Chapter 2010
“No.”
As soon as Jim’s words escaped his mouth, Bonnie interjected without even a single hint of hesitation.
She handed Jim over to Mickey and added in a voice so cold that there was barely any warmth in it, “How can he
and I possibly get back together? Mr. Jim is still waiting to marry his precious Charlotte.”
With that, she turned and left.
Jim remained motionless, deep in his thoughts as he watched her leave.
When Bonnie disappeared from his view, he turned to glance at Mickey. “She and I…”
“You two were together in the past, and you were very close too,” Mickey replied in his deep voice as he lowered his
head. “If Ms. Charlotte hadn’t come back to Merchant City, the person you would’ve been marrying would be Ms.
Bonnie by now.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJim furrowed his brows when he heard this. He glanced coldly at Mickey and asked, “Does this – mean that I was the
one who had wronged her?”
Even though he could feel the displeasure in Jim’s gaze, Mickey still nodded in defiance. “Well, according to what
happened, that was indeed the case. You…”
He let out a sigh but decided to keep the truth about Jim being poisoned by Charlotte to himself.
He had been with the Landry family for more than 20 years, and he knew exactly what kind of temper Jim had. If he
attempted to convince Jim otherwise of something he believed, it would serve them no good apart from angering
him.
“What did I do?” Jim asked, frowning when he saw Mickey hesitating.
“Nothing.” Mickey let out a bitter chuckle and continued carrying Jim back to the mansion. “I just thought you’d
never believe Ms. Bonnie.”
Jim glanced at him through narrowed eyes.
For some reason, he felt that Mickey was hiding something from him.
After bringing Jim back to Landry Mansion, Mickey quickly helped him clean and bandaged his wounds and left soon
after that.
However, Jim could not seem to fall asleep at all.
He opened his laptop and could not stop searching for other clues about Bonnie but to no avail.
The only thing on his laptop related to Bonnie was the photo he had taken of her underneath the maple tree.
Leaning against the back of his leather chair, Jim gazed at the photo for a very, very long time.
That night, after finally drifting off to an uneasy sleep, Jim had a dream.
In his dream, a girl dressed in red stood underneath a maple tree, GJG’NE_} she called out to him in her clear,
singsongy voice, “Are you done yet, Jim? What use is it for you to spend so much time just taking one photo?
“Come on, hurry up. I need to pee! I can barely stand straight now!”
Jim could not help chuckling as he held the camera up to his face and gazed at the woman’s slender back. “Ms.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCraig, you’re the only woman I know who’d say something like that. I can’t believe you used to be a reporter in the
past. Aren’t you supposed to be literary instead of using such crude language like that?”
The woman turned to roll her eyes at him. “How long have we been dating already? After being together for so
long, it’s only natural that I have to be straightforward.
– “What else do you expect? Am I supposed to tell you I’m thirsty when my bladder is about to
burst?”
With that, she furrowed her brows and suddenly realized that she was making fun of herself instead, so she quickly
added, “Besides, you know what kind of person I am. If you don’t like me this way, you can find a new girlfriend!”
Jim curled his lips into a smile when he heard this, strode over to her side, and pulled her into his arms. “I don’t
want a new girlfriend anymore after finding you.”
Bonnie rolled her eyes at him. “You’re slick, aren’t you?”
Despite that, she still snuggled closer to him and said with a smile, “Well, you’d better stick to your word, Jim. If you
dare break my heart, I will curse you…”
