At the same time, Jim was not fully conscious, either.
If he had been fully conscious, he would not have asked the driver to bring him to Tea Cottage, nor
would he have said all those things to Bonnie.
Truth be told, he had shocked himself when he pulled Bonnie into his arms.
It was as though…there was a signal in his mind and body compelling him to do so.
He did not even know why he had done that. He had felt as though there was another version of
himself trapped inside him, ordering him to find Bonnie and propose to her.
As soon as he thought of this, Jim closed his eyes and let out an exhale, then gently knocked on his
forehead.
Could Christopher have been telling the truth? Had he and Bonnie been in love before he lost his
memories? Could he have forgotten Bonnie because she mattered too much to him? This sudden
realization made Jim frown and pursed his lips in deep thought.
A split second later, he shook his head.
Maybe it was just the alcohol playing tricks on his mind. He…he would never have fallen for Bonnie,
even in the past. After a long time, Bonnie finally finished cooking.
She brought out a bowl of soup from the kitchen and placed it in front of Jim. “Drink it. As soon as
you’re done, you should go home.
“This isn’t a place where your presence is welcome, so you’re not allowed to spend the night here.
“You have your own house, so you should go back there.”
Then, she stood up and made her way toward the stairs. She had just taken two steps when suddenly,
she turned around as though something had occurred to her.
“Jim, I don’t know if you’ll remember how you got here or what you did to me when you wake up
tomorrow, so let me tell you this.
“It’d be great if you remember nothing, but if you do, you should pretend this is all just a dream. I won’t
hold your actions against you, so you shouldn’t do the same to me. From today onward, we’re going
our separate ways.”
Then, she turned and disappeared up the stairs. Jim curled his lips into a smile as he watched her
leave, still poised on the sofa.
A split second later, he lowered his head to stare at the bowl of soup before him, his smile still hanging
on his lips.
He could not believe that Bonnie knew how to cook. Judging from how quickly she had prepared this,
she was adept at this.
Had she…done this before?
Had she only cooked for him?
Have any other men tasted her cooking before?
All of these questions flashed through Jim’s mind.
A split second later, he lowered his head to take a sip from the soup.
However, almost immediately, his entire body froze.
