A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 3313

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.

“1-1 want to know if you love me?”
