Chapter 3193


    Wildcat


    Fortunately, Jonas had quick reflexes. He caught her in time and supported her to sit on the bed.


    After being carried over his shoulder all the way and finally being back on her feet, Megan felt much


    more at ease. Slicing a re at Jonas, her anger surged and she began castigating him, “Don’t you


    know how dizzy you made me? You’re such a brute!”


    “Oh, really? Well, I only be a brute when it’s necessary,” Jonas shot back with raised brows.


    Then, he pulled a chair over and sat down before elegantly taking off his shades and face mask.


    Looking at her with his proud eyes, he continued, “You’re like a wildcat, do you know that? Brute force


    is required to make sure you behave. Anyway, I’ll watch over you tonight. You can leave first thing


    tomorrow morning.”


    As soon as he said that, Megan jumped up from the bed. Pointing at him, her eyes went wide with


    disbelief as she yelled at the top of her lungs, “You’re going to stay in the same room with me? Don’t


    you think we have enough scandals already?”


    Seeing her getting so worked up, Jonas felt slightly disgruntled. He pressed his lips together and


    questioned with a hint of anger in his eyes, “What? Are you that upset to be involved in a scandal with


    me? Don’t you forget that you were the one who started this in the first ce!”


    “I…” Megan was rendered inarticte and her cheeks turned red. In the end, she shot him a few


    vicious res and gave up.


    Seated on the chair next to the bed, Jonas noticed the deted look on her face and chuckled softly. In


    better spirits, he didn’t continue provoking her.


    When the ward plunged into silence, the seconds seemed to stretch out like an eternity.


    Jonas’ slightly bleary eyes shifted to look at Megan’s face, which still held traces of anger on it. For


    some reason, he found her extremely cute in a unique way.

    “Has anyone told you you’re very beautiful?” Jonas propped his temple on a hand and popped this


    question out of the blue, his longshes fluttering in an alluring manner.


    “Hah! I wish.” Megan turned her face away and denied it with a dubious expression. She even thought


    that he was mocking her. “With Mia around, who would spare me a second nce? As far as


    appearances are concerned, I am indeed inferior to her.”


    It was a fact. No matter how much she resented Mia, Megan would never lie through her teeth and say


    otherwise.


    Hearing this, Jonas raised his brows in surprise. Drumming his fingers on his knee, he spoke in a rich


    voice, “Really? I think you’re really beautiful though.”


    “Huh?” Megan turned back to look at him in astonishment, thinking she had misheard him. With an


    embarrassed look on her face, she mumbled, “You don’t have to force yourself topliment me. No


    matter what happened between us, I just hope that it’ll all be over after tonight.”


    She did not want to have too much to do with Jonas. This was always her intention except for the first


    time. Every interaction from then on was mere coincidences.


    If more scandals about them emerged, it would only implicate Jonas. Hence, even if it was God’s will,


    she had to put a stop to this.


    However, Jonas did not seem to share the same sentiment. He just couldn’t rte to Megan’s reasons,


    nor could he understand why she would be bothered by some simple interactions.


    He began to wonder if he were the real problem.


    Jonas became more confused the more he thought about it. He stared at the woman with a


    Apart from anger, Megan could discern a hint of grievance in his tone, but she deliberately ignored it.


    Despite that, she still couldn’t bring herself to say anything cruel to him. When their gazes met, her


    resolution wavered and guilt snaked into her heart.


    “It’s better this way for both of us,” Megan stated calmly, but she already felt her resistance crumbling


    under his intense stare.


    She gulped twice and had to bow her head to avoid his gaze.


    “You think I’d be grateful to you for doing this? Well, don’t kid yourself.”


    Jonas stood up angrily as though he was unable to tolerate Megan’s perfunctory responses any longer.


    His handsome face clouded over while the frustration and conflicting emotions swirled in his eyes.
