A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 3371

Megan let out an awkward laugh and tried hard to conceal her embarrassment. She couldn't very well admit that she had entirely forgotten about him.

“No, no. Of course, I didn't forget about you. If it wasn't because something cropped up midway, I would've been home a long time ago.”

Megan knew she couldn't tell him that he didn't once cross her mind. Hence, she shook her head profusely, not daring to give him any reason to doubt her.

Jake dipped his head and easily caught sight of the guilt peeking from her eyes. Raising his brows, he inched his face closer to hers and retorted, “I bet you didn't think of me at all, did you? Lie better next time. Forget it. Tell me, what happened on your end?”

Tightening his arms around Megan, Jake did not ₛₑₑ need to dwell on trivial matters. Since she said something happened, this was what he should focus on asking instead.

Megan wasn't planning to tell him about this at first, but since he asked, refusing to share it with him would only arouse his suspicion. With a soft sigh, she began recounting everything from start to end.

By the time Megan was done, Jake's expression had already darkened a few shades. That woman clearly knows that I'm on Megan's side, but she still had the guts to behave so impudently.Do the artists under Starling Media think I'm a pushover?

“Hey, don't get angry because of something like this, okay? You haven't fully recovered from your cold yet.” Megan couldn't help but worry when he pursed his lips in silence. Looking up at his pensive eyes, she was afraid that he would make things difficult for Jacinta because of this incident.

She wasn't trying to protect Jacinta, but she felt that it was unwise to blow things out of proportion. With Jacinta's wide network, making a move against her would lead to an aftermath that was more trouble than it was worth.

After all, Jacinta did not threaten her in any way yet. Hence, she would only whip out Jake as her trump card when she really had no choice.

“Aren't you bothered by it at all?” Jake glanced at Megan from the corner of his eye with a hint of frustration lining his features.

Megan pressed her lips together and shrugged. “The fight's over between us. Why should I be bothered? Leave this matter alone for now, okay? It's not like she can do anything anyway.”
