Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick)
Chapter 3244

Chapter 3244 Garret

"Don't touch me. Mind your own business. Leave me alone."

Megan froze. All of a sudden, she recalled Jake's question in the car.

Is he acting like this to upset me because of that?

Megan found it funny that Jake seemed to have a childish side to him.

Chuckling, she used her finger to touch Jake's while the gloomy look in her eyes had been replaced by heartwarming enthusiasm.

"Come on, don't torture your stomach. We can always talk after we eat."

Megan's relaxed and cheerful tone stupefied Jake as he happened to look up and met her eyes. He had no idea when she had changed the expression on her face as she had always put on a sullen face in front of him.

"I don't want to go," Jake replied calmly. He did not even notice that his mood was getting better as he simply declined her invitation out of instinct.

Hearing his reply, Megan tilted her head and gave it a thought. An idea popped into her head as she decided to run back into the eatery and take the pasta out.

She held the plate of pasta before Jake and looked at him earnestly.

"Look. It smells so good. Come on. Let's go inside and eat. After that, we'll go to Queenston Village."

Jake looked down at the pasta and still had no appetite. Then, he looked into Megan's eyes and suddenly found it hard to say no to her.

It was the first time she had begged him to do something, so he was feeling a little delighted deep down.

"Okay," he replied crisply, but he never took another look at the pasta as he kept his gaze on the smile on her face.

He had never known that she could also have such a bright smile that illuminated his secret dark past and filled up the hole in his heart.

It seems that she's different from those "single-use" women, right?

Though pacified, the desire in his heart could still be stirred. As he gazed into Megan's eyes, the source of his inexplicable emotions dawned on him.

Is it love? But that's an overstatement. What he knew was that it was an emotion stronger than the desire to and that it was something that he had needed all this while. "Great. I like you being so decisive." Megan was in a good mood. Although she sensed the change in Jake's emotions, she did not want to dwell on what he was thinking. At this moment, she only wanted him to eat because of the butterflies that he gave her earlier.

As the two of them suppressed their emotions respectively, Megan pulled Jake, who was still a little reluctant, into the eatery. To the outsiders, they were like any other couple.

However, both of them knew deep down that they could only assume their original positions when they left this place. Their suspicions and clash of personalities could only be proved by time. After half an hour, Megan and Jake left the eatery and took the bus to head for her village.

The path was winding, so Megan, who had not returned for a long time, had a hard time throughout the journey. As soon as she got off the bus a few hours later, she threw up. Her stomach churned, making her feel miserable.

Worried, Jake knitted his brows and handed her two bottles of water to rinse her mouth.

"Have you always been this weak?"

Shaking her head, Megan suppressed her nausea feeling with a frown and explained, "It's been a long time since I took such a long bus ride. It's okay. We should get going as it's getting late."

There were no street lights in the village, and beasts were also often spotted in the forest; so Megan wanted to get back to her house as soon as possible. However, the thought of seeing Garret filled her with disgust.
