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 He never
expected Christopher to ask about Bonnie as soon as the call connected. This was the name that he
wanted to hear the least.
Jim let out an exhale BV;EC) I said, a hint of displeasure in his tone, “Christopher, it’s been a long time
since we last met, and I thought you were calling to catch up with me, but this is what you want to talk
about?” He sneered and added, “If all you want to do is talk to me about Bonnie, I don’t have anything to
say.
You should call me again another day when you finally think of something else to talk to me about.” :
Then, he hung up the phone.
Standing outside Tea Cottage, Christopher let out a sigh as he gripped the phone in his phone, listening
to the dial tone. He knew that something bad must have happened between Bonnie and Jim.
Not only that, but this problem was far bigger than what they had gone through in the past.
He let out a sigh, returned to his car, and ordered the driver to bring him to the largest pub in Merchant
City.
As he did so, he dialed Jim’s number again and said, “Jim, I can tell you’re in a bad mood now.
Why don’t we meet for a drink? “Meet me at our old spot.
I’ll be waiting for you.”
