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
At this moment, Bonnie could not help sneering as she stared at the man before her, who wore the pajamas he loved but stared at her with an expression so cold it was as though he was looking at his enemy.It turned out that women would do plenty of stupid things for their partners.As soon as they broke up, all the memories of the things she had done for him felt like knives that plunged into her heart.Pain, sorrow, despair."What are you laughing about?" Jim furrowed his brows and shot her a displeased look when he saw her smirking. "I'm asking you what you're doing here so late at night."Bonnie lifted her head to glance impassively at him. "I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."Jim squinted at her. "You walked all the way here because you couldn't fall asleep?"Whether it was before or after the explosion, this cave was off-limits to everyone!In the past, people were prohibited from getting near because this was where Rosalyn stored her drugs and poison.At present
Rage surged into Jim's heart when he heard this. "You're lying!"He fixed his dark, penetrating stare on Bonnie's face and furiously retorted, "You can't possibly have done it for money!"He had investigated everything about this woman; she was the last heir to the Craig family business and had inherited every last penny of the family fortune.According to rough estimations, the Craig family was worth almost as much as the Landry family.Not only that, but after suffering the financial losses as a result of Joshua's attacks, the Craig family had already surpassed the Landry family in terms of wealth and assets! How could Bonnie say that she was trying to trick him out of his money?"Who wouldn't want more money?" Bonnie retorted as though she could tell what he was thinking. She flung his arm away, sneering. "Haven't you always thought of me as this kind of person, Jim? From the moment I approached you, you've thought I was just trying to take advantage of you after losing your me
Jim's other hand was clutching his chest, and he appeared as though he was in excruciating pain.Bonnie's entire body stiffened at this sight.After hesitating for a moment, she let out an exhale, strode over, and helped him up from the ground. Then, she asked with a hint of repulse in her voice, "What's wrong?"Jim furrowed his brows and shook his head but did not reply.Bonnie knew that by shaking his head, he was trying to tell her that he was fine. "Do you expect me to believe you're fine after what just happened?"She rolled her eyes at him, helped him off the ground, and took out his phone from his pocket. Then, she dialed the number of the person he had saved on his phone as 'M'. "Hey, Mickey, are you at Landry Mansion now?"Jim has gotten injured, and we're near the drug warehouse in the backyard. Come help us."She had come out of the house in such a hurry that she forgot to bring her phone. On top of that, Sean was responsible for protecting Harvey and Shelly, so she c
"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."Jim 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 w
"What curse are you going to put on me?""I haven't decided yet.""Is that it, or do you love me too much to put a curse on me?"…Jim and Bonnie were so intimate in Jim's dream that it seemed so surreal.Jim awoke from his dream and quickly took a sip from his tea to settle his nerves.Everything that happened in his dream still made him a little worried just thinking back on it.Had he and Bonnie been as close as they had in the dream?If that was true, why was he unable to recall these memories of them together, and why did he have no recollection of her at all?"Mr. Landry, it's time to wake up and eat breakfast," a woman's voice rang out from outside the door.Jim recognized that voice. It was Roanne, Charlotte's younger sister.He furrowed his brows and murmured a reply, then got off the bed and decided to freshen himself up in hopes that it would calm him.In the dining room, Roanne had already prepared an entire table full of food.Jim sat at the table, and as he c
