Chapter 2025

Author: Inked Snow
Jim had rejected Charlotte's request.

Not only that, but he had done it without hesitation or any room for argument at all!

Charlotte exhaled and, no matter how reluctant she was, still feigned consideration and said, "Alright then. We'll do as you say."

With that, she strode over to his side and gently wrapped her arms around his waist. "Jim, it was my fault in the first place. I promise I'll pay more attention to Shelly in the future, so don't be mad at me anymore, okay?"

Staring at her earnest face, all the words that Jim had wanted to say caught in his throat.

Initially, he had wanted to question her about the validity of the recording he had heard in the car, but…

He let out a sigh and hugged her back. "Alright. I hope you can pay more attention to the children in the future. After all…"

He paused for a moment before saying, "Shelly is the product of our love."

Charlotte nodded, then buried her head against his chest and sobbed under her breath. "You've changed, Jim. I ask

    After leaving the house, Jim returned to Landry Mansion.He did not go into his study to work but instead went into his room and slumped on the bed in exhaustion.For some reason, every time he was about to take things further with Charlotte, he would pause and suddenly remember Bonnie's face.It was as though there was a voice in his head telling him not to betray her.Jim was puzzled by this. Why was he feeling guilt toward Bonnie for being together with Charlotte?He tossed and turned on the bed but could not seem to fall asleep.All of a sudden, he heard the voices of children shrieking in laughter.Jim furrowed his brows and immediately opened the balcony door in search of the noise.He found it at last.The voices came from the direction of the house Bonnie was staying in next to his.At that moment, the morning sun was warm and bright, and Bonnie was sitting in the yard, rocking a stroller while Harvey and June played in the garden.Sean stood straight-backed behind h

    "Yes, Sir!"With that, Jim's assistant left the room.As he left the room, he bumped into the butler, who was carrying a tea tray for Jim.The butler took one look at the bag the assistant was holding and immediately knew what it was for.There were a few strands of hair contained within that bag, and it was clear that they were meant for DNA cross-matching.Considering that Harvey and Shelly had just returned to Merchant City the day before, it was obvious who Jim wanted to perform this DNA test on.As soon as he thought of this, the butler quickly arranged for a man to keep an eye on the assistant.After that, he brought the tray into the study as though none of this had happened.Inside the study, Jim was leaning against the back of his chair, the muscles on his face waning in exhaustion."Master Landry." The butler smiled after putting the tray down. "Aren't you going to spend some time with Young Master Harvey and Little Miss Shelly? It doesn't seem good to let them stay

    When the butler arrived at the little house, Bonnie was playing with Shelly tenderly with a small smile on her face.In her arms, the baby giggled and crooned.The scene before him was so heartwarming that the butler did not feel like interrupting at all."Mr. Butler!" Harvey, who had just entered through the door, caught sight of the butler and immediately leaped into his arms. "I missed you so much!"The butler only had one son, Mickey. However, Mickey expressed no interest in getting married or settling down at all and instead spent most of his time buried in his research.Because of this, the butler was extremely fond of Harvey because he reminded him of the grandson he would never have.Back when Charles had still been in charge of the Landry family, he had told the butler smilingly that any grandson of the Landry family would be his, too.Watching Harvey sprint over to hug him, the butler could not help feeling as though his heart would melt.He picked up Harvey in his ar

    "You're right; Jim was a good person before losing his memories. He…never would've done something like that."However, every time Bonnie saw Jim for the past few days, she would feel a twinge of pain shoot through her heart, not because of how cruelly he treated her, but because…Every time she saw how coldly he acted toward her, she could not help recalling how gentle he was to her in the past.Every time the thought that such a kind, determined, virtuous man would never be able to return crossed her mind, Bonnie would feel as though someone had stuck a knife deep into her heart."You're right about one thing; Master Landry was a good person before he lost his memories." The butler let out an exhale and stared at Bonnie's face in determination. "Therefore, we have to try our best to make him remember his past memories."Bonnie shook her head, smiling bitterly. "I don't have the power to do that."No matter how many times she tried to approach him, she could not make him recall t

    Bonnie felt her heart leap into her chest upon hearing the butler's words.She was willing to bet that Shelly was not Charlotte's daughter at all, but despite that, she still wanted to know the results of the DNA test.What if…what if things were not as she thought?After all, Jim had never told her the identity of Shelly's mother.The butler did not intend to hide the results from Bonnie either. Instead, he put the call on speaker, and a man's voice rang out, "After Assistant Clark left the DNA Diagnostic Center, I returned and convinced them to give me a copy of the DNA test results by telling them he had lost the original copy."The man's voice was filled with excitement as he added, "There's an interesting discovery!"Bonnie bit her lip.Even the butler was excited to know the truth."There were five DNA samples sent for testing; one of an adult man, two adult women, one of a six-year-old boy, and one of an infant."Among these five samples, the man and one of the women we

    However, Harvey…was exactly the same age as her child would have been.As soon as she thought of this, a surge of excitement spread through Bonnie's heart.What if…Harvey was her long-lost son?This could not wait.After handing Shelly over to the butler, Bonnie immediately ushered Harvey into the car."Where are we going, Bonnie?" Harvey was a little bewildered by Bonnie's behavior. "Are we leaving Shelly at home just like this?"Bonnie pursed her lips. "There's something important I need to confirm."If… If Harvey was really her son…In the future, he would be able to call her Mommy instead of addressing her by her name!It would be a dream come true if Harvey was indeed her child after all.Bonnie's car sailed smoothly along the road.She was so immersed in her joy that she did not notice a black car following theirs.Inside the black car, the driver dialed a number as he trailed behind Bonnie. "Ms. Charlotte, I've confirmed that the destination Bonnie is headed to is th

    Bonnie's car was stopped in traffic halfway to the DNA Diagnostic Center.It seemed that there had been a serious accident up ahead, which caused the traffic to come to a standstill.As if this was not enough bad news, as she waited impatiently in the traffic, the black car behind her collided with the back of her car.However, this car did not belong to her at all; it was Joshua's, which Sean had driven over that morning with June.The other party immediately called the police after colliding with Bonnie's car and demanded an insurance reimbursement from her.Bonnie had no choice but to call Luna for help."What are you doing there?" Luna asked, frowning, as she walked around the house to find Joshua.Was Bonnie not supposed to be at home, playing with the kids? Why did she and Harvey end up in one of the busiest, most crowded areas of the city?Bonnie pursed her lips and contemplated for a moment but ultimately decided not to tell Luna the truth. "I brought Harvey out for som

    Quentin had caused a traffic jam and killed Jim's assistant…Luna felt her chest tighten at this thought.Could it be that he was the one behind Bonnie's accident too? What was this man trying to do?Joshua, too, had connected the dots."Bonnie is now stuck in a standstill traffic at the southern part of the city, and she has just gotten into a minor accident." Joshua fell silent for a moment, clutching the phone, then finally asked, "Do you have any men stationed around that area? Please do me a favor and send one of your men to help her. I'll be there soon.""No problem." Luke suddenly thought of something. "By the way, that assistant of Jim's was killed on his way back to Landry Mansion from the DNA Diagnostic Center."Luna and Joshua exchanged glances.Luna suddenly recalled that just that morning, she had dared Jim to use Shelly and Charlotte's hair and nails to conduct a DNA testing.Did this mean that…Assistant Clark was killed because he held the DNA results on him?Ho

    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
