Chapter 3323 Lonesome Road
Knowing that he could no longer remain hidden, Jonas had no intention to avoid them either. He put on
a straight face and gazed upon them while he hugged his arms. His hair was tossed about wildly by the
sea breeze.
“Just driving around. This is the only deserted road in Horington.”
Jake was not sold on Jonas’ cover story. He wrapped his arm tighter around Megan’s hips and raised
his eyebrows as the residual glow from the headlights flared upon their faces.
“You’ve been following us, haven’t you? I’ve noticed a car on our tail but just chose not to point it out.”
Jonas smiled at the duo. His eyes were as forlorn as the night itself. “You’re as cautious as ever.
However, it’s not necessarily a bad thing as far as you’re concerned, since my giving up earlier would
only be of benefit to you.”
Mired in his voice was a certain detachment which emanated from within. Megan could hear, and see
the despondence in his body language. However, she could not choose to be with another out of pity or
gratitude.
“It is. I feel that for you to give up would be more of a tug of war, but I would let the matter slide for
tonight. Come on, Megan.”
Jonas watched as the couple walked to the car in each other’s arms and abruptly let out a laugh. There
was an element of flightiness to his tone. “Just remembered that Megan made dinner for me today, and
it was pretty decent.”
Those words left Megan stunned. Jake’s brows perked up, but he understood quickly that that was
merely Jonas’ last attempt to provoke him.
He turned around with lips curled and calmly regarded with confidence and pride the gaunt man
fighting to keep himself warm in the billowing wind.
Amidst the quietude of the road, Jonas could only hear his counterpart’s steady voice. “It doesn’t
matter, because she belongs to me from here on out. You can only taste her cooking just this once,
while I would be able to do so for the rest of my life. Etch that into your memory so that you may savor
that moment more when you grow old.”
Jonas was nonplussed. The only flavor he could get from reminiscing about it would be a bitter taste in
his mouth.
Jake was clearly mocking him.
On the lonesome road, Jonas leaned against his car as he watched the dust settle from the departing
white Audi with mixed emotions.
After being rejected umpteen times and witnessing their moment of tenderness for himself, why was it
that he was not driven to give up?
Did that stem from love, or a desire to possess?
The biting cold of the wind left one shivering, while his true sentiments continued to lay dormant.
Early in the morning on the second day, Megan discovered that she had caught the flu when she
roused groggily from her slumber.
She sat up helplessly and attributed the cause to exposure to the cold wind from the night before.
After she freshened up, she saw that Jonas and the rest of the production crew were already up. They
were standing over at the balcony, seemingly engrossed in a discussion.
Unable to restrain herself, she decided to join in. Coincidentally, the director turned around and the two
of them found them staring into each other’s eyes.
“Oh, you’re up, Megan. Good. We need to talk.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Martin picked up a notebook and tossed it to Megan. She saw that Jonas also had one exactly like that
in hand.
The trio then settled down together at the dining table.
“Both of you don’t look the part of a couple for this reality show, so I’ve no choice but to execute my
plan B. This is the script that we’ll be working with from now on. I’ll have everything you need to be
prepared in advance.”
The director sounded quite adamant and there did not seem to be grounds for negotiation. Megan was
quite astounded at first and exhaled with script in hand. It would seem that that was the only way they
would be able to move things forward.
With everything that had happened in the past few days, she was not confident that she would be able
to play a loving couple with Jonas without inhibitions.
A few days later, Megan’s filming in Horington finally came to an end.
After reviewing the initial cut, she was not able to feel the sparks flying between Jonas and herself.
Expectantly, the program was widely panned online when it premiered.
