Chapter 3313 Can You Depend On Me For Once

Smirking, he remarked sarcastically, "Are you sure a mere lucky charm can bring you the luck you need? Why don't you beg me instead?"

Megan snorted in return and started running her fingers through her hair on the couch. She replied with her eyes flickering, "I'm not supposed to do that if I'm serious about our relationship."

She had indirectly turned him down, implying she had no intention to depend on him.

Jake was unsure if he was on the right track because he had a hard time comprehending the affection she had for him.

He wondered if he should carry on with their relationship as she made it seem she would leave him anytime.

She has turned down my offer and refrained from being involved in a beneficiary relationship with me. Is she even meant to be my better half?

All things considered, the affection he had for her wavered. Nonetheless, he refused to think badly of her because of his already messed-up life. He thought it wouldn't be necessary to figure out Megan's intention even if it meant being deceived by her.

Unfortunately, Megan did the exact opposite of what he sought and had never taken him for granted as she was not unwilling to take advantage of him.

"Can you please depend on me every once in a while? I need to feel I'm the one you have in mind in times of emergencies."

Although they were miles away from one another, Megan was overwhelmed by emotions because of Jake's confession.

She was taken aback because he had mentioned something unbefitting of his identity, but she would never cave in to his request because those were against her will.

All along, she thought she didn't deserve a proud man like him, and a proud man like him should never grovel himself at others' mercy.

The foundation of their relationship was a lie. The moment she heard his confession, she realized that he had been living a lonely life, incapable of moving on from the past.

He was not much different from a child who was desperate for love. Megan happened to be the perfect candidate for the role. Thus, he would grovel at her mercy if those were required. "I-I want to know if you love me?"

Jake, who was on the other end of the call, went dead silent when he heard Megan's question. Grasping his phone in the pitch-black room, his abysmal pair of eyes flickered.

He stuttered his reply in a hoarse voice, "W-What do you mean by love?"

Over the years he had disconnected from his past, he had picked up all sorts of skills, but he seemed to have not learned to love.

No one taught him the proper definition of love. Instead, most of his seniors said he was the right candidate for the role because he had relatively few concerns in life.

Is love troublesome? Is it going to bind me in life?

Jake had a hard time comprehending the concept of love. Subsequently, he gave up when he started feeling lightheaded again.

On the other hand, Megan was rendered speechless by his reply. She had no choice but to pick herself up. Seconds after she returned to her senses, she asserted, "It's better for you to ignore my question because it's not a big deal. You should call it a day and tuck yourself in."

In order to conceal her anxiety, Megan hung up the call immediately after she bade farewell to him. After she saw that the line was no longer active, she let out a long sigh of relief.

It turned out Jake had yet to sort it out-he had merely carried on based on his intuition. To be precise, he wasn't conscious of the rationale behind his actions.

I guess I have been overthinking again, huh? I can't believe I almost confess the affection I have for him when he isn't even certain of our relationship.

She had brought up the concept of a lucky charm to conceal her sense of inferiority. As she deemed herself unworthy of him, she was determined to climb her way up the hierarchical structure and get others to acknowledge her.

She couldn't afford to accept any form of help from him because she was serious about their relationship.

Unfortunately, they seemed to have misperceived the other party's intention.

Megan knew it was no one's fault because their different pasts were the reason behind the differences in their lifestyles and thinking.

Josephine had been anticipating a reply from Megan. Thus, she asked, "Miss, do you need me to make you something to eat?"
