Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick)
Chapter 3186

Chapter 3186

Megan looked nostalgic while reminiscing the past, as though she had lived it herself.

Jake studied her half-lidded eyes with a faint smile, and the darkness that had shrouded his heart for many years seemed to finally fade away.

His nickname Gabe was the only thing he remembered about himself, but it was officially changed to Jake Wilson after being brought into the Wilson family.

But Jake still couldn't bring himself to trust the woman in front of him because her appearance was too much of a coincidence.

Unfortunately, he had lost all his memories from the past.

It looked like he could only wait and see how things panned out.

Hence, he said, "Give me the photo. Although there's no need to go to Alendor anymore, I'll still be keeping an eye on you."

Upon hearing that, Megan breathed a long sigh of relief.

She felt as though she had stepped away from the edge of a cliff, but there was no telling when she would have to take a step forward again. However, she did not have a choice at all.

If she didn't stop Jake and let Mia successfully secure her position, her chances of winning in this life would be very slim.

Thus, she had to force herself to take such risks.

Megan recollected her thoughts as she passed the photo to Jake.

Huffing out a short laugh, she said calmly, "I still don't understand what you're talking about, but I'm glad I don't have to go to Alendor anymore.'

Jake raised his brows wordlessly, but other than that, his expression was as calm as a millpond.

With his heart in turmoil, he looked out the car window to watch the city view whizzing by.

"

If she's really the one from my memories, can she really save me from the darkness that's threatening to pull me down? {f she can't, then her existence would be meaningless. "Mr.Wilson, we've arrived."

After some time, the car pulled to a stop by the entrance of a restaurant.

Jake opened the car door and motioned for Megan to follow him upstairs.

Be it in her previous life or her current one, Megan had never seen such an opulent restaurant.

Lifting her head to admire the exquisite interior design, she couldn't help but lament that her previous life as a celebrity was all for naught.

They followed a waiter along a corridor and very soon, they reached the second floor which was visibly more secluded.

After Jake and Megan took their seats across from each other, the atmosphere in the private room turned slightly awkward.

"I've already ordered our food. If there's anything else you want to eat, feel free to order it yourself. It's my treat."

Jake crossed one leg over the other and lazily propped his forehead against a closed fist.

Then, he openly studied the woman in front of him through half-lidded eyes that were of an amber hue.

Megan didn't dare to move a muscle.

She was already feeling guilty as it was.

Looking down at the menu that was pushed toward her, she shook her head with a feeble smile.

"Thank you, but I'm fine with anything you order."

Jake narrowed his eyes in a fraction.

Arching a skeptical brow at her, he mentally flipped through the information he had on Megan and said indifferently, "As someone who grew up in the countryside, aren't you the least bit interested in the city's top delicacies?"

This seemed to be an ordinary question, but it resembled a hand on Megan's back, ready to push her into the abyss the moment she gave him an unsatisfactory answer.

Megan was silent for a while, but her expression remained unchanged.

"It's not that I'm not interested, but when I was with Gabe before, he always called me rude, so he often told me what they taught him in the orphanage. Even though I'm not that cultured, I still know some basic manners."

She managed to tell a convincing lie while keeping a straight face.

Squaring her shoulders, she continued in an unwavering tone, "Besides, it's impossible for ordinary citizens to dine here.I get that you're a big shot, but please don't look down on others"

When she was done, the doubt in Jake's eyes had already morphed into intrigue, and a vague smile formed on his lips without him even realizing it.

"Are you scolding me?"

"I..."

Megan was rendered speechless.

Unable to read his thoughts, her initial righteous attitude instantly vanished and she murmured to herself, "I just think that you're wrong"

Although her voice was barely audible, Jake still managed to catch it due to the confined space of the private room.

Instead of feeling offended, the corners of his lips lifted slightly and the frost in his eyes was replaced by warmth.
