Jim could not believe the audacity Bonnie had.Did she not claim she was pregnant? If so, why was she wearing makeup?Pregnant women were not supposed to wear makeup, and even if they had to, they would use makeup that was made specifically for pregnant ladies.Jim did not understand if Bonnie was too stupid to know this or if she had not thought about the consequences of her actions on her unborn baby.As soon as he thought of this, the look in his eyes turned to that of extreme repulse."Bonnie."In contrast, Christopher's face was etched with worry and anxiety.He could tell that Bonnie was wearing makeup to hide her dark circles and conceal the haggard look on her face.Therefore, he could not help growing even more concerned about her.He had to take Bonnie away from this place no matter what and bring her back to Swan Lake Chalet with him!Bonnie curled her lips into a smirk when she heard the sound of her name, then turned around and sat down next to Luna. "I heard you
Bonnie could not help snickering when she heard this.She lifted her head to stare at Jim and said in a mocking tone, "I don't know if I should call you naïve or stupid; do you think Christopher having taken care of a child before is proof of his love for children?"Jim sneered. "Is it not?""If so, does this mean I'm a saint for having helped you take care of two of your kids? Aren't you going to repay me for this?" Bonnie stared coldly at Jim and continued with a voice laced with exhaustion and weariness. "Jim, I don't know what your intentions of coming here with Christopher are."Christopher has already persuaded me to get an abortion, but I refused."This time, he brought you along for God knows why, but I'll only say this once more."She let out an exhale, stared at her injured right little finger, and said in a cold, emotionless voice, "The baby in my belly belongs to you, not Christopher."Both Jim and Christopher's expressions darkened upon hearing this.Jim was so out
If Christopher found out that she had faked the consent form, he would stop at nothing to force Bonnie to get rid of the baby!As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie bit her lip and exclaimed, "I lost the form!"With that, she shot Jim and Christopher a displeased look. "Who in their right mind would even keep it?"Christopher burst out into laughter. "Lose it?"He crossed his arms in front of his chest and fixed his gaze on Bonnie's flat belly. "If you had gone through with the surgery, the surgeon would've told you to keep your consent form in a safe place, not just to declare it to the medical insurance company but also to serve as proof when the hospital calls you back for a follow-up appointment in the future."You claim that you've lost the form, so it's either because you didn't know better or you're lying."As he said this, Christopher placed his hands behind his head. "You can only choose one, Bonnie."Bonnie clenched her fists next to her upon hearing this. She bit her
The entire room fell silent.Bonnie bit her lip and watched Christopher carefully, her mind racing.She had been planning to tell the truth if Sean had not popped out at the last minute.Did this mean her child would be saved?No… Christopher was a doctor, so he could definitely tell that she had not gone through with the surgery.Nonetheless, Bonnie could not help wondering if it was possible, anyway.What if Christopher had not paid attention and misread a minor detail… Would he believe that this form was real?If so, her baby would be saved!Bonnie felt as though her heart was inching deeper and deeper into the depths of an emotional chasm as she watched Christopher.No, it was not possible.How could Christopher miss anything, judging by the detailed way he scrutinized the paper?Even discovering just a minor detail would expose her.Bonnie closed her eyes and tried to calm her racing heart.Why was it so hard for her to protect her child? It was already complicated en
"Since you've gotten rid of the baby, I guess we have no business being here anymore."As he said this, Christopher glanced at Jim, who had been sitting next to him. "Let's go, Jim."Jim narrowed his eyes. "So soon? Aren't we going to bring Bonnie with us?"Christopher curled his lips into a smile. "There's no need for that anymore."With that, he glanced at Bonnie with a somewhat reassured look. "Since she's already gotten rid of our child, I don't think there's a need for me to take care of her anymore."Jim furrowed his brows and stared at Christopher in puzzlement.The child that Bonnie had aborted was Christopher's child, but why did he not seem upset at all and relieved instead?When Christopher had brought up Bonnie on the phone the night before, he had teared up and claimed that he would stop at nothing to bring Bonnie home with him, where he would be able to take care of her.He even seemed thrilled to be a father, but at this moment…Jim furrowed his brows and glance
Bonnie had been mocking Jim about being deceived by Charlotte, but to Jim, it felt as though she was mocking him about falling for her and Luna's tricks previously.His expression darkened as soon as he made this realization.He stared coldly at Bonnie's cackling face and curled his lips into a sneer. "Do you think this is funny?"Bonnie finally stopped laughing and replied, with a slightly pitiful look on her face, "Don't you think it's sad, Jim?""I pity you more." Jim glanced coldly at her and added impassively, "You don't appreciate having someone who loves you as much as Christopher does, and instead, got yourself knocked up with another man's dirty offspring."Dirty offspring.These two words felt like thorns pricking into Bonnie's heart.She bit her lip and dug her nails into her palms so hard that her fingers started to hurt, but she did not seem to notice this.She stared at Jim intently. She had so much to say to him, but no words could encompass her feelings.Luna c
As the current CEO of Landry Group, Jim could not allow his employees to suffer the consequences of his impulsiveness.Therefore, Jim let out an exhale, suppressed the rage in his heart, and smiled at Joshua. "You must be kidding, Mr. Lynch. Why would I want to trouble an injured woman who had just gone through an abortion?"With that, he let out an exhale and turned to glance at Christopher. "Christopher, I understand that you want my help in forcing Bonnie to abort a baby that isn't yours, but as I said, there's nothing I hate more in this world than being deceived and used by someone."If I had known of your true intentions of coming here, I wouldn't have agreed to come with you in the first place."With that, Jim turned and strode away, leaving the pale-faced, motionless Christopher.Seeing that Jim was about to leave, he quickly stood up, but before he could even take a step, a pair of hands firmly pressed him back into his seat.It was Lucas.Christopher furrowed his brows
Luna furrowed her brows and pursed her lips in disapproval at the sight of Joshua's mysterious expression.She knew that as long as Joshua refused to tell her, she would not be able to find out the answer. Therefore, she decided not to pursue this question anymore and instead went straight upstairs.Initially, she had wanted to check on Bonnie, but when she passed by Bonnie's room, she saw from a crack in the door that Bonnie was leaning against Sean's shoulder, sobbing.She wanted to go inside and comfort her, but…As soon as Luna's hand touched the doorknob, she could not help hesitating.After all, the person who had hurt Bonnie was Jim, her brother.Even though he had lost his memories and been brainwashed by Charlotte, he was still her brother.Besides, a large part of how Jim ended up this way was Luna's fault.Therefore, Luna did not think it was appropriate of her to comfort Bonnie at this time, and maybe, Sean would do a better job at it.Instead of making Bonnie reca
