Ch. 1991..2000

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1991

Charlotte had pure control over Jim, and it was already a miracle that he had managed to regain a little bit of his rationality and was willing to talk terms over him and Shelly, Therefore, Harvey knew that he could not rush things prematurely.

Thus, Harvey exhaled, glanced at Bonnie, Joshua, and Luna, and said with a hint of helplessness in his voice, “It’s not that I don’t want to go home with you, Mr. Jim.

“After all, this house belongs to my Aunt Luna and Uncle Joshua, and Shelly and I shouldn’t overstay our welcome.

“Landry Mansion is my real home, and it’s only natural that I want to go back, considering I’ve lived there for the past six years of my life, but…”

He turned to glance sadly at Bonnie. “I’m worried about Bonnie. Her hand is injured, she has just undergone surgery, and she also has a wound on her belly… Therefore, I want to stay by her side to take care of her.”

He lifted his head to stare at Jim with bright, hopeful eyes. “If you want Shelly and I to return home with you, Mr. Jim…you have to bring Ms. Bonnie with us.

“After all, Landry Mansion is huge, and the three of us can live in the small house in the yard where Granny used to live so that we won’t be intruding on you and your new girlfriend!”

“No!” Charlotte immediately objected before Jim could even open his mouth to speak. “I’ll never allow that!”

If Bonnie were to move into Landry Mansion, it would create plenty of opportunities for her and Jim to interact with each other.

Even though Jim and Bonnie had just met a few times, his impression of her had already begun to change for the better.

What would happen if they were to live together?

L

If they continued like this, Jim would one day be able to regain his memories of Bonnie!

As soon as this happened…Charlotte’s plan would have failed, and she would be chased out of Merchant City once more.

As soon as she thought of this, Charlotte’s face turned pale, and she quickly exclaimed, “We can’t let Bonnie move into Landry Mansion to live with us!”

“Charlotte…” Jim called out, frowning when he saw how big Charlotte’s reaction was.

Why was she so against letting Bonnie stay at their house? Harvey had already said that they would live in a separate place from the two of them.

Charlotte suddenly realized that she had lost control of her emotions. She sniffed and lifted

her head to smile sheepishly at him. “Jim, I was just worried that…”

il you’re worried that Jim will get back together with Bonnie if she were to live with you guys, right?” Luna interjected coldly, sneering.

She shifted into a more comfortable position in her chair and continued , “Haven’t you been denying all this while that she and Jim had dated in the past? If what you said was true, why are you so worried now?”

Charlotte clenched her fists upon hearing this. She narrowed her eyes and snapped through gritted teeth, “I never said this was what I was worried about. Since they’ve never been together in the first place, how can they-“.

“So what are you worried about, then?” Joshua interrupted her. “Are you worried that your loyal and faithful fiancée will cheat on you with Bonnie when he’s in close proximity with her? If so, I don’t think your relationship is as honest and trusting as you claim.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1992

“I…” Charlotte was so stumped by Luna and Joshua’s accusations that she could not even say a single word

She bit her lip, grabbed hold of Jim’s arm, and stared at him tearfully. “Jim, I’ve never doubted your love toward me or our relationship at all. It’s just that…”

She sniffed and wiped her tears from her face. “It’s just that Bonnie is so much prêttier than I am, and this makes me feel bad…”

As soon as she said this, Harvey stuck out his tongue mischievously and said, “You’re finally admitting the truth, huh?”

He glanced at Jim’s sullen face and added, “Mr. Jim, your precious Charlotte has just admitted that Bonnie is much prettier than she is.

“Therefore, everything I had said about her appearance when she walked in was just an honest description, and I hadn’t been criticizing her at all.

“So don’t you think I was brainwashed by Bonnie and said all that just to please her.”

With that, he winked at Charlotte. “After all, your little Charlotte just admitted that Bonnie’s beauty makes her feel bad!”

Charlotte’s entire body stiffened when she heard this.

A

She narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth.

This rascal! She should have choked him to death as soon as she saw him.

That way, he would not have been able to trick her like this!

“Okay, that’s enough.” Jim sighed, glanced first at a pale-faced Bonnie, then at Harvey, who had been standing in front of her all this while. “I agree to your terms.”

After all, he was only supposed to let Bonnie stay in the tiny house Rosalyn had lived in before being transferred to Lincoln City.

Even though the house was interconnected with the main house by a small door, as long as he locked the door properly, he would not have to see Bonnie at all. It would be as though she was just living next door instead of living in the same household with him.

That way, not only would he be able to bring his children home, but he would not have to interact with Bonnie at all.

In the future, as soon as Harvey and Shelly warmed up to him and Charlotte, he would be able to kick Bonnie out of the house.

This was an easy solution to all his problems.

As soon as he thought of this, Jim opened his mouth and said quickly, as though he was worried that he would regret his decision, “Pack your things; we’ll go now.”

With that, he shot Bonnie a meaningful glance and added, “You finally got what you wanted.”

This woman had been pestering him and trying to find ways of talking to him all this while.

At this moment, he had no choice but to allow her to move into his house, all because of his

children.

Bonnie must have been secretly delighted by this.

As soon as he thought of this, a look of contempt crept onto Jim’s face.

This was probably what she wanted, or why would she have spent so much time and effort taking care of two children who were not hers in the first place?

What a sly, cunning woman.

Charlotte was much more straightforward and simple-minded compared to her.

Just as everyone thought the decision was final… Bonnie lifted her head to stare at Jim and Charlotte, sneering. “I refuse to do this.”

These five simple words made the entire room go silent. Jim lifted his head to stare at her in shock. “What did you just say?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1993

“I said I don’t want to go home with you.” Bonnie curled her lips into a smirk and said, enunciating her words carefully, “I refuse to move into Landry Mansion to live with you, and I refuse to allow Harvey and Shelly to do the same.

“They’re my kids, and it’s my responsibility to protect them.”

Bonnie knew that even if she were to move to Landry Mansion, she would only be living in a small house in the yard where she would not have to see Jim at all.

Nonetheless, she did not want to go there, and neither did she want Harvey and Shelly to do the same.

“As long as Charlotte is living there, I won’t tolerate living under the same roof as her, and I won’t allow my children to do so either.”

That woman was too cunning, and Bonnie was worried that she would try to harm Harvey and Shelly

After all, even an adult like Jim had fallen prey to her tricks and ended up under her control.

She had already lost Jim; she refused to lose Harvey and Shelly.

Therefore, the only plan she could think of to protect the children was to keep them away from Charlotte.

Allowing them to return to Landry Mansion, where they would be in close proximity to her would only give Charlotte plenty of opportunities to hurt them.

She could not let her do this!

Jim stared at Bonnie, his features distorted in a scowl. “Don’t bite off more than you can chew, Bonnie Craig!”

It was already difficult enough for him to agree to Harvey’s terms and allow her to move into his house, but at this moment, this woman had the audacity to refuse and even claim that she would not move in as long as Charlotte was there.

What was she trying to do? Was she trying to force him to kick Charlotte out of the house?

That would never happen, not in a million years!

“I’m not trying to bite off more than I can chew.” Bonnie let out a sigh and fixated her cold, impassive gaze on him. “I was just expressing my opinion. Even though I’m not from Merchant City, Jim, I can still buy any house in Merchant City that I want.

“I have plenty of ways to ensure my own comfort in living, and therefore, I have no reason to want to live at Landry Mansion.”

In the past, she was constantly trying to think of ways to get close to Jim in hopes that he would regain his memories of her, but at this moment, she did not want to do that anymore.

Jim was not worth her time.

The only thing that mattered was protecting her children.

Jim was a little flustered when he met Bonnie’s resolute gaze.

Her eyes had lost the hope and determination that had been there just a few days ago, and staring back at him was a gaze so cold that it was as though she was staring at a stranger.

How did this happen…

Did she not claim that they had been together in the past and that she still loved him?

How could everything have changed in just a few days?

Was this woman’s love so short-lived that it would not last more than a week?

“Well, since Ms. Bonnie doesn’t want to, maybe we should respect her decision,” Charlotte piped up, disrupting the awkward silence. “Let’s go home now, Jim.”

With that, she snaked her arm around Jim’s and tried to drag him toward the door.

She should not have allowed him to come here tonight!

Initially, she had wanted to kill Harvey and Shelly during their flight with an explosion, but Nigel’s sudden appearance had ruined her plans!

This was why she was so flustered in their exchange. It was all Joshua and Luna’s fault!

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1994

“Alright, I’ll do it.”

Jim lifted his head to stare at Bonnie intently and said, “I’ll do as you say, Bonnie. Pack your bags now and get Harvey and Shelly ready.

“I’ll find a place for Charlotte to stay, and she’ll move out of Landry Mansion tomorrow.”

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone stared at Jim in shock.

Charlotte’s eyes were as round as saucers as she stared at Jim incredulously. “Have you gone insane, Jim?”

How could he have agreed to Bonnie’s terms and kicked her out of the house just so he could bring the two rascals home?

She was his fiancée, for God’s sake! How could he do this to her?

“I’d be insane if I chose not to let my children come home with me.” Jim let out a sigh, pulled Charlotte close to him, and said, “Don’t worry, Charlotte. I promise I’ll take care of everything.

With that, he lifted his head to glance at a bewildered Bonnie. “I’ve already agreed to your terms, so you should stick to your word and come with me.”

Bonnie had never expected this would happen.

She had deliberately made this request, knowing that he would never agree to kick his precious Charlotte out onto the streets so that he would give up trying to take the children from her.

After all, nothing mattered more to him than Charlotte, but…

She could not believe that he had agreed so promptly.

“Are you going back on your word, Ms. Craig?” Jim curled his lips into a smirk, seeing that Bonnie still made no move to get up from her chair. “Your family is still one of the biggest family businesses in Banyan City, so surely you aren’t someone who doesn’t stick to her promises, right?”

With that, he sneered and turned around, bringing a scowling Charlotte with him. “I’m going to bring Charlotte home first. There’s a van and two cars with bodyguards waiting outside. I hope you’ll stick to your promise, Bonnie.”

With that, he strode away, dragging a shell-shocked Charlotte with him.

Bonnie stared dazedly at their retreating figures and felt as though an invisible hand was

squeezing her heart, suffocating her.

When the two of them finally disappeared from view, Harvey let out a small sigh and turned to grin at her. “Come on, Bonnie, we’re going home now!”

Bonnie glanced at him, frowning, and said with a hint of reluctance, “I already told you, I don’t want anything to do with him anymore. Why did you insist on…”

Why had Harvey insisted on returning to Landry Mansion only if she were allowed to do the same?

Harvey pouted slightly and reached out to clasp her hand. “Are you going to abandon Shelly and me, Bonnie?

“That woman is terrifying, and Mr. Jim laps up everything she says like a dog. Not only that, but neither Granddad, Granny, or Aunt Luna are home…”

He sniffed and said with a hint of helplessness, “Surely there has to be an adult around to help and protect Shelly and me if we return, right? Otherwise, that woman will kill us at some point!

Bonnie sniffed and was about to say something, but in the end, she changed her mind, stood up, and hugged him instead. “I’m not blaming you; I just…”

Before she could finish her sentence, she sighed and changed the topic. “Let’s go pack our bags, shall we?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1995

Harvey finally burst into a wide grin, grabbed hold of Bonnie’s hand, and led her upstairs.

Luna could not help feeling touched as she watched them leave.

She never thought things would have ended up like this.

Even though Harvey and Bonnie were not truly related, their relationship was so close that it was as though they were mother and son.

Harvey was worried about Bonnie, and that was why he requested for Jim to let her stay with them at Landry Mansion.

On the other hand, Bonnie was concerned about Harvey’s safety, which was why she had requested for Charlotte to be kicked out of the house…

As soon as she thought of this, Luna turned to glance at Joshua. “If only Bonnie were Harvey’s birth mother, this would be a perfect story.”

Joshua narrowed his eyes and could not help thinking about what Luna had said. “This isn’t entirely impossible, you know.”

After all, Jim was Joshua’s cousin, and, knowing that Jim had been trying to find the mute woman he had slept with in Banyan City, Joshua had asked Jude to help him investigate this

too.

However, they could not manage to find anything about this woman.

Jude had looked through records of all the inhabitants in the hotel that Jim had stayed in six

years ago.

However, the results showed that among all of the women who entered the hotel on the day of Jim’s stay, including the housekeeping staff and janitors, none of them were mute.

Not only that, but when he was looking through the surveillance tapes, Jude noticed that Bonnie had been carried into the hotel’s elevator by none other than Jason on that same night.

However, when Jason emerged from the elevator not long after that, he was alone.

Bonnie had escaped from the hotel in the later hours of the night, unkempt and all alone.

“I truly hope so.” Luna sighed. “But I don’t think there are so many coincidences in this world.

Joshua did not reply but instead pulled Luna closer to him. “Don’t worry. I’ll try my best to look into this.”

The only thing he was certain about was that six years ago, Bonnie had been tricked by Jason to sleep with a stranger and accidentally got pregnant with his child.

On the other hand, Jason was the person whom Heather and Aura had hired to kill Luna.

Not only that, but prior to losing his memories, Jlin had admitted that Charlotte was the reason Harvey had been born in the first place.

Charlotte had faked her pregnancy, and after Jim found out about her deceit, she was forced to break up with him and leave Merchant City.

Joshua narrowed his eyes.

If Bonnie turned out to be Harvey’s birth mother after all…

It was highly likely that Charlotte had been involved in Heather and Aura’s plans to kill Luna.

Or at least, she was the one who had introduced Jason to them in the first place.

As soon as he thought of this, a glimmer of malice flashed through Joshua’s eyes.

If Charlotte turned out to be involved in Luna’s accident…he would never forgive her!

Not long after, Bonnie and Harvey emerged again, having packed their bags.

Harvey carried their suitcases while Bonnie carried Shelly in her arms. From a distance, it truly looked as though the three of them were a family.

Joshua furrowed his brows and glanced at Sean, standing silently in the distance. “You should go with them too, so you can help protect them.”

Sean froze for a moment, then nodded. “Yes, Sir!”

.

With that, he strode over, took Harvey’s suitcase from him, and led them out of the door.

After the four of them left, Luna let out an exhale and was about to say something when the sound of footsteps coming from upstairs interrupted her.

Nigel came down the stairs and handed a small box to Joshua. “Look at this, Daddy.”

Luna inched closer to them, frowning. “What’s this? Is it a present?” Nigel shook his head. “It’s a bomb.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1996

“A..a bomb?” Luna immediately took a step back and stared incredulously at the box before her. “This thing is…a bomb?”

“Yes.” Nigel smiled at her calmly and was about to open the box when Luna stopped him.

She quickly went into the kitchen to check that the gas stove had been turned off, then closed the kitchen door behind her. She also gathered all the lighters and flammable products within the room and hid them somewhere else.

After doing all this, she shot the box a wary glance and said, “Okay, you can open it now.”

Nigel curled his lips into a smile but did not say a word.

Joshua, on the other hand, pulled her into his arms and said impassively, “It’s just a bomb; you don’t have to be so paranoid.”

Luna shot him an accusing glare. “What do you mean I’m paranoid? Don’t you know how powerful bombs can be?”

Just a single explosion could destroy their entire house! Surely it was better to be safe than sorry?

“Don’t worry.” Joshua curled his lips into a smile and glanced at her. “The fact that Nigel had brought it out to show you meant that he had disabled it, so it won’t explode.”

He got up, strode over to Nigel, and opened the box.

He was right; Nigel was a smart boy and would never put his mother in danger.

Not only had he disabled the bomb, but he even poured some chemical substances over it to ensure that it would not work.

However…

Joshua furrowed his brows as he stared at the bomb. “Where did you even get this thing?”

“From the plane we arrived in.” Nigel sighed, plopped down on a nearby sofa, and said flatly,” I had a feeling that Charlotte was up to no good, considering how impatient she was to get Harvey to come here.

“Therefore, before departing, I discussed this with Nellie and Neil, and the three of us agreed that it’d be better if I were to escort Harvey and Shelly here to ensure their safety.

“It turned out that…” He closed his eyes as a fearful expression crept across his face, as though he had recalled some terrifying experience. “After getting on the plane , Harvey told me that something was wrong, so I used my hacking skills while he employed his detective experience to investigate…

“Eventually, we found this bomb,

“I managed to use a formula I had found online to calculate the destructive capability of this bomb, and the result was that…the amount of explosives contained within this bar 14 sufficient to blow up the entire plane.”

Luna’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing this.

This meant that…

If it were not for Nigel and Harvey’s quick wit, the children would not have arrived in one piece!

Luna broke out in cold sweats as soon as she thought of this. She immediately lunged forward to hug Nigel. “Why didn’t you say anything earlier?”

She could not believe that after his near-death experience, Nigel had taken so long to tell them the truth!

Nigel let out a sigh and gently patted Luna’s shoulder in reassurance. “It’s not that I didn’t want to say anything, but I promised Harvey I wouldn’t…

“He told me that Aunt Bonnie already has a lot on her mind, and because of that, his purpose of coming here is to help her, not cause her even more trouble…”

With that, Nigel opened his eyes, wrapped his arms around Luna, and lifted his head to stare at Joshua.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1997

“You have to look into this, Daddy.”

Joshua nodded. “Don’t worry about it; I will.”

Bonnie was Luna’s best friend and Jim’s girlfriend before he lost his memories.

Harvey was technically Joshua’s nephew too, and on top of that, his son Nigel had been on the plane on which the bomb was planted.

Out of respect to his cousin Jim, as well as his devotion and responsibility toward Luna and Nigel… Joshua would find the culprit behind this no matter what.

Luna sniffed and said somewhat angrily, “What is there to investigate? It’s clearly Charlotte’s doing!”

The only person who was threatened by Harvey’s return was Charlotte. Therefore, the only person that would plant a bomb on the plane in an attempt to kill the children was no one but her!

“I know.” Joshua shot her a helpless glance. “However, you know fully well how much Jim trusts her now, and if we accuse her of this without any concrete evidence, he will never believe us.”

Luna pursed her lips. She knew Joshua was right, but…she still could not help feeling frustrated by this.

She lifted her head to stare hopefully at Joshua. “Do you think that Jim’s agreeing to let Bonnie stay at Landry Mansion and send Charlotte away…is a good sign that he and Bonnie will get back together?”

Joshua glanced at Luna’s expectant gaze and suddenly could not bear to bring her bad news anymore.

He walked over to her side and picked her up from the ground. “Maybe it is, but now, all I can think of is getting back together with you.”

Luna widened her eyes in shock upon hearing this.

Before she could even react, Joshua had already picked her up and was heading up the stairs. –

She immediately struggled against his grip, trying to escape, and glanced at Nigel, who was still seated on the sofa in silence. She lowered her voice and said, “Put me down! Nigel is watching us! It’s not good to let the children see us like this!”

“Why is that so?” Joshua interrupted her. “It’s not like they don’t know we’re married. Besides

He continued in a low voice, “Don’t forget that the children had still been under the

• Impression that you and I haven’t reconciled yet, so don’t you think it’d be great to let them

see us like this?”

Luna did not know how to argue with this.

She bit her lip, snaked her arm around his neck, and buried her head against his chest.

Joshua smiled when he saw how embarrassed she was and quickened his steps as he made his way to the bedroom.

Meanwhile, downstairs , Nigel watched quietly as Joshua and Luna disappeared at the end of the stairs.

When he heard the door close behind them, he let out a sigh, took out his phone, and typed a message to his brother and sister. (The two of them are fine now.)

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1998

Meanwhile, at Landry Mansion, Charlotte was sitting on the sofa in the living room with tears streaming down her cheeks.

“Tell me the truth, Jim: Are you starting to hate me now because you think Ms. Bonnie is prettier than I am?” She stroked her face as she cried. “If I hadn’t fallen for Heather’s trick and got trapped in that fire, my face wouldn’t even look like this today. After alị, i used to be considered pretty too, before my accident ruined my face!

“But now, I’ve become nothing but an ugly hag in your son’s eyes…”

Her voice started to shake as she sobbed, “Even if you change your mind about marrying me, Jim, I won’t blame you. After all, men can’t keep their promises, and you’re a man, too.

“I shouldn’t have thought you were different; I shouldn’t have thought you would keep your promise to me that you made so many years ago when we were young…

“It’s okay, Jim. Even if you want to break up with me, I won’t blame you.”

Jim let out a sigh when he heard this, walked over to Charlotte, and pulled her into an embrace. “What on earth are you talking about, Charlotte? Since when did I say I want to break up with you? Since when did I say I’m going to break my promise?”

Charlotte cried even harder when she heard this. “But you allowed Bonnie to move into Landry Mansion, and you kicked me out…

“The two of your children love Bonnie more than me, and as soon as I leave, the four of you will become a happy little family. I’m just a nobody…”

Jim let out a sigh and grabbed hold of Charlotte’s chin, forcing her to stare at him. “Why would you think that, Charlotte? Don’t you know that as soon as I laid eyes on you, I made up my mind that I’d marry no one but you?”

A glimmer of triumph flashed through her eyes when she heard this.

Nonetheless, she feigned innocence and whimpered, “But you’re sending me away, Jim…”

“I’m not sending you away, just asking you to move out of here temporarily.”

Jim let out a sigh, took out a key from his pocket, and placed it in Charlotte’s palm. “This is a 300-square-feet villa that I bought in the best part of town.

“I bought this as our future home once we’re married. After all, we can’t possibly continue staying in my parent’s house forever, since they’ll get better someday, and I know you don’t like dealing with elders…so I bought this house for our future.

“I had wanted to give you this as a gift, but I never thought it would be used for such a

nurnose.”

With that, he clasped Charlotte’s fingers around the key and added, “Why don’t you stay there and think of it like you’re just getting prepared for our future life? You can decorate the house however you like.”

In the past, something like this was not enough to reassure Charlotte at all, but this was different.

This was a 300-square-feet villa in the busiest and most expensive part of town.

This was far beyond Charlotte’s wildest dreams.

Even Landry Mansion seemed to pale in comparison!

Despite being secretly delighted , Charlotte still sniffed and lifted her head to stare at Jim in remorse, feigning sorrow. “Do you really plan on marrying me? You won’t change your mind at the last minute and decide to marry Bonnie, will you?” Jim curled his lips into a helpless smile when he heard this. “How is that possible?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1999

with that. Tim lifted his hand to gently stroke Charlotte’s hair. “Don’t worry. The only reason I agreed to Bonnie’s terms is because of the children, not because I like her nor was it because I

hate you.

“Now that the children love her so much, I can’t tear them away from her so soon. After all, I’ve lost my memories of them, so I have to rekindle our relationship first.

“I don’t intend on letting my children be raised by someone else.”

Finally, he removed his hand from Charlotte’s hand and said, “As soon as the children warm up to you, I’ll kick her out of this place and let you return.”

Charlotte could not help sneering secretly when she heard this.

Now that she owned a villa in the fanciest part of town, she would never go back to living in such a rural area like Landry Mansion anymore.

However, she still pretended to accept his offer rather sadly. “Alright, Jim, promise me that as soon as they warm up to us, you’ll kick her out and let me come back!”

Even if she did not want to live here anymore, she still did not want to make this place Bonnie’s territory!

“I promise.” Jim let out a sigh and pulled Charlotte into a hug. “You’re such a kind, considerate person.”

Charlotte smiled coyly when she heard this. “Alright, alright. I’ll go pack my bags to leave now.

She could not wait to get to her new house!

Jim was a little surprised by her reply. He furrowed his brows. “Charlotte, you…”

She had been so reluctant to leave Landry Mansion just minutes ago, but why did she change her mind so soon and even appear excited to pack her bags to leave?

“I don’t want to make things uncomfortable for you.” Charlotte sighed, gently patted Jim’s shoulder, and went upstairs.

She did not have much to bring with her, so it did not take her long to pack her belongings.

Soon, she was ready to leave.

Jim kindly helped her bring her suitcase to the front door.

However, as soon as they made their way to the door, the car that he had left to escort Bonnie and the children arrived.

The car door opened, and the first person out of the car was neither Harvey nor Bonnie but the young mechanic that had been hovering around Joshua’s house for the past few days.

This mechanic looked eerily similar to Jim when he was younger.

Tim was a little surprised to see him, and he remained motionless for a while, staring at Sean, before finally realizing that this man was real, not just a mirror image of himself.

Sean got out of the car and helped Bonnie down.

He was holding Bonnie’s hand tightly as he helped her, and as she placed her hand in his, she whispered something to him in a low voice.

The two of them looked intimate, as though…they were lovers.

Lovers…

The first thing that came into Jim’s mind when he thought of this word was the picture of Bonnie, dressed in red, on his laptop screen.

Had he and Bonnie been lovers in the past? If not, why would he have taken a photo of her like this and even put it on his computer? Had he and Bonnie…dated before?

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2000

“Jim?” seeing that Jim was staring at Bonnie and Sean, Charlotte, too, glanced at the man, squinting. “This man does look a lot like how you did when you were twenty.”

Jim finally came to his senses. “Do you think so?”

“Yes.” Charlotte snaked her arm around Jim’s. “Although I must say, you’re far more mature and smarter-looking than him.”

She turned to smile at him and added, “Do you think he and Bonnie look cute together? I think they’d make a great couple. After all, this man looks so much like you that if Bonnie were to get together with her, it’d satisfy her wish of dating you. Don’t you think so?”

As she said this, Charlotte tried to observe Jim’s face for any change of emotions.

Jim narrowed his eyes and curled his lips into a smirk as he stared intently at Bonnie, who was chatting happily with Sean. “She shouldn’t be together with him.”

Charlotte tightened her grip around him. “Who do you think she should be together with,

then?”

Jim furrowed his brows and, for a split second, did not know what to say in return.

A few seconds later, he reached out to hold Charlotte’s hand. “Don’t worry; I won’t forget what I promised you. Let’s go.”

With that, he strode away, one hand in Charlotte’s and the other wheeling her suitcase behind them.

After telling Sean of their plans for that night, Bonnie lifted her head and caught sight of Jim and Charlotte leaving together.

A strange feeling crept into her heart.

A split second later, she shook her head, trying to ignore her thoughts, and helped Sean move the suitcases out of the car.

She should not be overthinking this; the only reason she had agreed to come live in Landry Mansion was because of the children.

She did not love Jim anymore, and thus, she should not be feeling this way whenever she saw Jim and Charlotte together.

As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie exhaled and talked to Sean to distract herself. “By the way, is the consent form you gave me this morning the same one I had lost?”

She remembered that the real form was probably somewhere in one of her pockets, but before she could decide whether she truly wanted to show it to Christopher, Sean had suddenly entered the room, claiming that he had found the form in her dirty laundry.

At that time, Bonnie was perplexed by this, but she had yet to get a chance to ask Sean about this in private.

“Oh.” Sean scratched his head, grinning. “Actually, Mr. Bean was the one who gave it to me; he told me that Mr. Lynch had prepared it for you and wanted me to help him pass it to you.”

With that, he even shot Bonnie a puzzled glance and added, “What’s wrong about it?”

Bonnie’s entire body stiffened when she heard this.

She was shocked by this, but on second thought, she decided that it made sense.

After all, that fake form was so real that even Christopher , a doctor, could not find anything wrong with it.

She should have guessed that a mechanic like Sean was not capable of producing such a good counterfeit.

However, since Joshua was the one who had prepared it for her…

Bonnie narrowed her eyes.

It turned out that her lies had only managed to fool Luna, but not Joshua.

However, not only did Joshua choose not to expose her, but he even asked his assistant to help her produce a counterfeit one that would fool everyone else.

As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie sighed and could not help admiring Joshua for his eye for detail and quick wit.

No wonder Luna was so devoted to this man, so much so that she was willing to risk her life to give birth to their three children.
