Ch. 1981..1990
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1981
Luna returned to Joshua’s house with many thoughts swirling in her mind.
As soon as they entered the house, Luna smelled the fragrant scent of home-cooked food.
She followed the smell into the kitchen and discovered that Bonnie and Theo had prepared an entire table full of dishes.
Luna froze when she saw this.
Had Bonnie not been in a bad mood that day?
She had been crying ever since Christopher and Jim came to visit this morning, so how had she recovered so quickly that she was able to cook and make such a hearty feast?
“Come help us.” Theo, who was bringing steaming plates of food out of the kitchen, caught sight of Luna staring at Bonnie in bafflement. He quickly summoned her into the kitchen to help them.
Luna took off her coat, frowning, shoved it into Joshua’s hands, and strode into the kitchen.
She asked in a low voice as she took another plate from Theo, “What’s going on with Bonnie? I s she trying to distract herself from the pain?”
Theo furrowed his brows, but before he could reply, Bonnie rolled her eyes at Luna and said, “. Do I look like such a weak person to you?”
With that, she handed a plate of food to Luna and added, “Harvey and Shelly have probably arrived at the airport now. After being separated from me for so many days, Harvey told me that he craved my cooking more than anything.”
Then, she lowered her head to glance at her phone. “Sean has probably already picked them up from the airport and are on their way here now.”
Luna froze for a moment, then immediately came to. “Jim was the one who flew the kids over, wasn’t he?”
After all, he had announced that he and Charlotte’s wedding was set to be held a week from this moment, and according to Luna’s understanding of him, he would insist on Harvey and Shelly being there for the ceremony.
As soon as she thought of this, Luna could not help noticing the irony.
Shelly.
This was the name Bonnie had given his daughter, but all of a sudden, he was marrying another woman…
“That’s right.” Bonnie pursed her lips slightly. “No matter what the truth is, he still has to put
on a show to the public and pretend that the children and Charlotte get along. Otherwise, they’ll become the laughing stock of Merchant City.”
Luna let out a sigh. “Since Jim was the one who had flown them over, surely he wouldn’t have allowed Harvey and Shelly to come here, would he?”
Not only that, but Bonnie had even asked Sean to pick them up as soon as their plane landed.
Jim’s attitude toward Bonnie that morning had been evident, and Luna was worried that she would end up disappointed after having put so much effort into welcoming Harvey and Shelly.
Bonnie furrowed her brows and was about to say something in reply when her phone rang.
It was a call from Sean. She picked up the phone excitedly. “Have you picked them up yet?”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1982
Just as Luna thought that Sean would bring disappointing news, a young boy’s clear, loud voice rang out from the phone, “We’re already on our way! Aunt Bonnie, this man you sent to pick us up is a genius!
“He was so good at driving that he managed to lose Mr. Jim’s men almost immediately! It feels so surreal to be in a car chase like this!”
A grin spread across Bonnie’s face when she heard Harvey’s cheerful voice, “That’s great to hear! Me and your Aunt Luna are waiting for you, so you’d better come home quick!”
Harvey nodded. “Okay! I also brought a surprise for Aunt Luna!”
With that, he hung up the phone.
Bonnie put down the phone in relief and returned to the kitchen to make some more food.
Meanwhile, Luna was a little baffled by the entire exchange.
She never thought that Sean would have been capable of picking up Harvey and Shelly before Jim’s men could and had even lost them in a car chase.
After all, Sean was just a young mechanic in his twenties, and it was not easy for him to evade capture by Jim’s men while at the same time taking care of a six-year-old boy and a barely two -month-old baby…
In Luna’s opinion, this was a fantastic feat.
No matter how shocked Luna initially was, she was still happy about Harvey and Shelly’s arrival for Bonnie.
She quickly strode into the kitchen to help Bonnie.
Half an hour later, when Sean’s car pulled up at the gate, Luna finally understood why Sean could have successfully accomplished this task.
She felt the blood rush into her head as she stared at the young boy wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who was getting out of the car with his laptop in his hand.
At this moment, she finally understood what Harvey had meant by the surprise he had brought her.
“Are you unhappy to see me, Ms. Luna?” Nigel lifted his head to stare at Luna.
“I…” Luna bit her lip, stormed forward, and immediately pulled Nigel into her arms. “What are you doing here?”
How could she be unhappy to see him?
Nigel had refused to talk to her properly ever since she failed to send them off at the airport when he, Neil, and Nellie had departed to Banyan City a year ago.
Every time Neil and Nellie talked to Luna on the phone or through video calls, he would avoid her and sometimes even hide.
The last time she returned to Banyan City, Luna had initially wanted to spend some time with Nigel to make it up to him.
However, their initial one-week trip had been brought forward because of what happened with Jim and Charlotte, and therefore, Luna never got the chance to spend much time with Nigel
Because of this, Luna was elated beyond words to see Nigel.
The fact that Nigel had willingly come to Merchant City to see her meant that he had forgiven her!
How was she not excited by that?
“I’m here to help you guys, of course.” Nigel let out a somewhat helpless sigh as Luna hugged him and furrowed his brows. “Ms. Luna, you’re hugging me a little too tightly.”
Luna froze for a moment, then released her grip on Nigel. “Mommy doesn’t need your help; the fact that you’ve come all the way here to see me already makes me the happiest woman alive.”
Luna was so delighted that tears started to stream down her face. She wiped her tears haphazardly and could not stop muttering things to Nigel as she hugged him.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1983
Somewhat flustered by Luna’s reaction, Nigel lifted his head to glance at Joshua, who stood at the door. “Are you going to just watch, Mr. Lynch?”
Joshua curled his lips into a smile, leaned against the door frame, and teasingly answered,” You’re the one who made her cry, so it’s your responsibility to make her smile again. I’m not going to get involved in this.”
Nigel rolled his eyes at him and gently patted Luna’s shoulder. “That’s enough now, Ms. Luna. I’m starving.”
Luna froze for a moment, then let go of him.
She lifted her head and discovered that Bonnie, too, had started crying while embracing
Harvey.
Harvey let out a sigh and gently patted Bonnie’s back in reassurance. “It’s okay if you feel like crying. I…”
He glanced in Nigel’s direction and explained, “I only found out what had happened in Merchant City after Nigel showed the information to me on the plane. I can’t believe that…you
and Mr. Jim had ended up like this, but don’t worry-“.
He reached out to pat Bonnie’s back once more and declared, “I’ll try my best to help you no matter what!”
Bonnie sniffed and tried to force out a smile, but tears started falling down her cheeks once
more.
She was crying so hard at this point that she could not even say a single word. .
All the pain and misery she had been put through during the past few days seemed to have consolidated into big, wet tears spilling down her cheeks, only to be released before this young boy that she trusted with all her heart.
After a while, when Bonnie had finally calmed down, the car door opened once more.
June, wearing a formal dress, stepped out of the car, holding a tiny baby in her arms gingerly.
Luna glanced at Bonnie, still crying in Harvey’s arms, and decided to take the baby herself.
The last time Luna returned to Banyan City, she had met Shelly too, but only for a few minutes. Even then, she could not help noticing that Shelly looked uncannily like Nellie when she was a baby.
As she held the baby in her arms once more, she suddenly realized that…
This baby was almost identical to Nellie.
Luna furrowed her brows, staring at Shelly in bewilderment.
In the past, she had thought that the reason Shelly and Nellie looked alike was that she and Jim were siblings, and the two girls had inherited their features.
However, on second thought…
Nellie was the one who resembled Joshua the most out of the three children.
She had inherited Joshua’s delicate features and sharp, beautiful jawline.
Even though her face was not as chiseled as Joshua’s, everyone could still tell at first glance that this girl was Joshua’s daughter.
At this moment, the child in Luna’s arms looked almost identical to Nellie when she was young
Luna’s arms tightened around the swaddle.
She lowered her head to scrutinize Shelly’s face once more, and all of a sudden, a strange thought popped into her mind.
Was Shelly…the daughter that she and Joshua had lost?
As soon as she thought of this, Luna bit her lip, glanced at Joshua, and beckoned him over.” Come take a look at this child.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1984
Joshua furrowed his brows as he walked over to Luna and lowered his head to glance at Shelly.
He had never seen Nellie when she was a baby before, and therefore, he could not understand why Luna appeared so excited at this moment.
He gave the child a once-over and smiled. “She’s as adorable as Nellie.”
“Is that the only thing you have to say about her?” Luna furrowed her brows and was about to say something when she caught sight of a crying Bonnie.
All of a sudden, the words got caught in her throat.
She knew how much Bonnie loved this baby, and she could not bring herself to tell Joshua that this child could be theirs right in front of Bonnie.
“I’ll take her.” Bonnie wiped her tears, strode over to Luna, and took the baby from her. Then, she pointed at the table of food in the dining room and glanced at Joshua and Luna, smiling.” You two must be hungry, having been out all day. Why don’t you guys eat with Harvey, June, and Nigel?
“I’ll look after Shelly for now and join you guys after she’s gone to sleep.”
She turned and walked away with the baby in her arms.
Luna remained motionless, watching Bonnie leave, and could not help feeling as though someone had stabbed a knife into her heart.
She dreamed of finding her lost child day and night, but Bonnie, on the other hand…had just gone through an abortion and lost her and Jim’s baby.
To Bonnie, Shelly and Harvey were like gifts from God, especially Shelly.
Even though she was not truly Bonnie’s daughter, she had been raised by Bonnie since birth, and Bonnie treated her as her own.
Luna closed her eyes and clenched her fists next to her.
Seeing that neither Luna, Joshua, or Sean had said a word, Theo had no choice but to sigh and beckon everyone over to the dining table while he plopped into a chair. “Come on, let’s eat now. Aren’t you all hungry? It’s already past dinner time now, and we have three guests joining us today, so let’s eat!”
Nigel put down his laptop, took off his coat, and corrected Theo earnestly, “Uncle Theo, this is my Daddy’s house, so to be specific, this is my house too. I shouldn’t be welcomed as a guest here.”
Theo paused for a moment, then burst into laughter upon hearing this. “You’re right; you’re the boss here.”
Nigel chuckled, beckoned Harvey and June over to the table, and then strode to Joshua and Luna. “Sir, Ma’am, the host has invited you to join us for dinner.”
Luna finally snapped out of her stupor and followed him to the table.
During the meal, she could not help recalling all the information she knew about Shelly.
This girl had appeared the next day after she lost her daughter, or so she thought.
At that time, Jim had just claimed that Shelly was his daughter but refused to reveal any more information about Shelly’s mother.
Every time Luna inquired him about this, he would tell her that this information was restricted, and even if Bonnie demanded to know the answer and accused him of cheating on her, he would still keep his mouth shut.
“The only thing I can say is that this information is strictly forbidden.”
At that time, Luna had even secretly looked down on her brother, thinking that he was not as loyal and faithful as he claimed to be.
At this point, however…
She could not help wondering about the actual reason why Jim refused to tell anyone the true identity of Shelly’s mother.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1985
Could it be that this woman with whom Jim had borne a child did not exist?
Could she and Joshua be Shelly’s real parents instead?
The more Luna thought about this, the more likely it seemed. Otherwise, there would be no way of explaining why Shelly resembled Joshua so much.
“Luna?” Joshua’s low voice quickly pulled Luna back to reality.
She lifted her head in confusion. “Yes?”
As soon as she did this, she suddenly realized that the three children and Theo had already finished their meal and were seated on the sofa, chattering about the news on TV.
The only two people left in the dining room were Joshua and her.
Joshua shot her a somewhat helpless look, then placed some more food on her plate.” Something on your mind?”
Luna paused for a moment, shook her head, then nodded.
She had no intention of revealing what she was thinking about to Joshua yet.
She was worried that after voicing her doubts to Joshua, he would approach the child and catch a glimpse of her more often.
Luna feared this would displease Bonnie.
Joshua furrowed his brows when he noticed how absent-minded Luna seemed. Even though he did not know what she was thinking about, he could still tell that she did not intend to share it with him.
If that was the case, he did not want to push her further.
He curled his lips into a smile and stood up. “I’m going upstairs to take care of Shelly so that Bonnie can come down to spend some time with you. How does that sound?”
He thought that some alone time with her best friend was probably what Luna needed.
However, to his surprise, Luna immediately rejected his offer. “No!”
As soon as she finished her sentence, Luna suddenly realized that she had behaved too outwardly and that Joshua would misunderstand her.
She let out a slight cough and said in a low voice, “What I meant was that…I don’t think you’d know how to care for such a young baby.
“You should let June and Theo do it.”
June knew how to take care of Shelly, whereas Theo was an adult, so they seemed like the appropriate candidates to look after Shelly.
Joshua could not help furrowing his brows when he heard this.
It seemed that whatever Luna had been thinking about had something to do with Shelly. Nonetheless, he did not expose her lies at all.
He got up, went to find Theo and June, and told them this.
The two of them promptly agreed and disappeared up the stairs.
Soon, Bonnie came downstairs, and Joshua quickly found an excuse to leave the room with Nigel, claiming that he wanted to do some studying about new hacking technology with Nigel.
Initially, he had wanted Harvey to come with them, but as soon as Harvey heard this, he lost interest and decided that he would rather stay in the living room, watching crime documentaries.
Bonnie sat next to Luna and asked, “Is something wrong?”
Luna hesitated for a moment. If she denied this, Bonnie would grow suspicious of her.
Therefore, she let out a sigh and lifted her head to glance at Bonnie. “I feel sad for you.
“Even though Harvey and Shelly managed to escape this time, Jim and Charlotte will surely find them…”
As soon as she finished her sentence, there came the sound of brakes screeching from outside.
Sean quickly stormed into the room and declared, “That man from this morning is here again.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1986
Luna froze, then exchanged a glance with Bonnie.
Speak of the devil.
The man Sean was talking about was Jim, no doubt.
“Did he come alone?” Luna asked, frowning.
Sean shook his head. “He brought a woman with him… The two of them are holding hands, and they appear to be very much in love!”
With that, he glanced at Bonnie and asked, “Do you…maybe want to hide somewhere?”
Bonnie curled her lips into a smirk. “Why do I have to hide?”
They were here for her, were they not?
Sean had no answer to that, so he turned to glance at Harvey. “How…about you?”
Even though Sean had just started working for Joshua two days ago and was still unsure about the complicated relationships between these people, he knew that the man who had arrived that morning was Jim Landry, the young master of the Landry family.
As a lowly mechanic at the bottom of the societal hierarchy, he was not supposed to know about the people at the top of the food chain, but he bore too much resemblance to Jim.
Every time his old boss at the factory saw any news of Jim, he would walk over to Sean and pat his shoulder teasingly, telling him to work harder so that they could use his namesake as a testimony of their work.
Because of this, Sean was more than familiar with this man.
After two days of being here, he could tell that Ms. Bonnie loved this man very much.
Not only that, but the car he had driven to the airport to pick Harvey and Shelly up belonged to the Landry family.
Therefore, it was clear what Jim was here for.
He came for Harvey and Shelly.
“Why do I have to hide from him?” Harvey, who was slumped on the sofa watching his documentary, grabbed a lollipop, removed its wrapper, and shoved it into his mouth. Then, he curled his lips into a smile and added, “Mr. Jim and his fiancée are here to find me, so won’t they have come in vain if I were to hide?
“Since my stepmother wants to see me, why would I refuse to see her? I’m not that cruel.”
With that, he turned to glance at Luna and Bonnie. “What do you say, Aunt Luna, Bonnie?”
Luna suddenly realized that instead of calling her ‘Aunt Bonnie’, Harvey had resorted to calling Bonnie by her name.
She pursed her lips and asked in a low voice, “Since when did he start calling you by name?”
Bonnie curled her lips into a smile. “Today.”
Luna narrowed her eyes and snickered. “It seems that he’s determined to stand by your side.”
Harvey had only found out about Jim’s memories being wiped and subsequent breakup with Bonnie today. As soon as this happened, he immediately gave up on calling Bonnie ‘Aunt Bonnie’ and chose to refer to her by her name instead.
It was clear what he was trying to do.
“Of course. He’s like my flesh and blood now,” Bonnie whispered in reply. Then, she lifted her head to glance at Sean, still standing by the door. “Let them in.”
Sean paused for a moment, but no matter how reluctant he was to do so, he still obeyed her commands.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1987
“The entire house smells so good; there must’ve been a feast.”
A few seconds later, the front door swung open, and a sharp woman’s voice rang out from outside the house, “Is this some sort of celebration? I can’t believe she has the audacity to celebrate the kidnapping of other people’s children.”
Luna furrowed her brows upon hearing this. She was just about to say something when Harvey smiled and piped up, “I haven’t seen my Mommy Bonnie in almost a week, so she made me a feast to celebrate our reunion. What’s wrong with that?”
The boy turned around and scrutinized the woman who had entered the room, holding Jim’s arm as she did. “Your taste has been getting worse and worse, Mr. Jim. I can’t believe you gave up such a beautiful woman like my Mommy and ended up with this skank.”
Charlotte widened her eyes in shock, then shot Harvey a cold glare.
The apple never fell far from the tree; this bitch’s son was just as repulsive as she was.
“Harvey!” Jim furrowed his brows and glanced sharply at his son. “Where are your manners? Is this how I raised you?
“Charlotte is my fiancée, and she’s going to be your new mother in the future, so how can you talk about her like that?”
“Am I not speaking the truth?” Harvey crossed his arms in front of his chest and explained,” Even if she’s your fiancée, and the two of you are getting married soon…what does this have to do with my thinking that she’s ugly?
“Should I lie just to appear polite? This isn’t what you taught me at all, Mr. Jim.”
The color drained from Jim’s face upon hearing this.
He never expected this boy would be sharp as a whip.
Truth be told, he could not remember much about his son; the only memories he had of Harvey were of him as a baby.
He had grown up in the blink of an eye, but Jim somehow found it a little difficult to stomach this fact.
Despite that, this did not make it appropriate for Harvey to say such things!
“Do you have to criticize other people just to appear honest?” Charlotte retorted, staring coldly at Harvey. “Little one, you know full well that I’m a good-looking woman, yet you chose to tell such lies. Whom are you trying to please here?”
Jim furrowed his brows upon hearing this.
He immediately lifted his head to shoot Bonnie a frosty glance.
Charlotte was right. Harvey was just six, so surely he was doing this just to please his ‘Mommy
Not only that, but his son and daughter had been abducted by other people as soon as they got off their plane, and no matter how hard his men tried, they could not keep up with the kidnapper.
As soon as he thought of this, Jim grew even more certain that Harvey was just trying to please Bonnie. He curled his lips into a sneer and said, shooting Bonnie a look of contempt,” To use a child as a weapon is the most shameful act I’ve ever seen.”
With that, he put his arm around Charlotte and strode over to Bonnie. “Bonnie, I knew you’d be upset after finding out about my and Charlotte’s engagement, but I hope that you’ll display your anger appropriately instead of resorting to such despicable measures.
“How shameless of you to kidnap my children from underneath my eyes and brainwash them like this!”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1988
Bonnie faltered upon hearing this
She stared at Jim’s face, which was etched with hostility and contempt, and a sneer crept onto her face. “Judging someone without even trying to understand the whole picture. Is this what kind of person you are, Jim Landry?”
Bonnie crossed her arms at her chest and said, smirking, “I used to come across people like this, who pointed fingers at other people whenever something went wrong instead of reflecting on themselves,
“Now that Harvey has said these, why don’t you consider the reason he’s so hostile toward you and Charlotte instead of just blaming everything on me?
“Jim, you’re not at all different from these selfish, arrogant bastards.”
Jìm narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. He stared coldly at Bonnie and replied, “But Charlotte said,”
landed on Jim’s bandaged hand. At that moment, she felt as though an invisible hand was squeezing her heart.
everything Charlotte said was like the holy grail to him!
like a mindless chimp?”
The color drained from Charlotte’s face. She furrowed her brows, tightened her grip on Jim’s face, and shot Bonnie a pitiful look as she bit her lip. “Ms. Bonnie, I know you don’t like me, but…”
“But what?” Bonnie shot her a cold glance and said contemptuously, “Enough is enough, Charlotte. Do you honestly think there’s nothing I can do against you?”
Charlotte’s face turned an even paler shade of white.
She sucked on her lip harshly, glanced first at Bonnie, then at Jim, and quickly let go of his
arm.
Then, she sniffed as tears brimmed in her eyes. “Jim, I already told you I didn’t want to come with you to pick Harvey up, but you insisted on me coming so that I can get to know Harvey better, but now…”
She wiped her tears and whimpered, “You saw what happened… She threatened to hurt me.”
Jim furrowed his brows upon hearing this, then quickly reached out to pull Charlotte into a
tight embrace. “Anyone who dares to hurt you, I’ll make them pay a hundred times over!”
“Is that so?” Before Bonnie could say anything in reply, Harvey stood up and dusted himself
Jim frowned, staring at this mini version of himself. “Of course; I’m a man of my word.”
“Alright then.” Harvey let out an exhale, leaped off the sofa, and stomped over to Jim and Charlotte.
“Ouch—!” A shrill scream came out of Charlotte’s mouth as soon as Harvey brought down his
As soon as she stopped screaming, Harvey righted himself and lifted his head to stare at Jim with wide, innocent eyes. “Does this count as hurting your precious Charlotte, Mr. Jim?
“Since you said you will make whoever hurts her pay a hundred times over, does this mean you’ll chop off my leg now?”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1989
With that, Harvey plopped down in a nearby chair and raised his leg, offering it to Jim. “Come on Even though I’ll be disabled in the future, I can’t escape my fate since I used this leg to hurt the woman you love the most.
“So what if your son is going to be a cripple? What’s most important is the woman in your arms!”
Jim narrowed his eyes when he saw how audacious his son was behaving. He could hardly believe that this stubborn, mischievous boy was his offspring.
This boy had not inherited a single hint of his calmness and maturity at all!
“Come on now,” Harvey piped up, seeing that Jim did not say anything. “Are you hesitating, Mr. Jim? What’s there to even hesitate about? Doesn’t this woman matter the most to you?”
He exhaled, shifted into a more comfortable position in his chair, and fixated his cold, determined gaze on Jim’s face. “I know you lost your memories, so now, let me tell you how close we used to be in the past.
“If you don’t believe me, you can go check your email. During the time I lived with Shelly and Bonnie in Banyan City, apart from calling her every day, you’d also send me an email daily, and I’d write one in return.
“The two of us had kept this up for a long time, but a few weeks ago, you stopped emailing me, so I asked Bonnie if anything had happened to you. She told me that maybe you had been so busy planning a surprise for her trip to Merchant City that you forgot to email me.
“When she finally went to Merchant City, I’d talk to her every day, and she’d always tell me that you and she were doing fine and that you were having such a good time that you forgot to contact me.”
As soon as he thought of this, Harvey let out a small sigh and said, “I was a little dubious of Bonnie’s words, but I still chose to believe her..
“However, it was only today that I found out everything. Nigel saw that I was still oblivious and finally told me the truth: you had lost your memories, and none of this had anything to do with Bonnie at all.”
He shot Bonnie a pitiful glance, then sighed and continued, “I was the one who chose to come here as soon as we got off the plane instead of returning home with you.
“Shelly is still too young, and she doesn’t know yet how cruel of a person her father is, but I knew. Therefore…”
He let out another deep exhale and said, “Therefore, I am declaring that, on behalf of me and my sister Shelly, from today onward, we will disown you as a father.”
He leaped off the chair, strode over to Bonnie’s side, and grabbed hold of her hand. “From today onward, Shelly and I will be Ms. Bonnie Craig’s children and no one else’s.”
No one had seen this coming at all.
Luna furrowed her brows, glancing at Bonnie and Harvey, and bit her lip nervously.
Joshua, who had come downstairs among the commotion, chuckled and said, “You’re my Aunt Lucy’s grandson, alright.”
Calm, collected, mature, resolute, and most importantly, did not tolerate any nonsense.
Even though he was only six, he could not help thinking that Harvey would become an exceptional leader in the future.
His Aunt Lucy would be happy to see how her grandson turned out…
“This… What do you think of this, Jim?” Charlotte was more than delighted to hear this.
She had been trying to think of ways to get rid of these two scoundrels, and since Harvey had volunteered to disown Jim, she was more than overjoyed!
However, she still stared nervously at Jim, feigning worry.:”Jim, why don’t…why don’t we…”
“I refuse.” Jim narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at Harvey. “You have no right to disown me.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1990
“Why can’t I?” Harvey bit his lip and clung to Bonnie’s arm. “I want to be with my Mommy Bonnie! You found a new girlfriend, but I don’t like her at all, Mr. Jim!”
Jim narrowed his eyes at Harvey’s words.
He knew that if he did not bring Harvey home that night, this little rascal would really disown him!
If Harvey had been elsewhere, Jim would have been capable of using brute force to bring Harvey away from Bonnie, but this was Joshua’s house and hence, his territory.
He could ignore Bonnie’s feelings, but not Joshua’s.
If Joshua were displeased by this, he could choose to destroy Landry Group as quickly as that.
Jim did not even dare to imagine the consequences of this.
“Jim.” Charlotte let out a sigh, as though she could tell why he was hesitating, and said in a low voice, “Why don’t we go home to think this through? Now that Harvey is so determined, we can’t possibly try to forcefully take him. Besides…”
She let out another sigh. “We can’t afford to offend Joshua Lynch…”
“He’s my son, Charlotte.” Jim, who had always been obedient and relenting toward her, suddenly refused to listen to anything she said.
Harvey and Shelly were his children. If he chose not to bring Harvey home with him that night, it would be even more difficult to do so in the future.
He knew that Harvey would take his returning home without him as a silent agreement of their separation.
Jim could not let this happen!
He himself had grown up without his birth mother, but even then, he was still fortunate enough to meet someone like Rosalyn, who had treated him as though he was hers.
However, could he say the same for Harvey and Shelly?
He was worried that Bonnie would mistreat them, and what if her future boyfriend was someone violent?
Besides, she was not related to either of these children, so he could not possibly allow his offspring to stay by another woman’s side!
However, at the same time, he knew it was not feasible to take the children away by force.
Therefore, Jim let out an exhale, tried to suppress his rage, and stared at the boy standing
before him. “Harvey, I refuse your terms, and I’ll do anything to bring you home with me tonight.
“Tell me, what do I have to do to make you follow me home?”
He did not want to do this the hard way.
Harvey could not help smiling when he saw how gentle Jim was behaving.
He was right. Even after losing his memories and being mind-controlled by Charlotte , Jim’s weakness was still his children.
As long as he threatened to disown him, Jim would give in.
After all…this was the same tactic he had employed to force Jim to bring him to Banyan City and find his birth mother.
As soon as he thought of this, Harvey could not help letting out a sigh.
The only thing he wanted was for Jim to break up with Charlotte and get back together with Bonnie, but no matter how much he wanted this, he knew that he had to take it a step at a time.
