Rosalyn’s words echoed in Bonnie’s mind even after she left the room.
“The reason he doesn’t remember you is that…to him, you’re the person that matters the most.
“Please, promise me that you’ll marry Jim.”
Bonnie bit her lip as her mind started to buzz. For a split second, she found it difficult to digest what
Rosalyn had said. All this while…she was the person that mattered the most to Jim.
How could this be?
Bonnie’s mind kept replaying all the events that had occurred since she arrived in Merchant City and
Jim’s cold attitude toward her.
Every time they met, he would look at her with an expression so repulsed that it was as though she
was the most disgusting thing he had ever seen. How could she matter to a man who treated her like
this? Bonnie could not seem to convince herself of this. However, she could not deny Rosalyn’s claims
either. All of a sudden, after walking for God knew how long in her daze, Bonnie heard the sound of a
horn behind her. .
The sharp blaring of the horn pierced through her thoughts, and she immediately snapped out of her
daze. She quickly turned around. Jim’s black Kayenne was parked behind her, and he wound his
window down when she finally turned around.
“Get in the car.” Bonnie paused for a moment, contemplating this, then finally gave in to her instinct.
She opened the door and got into his car.
Jim started the engine. He gripped the steering wheel tightly and said in a cold voice, without even a
single hint of emotion, “I know you don’t want to marry me either, since…”
He curled his lips into a smirk and finished his sentence on a disdainful note.
“You’ve already taken a new lover.”
Bonnie bit her lip. Truth be told, nothing was going on between her and Sean.
The only feelings she had toward Sean were immense guilt after the suffering he had undergone
because of her. Jim did not take notice of Bonnie’s emotions at all and instead continued, “My parents
want me to marry you simply because firstly, you and I may have dated in the past, and I had indeed
made the promise of marrying you, so they wanted me to fulfill my promise. “
‘Secondly…” He narrowed his eyes.
“Secondly, you’re Harvey’s birth mother, and if we get married, we can give Harvey a good home.”
Bonnie lifted her head to stare at Jim in disbelief.
“You… You know about me and Harvey…”
“Yes.” Jim understood immediately why she was so surprised.
“Roanne had mentioned this earlier when she tried to lure Charlotte to admit her crimes.“Besides, I had
also looked into this, and I found out that you and I had been in the same room at the same hotel on
that fateful day six years ago.
“Therefore, I know that you’re Harvey’s mother.”
Bonnie’s entire body was frozen in shock. A split second later, she bit her lip and asked, “So… you’re
still unwilling to marry me despite knowing I’m Harvey’s mother, right?”
The air seemed to fall silent.
Jim narrowed his eyes. “Why are you asking this?”
Bonnie wrung her hands nervously and lowered her head to stare at her fingers.
