Chapter 1998

Author: Inked Snow
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

    Bonnie still remembered how much it had hurt for her to get this tattoo.Initially, even though she had always thought this birthmark was hideous, she never intended to hide it with a tattoo at all.When she was still at the orphanage, she had once complained about her birthmark to the boy she had met there, but what he told her next delighted her so much that she changed her mind about her birthmark.He had said, "I heard that some angels helped God carry out a lot of good deeds while they were in heaven, so in order for God to repay them for their kindness, he deliberately left marks on their bodies when he sent them back down to earth as humans so he wouldn't lose track of them."That way, God will be able to recognize them for who they are and send his blessings their way."This was the first time Bonnie had ever heard anyone explaining it this way, so she widened her eyes in excitement and asked, "Are you saying that I was an angel in my past life, and God will bless me in th

    "Of course you can. This will be our house in the future, so you can renovate it any way you want."Charlotte nodded, then strode into the living room. "I want to switch out this sofa to a customized, high-end one. I previously saw one that would be perfect for this space, and it cost 1.8 million dollars. Can I buy that?"Jim nodded. "Of course you can.""The paintings on the wall are too simple; I'm planning to hang up a few paintings from famous artists. I'll look around to see if there's any that suits our house, but to match our status, I'll have to buy ones that cost upward of ten million."Also, the curtains and the rugs…"The numbers that came out of Charlotte's mouth were each bigger than the last as she rattled off her calculations for the renovation.Jim listened to her quietly and could not help furrowing his brows.A split second later, after Charlotte had finished talking, he stared at her and asked, "What if one day I lose all my money and become a broke, homeless

    The night grew darker.Perhaps due to their exhausting journey to Merchant City and the commotion ever since their arrival, it was surprisingly difficult to coax Shelly to sleep that night.Bonnie had to coax and soothe her for a long time before finally getting Shelly to sleep.By the time Bonnie placed Shelly back into her crib and confirmed that she had indeed fallen asleep, it was already past 10 o'clock.When Bonnie opened the door, she discovered that Harvey had fallen asleep on the couch, still clutching his phone.Bonnie sighed, walked over, and took his phone from his hand.His text conversation with Nigel was left open on the screen.[Nigel, no matter what happens, I will find a way to make Bonnie get back together with Mr. Jim.[I don't think I'll ever be happy again unless she becomes my new Mommy.]Tears slid down Bonnie's cheeks as she read these words.She lowered her head to stare at Harvey, sleeping soundly on the sofa, and suddenly felt as though someone had

"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.

    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
