A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William)

Chapter 3321

Chapter 3321 Night Drive

After she hung up, Megan opened the door quietly and stretched her head out to survey the corridor.

She went on to walk out boldly when she found no one else in sight.

The stillness inside the villa made her feel that her footsteps were a little too loud, hence she removed

her shoes and crept downstairs. She did not put them back on until she reached the door.

As cautious as she had been, Megan was unaware that someone else was already onto her.

Away from the villa and beyond the doors was a stationary white Audi. When she approached and

rapped upon the window, Jake showed his face.

“Get in.”

Megan nodded before she opened the car door and stepped in. The jazz notes playing inside cleansed

through her fettered emotions like water. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Shall we start driving, or would you like to do something else?

The inside of the car was unlit, and the darkness that shrouded them was, somewhat, a source of

comfort for Megan. Yet, there seemed to be a peculiarity about the air around them.

She was vigilant as she glanced sidelong at him. “Drive. I just want to enjoy the breeze.”

Jake held on to the steering wheel and swept past her with the corner of his eye. His brows perked up

when he sensed the despondence in her voice. “Why? Are you still thinking about what happened in

the morning?”

Megan blinked when this was raised out of the blue, and tried to mask her feelings. Nevertheless, she

knew no amount of burying was going to prevent this from resurfacing again, one way or another.

So instead, she nodded in acknowledgment. Her inflection was clouded by self-doubt.

“Since you came to find me, I suppose that you must have forgiven me. But don’t you think that I had

been rash and foolish? I have always misunderstood you…”

She did not much like the idea of herself turning into a presumptuous and thoroughly self-besotted

person.

Jake regarded her calmly as she shared about her woes. The pointer on the speedometer had shot up

to the hundred-point mark. Against the backdrop of dusk, only the roaring of the car’s engine was

audible in the deserted roundabout.

Seeing the prolonged absence of a response from him, Megan assumed that it was a question which

he did not wish to answer. She let out a subdued sigh. There was a part of her which was emotionally

fraying.

All of a sudden, the taciturn one broke his silence.

He said, “It looks like the director had shared quite a bit. After thinking it over, I still don’t have an

answer to your question. Looking you up like this was probably not something that I would have done in

the past. But I do know that I couldn’t be at ease if I didn’t because you’re not with me.”

Jake’s expression was somber. He opened up the sunroof and the windows to the sides to let the wind

rush in. Megan’s troubled mind seemed to be left behind in the frost-crusted wilderness and replaced

with an extraordinary state of tranquility.

“Wow. This is great!”

The sensation brought about by the wind scouring past her face and the darkness and cold ramming

into her body were unprecedentedly liberating for her.

At this moment, there was nothing else she needed to obsess over. She only needed to completely let

loose.

“Scream if you want to. It’ll feel even better.”

With nary a soul in the vicinity, Jake’s eyes were fixated on the way ahead like a prowling cheetah as

the car ripped through the peacefulness of the night.

Megan took heed. She got onto her feet and extended the upper half of her body out from the sunroof.

The cold breeze lashed and tugged at her hair at will and tore into her face like a thousand knives, but

none of that bothered her. As though throwing down the gauntlet to the shapeless king of the night, she

opened her mouth and let the hoarseness of her scream rend the darkness.

“Ahh…”

She did not keep track of how long she kept at it, but she knew just about when she was unto her last

breath before she slumped back down into her seat.

All the turmoil she had undergone disappeared decisively and laid to rest.

Seeing that Megan was almost done venting, Jake closed all the windows back up and eased off on

the accelerator.

“Once I’m done here in the morning, I’ll probably be headed over to A Nation.”
