A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 3287

Chapter 3287 It Has To Be Me

The bad blood between Jonas and Mr. Whittemore started after he helped her at one of the drinking sessions. Ever since he met Megan, Jonas’ luck seemed to have been heading downhill.

She felt as if she was a curse to him.

Holding that thought, Megan endeavored to help Jonas no matter what. Or else, she wouldn’t be able to live with herself.

Patting him on the shoulders, she reassured, “Don’t worry. Since the rumors are of you being gay, all you need to do is find a girlfriend. It’s not that complicated, so don’t overthink it.”

Nevertheless, both of them were cognizant of how serious the repercussions of the scandal were. Megan’s words were no more than just a consolation. Clenching his fists, Jonas desperately racked his brains for a solution.

“It’s not complicated but neither is it a walk in the park. Even if I announced I have a girlfriend now, everyone would assume it’s just a cover-up.”

Megan nodded in agreement as Jonas did have a point. Leaning back into her chair deep in thought, Megan suddenly thought of someone.

“Hey! I know who the best person is to be your girlfriend!”

With her eyes sparkling, Megan jumped right in front of Jonas, catching him off guard. As he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows in surprise, he stared at her glowing face.

“Who do you have in mind?”

In spite of his doubtful tone, Megan smiled confidently and pointed proudly to herself. She declared, “Of course it’s me!”

The moment he heard her suggestion, Jonas fell into a long and deep silence. As his gaze darkened, he stared intently at Megan, not knowing if she was joking or was actually serious.

“Is that really your plan?”

“It does make sense, but…” Jonas furrowed his eyebrows as he felt conflicted. On one hand, he hoped that Megan would agree. On the other hand, he was worried that Jake would make things difficult for her.

After struggling with himself, Jonas closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

No matter what, he couldn’t bring himself to let Megan suffer for his sake.

When he opened his eyes, his gaze was calm. He proceeded to explain the possible consequences. “I’m sure you have thought of Jake. If you do this, he isn’t going to let you off easily.”

Megan’s eyebrows twitched in response.

She obviously knew what would happen. But, she was already mentally prepared and didn’t want to think about it.

Hence, she smiled with a nonchalant expression. “It’s alright. Don’t worry about that. What we should do next is to wear some couple accessories when we are out. We don’t have to overdo it as long as we allow them to take pictures.”
