Jake clenched his teeth and suppressed his suspicion, not wanting to lose it. He knew that he should not have such complicated emotions since his relationship with her should be a normal employment relationship.
Since she admitted that she was Megan, she had to stay by his side, but he had no reason to force her to care about him.
After all, he only wanted to recover the past.
It seemed that he had finally figured out the contradiction of his bad mood for the past few days as he instantly calmed down. Looking away from Megan's eyes, he unhesitantly packed up his things and got out of the car.
Seeing this, Megan hurriedly followed him but kept a short distance from him.
They boarded the plane not long after they got out of the car. Silence hung between them throughout the journey. Megan was secretly glad about it but got increasingly anxious later.
She did not know what was on Jake's mind as he was not a man that could be easily fathomed.
After about five hours of flight, they finally reached the airport nearest to Megan's village, where they still had to take the bus to reach.
Therefore, Megan decided to take Jake to eat something at a nearby restaurant before taking the bus.
“What do you say we eat here?” Megan asked as they stood in front of an eatery that looked kind of shabby.
Jake glanced at it indifferently and pursed his lips with a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
“Go ahead. I'm not going.”
