It was all Bonnie’s fault! Nikki glared in Bonnie’s direction.
One day, she would take Sean back, no matter what it took!
“Put me down,” said Bonnie as soon as Sean walked out of the room.
Sean furrowed his brows, a displeased look on his face. “Do you think you’ll be able to walk if I put you down now?” Bonnie curled her lips into a smile. “What if I can?”
Sean shot her a helpless glance, then carried her into an empty ward and said, “You wait here; I’m going to find you a doctor.”
Bonnie sighed. “You should go back to Nikki after this. She…needs you right now.”
Sean furrowed his brows once more upon hearing this. “I think you’re the one who needs me more.”
Bonnie let out a bitter chuckle. “I have Luna…”
“She’s gone.” Sean shrugged and explained, “I don’t know what happened, but she took a call and left the hospital after getting into an argument with whoever was on the other end. I don’t know where she went.”
He stroked Bonnie’s hair gently and added, “So you need me more than anything now. wait here, I’m going to find you a doctor, and I’ll be right back!”
Then, he turned and strode away.
Bonnie rubbed her brows in exasperation as she watched him leave. She could clearly feel that Sean’s attitude toward her had changed.
Even though she would sometimes ask Sean to pretend to be her boyfriend, she had done so under the circumstances of knowing that he was not interested in her at all.
However, she could not help feeling a little worried and scared of the things Sean had done for her.
On one hand, she was worried that Sean was beginning to fall for her, and she was afraid of letting him down because she knew she would never be able to give him what he wanted.
On the other hand, she did not dare to ask him directly what his true feelings were.
She was worried that she would come off conceited.
Just as Bonnie was deep in her thoughts, a doctor entered the room. After giving her a quick checkup, the doctor set up an IV drip for her and gave the bill to Sean, sending him off to pay for the bill. Sean glanced at the prescription in his hands, then at the IV drip that the doctor had set up for Bonnie, and finally turned and left. Before leaving, he kept reminding Bonnie over and over to call him if she needed him. Bonnie could not help feeling a little uneasy even as she promised Sean she would do so.
“Your boyfriend treats you very well,” commented the doctor as soon as Sean left the room.” He seems to be younger than you?”
Bonnie nodded in reply.
“You’re a lucky girl. Your boyfriend is handsome, young, and treats you well.” A nearby nurse inched closer to Bonnie’s side and asked underneath her breath, “He must be good in bed too, right? I caught sight of his muscles just now. He has a great body…” Bonnie rubbed her brows in frustration. “He isn’t-” “He isn’t Ms. Craig’s boyfriend at all,” a cold, male voice interrupted her before she could even finish. Bonnie furrowed her brows and glanced in the direction of the voice.

Tim, dressed entirely in black, stood at the door, staring at Bonnie and everyone else with a gaze as cold as ice. When he saw Bonnie looking at him, he curled his lips into a smirk and slowly walked over to her. “Ms. Craig’s heart already belongs to someone else, and she was just putting on an act with Mr. Wheeler just now.”
Then, he stared at Bonnie from his great height, his gaze so cold that she could not help shuddering. “Am I right, Ms. Bonnie Craig, future heiress of the Landry family?”
Bonnie furrowed her brows upon hearing this, then narrowed her eyes at him. “Who are you talking about, future heiress of the Landry family?”
She had never agreed to marry Jim at all, despite this being Charles and Rosalyn’s wishes.
“You, of course.” Jim strode over, tilted Bonnie’s chin up, and forced her to stare straight into his eyes. “Haven’t you been playing hard to get with me all this while Bonnie? You’ve been trying all sorts of ways to get me to marry you, right? Isn’t that what you wanted all along?”
Bonnie’s brows remained furrowed momentarily, then relaxed. “Where the hell do you get off, Jim Landry?”
Less than an hour ago, this man had almost killed her! If Sean had not made it in time and broken her out of his car, she would have been dead already!
As the culprit of this incident, not only did Jim fail to show remorse for his actions, but he was acting even more arrogant than usual.
No matter how much Bonnie loved him, she still could not help feeling hostile toward him at this moment.
“Where do I get off?” Jim let out a snicker. “Am I not telling the truth?
“From the moment I woke up and got to know you, you’ve been trying over and over to find excuses to become the future Mrs. Landry. Isn’t this the truth?”
Bonnie narrowed her eyes,
She had indeed tried desperately to make Jim recover his memories of them together in the past, but she never thought that in his mind, her desperate attempts would become so twisted and undignified. A glimmer of disappointment flashed through her eyes, and this made Jim freeze in his tracks. For some reason, he could not help feeling…sad when he saw how disappointed Bonnie was. However, he quickly suppressed his emotions. This was not the time to feel sorry for her. Even though he pitied Bonnie very much, he could not display it, lest she mistook this as an opportunity to trick him into dating her.
If that happened, it would be disastrous for both of them.
As soon as he thought of this, Jim let out an exhale and said impassively, “Bonnie, I know I’ve disappointed you greatly, and I know that I had indeed made the promise to marry you in the past. “However, it’s clear that I don’t like you at all now, and I’m pretty sure that I never liked you in the past either.
“Maybe in the past, the only reason I had promised to marry you was because of Harvey.”
As soon as she heard this, Bonnie felt as though an invisible hand was squeezing her heart.
She lifted her head to glance coldly at Jim. “So you’re saying that no matter whether you lost your memories or not, you never liked me at all. Is that right?” Jim fell silent for a moment, then replied, “That’s right.” Then, he fixed his frigid gaze on her face.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2133 by desirenovel
“So, Bonnie, I won’t marry you, no matter how hard you try to make that happen. I’ll never marry you out of responsibility, and I believe this is only fair to you and me.” “Alright.” Bonnie curled her lips into a contemptuous smirk. “I understand, Mr. Landry, but I : still have to remind you—”. She let out an exhale and continued impassively, “Firstly, the people who have requested you to go through with your promise are your parents, not me. Prior to this, I had never met them at all, and thus, I would never have been able to plot this. “Secondly…”
She chuckled, fixing her smiling gaze on Jim’s handsome face, and added, “Sean and I are dating now, and from the moment I agreed to be his girlfriend, I’ve already given up pursuing you, Mr. Landry. “Therefore, you should stop being so arrogant and think that I’m still in love with you.” Then, she turned to glance at the nurse, who was stunned by this entire exchange. “Didn’t you ask me whether my boyfriend is good in bed? Well, I’ll tell you the answer now.” As she said this, she turned to stare at Jim, her gaze meeting his. “My boyfriend Sean is young and handsome, and he’s exceptionally good in bed.
“So much better than my ex-boyfriend, in fact.
“Therefore , my ex-boyfriend shouldn’t keep thinking how charming or irresistible he is or that I can’t survive without him.”
Bonnie’s words were loud and clear.
Jim’s gaze turned from disdainful to puzzled, then finally outraged.
He stormed forward and snapped, “You’ve been lying to everyone so much that you’ve already fooled yourself, haven’t you, Bonnie?”
He knew that everything between Sean and Bonnie was fake, just an act they had put out to fool him.
How could she possibly be dating Sean, and how could she possibly…have slept with him already?
“Who are you calling a liar?” Bonnie shot him a cold look. “Why would I want to put on an act if I don’t care about you anymore? “Jim Landry, besides his family background and financial capability, Sean is so much better than you in every aspect. “Yes, he wasn’t born into the best situation there is, but don’t you forget that I’m Bonnie Craig, the CEO of Craig Group. I don’t need my boyfriend to be rich because I’m earning enough money for the two of us!” She sneered and added, “You’re a joke, Jim Landry.” Jim felt as though someone had slapped him across his face. “That’s impossible…”
He narrowed his eyes and was silent for a long time before finally uttering these two words.
This was impossible!
Bonnie had been so desperate to get his attention in the past, so how could she possibly have changed her mind within days and started dating another man…and even slept with him? “Why is it so hard to believe?” a clear man’s voice rang out all of a sudden. Sean entered the room, holding a bag of fruits he had bought for Bonnie, and strode over to her side. Then, he put down the bag and wrapped his arm around her body. “Mr. Landry, I hope you can stay away from my girlfriend in the future. “Otherwise, if you don’t keep your distance from her, I’ll expose what you did to the public.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2134 by desirenovel
When he saw how much Sean treasured Bonnie as though she was some rare valuable , Jim’s expression darkened, and a hint of frustration surged through his heart. He furrowed his brows and shot Sean a cold, disapproving glance. “I wonder…what crime of mine are you going to expose to the world if I don’t stay away from Bonnie?” Sean narrowed his eyes and lifted his head to stare at Jim. “How about the fact that you almost murdered someone?” As he said this, he glanced at Bonnie, whom he held gingerly in his arms, and said tenderly,” She kept calling for help while she was trapped in the car, and I know for a fact that I wasn’t the first person she called; you were.
“However, you never took notice of her calls for help at all, and by the time I reached her, she was barely holding on. The doctor said that if I had arrived even a minute later, she wouldn’t have survived!”
He lifted his head to glare at Jim. “I know you don’t love her, and no matter what she does, you think she’s doing it only to trick you into marrying her, but this is a human life we’re talking about, Mr. Landry. “She gave birth to your son for you and had even gone through an abortion because of you. “Even though Shelly isn’t her daughter, she still cared for her as though she were her own. Not only that, but she didn’t even blame you for coming home with another woman’s child while you were dating. “She loved you so much that she almost lost herself, and this is how you treat her?”
Sean’s arms tightened around Bonnie’s body protectively. “Jim, even though I had had feelings for Ms. Bonnie in the past, I never dared to get close to her because I knew that our worlds were too far apart for us to be together, but everything that happened today changed my mind. “Instead of forcing her to marry a man who was a so-called ‘good match’ for her but treated her terribly, I’d rather keep her by my side and let her know how well she should be treated. I’ll do anything in my power to be with her!” Laying in Sean’s arms, Bonnie could feel the warmth and heat wafting off Sean’s body… This familiar warmth made an array of emotions surge through her mind. For a split second, she suddenly thought it would not be a bad choice to date Sean… However, this idea only remained in her mind for a few moments. She quickly chased the thought away and could not help laughing at herself for being so foolish.
Sean was six years younger than her, so how could she date him?
Besides, according to the evidence she had, he was also possible Jim’s half-brother.
The thought of abandoning Jim only to date his brother instead was absurd.
As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie sniffed and slipped out of Sean’s arms. “You heard him,
Jim.
“Sean and I are not acting, and we don’t feel the need to act in front of you.
“Considering the fact that you’re Luna’s brother, I can overlook what you did to me today, but She let out an exhale. “I don’t want to see you ever again.
“Besides, you already hate me anyway, so I think it’s best that we keep our distance from here on out.”
With that, she shot Sean a tender gaze and said, “My darling, I want to get some rest now. Please, help me get rid of all these unnecessary people.” Jim knew fully well that by ‘unnecessary people,’ Bonnie was referring to him. He glanced first at Sean, then at Bonnie, and finally let out a sneer. “You claim that you’ve forgotten me and have now moved on, but do you really love him?
“Would you have chosen him if he didn’t look so much like me?” He curled his lips into a smirk.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2135 by desirenovel
“Bonnie, I don’t wish to get in the way of your happiness, but…” He glanced at Sean who, at this moment, was furious, and added impassively, “It’s incredibly irresponsible of you to take such a young, handsome man as your rebound.”
Bonnie pursed her lips.
She knew and had already thought of the things Jim was saying, even before he mentioned it.
However, it was one thing for her to think this and another thing entirely for Jim to bring it up in front of Sean.
“I’m willing to be her rebound,” Sean said curtly.
He stared coldly at Jim and continued, “Not only am I willing to become her rebound, but I welcome it more than anything in the world. Even if she doesn’t want to spend the rest of her life with me, I’m willing to take care of her during our time together.”
With that, he curled his lips into a smirk. “Is there anything else you’d like to say, Mr. Landry?
Sean’s words made Jim swallow everything he wanted to say.
He fell silent for a moment, then turned and stomped out of the room.
The door slammed shut behind him with a loud thud. The nurse was utterly stunned by this exchange. After a long while, she finally regained her composure and quickly cleared all the equipment away. “Call me if you need anything.”
Then, she turned and disappeared out of the room within the blink of an eye, though she did not forget to shut the door behind her as she left.
The only two people left inside the room were Bonnie and Sean.
“He probably won’t be back anytime soon.” After a long while, Bonnie let out a sigh and pushed Sean away from her. “Thank you.”
She grinned at him. “Thank you for sticking up for me just now. if it weren’t for you, he wouldn’t have left so willingly…”
“Don’t sweat it.” Sean let out a sigh, then reached out to gently tuck Bonnie’s hair behind her ear. “I’ve already promised to take care and protect you with all my power, so everything that happened just now was just a part of my duty.”
Bonnie’s chest tightened upon hearing this.
She curled her lips into a somewhat awkward smile and replied, “I’ve already said he won’t be back anytime soon, so…you don’t have to say those things to me anymore.”
Sean narrowed his eyes when he sensed her clearly distant attitude. He stared at her for a long time in silence.
Finally, he strode over to her side and got on one knee. “Bonnie, everything I said just now was from the bottom of my heart; I hadn’t done it just to anger Jim. I…
“I really want to be together with you, to take care and protect you.” He let out a bitter chuckle when he saw the stunned look on Bonnie’s face. “I know I’m a lot younger than you, and I come from a poor family, so a girl like you shouldn’t even give me a second glance, but…”.
He lifted his head to stare straight into her eyes. “I really want to be with you. “Will you give me one chance?”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2136 by desirenovel
Bonnie stared dazedly at the man kneeling before her.
Sean’s eves were glossed with earnestness, as though every single word out of his mouth came after careful consideration.
Maybe other women would feel nothing but happiness when a young, handsome, and responsible man said something like this to them, but at this moment, all Bonnie felt was guilt, helplessness, and fear. She was guilty because she knew she should not have dragged Sean into the drama between her and Jim, and she should not have given him the wrong impression. She felt helpless because no matter how well Sean treated her, she knew she would never be able to fall for anyone else apart from Jim.
Finally, she was scared.
She was scared that Sean would never be able to move on from her.
If that happened, it would only add to her guilt and regret toward him. “Bonnie.” Sean curled his lips into a bitter smile when he saw Bonnie staring at him in silence. “You don’t want to be with me, do you? “I can tell that the only person you love is Jim, but I still want to stay by your side to protect you. “I never want to see what happened today, when you got locked in Jim’s car, happen again in the future.” Then, he lifted his head to stare earnestly at Bonnie. “I don’t need you to give me an answer right now.
“I’m willing to wait as long as it takes for you to give me a chance to be with you.”
Sean thought that as long as he stayed by Bonnie’s side to prove his love, she would eventually come around to him. Besides, even if she did not agree to be with him in the future, he would still be content with being able to keep her safe.
Bonnie rubbed her brows in exhaustion upon hearing this. A split second later, she lifted her head to meet Sean’s gaze. “I admire you, Sean, but this isn’t love, and I’ll never pass on this feeling as love toward you. “I’m willing to remain friends…but I think we’d better keep our distance from now on.” She let out an exhale and continued, “Even though I’ve already given up on Jim…I still won’t put myself out there, not at least for a few more years.”
Perhaps it would only be a few years, but perhaps…it would be forever.
Maybe it was never written in her fate to find someone she could spend the rest of her life with.
While she was together with Jason, she thought their relationship would last till the end of their days, but everything turned out to be a disaster. When she was with Jim, she thought he was her one true love, but in the end… Her one true love rejected and refused to be with her, even after knowing Charlotte had been lying to him and that she was Harvey’s birth mother. Bonnie did not dare to trust anyone again after this.
–
Even though she knew that Sean was a kind, simple man who would never hurt anyone, she still could not convince herself to entrust her life to him.
Sean was silent for a long time after hearing this.
A split second later, he curled his lips into a self-deprecating smile and said, “You’re not even willing to give me a chance to be Jim’s rebound?” Bonnie curled her lips into a smile. “I’m very sorry for what happened to Nikki today. In the future, I will get in touch with her, and if she needs any help, she can always come to me directly. “I’m more than grateful for you rescuing me today, but…” She let out an exhale. “I think we should stop seeing each other from now on.” She did not want to give Sean any false hope, nor did she want to waste any of his time. Even though it was cruel to cut him off just like this, she knew this was the best way to make him forget about her and live his life happily. Sean let out a bitter chuckle when he heard this. “Are you going to be so cruel, Bonnie? I’ve already told you I’ll be content even if my only role will be to protect you…” “I can protect myself,” Bonnie interjected curtly. “I’m not a child.” Sean lifted his head to glance at the cannula placed in the back of her hand, which was connected to her IV drip.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2137 by desirenovel
“You can take care of yourself?” Bonnie followed his gaze, and when she caught sight of what he was staring at, her expression darkened. “This was an accident.”
Sean chuckled, a hint of contempt in his laughter. Bonnie could not tell whether he was taunting her of her fragility or laughing at himself for his wishful thinking. He stood up and said, “Alright. I understand, Bonnie. I won’t disturb you ever again.”
Then, he turned and strode out the door.
“Sean!”
As soon as he pushed the door open, Nikki, who had been waiting outside patiently, lunged into his arms, crying. “Sean… I’m sorry! “I’ve reflected on my mistake, and I now understand I shouldn’t have done this to Ms. Bonnie
…
“It’s just – I was so upset after what happened to me today that I…”
Sean could not help feeling a little annoyed at the sight of Nikki sobbing in his arms. He glanced at her and replied, “Well, you shouldn’t have treated her like this no matter how upset you were. Is this how I raised you?”
Tears brimmed in Nikki’s eyes. “I’m sorry… I… I’ll go find Ms. Bonnie now and beg for her forgiveness. I…” “There’s no need.” Sean let out a sigh. “She won’t accept that, and besides, she doesn’t hold this against you. It’s just that…”
He reached out and gently knocked on Nikki’s forehead teasingly. “You don’t have to worry about her anymore. She doesn’t like me, anyway, so you shouldn’t do this to her anymore in the future.”
Nikki immediately froze when she heard this. She stared dazedly at Sean and asked, “What… What do you mean?”
“Wasn’t that why you hated her and kept trying to get on her nerves?” Sean curled his lips into a smirk. “She rejected me just now, so you shouldn’t have to do this to her anymore in the future.”
Then, he turned and strode away. Nikki remained motionless, staring at his retreating figure dazedly for a long time before finally understanding what he meant.
She bit her lip, glanced at Bonnie’s closed door, then at Sean’s retreating figure, and finally chased after him.
Bonnie closed her eyes EQ=EC'{I let out a bitter chuckle when she heard their footsteps fade away.
It was all her fault. If she had not allowed Sean to get in between her and Jim, none of this
would have happened… She was not the only person saddened by how all this turned out.
After all, she had treasured and treated Sean like a brother she never had.
“How’s it going?” Suddenly, Luna entered the room, glancing at Bonnie in worry. “I went to Jim just now to force him to come to see you. Did he apologize to you?”
Bonnie furrowed her brows upon hearing this. “You…were the one who sent Jim here?”
“Of course.” Luna pursed her lips slightly. “God knows why, but it turns out the reason he left you in the car was that he went all the way to the airport to stop an eighty-year-old man from boarding his plane so that he could get a name list from him.” Bonnie frowned. “This man… Do you know what his name is?”
Luna pursed her lips again. “His name is Paul Duncan. Why? Do you know him?” Paul Duncan… Bonnie bit her lip. If she remembered correctly, this was the man who owned the orphanage she grew up in. Mr. Duncan.
The name list Jim had asked from him… Bonnie widened her eyes in sudden realization.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2138 by desirenovel
If she remembered correctly, the name list that Paul Duncan possessed…was the name list of all the children who had been under his care at the orphanage!
Previously, while trying to piece together Roanne and Charlotte’s true identities, Bonnie had sought out a former worker of the orphanage for help.
However, the worker told her that since everything had happened such a long time ago, no one knew the names of the children at the orphanage, nor where each of them had ended up.
Nonetheless, the owner of the orphanage, Mr. Duncan, had a name list that recorded the names of all the children and their whereabouts after leaving the orphanage.
Because of this, Bonnie had intended to track down Mr. Duncan to retrieve the name list from him, but…
He had left Merchant City a long time ago, and no one knew where he had gone nor when he would return.
Bonnie had no choice but to give up on her plan.
However, she did not expect that Mr. Duncan would return to Merchant City all of a sudden and that Jim would be able to track him down and retrieve the name list from him just in time. If her guesses were correct, Jim was trying to get his hands on the name list to learn the whereabouts of all the children at the orphanage.
As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie suddenly remembered the call Jim had received moments before he left her alone in the car.
The first thing he had inquired after picking up the call was Number-9’s whereabouts.
This meant that…he had left her in the car because he had been preoccupied with finding Number-9.
A wave of emotions surged through Bonnie’s mind at the thought of this. Jim was probably trying to track Number-9 so that he could fulfill his promise to her, right? He did not know that Number-9 had been sitting next to him all along and even almost died in his car!
Besides…
If he had successfully retrieved the name list from Mr. Duncan just in time, would he not have learned her true identity at this point?
Had he found out the truth?
Would his attitude toward her change if he learned what had happened? Perhaps he already knew the truth, but his love for Number-9 was not enough to make him take Bonnie back.
“What’s wrong?” Luna quickly strode over to Bonnie’s side AX?FD${K reached out to hold her hand as soon as she saw the expression on her face. “Are you still unwell? Do you need me to call a doctor?”
Bonnie shook her head. “No, thanks.” She sniffed and lifted her head to glance at Luna. “I want to pack my bags and go back to Tea Cottage tonight.” Luna furrowed her brows upon hearing this. “For what?”
She glanced at Bonnie’s pale face and continued, “You’re still extremely weak now, and Tea Cottage is so far away from the rest of the city. Besides, you don’t have anyone to take care of you…
“I don’t think you should move back to Tea Cottage. I think it’s best if you continue staying with Joshua and me so I can look after you.”
Bonnie waved her hand in refusal. “I can’t possibly impede on your lives anymore. Besides…” She let out a sigh. “Joshua employed Sean as his new driver, and if I continue staying there, we’ll continue to see each other all the time. I…”
She paused for a moment before finally saying, “I want to keep my distance from Sean.” Luna frowned. “You and Sean…” Bonnie sighed and explained everything that had happened between her and Sean to Luna. Luna fell silent for a long time before finally agreeing to Bonnie’s request. “I’ll ask Joshua to send some of his men to keep an eye on you.” Bonnie refused again. “There’s no need for that. All of Joshua’s men were specially picked out by Lucas from among the best, so I don’t think I should waste all that manpower on myself. I’m fully capable of employing my own bodyguards.” Luna rolled her eyes and ignored her entirely. Instead, she took out her phone and dialed Joshua’s number.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2139 by desirenovel
After listening to Bonnie’s plan, Joshua immediately sent a few of his men to pack Bonnie, Harvey, and June’s bags and send them to Tea Cottage. When Bonnie finally finished her IV fluids in the evening, she felt a lot better.
With Joshua and Luna’s help, she finally returned to Tea Cottage. Standing at the gate, a bitter smile crept across Bonnie’s face as she stared at the familiar building She still remembered..
This was the place where Jim and her first slept together, a place that held too many memories of her and Jim.
This was where they first met and started dating.
The first time they cooked together. The first time they showered together… All of these memories surged into her mind as she closed her eyes. The image of Jim’s cold and hostile attitude toward her that afternoon appeared before her eyes. ‘Forget him,’ Bonnie thought to herself.
It was time to let go. In a few days, after the person who raped Nikki was captured, and after she settled the issue of Harvey’s guardianship, she would leave this city.
She, and the child inside her belly, would return to the place she belonged.
As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie let out an exhale and strode into the yard.
“Bonnie,” a low, male voice rang out from behind her before she could reach the front door. This voice sounded both strange and familiar.
She glanced in the direction of the voice.
Christopher, who she had not seen in a long time, was standing underneath the trellis in the yard.
When he saw her looking at him, he smiled and walked over. “Long time no see.”
Bonnie instinctively took a step backward.
Truth be told, it had not been that long.
It had only been half a month since she last saw Christopher, which was when he broke her finger out of brute force.
Her finger had not fully healed yet.
As soon as she thought of the incident, as well as the time Christopher brought Jim with him
to Joshua’s place to force her to return home with him, a surge of fear rose in her heart.
She pursed her lips and glanced at the bodyguards stFV>AD+}ling next to her. “How did he get
in?
The leader of the guards quickly stepped forward and explained, “Mr. Roberts said that he’s here to visit Ms. June, and he gave his word that he wouldn’t hurt Ms. June, Master Harvey, or Ms. Shelly; that was why we let him in.
“After he came in, he kept to his word and didn’t try anything to harm them at all, and in fact, even helped the babysitter coax Ms. Shelly to sleep…so…”
The guard pursed his lips. “He also said he wanted to talk to you, but if you don’t want to see him, Ms. Bonnie, we’ll…” Bonnie furrowed her brows when she saw how terrified the guard looked. “It’s okay.” Then, she turned to look at Christopher. “What did you want to say to me?” Christopher perked up when he saw Bonnie finally talking to him. “I… First off, I want to apologize to you.
“I have a family history of psychiatric illnesses, and I knew that one day, I’d end up like my mother, which was why I remained by Aunt Rosalyn’s side all this while so that she could help me gain control of my disease through medicine. “However, after she fell into her coma, no one could formulate the medicine for me anymore. Even though I tried to make it myself, the drug didn’t come out as effective as how she made it …and so, I lost control of my symptoms.” Then, he bowed at Bonnie and added, “Besides apologizing to you, I also want to tell you…”
He let out an exhale. “I hope you don’t give up on Jim too soon.
“The reason he doesn’t remember you is not that you don’t matter to him, but on the contrary, it’s because you matter too much…
“I’m already in the middle of formulating the appropriate antidote for him, and if you wait a little longer—” “There’s no need for that,” Bonnie interrupted him curtly. “It’s not entirely bad that he can’t remember me.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2140 by desirenovel
Christopher’s entire body stiffened when he heard Bonnie’s response. He stared at Bonnie dazedly, his eyes etched with sheer disbelief. “Haven’t you always wanted Jim to remember you? You…” “I changed my mind.” Bonnie curled her lips into a smirk. “It doesn’t matter whether he remembers me or not; it won’t change our outcome anymore. You don’t have to waste your time and effort anymore.” Then, she let out a sigh and continued, “I accept your apology, Christopher. Since you haven’t fully recovered from your episode yet, you should focus more on getting your rest instead of worrying about Jim and me.
“When… When your condition is stable, I’ll send June back to your side. After all, you’re her father and legal guardian, so I shouldn’t keep her by my side for too long.”
Besides, the baby in her belly would be born eventually, and not only would she return June to Christopher, but she would also try to track down Shelly’s birth parents.
Bonnie did not think she was capable of taking care of four children at the same time.
Christopher fell silent upon hearing this.
A split second later, he nodded and replied, “Alright. Thank you for helping me take care of June all this while.”
Bonnie was right. His condition was not entirely stable yet, and previously, he had hurt Bonnie during his psychotic episode. He was worried that if he were to lose control of himself again, he would hurt June, too. “No need to thank me. Get well soon.” With that, she circled past him and strode into the house. Christopher remained motionless as he stared at Bonnie’s retreating figure and heaved a great sigh.
At that moment, Jim was sitting in his study, looking through some information that his assistant had forwarded to him. When he received Christopher’s call, he froze for a second before finally picking it up, frowning
