Chapter 3337 Can I Hug You

Jonas lowered his gaze, quietly looking at the woman in front of him. Eventually, the mixed feelings in his heart turned into evil thoughts.

His eyes darkened as he reached out to play with the hair that lay on Megan's shoulders, rubbing it between his fingers.

Curling her hair around his finger, the soft, strong texture made his body heat up even more. He looked at her clenched fists and reddened ears and could not help but think, are her lips as soft as her hair? The more he thought about it, the more excited he got. Furthermore, the silence in the room further intensified the desire in his heart.

"Can I hug you?" Jonas asked as he let go of her hair, watching the strands falling back onto her shoulders. Unable to understand the reason for his request, Megan widened her eyes in confusion.

The first thing that caught her eyes was his strong chest. Blinking helplessly, she forced herself not to think about the fact that he was half-naked.

"Um... Why? Even if we're going to hug, you still have to put on some clothes first..."

Confused, the only thought that popped into her mind then was to leave quickly. However, she knew that if she had turned around and ran right then, he would once again think that she hated him. After all, he was only half-naked. Given his sensitive state then, it was inevitable that he would overthink.

Jonas laughed lightly upon hearing Megan's answer as a dark gleam flashed in his eyes.

For a split second, he had the urge to forcefully claim Megan for himself. However, she was looking at him with a worried and confused gaze, trust evident in her eyes. Therefore, his guilty conscience constantly prickled at him.

I really am a coward. But I can't bring myself to hurt her. If I really did it one day, it would mean that I must've been driven crazy by my feelings for her.

"Okay, I'll go get dressed."

Megan looked at his back, unable to comprehend what just happened. Why did he suddenly make such a strange request? Forget it. If it makes him a little happy, a hug between friends doesn't matter. With that thought, she waited outside his room while he got dressed. When Jonas came out to replace her a while later, someone from the production crew saw them talking outside his room and immediately ran over with a camera.

"You guys continue. Just treat me as invisible."

Noticing the pair still staring at him, the cameraman waved his hands quickly and moved a few steps backward, trying to make himself disappear from their sight.

Helpless, Megan forced a smile and said, "Do you mind? If you don't, I can give you a hug to help soothe your recent depressive feelings."

Her gaze was calm as she looked at him. In truth, she was not ignorant of his thoughts nor of the desire he had for her.

In the past, she was always evading and denying it. As long as Jonas did not openly say he liked her, she did not intend to admit it either. After careful considerations, she realized that perhaps it was because she was afraid she would really fall for him.

However, at that moment, her relationship with Jake was no longer the same one they had when they were younger. Thus, she knew that she should not let other things affect their relationship.

Once she had repaid whatever she owed Jonas, she could then ignore his love for her and continue treating him as a friend. In fact, she had previously quarreled with Jake over that very issue. Nonetheless, in that instant, she wanted to face Jonas' feelings for her calmly, just like how she was determined to become friends with him back then. After the hug, she would not think about the fact that he liked her anymore. At the same time, she would not behave in an overly friendly way with him.

Basically, she wanted to keep the familiarity but try not to become close friends.

"Judging by the look in your eyes, you seemed to have decided on something," said Jonas, for he noticed that the look in Megan's eyes was different from before. In the past, she would only look gloomily at him. Yet, for once, she was finally showing a smile.
