Chapter 3272 Megan Tries To Appease Jake

Megan smiled in embarrassment and tried to pacify him by saying coquettishly, "Ah! These are two different things. It's challenging for me to be the middle person between you and him, too. He was just being impetuous just now so I was actually trying to speak up for him so he won't further infuriate you. Come on, just be sporting and don't take it seriously."

Nonetheless, the man was utterly unmoved by her cloying tone.

Gazing at Megan in great displeasure, he pulled the chair next to her bed aside and sat down. Twitching his lips, he enunciated grimly, "Are you sure you know how to coax men? I'm repulsed by your pretentious way of pleasing me."

Megan stiffened at once and pursed her lips. Her coyness was gone within seconds. Glancing helplessly at the man with a devastating good look, Megan mumbled, "Alright, I get what you mean now. Dear Mr. Wilson, what am I supposed to do in order to beg for your forgiveness?"

Jake softened at her words and raised his brows. He stood up and bent down swiftly. In a blink of an eye, his face was only inches away from Megan's.

"W-What's the matter with you?" Megan stammered in bewilderment. She was stunned as she stared stiffly into the man's charming eyes.

"Give me a kiss!"

Megan blushed instantly as she felt Jake's warm breath on her face. As their faces were only inches away from each other, she could even see every pore on the man's face. Her own reflection was visible in the man's crystal clear amber eyes. At that very moment, she was mesmerized by his long, curly lashes which were fluttering as he blinked his eyes.

Bedazzled by the man's great charm, she was in a daze. In her eyes, none of the men was as stunning as him. Even Jonas's good looks were not comparable with his. Somehow, Jake was exceptionally charming by giving off a vibe of domineeringness and steadiness.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do it now!" Jake urged her impatiently.

Megan was brought back to reality by him within seconds. Blinking her eyes constantly, she was overcome by a sense of awkwardness.

"Huh... do I have to kiss you?" Megan asked hesitantly with a blush. Even though both of them had had steamy intimate sessions previously, she could not help feeling awkward by giving him a kiss.

A surge of frustration welled up from within him when he sensed her hesitance. When he was about to straighten up and leave, he was stunned by a sudden warm sensation from her lips. As he lowered his head instantly, he was surprised to see Megan's flushed red cheeks. Besides, she was apparently avoiding having any eye contact with him.

So she was acting deliberately to let me down just now, and planted the kiss on my lips when I was not aware? Feeling amused by what was playing in her mind, Jake chuckled. What a cunning woman! "Hmm, not bad!" His gloomy face was miraculously brightened up by her kiss in an instant.

Jake recalled how Megan dodged when Jonas offered to tuck her hair behind her ear a while ago; yet, she willingly gave him a kiss as requested. He was over the moon at how she treated both of them differently. For Megan, he was apparently at a higher status than Jonas.

"You are not angry now?" Megan asked warily, fearful of enraging the man again. As the man was still staring straight at her, she thought he was still in exasperation.

Jake glanced at her and sat back. After pondering for a while, he finally replied placidly, "Yeah, I know that there's nothing between you and Jonas. You have the freedom to have your own friends, too. However, I can't pretend that I don't mind what comes into view. Just bear in mind not to let me see anything that I don't like."

Jake felt that he was already treating Megan unusually well by being lenient with her. Nevertheless, he was green with envy whenever she was seen closer to any man.

"Ah! Really? Are you being serious?" Megan asked excitedly.

Her face lit up and her eyes widened in disbelief.

"There's no need for me to lie to you." Jake glanced at her meaningfully and pinched her cheek lightly.

Megan was relieved and her lips curved into a smile. She nodded thankfully at Jake with smiling eyes and grabbed hold of his hand instinctively.

It means I can continue to befriend Jonas! This man can be understanding in a way too!

Later, Jake asked her about the incident which caused her to sustain her injuries. After she described to him what had happened, he told Megan that he had to leave at once to settle something. Somehow her instinct told her that he was actually going to confront Mia on behalf of her.

No matter how Megan tried to hold him back from confronting Mia by convincing him that she was just sustaining minor injuries, she had a feeling that he would not listen to her.
