eyes. Raising his brows,he inched his face closer to hers and retorted, “I bet you didn’t think of me at all, did you? Lie betternext time. Forget it. Tell me, what happened on your end?”

Tightening his arms around Megan, Jake did not see the need to dwell on trivial matters. Since shesaid something happened, this was what he should focus on asking instead.

Megan wasn't planning to tell him about this at first, but since he asked, refusing to share it withhim would only arouse his suspicion. With a soft sigh, she began recounting everything from start toend,

By the time Megan was done, Jake's expression had already darkened a few shades. That womanclearly knows that I'm on Megan's side, but she still had the guts to behave so impudently.

Do the artists under Starling Media think I'm a pushover?

“Hey, don't get angry because of something like this, okay? You haven't fully recovered from yourcold yet.” Megan couldn't help but worry when he pursed his lips in silence. Looking up at hispensive eyes, she was afraid that he would make things difficult for Jacinta because of this incident.She wasn't trying to protect Jacinta, but she felt that it was unwise to blow things out of proportion.With Jacinta’s wide network, making a move against her would lead to an aftermath that was moretrouble than it was worth.

After all, Jacinta did not threaten her in any way yet. Hence, she would only whip out Jake as hertrump card when she really had no choice.

"Aren“t you bothered by it at all?” Jake glanced at Megan from the corner of his eye with a hint offrustration lining his features.

Megan pressed her lips together and shrugged. “The fight's over between us. Why should I bebothered? Leave this matter alone for now, okay? It's not like she can do anything anyway.”Wanting to steer the topic way, Megan's gaze shifted to the study materials on the dining table. Itwas then she remembered that this was his gift to her earlier that day.

In an instant, she was overwhelmed with a maelstrom of emotions. Back then, she was forced todrop out of school. At present, she could finally realize her dream of entering college, and thesebooks were the first step.

"What's on your mind? You look distracted.”

Jake had noticed the absent-minded look on her face, as though she was thinking about somethingelse. At the sound of his voice, Megan returned to her senses and blinked at him

She responded with a dainty chuckle and replied, “It's nothing important. I was just thinking that I'mgoing to enter campus again as a student. I hope I can get what I want this time.”

Megan raised her head a fraction. Her eyes glimmered softly, and her delicate features glowedunder the lights. The smile playing on her lips seemed to enhance all of this, making her shine like astar.

Although the woman in front of him wasn’t drop-dead gorgeous, she gave off a pure vibe at firstglance. Not to mention, her mysterious and unpredictable presence was like a magnet attractinghim to her.

Jake's eyes darkened further. Hugging Megan tight against his chest, he teased her earlobe with thetip of his tongue, causing a tingling sensation to spread all over Megan's body.

Megan was caught off guard by his abrupt gesture and made an involuntary noise at the back ofher throat.

Blushing furiously, she bit on her bottom lip and held onto his shoulders with both hands.

When his warm breath tickled her ear, a sense of unease washed over her. She bit down harder onher lip, trying to ignore the unusual feeling. Then, she blurted out in a very unromantic manner,"Hey, what are you doing? Have you eaten?”
