"A…a bomb?" Luna immediately took a step back and stared incredulously at the box before her. "This thing is…a bomb?""Yes." Nigel smiled at her calmly and was about to open the box when Luna stopped him.She quickly went into the kitchen to check that the gas stove had been turned off, then closed the kitchen door behind her. She also gathered all the lighters and flammable products within the room and hid them somewhere else.After doing all this, she shot the box a wary glance and said, "Okay, you can open it now."Nigel curled his lips into a smile but did not say a word.Joshua, on the other hand, pulled her into his arms and said impassively, "It's just a bomb; you don't have to be so paranoid."Luna shot him an accusing glare. "What do you mean I'm paranoid? Don't you know how powerful bombs can be?"Just a single explosion could destroy their entire house! Surely it was better to be safe than sorry?"Don't worry." Joshua curled his lips into a smile and glanced at her.
"You have to look into this, Daddy."Joshua nodded. "Don't worry about it; I will."Bonnie was Luna's best friend and Jim's girlfriend before he lost his memories.Harvey was technically Joshua's nephew too, and on top of that, his son Nigel had been on the plane on which the bomb was planted.Out of respect to his cousin Jim, as well as his devotion and responsibility toward Luna and Nigel…Joshua would find the culprit behind this no matter what.Luna sniffed and said somewhat angrily, "What is there to investigate? It's clearly Charlotte's doing!"The only person who was threatened by Harvey's return was Charlotte. Therefore, the only person that would plant a bomb on the plane in an attempt to kill the children was no one but her!"I know." Joshua shot her a helpless glance. "However, you know fully well how much Jim trusts her now, and if we accuse her of this without any concrete evidence, he will never believe us."Luna pursed her lips. She knew Joshua was right, but…she
Meanwhile, at Landry Mansion, Charlotte was sitting on the sofa in the living room with tears streaming down her cheeks."Tell me the truth, Jim: Are you starting to hate me now because you think Ms. Bonnie is prettier than I am?" She stroked her face as she cried. "If I hadn't fallen for Heather's trick and got trapped in that fire, my face wouldn't even look like this today. After all, I used to be considered pretty too, before my accident ruined my face!"But now, I've become nothing but an ugly hag in your son's eyes…"Her voice started to shake as she sobbed, "Even if you change your mind about marrying me, Jim, I won't blame you. After all, men can't keep their promises, and you're a man, too."I shouldn't have thought you were different; I shouldn't have thought you would keep your promise to me that you made so many years ago when we were young…"It's okay, Jim. Even if you want to break up with me, I won't blame you."Jim let out a sigh when he heard this, walked over t
With that, Jim lifted his hand to gently stroke Charlotte's hair. "Don't worry. The only reason I agreed to Bonnie's terms is because of the children, not because I like her nor was it because I hate you."Now that the children love her so much, I can't tear them away from her so soon. After all, I've lost my memories of them, so I have to rekindle our relationship first."I don't intend on letting my children be raised by someone else."Finally, he removed his hand from Charlotte's hand and said, "As soon as the children warm up to you, I'll kick her out of this place and let you return."Charlotte could not help sneering secretly when she heard this.Now that she owned a villa in the fanciest part of town, she would never go back to living in such a rural area like Landry Mansion anymore.However, she still pretended to accept his offer rather sadly. "Alright, Jim, promise me that as soon as they warm up to us, you'll kick her out and let me come back!"Even if she did not wan
"Jim?" seeing that Jim was staring at Bonnie and Sean, Charlotte, too, glanced at the man, squinting. "This man does look a lot like how you did when you were twenty."Jim finally came to his senses. "Do you think so?""Yes." Charlotte snaked her arm around Jim's. "Although I must say, you're far more mature and smarter-looking than him."She turned to smile at him and added, "Do you think he and Bonnie look cute together? I think they'd make a great couple. After all, this man looks so much like you that if Bonnie were to get together with her, it'd satisfy her wish of dating you. Don't you think so?"As she said this, Charlotte tried to observe Jim's face for any change of emotions.Jim narrowed his eyes and curled his lips into a smirk as he stared intently at Bonnie, who was chatting happily with Sean. "She shouldn't be together with him."Charlotte tightened her grip around him. "Who do you think she should be together with, then?"Jim furrowed his brows and, for a split se
Joshua was worth it…unlike Jim.As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie started to doubt her decision to keep the baby.Was she really going through with the pregnancy?Jim was not worth her sacrifice at all."Careful, careful."At this moment, Sean had returned to the car, and with Harvey's help, he slowly brought Shelly out of her seat. He carried her in his arms carefully, as though he were afraid she would break.Bonnie had to admit that in many aspects, Sean was almost an identical copy of Jim.As she watched him carry Shelly, she could not help imaging the scene of Jim holding their future baby in his arms.As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie felt as though an invisible hand was squeezing her heart."Bonnie?" Harvey walked over to her, having noticed the sorrow in her eyes, and gently clasped her hand. "It's getting late now; shall we go rest?"He even grinned at her, trying to lighten the mood. "You still have to accompany me to Aunt Luna and Uncle Joshua's house to
Charlotte's entire body stiffened when she heard Jim's words.All of a sudden, she recalled that previously, when she was trying to convince Jim to bring Shelly and Harvey over to Merchant City, she had lied to him about Shelly being her daughter.At that time, all she thought was that since Shelly and Harvey would die in the explosion on their flight to Merchant City, as long as she feigned sorrow and devastation, she would be able to hold up to her lies.None of that went according to plan!Charlotte never thought that Joshua and Luna's wretched son would join them on their journey here, and not only had he managed to find all the hidden bombs, but he had also even switched out all the flight attendants and crew without her knowing!Charlotte's plans had been utterly ruined.Because of this, she had spent her entire day drowned in disappointment and anger, so much so that she had forgotten about what she had lied to Jim in the past.Jim had so suddenly brought it up at this mo
"We…"Before Charlotte could even finish her sentence, the driver quickly pressed a button, lowering the partition between the front and back seats.The back seat was entirely separated and concealed from the front of the car.Charlotte stared at the partition board and silently cursed the driver. Did he think he was being thoughtful? She was just using him as an excuse!She had not anticipated that the driver would literally take the hint.Jim could not help letting out a chuckle when he saw Charlotte staring dazedly at the partition board. "Well, we can now."He reached out once more and tried to pull open her collar.It was not because he wanted to take a look at her birthmark, but…He had seen Charlotte's bare shoulder before, and he did not recall seeing anything there.It was rather out of the blue, even, that he recalled that Number-9 had told him about her birthmark in the past.Therefore, he wanted to double confirm if this was true.However, Charlotte clung to her
