Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2251 by desirenovel
Even while she was pregnant with Luna, Rosalyn still pulled him back from the brink of death countless times.
Soon after, Charles gave up on his suicidal plans, but despite that, he could not help going insane whenever he was reminded of Lucy.
It was Rosalyn who successfully managed to keep his moods under control.
Not only did she have to help him stabilize his moods, but she even had to support the entire family on her own.
Even when faced with Granny Lynch's fierce attacks of vengeance, Rosalyn managed to persevere and even made Landry Group flourish like never before.
Soon after that, Luna went missing, and this finally made Charles snap out of his stupor and take back the responsibilities he should have borne.
If it were not for Rosalyn, he would not be standing here.
Rosalyn's presence helped him get through Lucy's devastating death and helped him get over the betrayal of finding out the truth about Lucy's death.
If it were not for Rosalyn...Charles could not imagine how he would react when he found out that Lucy had not died at all but had instead given up on him and chose to be with another man.
"Why are you thanking me?" Rosalyn let out a sigh and strode in Jim's direction. "You don't have to thank me; we've already been through so much together..."
She glanced at Jim and added, "All I want is for Jim and Luna to be happy from now on and hopefully bear me more grandchildren."
All of a sudden, she paused as though she suddenly recalled something and chuckled. "I almost forgot that we have another son now. I hope Sean will be happy too..."
Charles fell silent for a moment before finally asking, "Are you...sure that you want to take Sean in as your son?"
Even though Charles could not help sympathizing with this poor child as well...he still found it difficult to see past the fact that this was the product of Lucy and another man.
Even though Charles had already let go of his love for Lucy, it was still difficult for him to constantly be reminded of this betrayal by Sean's presence.
"Why would you think otherwise?" Rosalyn chuckled. "He's Jim's brother C:[kK8QY one of the only two people left in this world with Lucy's blood running in their veins.
"Besides, I saw the way he looked...when he watched me talking to Jim."
She closed her eyes. "As a mother, I can't bear to see that look in his eyes, that longing for acceptance and love..."
Finally, she curled her lips into an amused smile and glanced at Charles. "What's wrong? Why is it that I was able to accept you and Lucy's son, Jim, and raise him as my own...but you're unable to do the same?"
Charles was rendered speechless by this.
A split second later, he sighed and replied, "You're right. We'll do as you say..."
Rosalyn smiled and leaned against Charles' arms. "I only wish for Jim to be happy. He has always craved this intimacy ever since he found out he's not my son • • •
"As soon as he found out Luna was given away to the orphanage, he immediately went to look for her. Even though he appears to resent Sean on the surface, I know deep down that he wants nothing more than to get along with this new brother of his."
Charles fell silent upon hearing this.
He wrapped his arms around Rosalyn's body and replied, "That's right. We'll do as you say."
At this moment, Jim finished his call. He tucked his phone away and returned to Charles and Rosalyn's side. "Father, Mother, I...
"It doesn't matter whether Bonnie will wake up or not and what will happen to her; I still want to marry her.
"Even if she doesn't survive this, I want her to pass away as my wife."
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2252 by desirenovel
Jim's declaration made Charles and Rosalyn exchange a nervous glance.
Rosalyn let out an exhale and fixated her earnest gaze on Jim's face. "Jim, you have to really consider this. You've refused when I wanted you to marry Bonnie, and now that she's ended up like this...
"As your parents, we don't want you to go through the pain of losing a loved one not long after getting married, and besides..."
She sighed. "Now that Bonnie is still in a coma, how can you obtain a certificate of marriage with her?"
"I'll take care of this." Jim fell silent for a moment, then lifted his head to meet his mother's gaze. "I'll find a solution to whether Bonnie can obtain a marriage certificate in her comatose state. As long as I get your approval...none of this will be a problem."
Charles paused when he heard this and instinctively glanced at Rosalyn.
A split second later, he let out an exhale and replied, " Jim, you should know that as your parents, we'd rather you have a happy and complete family, not this.
"What if Bonnie doesn't survive after seven days? How are you going to find Harvey another mother?"
"Bonnie is Harvey's mother, and if she dies, I'm sure that Harvey won't want to have a new mother, either. " Jim sighed. "All I need is your approval, and the rest won't be a problem."
"You..." Rosalyn sighed. "Are you certain?"
Jim nodded solemnly. "Yes, I'm certain."
Previously, he had promised Harvey he would marry Bonnie only because she was Harvey's birth mother, but at this moment, he knew what he truly felt.
Just a few minutes ago, when Rosalyn declared that Bonnie might not be able to survive, it was the first time Jim ever felt suffocated.
Jim had always thought that no matter how much something affected him emotionally, it would not manifest as a physical symptom.
However, in that split second, he felt his heart ache.
Not only that, but he found it difficult to breathe all of a sudden.
He could not put a finger on what it felt like, but he knew it was because he could not bear to lose Bonnie.
He could not bear to be without her.
Even though he never admitted this to anyone, the truth was...he had already fallen for her without realizing it.
At the thought of this, Jim let out a deep sigh E:] rK6VR said, "I sincerely hope you'll approve of this marriage. If you don't..."
He let out a bitter chuckle. "I'll make you change your mind with whatever I have."
Charles furrowed his brows when he heard this, whereas Rosalyn sighed in response. "Whether we agree or not won't change your decision, will it?"
Jim nodded. "That's right."
Rosalyn let out a bitter chuckle. "Well, there's no reason for us to object to this, as long as you won't regret your decision in the future."
"I won't." Jim let out a small laugh, gave Charles and Rosalyn a bow, then strode into the room.
Standing motionless as he watched Jim leave, Charles finally turned to glance at Rosalyn. "Was it...right of us to do this?" 1T don' t know, but it wasn' t wrong, either.''

Rosalyn sighed and clutched Charles’ hand in comfort as they slowly left. Inside the room, Jim held Bonnie’s hand. As he watched Charles and Rosalyn leaving through the window, he finally could not stop himself from sighing. He squeezed Bonnie’s cold hand and said, “Bonnie, they’ve already agreed for us to get married…
“I know that if you woke up right now, you’d still reject me because you don’t think I mean it, that I’m just marrying you because of Harvey or just to mock you. The truth is…” He lowered his body and placed Bonnie’s palm against his face. “I haven’t been telling the truth.”
He closed his eyes, and a tear slid down his cheek. When did he fall for Bonnie?
It was probably from the first time he laid eyes on her. The first time he saw her was not at Tea Cottage but when he caught sight of the photo on his laptop.
Inside that picture, Bonnie was standing underneath a maple tree, dressed in red. Even with her back facing the camera, she still looked carefree and alluring.
This photo reminded Jim of the little girl he had met at the orphanage, Number-9, and made him reminisce about the old feelings buried deep within his heart.
He was with Charlotte at that time, and he had always thought Charlotte was Number-9. However, no matter how many times he tried to compare Charlotte to the photo on his computer screen, he could not convince himself that it was a match. Jim did not know what he had experienced before losing his memories, but he knew that at one point, he must have loved this woman. Even though he had lost his memories, Jim believed that deep down, his core personality had not changed Jim preferred to keep his desktop free of clutter and only kept items that were truly important to him. It was clear that by the location of the photo on his computer desktop, he had placed it there deliberately and would constantly look at it in the past. Ever since then, Jim could not help feeling curious about this woman dressed in red until one day Bonnie asked him to meet her at Tea Cottage. On the day they met, she was not wearing red clothes, but for some reason, Jim recognized her as the woman in the photo almost instantaneously.
Nonetheless, his dignity prevented him from asking Bonnie about the photo directly.
Every word that came out of Bonnie’s mouth GUPdMCDT every tear that slid down her cheek pained him terribly, but at that time, he was still with Charlotte.
He kept insulting Bonnie in hopes that she would give up on him, but at the same time, he could not help blaming himself for being so unfaithful and falling for another woman.
Now…Charlotte had been exposed as a liar.
However, his impulsivity had landed Bonnie in this situation. This was probably God’s way of punishing him, was it not? God was punishing him for ignoring and hurting a woman who loved him with all her heart. However, if this was meant to be a punishment, why was he not the one lying on the bed, unconscious? Why was he not the one poisoned?
Bonnie was innocent… Jim closed his eyes as he wrapped his arms around Bonnie’s body. If only he could turn back time, he would rather he be the one who got into the car crash, not her. “Mr. Jim,” a young boy’s voice rang out from the door. Jim immediately lifted his head and came face-to-face with Harvey, standing by the door, his little face bright red and panting as he held onto the doorway. “Mommy… Did she really miscarry her child? Is it true that she only has a week left to live?” Jim’s expression darkened upon hearing this. “Who told you this?” The only people who knew this were his parents, the doctors at the hospital, and Christopher. “June told me.” Tears brimmed in Harvey’s eyes as he wailed, “Is this true? Answer me!”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2254 by desirenovel
Jim furrowed his eyebrows and said with a hint of helplessness, “Harvey, I know it’s hard to accept this, but…” Harvey bit his lip and finally could not stop his tears from falling. “So…Mommy is really…” Jim nodded solemnly. He let go of Bonnie’s hand and walked over to the door, then squatted and picked Harvey up in his arms. “Harvey…
“It’s all Daddy’s fault. I committed many mistakes and was too cowardly to face my feelings. By the time I finally summoned the courage to face the truth, it’s too late now.” Harvey reached out and gently wrapped his short arms around Jim’s trembling back. “Daddy… are you crying?” Jim froze for a moment, then suddenly realized that he had shed a tear while holding Bonnie’s hand.
He fell silent. The last time he cried was when he barged into the orphanage alone, trying to find Luna. That was almost 20 years ago. Jim had always thought the only reason he had cried was that he was too young. After all, real men never cried. At this moment, an epiphany hit him. The truth was, it had been a long time since he cried, not because he had grown up, but because there had been nothing that saddened him as much as losing Luna anymore. Not even losing his memories impacted him as much as the thought of losing Bonnie. At the thought of this, Jim sighed and replied, “Harvey, crying isn’t a sign of weakness.” “I know,” Harvey chirruped as he hugged his father. “The reason you cried is that you fell in love with Mommy, and you don’t want to lose her. To be honest, I don’t want to lose her, either…”
As he said this, Harvey removed himself from Jim’s grasp and strode toward Bonnie’s bed with a sorrowful expression. “Does Mommy…only have seven days left to live? When is she going to wake up, then?” He wiped his tears. “Even if she’s leaving soon, she at least has to say goodbye to me, right?”
Jim wanted to say something in reply, but when he saw the look on Harvey’s face, he could not squeeze out a single word.
“I’m sure Aunt Bonnie will get well soon, Harvey.” June slowly walked into the room, wearing the wig Bonnie had picked out for her BVSBICfR reaching out to hold Harvey’s hand. “Even… Even if worst comes to worst, I’m sure she’ll wake up to say goodbye to you.”
Harvey sniffed and continued to sob but did not reply.
June gently wiped his tears with a piece of tissue. “Don’t cry now. Don’t cry in front of Aunt Bonnie. She’ll be sad if she finds out about this.” Harvey sniffed and nodded in response. “You’re right!” He blinked his tears away and said, “Mommy won’t want to see me crying like this.”
Then, he reached out and clutched Bonnie’s hand. “You’re going to get well soon, Mommy. I’m … I’m still waiting for you to become the witness to my and June’s wedding in the future.”
June’s face flushed scarlet when she heard this. A surge of emotions spread through his heart as Jim stared at the two children before him.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2255 by desirenovel
This was probably how he and Number-9 had been like when they met at the orphanage back then. He had given Number-9 a token of remembrance so that they could find each other again in the future, but he never dared to say goodbye to her and told her about his feelings before he left.
He always thought he would have a chance to see her again, but even until this very day, he had not managed to track her down.
This seemed to be a recurring theme in all his relationships, including with Bonnie at this moment. Jim would always fall into the trap of thinking he had plenty of time to confess his feelings and start a relationship with the person he loved, yet all of a sudden, Bonnie only had seven days left. He closed his eyes. “Harvey, I’m planning…to host a wedding with your mother tomorrow.” Harvey’s entire body stiffened when he heard this. He immediately glanced at Bonnie, then at Jim. “But Mommy still hasn’t woken up yet…” “I don’t want to wait any longer.” He strode over, pulled Harvey into his arms, then reached out and clutched Bonnie’s hand in his. “It’s about time the three of us become a real family.” Harvey bit his lip and nodded earnestly. “Alright! June and I will become the flower girl and boy for your wedding!”
Jim had stayed true to his promise. Even before daybreak came, the servants were already busy preparing for the wedding of Jim Landry, the young master of the Landry family. Initially, according to Charles and Rosalyn’s plan, Jim and Bonnie were supposed to have a small, intimate event at a church. However, Jim had rejected this idea.
He wanted everyone in Merchant City to know that Bonnie Craig was going to become his wife. Even though she was in her coma and would probably leave this world in seven days, he wanted everyone to see how happy she was.
Therefore, the next morning, all the members of the elite society in Merchant City received an invitation in the mail, inviting them to attend the wedding between Jim Landry and Bonnie Craig, much to their bewilderment. Was Jim not supposed to be marrying a woman named Charlotte Jacobs in a week? Not only was the wedding brought forward, but the bride had changed, too.
The person who was most furious upon receiving the invitation was none other than Luna. She refused to accept this outcome DVRgKCHY tossed the invitation onto the table in spite.” How dare he!”
How dare Jim even host such an extrayagant wedding without even asking Bonnie’s consent, especially after hurting her so many times in the past? What if she chose to leave him after waking up? What if, after the miscarriage she had gone through, she decided not to love Jim anymore? Even though Jim was her brother, Luna liked Bonnie, the friend who had been with her through thick and thin, better, so she was more inclined to take care of Bonnie’s feelings. If this were what Bonnie wanted, she would have no objections. However, if Bonnie did not want this, then she would not allow this to happen, ever. Bonnie was still unconscious, so how could he possibly go through with this without even seeking her approval? “I guess I’m not the only person being irresponsible about marriage.” Theo, who had been mulling by himself all this while, chuckled when he saw Luna hurling the invitation onto the table. “Bonnie had even gone all the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau to stop me from marrying Roanne…but ironically, she’s become the person getting married against her will.”
He curled his lips into a smirk and added, “It turns out we’re not that different after all.”
This meant that him pushing Rachel away and sending her right into Caleb’s arms…was not entirely wrong, was it?
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2256 by desirenovel
“It’s not the same!” Luna shot Theo an exasperated look, her eyebrows furrowed at how sarcastic he was acting. “You know why I’m angry; it’s the fact that Jim didn’t ask permission from Bonnie and forcefully announced that they’re getting married. It’s the fact that he wants to marry Bonnie when she is still in a coma by force. “Think about if this happens between you and Roanne. It’s the same theory as wanting to marry Roanne without seeking permission from her.” Luna raised her head. “Roanna has passed away. We’ll never truly know if she was willing to marry you if she’s still here.”
Theo smiled bitterly. “This was her last wish.” “Did she say that to you?” Luna glared at him coldly. “All she wanted before she breathed her last was a hug from you. I may not be close to her, but I…truly feel that that’s all she wanted. She didn’t expect you to stay single for her, to give up your future relationship and live a lonely life forever.”
Luna’s interpretation stunned Theo. He looked to the far side while smiling bitterly. “Do you really think so?”
Luna sneered. “How else would you put it? Think about it from your perspective. If you’re Roanne, are you willing to let the woman you like live as your wife and be lonely for the rest of your life?”
To this, Theo had no comebacks.
At that moment, the doorbell rang. Lucas hurried over to open the door, revealing none other than Caleb and Rachel, with Rachel holding onto Caleb’s arm as they walked in. Both of them were wearing the same color couple outfit with their fingers interlocked with each other. They looked very dashing, like the perfect couple. Theo’s eyebrows knitted together when he saw them walking in. He knew he should leave to avoid confrontation with them, but…his legs felt so heavy that he had a hard time walking away. In the end, he just looked in another direction, pretending he did not know they were there.
Both Caleb and Rachel noticed this, however. Caleb smiled and grabbed Rachel’s hand softly.” Not even a hello?”
“I have nothing to say to him.” Rachel glanced at Theo coldly before turning to greet Luna EVRgKBBQ Joshua smilingly, “Good day to you, Mr. Lynch and Ms. Luna.” Luna quickly got on her feet to welcome them. “Dr. Liddell.” Increasing her volume, she spoke to Rachel, “Have you and Young Master Crawford set a date for your wedding ceremony?” Rachel chuckled, not caring if Theo was listening. “It’s next month. We originally wanted it to be a week later, but Young Master Landry has already occupied that day. “Small fries like us won’t dare steal his thunder, hence why we postponed it to a month later.
Who would’ve thought he’d move up to an earlier date.”
She sighed regretfully. “If I knew it, we’d just continue on with next week’s date. It’s too late to change now since we had already sent out all of our invitations.” After that, she glanced at Theo and quickly looked at Caleb. “Actually, his family is more anxious than I am.” Caleb chuckled. “That’s right. My family has been urging me to settle down with Dr. Liddell.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2257 by desirenovel
“In fact, I went on a blind date with Dr. Liddell before, but she didn’t have any feelings for me then.”
Caleb could not help but glance at Theo for a moment. “I should be thanking someone for giving me the chance to marry Dr. Liddell.”
It was at this moment that Theo mentally snapped. He stood up to go back to his room and slammed the door so loudly that everyone heard it.
The slam, however, awoke Shelly and Riley, who were sleeping soundly in the upstairs room. Their cries rang loudly across the villa. The nanny had to comfort them for a few minutes before they finally calmed down. Luna scratched her head embarrassingly and smiled at Rachel and Caleb awkwardly. “We have a few kids at home now, and they recently got scared, so…”
“It’s alright. Crying proves that they have a strong vitality.” Rachel curled up her lips and sat on the couch. “Ms. Luna, are you sure that your mother said that Ms. Craig is poisoned and only has seven days left to live?”
Luna’s face shifted to a more serious expression as Rachel started to discuss a serious topic.” Yes, that’s what my mother said. She even had Christoper stop his research on the medicine to restore Jim’s memory and have him concentrate on studying the antidote for Bonnie. She said she’d also concentrate on studying the antidote.” She raised her head to look at Rachel. “Why? Is something wrong? Dr. Liddell, have you…gone to visit Bonnie?”
Rachel nodded. “Of course. I’m a family friend of the Landry family. Although I don’t know who Bonnie is, I don’t mind giving her a full-body checkup and analysis since she is going to be Jim’s wife. That being said…”
Her brows furrowed as she placed a document in front of Luna and Joshua. “This is the report I got from the hospital this morning. I’m curious about the poison present in Bonnie’s system.
Luna and Joshua instantly looked at each other unconsciously, before Joshua took the document and opened it up to read.
It was the report from Bonnie’s most recent checkup, and although they did not underst DPShMGeV what those indications meant…every line of analysis ended with (normal). Joshua’s eyebrows were knitted at this. “Bonnie is fine?”
Rachel nodded and crossed her legs gracefully. “Yes. I think her body has a type of substance that renders her asleep for a long period. According to the dosage in her body, she’ll wake up three days from now, so the facts that she’d wake up seven days later and die seven days later aren’t valid.”
She, again, looked at Luna. “Ms. Luna, I’m gonna ask you again: did your mother truly say that Bonnie only has seven days to live?”
Luna was stunned by Rachel’s question. “Dr. Liddell, are you saying…” “I’m just curious. Since your mother has far more medical knowledge and experience than I do, there shouldn’t be any misdiagnosis if she’s the one who had examined Bonnie. However, all the indications from the report had stated that Bonnie’s body is obviously normal.” She lifted her head and looked at Luna with a solemn expression. “Could Mrs. Landry have lied about Bonnie’s condition so Jim would marry Bonnie?”
It was an assumption that Luna had never thought about, and her heart suddenly started beating rapidly. ‘If this is true, then it’s the best scenario!’ “There’s another possibility,” Joshua said as he looked at Rachel indifferently. “Maybe you didn’t discover the poison’s degree of toxicity.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2258 by desirenovel
The living room fell quiet upon Joshua’s words. Rachel lifted her head unconsciously with a hint of disbelief in her eyes. “What are you trying to imply, Mr. Lynch?”
She lifted her brows as she added, “Are you underestimating me?”
Joshua looked at Rachel as he curled up his lips. “I have more faith with my mother-in-law, that’s all. Dr. Liddell, I admit that you’re a very accomplished doctor in your field, and 1, on the other hand, have no medical knowledge. “However, I believe that my mother-in-law didn’t have a lapse of judgment in diagnosing Bonnie.”
Joshua meant that Rachel was wrong since he was convinced that Rosalyn could not be wrong. However, Rachel was not someone who was willing to just accept and carry on when someone who had no medical knowledge like Joshua criticized her.
None had ever dared to say she made a mistake ever since she studied to become a doctor, and Joshua was the first ever. Her ego, thus, did not allow anyone to criticize her.
She sneered and snatched the document from Joshua. “If Mr. Lynch doesn’t believe me, care to point out what mistake did I make? If you can’t, I hope you’ll apologize to me now. I may just be a run-on-the-mill doctor with no influence and power like you do, but I refuse to let anyone question my knowledge and ability in the medicinal area.”
Joshua squinted, his eyes seemingly gleaming cunningly. “But there is no reason for my mother-in-law to say that her future daughter-in-law is about to die, is there?” He sighed. “Dr. Liddell, there’s no need to get so worked up. I’m just telling you my query.” Rachel sighed coldly before turning away, crossing her arms at her chest. Caleb quickly comforted her by stroking her back. “Calm down, calm down. Mr. Lynch is just curious. He didn’t mean to be rude. You…”
He subconsciously looked in the direction of Caleb’s room and whispered to Rachel’s ear, “If you got worked up and talked loudly, the man will think that you purposely wanted to attract his attention.”
Rachel rolled her eyes when Caleb mentioned Theo. She lowered her voice CWYCKEFY retorted, “How childish can he be?”
“It’s the same with every man who’s in love.” Caleb chuckled and continued to whisper to Rachel’s ear and rubbed her head affectionately, “Alright, alright. Didn’t we agree that you’re going to forget that heartless man? I’ll be by your side to remind you not to do anything that makes him think he has any chances with you, just as we’ve discussed.” Only then did Rachel’s face eased a little. She pursed her lips and looked at Caleb helplessly.” Fine, I will stay calm.” Just as Caleb finally calmed Rachel, he curled up his lip and was about to get on his feet.
Suddenly, he saw Theo open his door, and he swiftly pulled Rachel into his arms and played with the loose hair on her sideburns with a smile on his face. “Mr. Lynch, you’ve hurt Rach a little here. Maybe you’re right, though, or perhaps Rach is too excited to be engaged with me these few days and failed to see the problem. “I’ll let her do another examination when there’s a chance.” Theo overheard the conversation and was stunned. ‘Caleb is calling her ‘Rach’ now? He even says she’s overjoyed because she’s engaged to him, and that’s why she made a mistake in her work’ Loneliness and jealousy crept into Theo’s heart.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2259 by desirenovel
‘Rachel is…’
A few days ago, she was in despair to see Theo throwing a tantrum at the Civil Affairs Bureau just to obtain a legal marriage license.
It had only been a couple of days since that day, yet she was already making mistakes in her work just because she was thrilled to be engaged with Caleb.
Back then, Theo knew there was a very professional doctor who respected her work a lot by the name of Rachel Liddell. Not once had she ever made a mistake in her work, too.
After he met her, he often accompanied her and was there to witness her successfully completing many surgeries that many did not dare attempt. Even when she suffered from great pressure, she never faltered.
That changed right after she was engaged to Caleb.
Did that mean Caleb was very important to her? She did not seem to be as excited when she promised to be Theo’s girlfriend.
It hurt. It felt as though hundreds and thousands of ants were crawling on Theo’s heart.
He took a deep breath and strode toward the kitchen. Rachel saw the way he walked to the kitchen with a glass of water at hand and not looking anywhere else. She smiled bitterly and thought, ‘Caleb is right. Does he truly think I was angry and made a commotion just to attract his attention?’
She thus placed her head on Caleb’s shoulder and said, “Caleb was right; I admit I was too irritated. No one had ever questioned me, so I think that Caleb could be right. I was too happy to be engaged with him and had made a mistake in my work. I’ll go back and reexamine Bonnie once more and try to discover the basis of Ms. Lawson’s diagnosis.”
Luna could not help but furrow her brows, and she then looked in the direction where Theo was at.
He was pouring himself a glass of water in the kitchen, but Luna could tell there was water in the glass before he supposedly ‘refilled’ it. It was enough for him to drink for the whole afternoon, too. ‘He picked this time to go to the kitchen to get some water, but it’s not to refill his glass. This man…’
She sighed DWSLAfP gazed at Rachel, who, at this moment, was leaning into Caleb’s arms with a pretty smile. She acted all lovey-dovey with Caleb as though she was truly a woman in love.
Luna would have believed they were in love had she not known Caleb was into women. At this, her heart could not help and felt sorrowful for Rachel and Theo. ‘what if Rachel marries Caleb a month from now after all? What is Theo going to do? Is he going to live as Roanne’s husband for the rest of his life?’
Amid Luna’s worry, someone knocked on the door. This time, it was Sean, Luna’s non biological brother. He looked like he just woke up with his hair tousled. “The news is everywhere; Jim is marrying Bonnie today.” Sean’s eyes reddened as he stared at Luna. “Is it true?”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2260 by desirenovel
Luna paused as she gazed back into Sean’s grieving eyes. She wanted to tell Sean the truth, but she found herself struggling to.
She opened her mouth as her voice disappeared in her throat. “Sean, you…”
Luna knew that Sean had a crush on Bonnie, but she did not expect him to have such deep feelings for her. The sadness and despair in Sean’s eyes were so strong that Luna could not bear to tell him the truth that would hurt him. Sean was like a wounded puppy, waiting for his owner to give the ultimatum. Luna sighed and turned her face to another side, unwilling to speak.
“Yes, Bonnie is marrying Jim today.” Joshua stood up and pulled Luna into his arms, looking at Sean indifferently. “Sean, as Jim’s biological brother and the godson of Charles and Rosalyn, you should be happy.” Joshua then walked over and used his hand to straighten Sean’s hair gently. “You should tidy up your image and wear something decent to attend your brother and sister-in-law’s wedding.
Every word that Joshua had uttered was like a knife, stabbed deeply into Sean’s heart.’ Brother? Sister-in-law? I don’t want a brother or a sister-in-law! I only want Bonnie!’
Bonnie was the first woman he had ever wanted to take care of and protect in his life, other than Nikki. He was there to see her endure all the pain and torture Jim had dealt him, and he was heartbroken to see her beat her chest because of Jim.
He wanted nothing but to be beside Bonnie to take care of her, even if she did not like him, even if she still had feelings for Jim.
He did not care. All he wanted was to protect her. Why did God deny him that chance?
Moreover, Bonnie was still unconscious. Without her consent, how could Jim make the decision to announce they were getting married?
‘I won’t allow it! I disagree!’ Sean bit his lip and stared at Joshua with reddened eyes. “Bonnie is still unconscious. This wedding isn’t legitimate.”
“That’s not up to you to decide.” Joshua furrowed his brows and said plainly, “Sean, you’re Aunt Lucy’s second son. Blood relation-wise, you’re my cousin BSVCNCFU also part of the Lynch family.
“As a Lynch, you should be able to let those who aren’t yours go with ease. Since Bonnie has someone taking care of her, you should let her go.” Sean sneered and raised his head to look at Joshua. “Easier said than done. If Luna is with another man, will you congratulate her sincerely?”
Dead silence quickly enveloped the atmosphere in the living room.
Caleb and Rachel made eye contact, feeling that Sean was inappropriate for Sean to be asking this question. Theo, who was in the kitchen, turned off the tap water and played with his phone as he waited for his water to boil, all while eavesdropping on their conversation. If Luna was with another, would Joshua ever choose to give up? He knew very well the answer to that question. When he and Luna were pretending to be a couple, Joshua had never given up on Luna Theo was quite curious as to what Joshua would answer. Luna furrowed her brows and looked at Joshua, then at Sean, before saying, “It’s not the same.
