Chapter 3259 A Promise
Megan slowly rose to her feet with a hand supporting her sore back. The first things she saw were the messy clothes on the ground.
A blush crept onto her face before she paled. Upon realizing she had relented in the morning, awkwardness surged into her chest. Yet, she knew how tough it was for her to escape Jake’s charm.
Picking up the clothes from the ground, Megan patted her face, trying to calm herself. However, the embarrassment still flooded whenever she thought about having to see Jake later.
Knock, knock.
Just as Megan was lost in her thoughts, someone knocked on the room’s door. Coming back to her senses, she quickly opened it.
“You’re awake?”
It was none other than the person Megan did not want to see—Jake.
For a moment, she stood transfixed. Once she recollected herself, she promptly tried to shut the door.
However, Jake was swifter than she was. He stopped the door and squeezed through the gap into the room.
“The car is just downstairs. Don’t mess around anymore. It’s time to leave.” Jake then held Megan’s hand, not a trace of embarrassment to be found on his face. It was as though nothing had happened in the morning.
However, that was something Megan could not do.
She tried to retract her hand from his as a blush crawled onto her face again. Fortunately, the weather was cold, and it quickly cooled down her face that was burning up.
“Are you that stubborn about this?”
When Jake skidded to a stop, Megan nearly crashed onto his back.
For a moment, she only blinked at him. Then, she hid her face in her scarf.
“I’m not used to it.”
