Chapter 3238 Confrontation

Megan's emotions were all over the place as she opened the door. Her feelings for Jonas were

somewhat complicated; she found herself even more befuddled after last night's events.

"Why are you looking for me?” Megan lowered her gaze. Strands of hair had escaped from under

the black cap she was still wearing.

Jonas took in her slightly messy appearance as he sat on a nearby sofa.

He lightly massaged his forehead as he asked rhetorically, “Why do you think I'm here?”

Megan refused to reply to his question. Both of them seemed reluctant to open the can of worms

that defined their complicated relationship.

"If there's nothing important, you can leave. I need to look through some scripts today.”

One night had caused enough damage to her relationship with Jonas. She was not in the mood to

face the guilt in her heart nor express gratitude toward him.

Relationships are complicated.

Megan thought the best course of action would be to ignore it.

“Looks like you're much calmer about last night's events than I am.” Jonas’ gaze darkened.

Megan began fiddling with her phone on the coffee table, assuming a calm demeanor while she

ignored his barb.

Jonas could not hold back his anger at her apparent indifference. He reached out and grabbed

Megan's wrist in an instant.

"Are you avoiding me?” His features were taut with tension as he scrutinized Megan's expression.

She looked at him in shock.

Megan was annoyed at his question. She shrugged off his grasp and put on an indifferent mask to

hide her unease. “I'm not avoiding you. In fact, I don't know why exactly I should be avoiding you. If

you're here to ask me why I disappeared last night, you don't have to beat around the bush.”

Since Jonas insisted on addressing the elephant in the room, she decided to confront him head-on.

"Ok, I'll come out with it then. Where did you go after I went upstairs?” He crossed his arms across

his chest, sneering at Megan's avoidant gaze. His feelings were a tangled mess.

Megan had an answer prepared for that. She lifted her head and looked at him calmly. She

suppressed the nervous feelings in her chest before saying, “Donna came to fetch me. She brought

me home.”

“Huh,” he scoffed as if she had just told him a joke. His eyes, however, were filled with rage.

"If you're telling the truth, why did I find this phone outside the door of Jake's bedroom?”

Megan's spine stiffened at his question. Curling her fingers, she stared wordlessly at the phone

Jonas had placed on the coffee table. It was her phone.

Jake must have dropped it when he carried me into his room. I must have been completely conked

out.

"You weren't drunk at all, were you? Did you run to Jake's room when I went upstairs to get my

keys? Seems like you were well-prepared last night.”

Jonas wore a mocking expression on his face. Megan could not help but clench her fists in

discomfort.

She glanced at Jonas and pursed her lips. She did not know whether to lie or tell him the truth.

“I'll give you two scenarios. You can decide which one to believe.”

She sighed wearily as she organized her thoughts. No matter how long I try to avoid this, it'll come

back to bite me in the back. My relationship with Jake is already complicated.

“The first scenario is that my phone was stolen and then accidentally left behind in front of Jake's

bedroom door. The second is that I was drugged, and Jake saved me at the last second.”
