A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 3290

Chapter 3290 Moving In Together

“I’m sure you’re aware that I don’t like to seek your help. Furthermore, I should be the one to repay my debt of gratitude to him. Even if I called you, the most you could do was to punish him. However, the rumors in the public sphere will be extremely damaging to him.”

Megan’s words were so selfless that they caused Jake’s heart to sink. Loosening his grip, the anger and insecurity in his eyes dissipated instantly.

The car suddenly fell into silence, causing the atmosphere to return to how it was when they had just met. As Jake suddenly became distant, the smirk on his face felt like a knife slicing through her heart.

“Fine. If you think public opinion will hurt him, did it then not occur to you that it will hurt me too?”

Unable to hide his trembling voice, Jake’s gaze darkened.

Megan’s expression changed drastically. The conflicting emotions of guilt and self-blame began to overwhelm her. She couldn’t deny that she had been too selfish and reckless in her decision.

When Jake, who had all this while been someone domineering, could no longer hide the hurt he felt, Megan realized that she had overestimated how emotionally strong he was.

Clenching her fists and on the brink of tears, she bit her lip gently and replied, “I’m sorry, I have unilaterally put you in the spot…”

Jake who had his head lowered throughout raised it slightly and let out a self-deprecating laugh. He sneered, “Are you finally willing to admit your mistake?”

“Mmm-hmm.”

When he saw her finally willing to admit her mistake, Jake couldn’t help but laugh mockingly. As his steely gaze showed no sign of softening, he raised his eyebrows while his expression remained just as gloomy.

“Since you have realized your folly, you shouldn’t involve yourself in Jonas’ problem anymore as I will deal with it. With regards to whose girl you are, I’ll be the one responsible for declaring it.”
