Chapter 3245 Boss Of Mia
“Why do you look unhappy?” Jake purposely asked as he helped Megan up and raised his eyebrows.
Megan sighed with a helpless look on her face. “I wouldn’t have come back at all if you’ve not asked
me to come back. I don’t miss anything here.”
Her response was what Jake expected. When he suggested coming back to Queenston Village and
visiting Megan’s house, he had noticed that the look in her eyes spoke of irritation and not panic.
It was also for this reason that he gave Megan the benefit of the doubt.
“We’re gonna reach soon. It’s right there.” Megan pointed at one of the brick houses. Looking in the
direction she was pointing, Jake was a little shocked.
As he had found out, Megan’s family was poor. The houses around her house all had at least two
stories, but hers was still just a simple single-story house.
The two of them walked along the rugged mountain road for fifteen minutes before they finally came to
the flat land in front of Megan’s house. A middle-aged woman, who was sitting outside the house, was
stunned for a moment upon seeing the two of them. The next second, the look on her face became
menacing.
“Megan Rockfard, why did you come back, you brat!”
Garret did not forget that Megan had set her stuff on fire before she left. Previously, she insisted on
going to the city. Now that she shamelessly comes back with a man, it can’t be anything good.
“Calm down, Mom.” Megan felt embarrassed yet powerless. She did not want to come back, but she
knew that she could not allay Jake’s doubts if she did not come back.
Hearing Megan’s words, Garret went mad. How dare this brat tell me what to do after coming back
from the city? Taking a broom on the side, she charged at Megan, wanting to hit her like how she did
when the latter was a kid.
“So what if I don’t calm down? Are you afraid of being judged by others for coming back with a strange
man?”
Seeing her running over in a huff, Megan immediately dodged, whereas Jake frowned, not expecting Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
her mother to be so fierce.
“Stop it.” Jake easily stopped Garret’s waving hand with a grim expression on his face. “Is this what you
do as a mother?”
The man had an imposing presence. However, Garret had gone through a lot in life as a single mother;
so she was not afraid of him at all.
Pointing at his face, she lashed out, “Don’t you think that you can criticize me just because you dress
so well. I may not have seen as much of the world as you city folk do, but I know exactly why you are
here. You’re not going to get any money from me!”
It was apparent that Garret was uncultured as she had no idea that the cost of Jake’s outfit could buy
her food that lasted for a couple of years.
Feeling awkward, Megan hurriedly went to stand between the two of them and whispered into Garret’s
ear, “He’s a big boss in the city, Mia relies on him for her career. Your disrespect for him will ruin Mia’s
future.”
What Garret cared about the most was her own daughter. Upon hearing what Megan said, she
immediately put on a different expression as she scrutinized Jake for some time. In the end, she threw
away the broom and went up to him simpering.
“I apologize for my behavior earlier. I really didn’t know that you’re Mia’s boss. Please, come in and
have some tea.”
Jake was struck dumb by her sudden invitation, so he looked at Megan, who gestured for him to go in.
At the foyer, Garret served Jake a cup of tea but did not give Megan anything. The latter did not mind
as she simply sat down on a chair.
Seeing that Megan used her stuff, Garret was displeased deep down, but she kept quiet as she was
eager to ask about Mia.
