Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy Chapter 1837
After returning to the room, Charlotte got into the shower.As she stood beneath the showerhead and felt the warmth of the water on her skin, she could not help frowning when she recalled what had happened.The look in Jim's eyes, as well as the way he had held her against the sofa, made her feel fearful every time she thought of it.This man…was far too dangerous.The drug that Rosalyn had concocted had worked perfectly. Otherwise, Jim would not have treated Luna that way, nor would he treat Bonnie so cruelly today.However, the drug could only make him believe Charlotte's every word after losing his memories, and it could not change his personality or true nature at all.What he had done to her downstairs was out of his true nature.The more Charlotte thought about this, the more fearful she became.She had just gotten back together with Jim for a few days, so she could not allow a small issue like this drive a wedge between them.After coming out of the shower, Charlotte qu

The half-empty vial of liquid kept on the shelf was the drug that Charlotte had stolen from Rosalyn's warehouse.Roanne curled her lips into a smirk when she laid eyes on it.In truth, Charlotte had only used one-third of the vial when drugging Jim, but Roanne had told her that she had used two-thirds.Therefore, Charlotte would not suspect anything even if she only took a small portion out for her.After all, Charlotte would never believe that Roanne would betray her.Roanne curled her lips into a smirk and poured small amounts of the drug into another bottle.After being at Charlotte's beck and call for so many years, Roanne knew that she had already returned her favor.From this day onward, it was time to live her own life.…In the evening, Roanne drove to Landry Mansion to hand the small bottle of medicine to Charlotte.Initially, she had wanted to leave immediately after, but she bumped into Jim, who had just returned from a jog, as she was about to go out the door.He

Jim furrowed his brows as he glanced at Charlotte. "Haven't you always hated mutton?"He remembered as clear as day that this was why Number-9 and Number-12 became close friends. Number-9 hated mutton, but unfortunately for her, the orphanage served it for their meals quite often, which was why she became friends with Number-12, who loved mutton and was willing to give out her vegetables and bread in exchange for mutton.At that time, Jim had puzzled over this and even asked Number-9 why she was willing to give out her meat in exchange for vegetables and bread. It was clear to anyone that this was not a fair trade at all.However, at that time, she had told him with a smile that since she did not need it, she was willing to sacrifice herself and give it to someone else who needed it more than her.Because of this, Jim had fallen in love with this young girl's cheerful and caring attitude and had kept the memory of her close to his heart despite only having lived at the orphanage fo

"Even if someone were to sabotage our relationship, I won't fall for their tricks."With that, Jim placed another piece of meat on her plate; his attitude toward her evidently softened compared to before.Charlotte seized this opportunity and placed a bowl of soup, which contained the drug used to control Jim, in front of him. "I made you a bowl of soup; you should drink it while it's still hot."Jim was already feeling a little guilty for his behavior toward her, so when Charlotte handed him the bowl of soup, he did not suspect anything and instead drank it immediately.Soon, the drug started to take effect.Jim let out a yawn, put down his cutlery, and excused himself from the table to get some rest.When Jim disappeared from view, Charlotte finally let out a sigh of relief. "Well, since Master Landry has already gone to bed, I guess…"Even though Roanne had not finished her meal yet, she could feel the cold, stifling aura emanating off Charlotte's body that was clearly hintin

Roanne was utterly stunned by Charlotte's sudden aggressive behavior.She bit her lip and lifted her head to stare at Charlotte, blood still seeping out of the corner of her mouth. "Charlotte, I have no idea what you're so pissed about."Roanne was just telling the truth; she did not understand why Charlotte was so irate.Whether it was at the orphanage or after they had escaped from that horrible place, Charlotte had always been the one who loved mutton.When they were still at the orphanage, a girl named Number-9 used to offer her uneaten mutton to Charlotte in exchange for vegetables and bread.Even though Roanne was a timid girl who was constantly bullied by the rest of the children, she still knew what was going on and had a vivid memory of this kind girl.This was because…every time Number-9 got her hands on the vegetables and bread, she would give half of her food to Roanne in secret.Because of Number-9's kindness, Roanne had managed to survive and did not starve to deat

The man was mild-mannered, gentlemanly, and emanated an aura of knowledge and culture.Roanne was willing to believe that this man was her dream come true.However, this wondrous sensation only lasted until she got into the car.As soon as she got into the backseat, she discovered that two other people were sitting in the car.The man sitting in the front passenger seat was Joshua, whereas the woman sitting in the backseat, next to her, was none other than Luna.She was more than familiar with these two faces.Roanne bit her lip and was about to open the car door, but the handsome man swiftly locked the car before she could get out.Theo, who had gotten into the driver's seat, smiled as he glanced at her. "You haven't even put ice on your swelling yet, so why are you so desperate to get out?"He glanced at Luna and said, "Get her some ice."Luna muttered in agreement and handed Roanne a packet of ice she had prepared beforehand. "Here you go."Roanne bit her lip and, after tr

Roanne's entire body stiffened when she heard this.She lifted her head to stare at Joshua through the rearview mirror. "Are you saying…you can help me find my birth parents?"Joshua curled his lips into a small smile. "Of course I can."He shifted into a comfortable position and gave Roanne an elegant smile. "The only people in Merchant City who are willing to help you…aren't capable of doing so, whereas the people who can…will never be willing to help you."Therefore, your only chance is to work with me."Roanne bit her lip when she heard this.Joshua was right.It was not that she had never tried searching for her birth parents before, but the people willing to help her did not have the power and influence to do so.To find the couple who had abandoned her more than 20 years ago was like trying to find a needle in a haystack.However, the people who could truly help her…would not be willing to do so at all.Even though she was the sister of Charlotte Jacobs, Jim Landry's g

"When I find them, I'll bring them over to see you so that they can get a clear idea of what you've been up to alongside Charlotte."The tone in Joshua's voice grew frostier as he continued, "You deliberately sabotaged Jim and Bonnie's relationship and his sibling bond with Luna, and even plotted to take the Landry family fortune as your own."If your parents see the despicable things you did, they'll probably be glad that they decided to abandon you at that orphanage."The atmosphere inside the car was suffocating.Roanne clenched her fists as she lifted her head to glare at Joshua. "I never did any of these! Don't spout nonsense like this!"All of these were Charlotte's doing, so what did they have to do with her?She was obeying Charlotte's orders and doing things as she wanted!"This isn't nonsense; everyone in Merchant City knows what you did." Joshua reached out to unlock the car door with a sneer. "Didn't you want to get off? Well, you can go now, and anything I do after

At that, he looked at Gwen. "Actually…"Steven found himself unable to finish his sentence. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled. "Forget about it.""Steven…" Gwen looked at him, and her tears fell.Her heart was not made of stone. How could she not know Steven's feelings toward her?She was silent for a long while. In the end, she stood up and slowly walked over to Steven with arms opened wide. "Give me a hug."Steven hesitated for a while, but he still stood up.They hugged."Gwen." Steven hugged her thin figure. "I have to meet you earlier in the next life so I can compete fairly with my brother."Gwen nodded with tears streaming down her face. "Okay."They thus hugged once more. Minutes later…"He's gone," said Stefan.Tears kept falling.They hugged for a while longer before pulling apart. Gwen looked at Stefan with her tear-stricken face. He had tears on his face as well.She bit her lips and reached out to wipe his tears. "A—Are these tears…yours or his?

The next day, Rachel flew from Merchant City to Sharnwick City to diagnose Anne's condition. Theo tagged along as well because he had another identity, Rachel's boyfriend."According to the report, Anne's condition is slowly recuperating." Rachel was relieved after assessing the report. "Although she is very weak, she is going to get better with lots of rest."There is nothing wrong with her vocal cords too. It could be a psychological thing that makes her lose her voice. A knot in her heart that causes it." She looked at Luna, then at John. "Considering all factors, I think that knot is Luna."Rachel continued, "John, I know Luna is the root cause of all these bad things. Being away from Luna, Joshua, and other people is going to guarantee a safer life for you and your family. But have you thought about it from Anne's point of view? Other than you and Sammie, she has her own life and her circle of friends. Never has she blamed Luna for what happened, yet you forced her to leave Lun

It was almost a miracle for Anne to willingly leave the house just to visit him!Robyn, meanwhile, sobbed at the sight.The nurse who accompanied Anne to the ward was puzzled. What was going on with these people?She snuck her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of this surreptitiously. Then, she sent it into the nurse's group chat with the caption, [What a strange family I met today.]The nurses in the group chat began gossiping about this. One of them tagged a fellow nurse named Daisy and said, [Hey, isn't this the guy who saved the old man you're looking after? What a hero!]Daisy was, at this moment, walking into Andy's room to help him change his wound dressing. She saw the message but was not able to type on her keyboard to respond, so she recorded a voice message instead. "Yes, that's the man. What's wrong with his family? What are you guys talking about?"As soon as she finished her sentence, she lifted her head and finally realized that Andy was not there.Instead,

Anne stared at John for a long time before forcibly smiling and told him in sign language, "Robyn didn't return after so long, so I got worried and came by to check on her.""Daddy, Aunt Robyn, are you two hugging?" Sammie asked, blinking innocently as she raised her head in curiosity.John and Robyn turned pale at this.It was understandable for such a young child like Sammie to misinterpret them as hugging, but what would Anne think of this?John leaped off the bed and staggered toward Anne. "Anne, it's just a misunderstanding…"However, he was still so weak that his legs could not hold up the full weight of his body at all, and he almost crumpled to the ground.Quick-witted Robyn managed to catch him before he could fall, but this gesture appeared once again rather intimate to both Anne and Sammie. Sammie furrowed her brow and asked rather indignantly, "Are you hugging again? Daddy, how can you hug Aunt Robyn like this when you've never even hugged Mommy and me like this befor

When the nurse pushed Anne to John's ward, she overheard John and Robyn fighting from the door. The fight was about how John was anxious to return home because he was worried about Anne and Sammie.However, as someone who used to work as a nurse, Robyn knew John should not leave the hospital after being shot by a gun. At least, he needed to stay in the hospital and be observed for 24 hours to make sure that he was fine before leaving the hospital. If an infection happened, John's body would crash easily and he would become weak just like Anne.In the ward, John frowned and talked with a serious tone, "I'm really fine. Get me my clothes so I can go upstairs to thank Miss Andie and go back home immediately. If Anne knows that I'm hurt, she is going to worry. She will easily be suspicious since you haven't gone back home for a long time. What if she worries about me and brings Sammie to the hospital to look for me? Can you bear yourself even just thinking about it? She's weak and Sammie

Sammie's soft and cute babyish voice melted Stefan's heart immediately. It had been quite some time since he actually put a smile on his face. "Hi, there. What's your name and how old are you?"Sammie tilted her head to look at Stefan's handsome face and smiled sweetly, "I'm Samantha but everyone calls me Sammie."Then she did not forget to introduce Anne to Stefan too. "This is my Mommy. Her name is Anne."At this point, Stefan had given all of his attention to Sammie and did not notice Sammie mentioned that her mother's name was Anne. He pinched Sammie's cheek and said, "Your Mommy is not feeling well. You have to be a good girl and take care of her, do you understand?"Sammie nodded seriously and said, "I will.""Alright, sir. I will bring them to where they want to go," the nurse saw Anne signing to her anxiously. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will take good care of them."The promise from the nurse gave an assurance to Stefan that they would be well taken off. He smil

This was the first time Anne brought Sammie out. Ever since she escaped from death, she became a different person—a recluse and was afraid of the sun. This situation became even worse after she became mute.The last time she left the house was two weeks ago when she had to go for surgery.However, she worried about John. In the morning, Robyn told her John was hurt and needed to stay in the hospital to rest. However, she had a hard time believing what Robyn said.After spending so many years together with John, Anne reckoned she was the one who knew John the most. If it was a minor injury, John would never want to stay in the hospital. He cared too much about her and Sammie, so he never dared to let her worry about him. Therefore, it just did not sound reasonable if John would stay in the hospital because of a small injury.Furthermore, Robyn had not returned home since the morning, which was nearly three hours since she left the house. After much consideration, she decided to call

Tara fell silent upon hearing this. She bit her lip nervously and shot Gwen a tentative glance. "I didn't mean to offend you, Gwen…" "I know." Gwen let out an exhale and interrupted Tara before she could finish, "I know you meant no harm, but I can't deny that this is something I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around. In the future, neither of you—even you, Luna—should bring this up again." Her love life was such a mess that not even she could unravel the ties, much less expect other people to understand. Tara pursed her lips and did not reply. Luna stared at Gwen in silence for a while before finally saying, "But you have to face this eventually, Gwennie. After all that you've been through with Luke, all of us hope for nothing but the best for the two of you. Even if you avoid it now, you'll have to face the truth eventually. Otherwise, are you planning on spending the rest of your life in this complicated relationship with Luke? Can you bear the thought of not being

Stefan was mildly amused by the look on her face. He extended his arms out in a gesture of defeat and said, "I never intended on ratting you out to Joshua. You three spoke about these secrets in my presence." With that, he shot Andy a rather helpless look. "Don't you agree, sir?" Andy was surprised to be called out all of a sudden. "Of course!" Although Gwen and Luke had been together for a long time, Luke had never much cared for maintaining good relations with his future father-in-law. He always thought his relationship with Gwen did not concern anyone else outside of the two of them. Combined with the fact that Andy had done some hurtful things to Gwen in the past, Luke grew even more disdainful of his future father-in-law. Because of this, he had never given Andy as much as a second glance throughout their relationship and rarely ever addressed him directly like this. The truth was, Stefan had already called out to Andy once before, during their rescue mission the day befor
