"Leave?" The butler, who had been standing to one side all this while, paused for a moment before smiling at Sean. "Where are you going, Second Young Master?"I've already sent my men to your place to pack your bags and bring them to Landry Mansion."Then, he took out a pair of keys from his pocket and continued, "These are the keys to the front door. All the doors are secured with fingerprint locks, but unfortunately, because your fingerprint has yet to be recorded in our system, you won't be able to access it without keys. Therefore, I'm giving you the spare keys first so you can come home for the time being."The other key is for your room. We have arranged for you to sleep in the room between Young Master and Ms. Luna's, and it's a spacious room with a balcony view."This is the key to your car. I've already sent someone to retrieve the new car that the Landry family bought last year but didn't get to use and transferred it under your name. from today onwards, you'll have a car
"When Bonnie will wake up, and what's her condition like when she eventually does—all of these are information that you'll only be able to hear from the Landry family."With that, Jim turned around and began to walk away. "If you continue to refuse to become a part of the Landry family on the insistence that you can't get over your vengeance toward us, feel free to do as you please and bear the consequences."Sean's entire body froze upon hearing this.He was not worried about living together with Jim, nor was he unable to get over his hatred toward the Landry family.However, the thought of becoming the adopted son of the woman his birth mother hated the most before she died and even living under the same roof as her…Would his mother be angry at him if she found out?"Please come with us, Second Young Master." The butler smiled, seeing that Sean did not object to Jim's words, and immediately led the way.However, Sean did not intend to leave.He stood motionless, staring blan
Rosalyn's words made Jim's vision go dark.He immediately took a step back, suddenly feeling as though his entire body had gone limp.Joe quickly grabbed him before he could fall. "Are you okay, Master Landry?"Jim shook his head.The moment he heard Rosalyn say that he should brace himself for the worst, Jim felt as though all the strength in his body had been zapped away.Did Bonnie…only have seven days left to live?"Nikki was right about the poison, and unfortunately, I don't have a cure for it as of now." Rosalyn shot Jim a somewhat pained look, then sighed and added, "Jim, I know it's terrible news for you to hear, but…"She closed her eyes. "Our fates have been written in the stars, and not even the best doctors can save someone who already has one foot in the coffin. Besides…"She lifted her head to stare at him. "Bonnie's will to survive is severely deprived now, and if her will to live were stronger, she might have a fighting chance."Then, she lowered her head and c
Even while she was pregnant with Luna, Rosalyn still pulled him back from the brink of death countless times.Soon after, Charles gave up on his suicidal plans, but despite that, he could not help going insane whenever he was reminded of Lucy.It was Rosalyn who successfully managed to keep his moods under control.Not only did she have to help him stabilize his moods, but she even had to support the entire family on her own.Even when faced with Granny Lynch's fierce attacks of vengeance, Rosalyn managed to persevere and even made Landry Group flourish like never before.Soon after that, Luna went missing, and this finally made Charles snap out of his stupor and take back the responsibilities he should have borne.If it were not for Rosalyn, he would not be standing here.Rosalyn's presence helped him get through Lucy's devastating death and helped him get over the betrayal of finding out the truth about Lucy's death.If it were not for Rosalyn…Charles could not imagine how he
Jim's declaration made Charles and Rosalyn exchange a nervous glance.Rosalyn let out an exhale and fixated her earnest gaze on Jim's face. "Jim, you have to really consider this. You've refused when I wanted you to marry Bonnie, and now that she's ended up like this…"As your parents, we don't want you to go through the pain of losing a loved one not long after getting married, and besides…"She sighed. "Now that Bonnie is still in a coma, how can you obtain a certificate of marriage with her?""I'll take care of this." Jim fell silent for a moment, then lifted his head to meet his mother's gaze. "I'll find a solution to whether Bonnie can obtain a marriage certificate in her comatose state. As long as I get your approval…none of this will be a problem."Charles paused when he heard this and instinctively glanced at Rosalyn.A split second later, he let out an exhale and replied, "Jim, you should know that as your parents, we'd rather you have a happy and complete family, not th
Rosalyn sighed and clutched Charles' hand in comfort as they slowly left.Inside the room, Jim held Bonnie's hand. As he watched Charles and Rosalyn leaving through the window, he finally could not stop himself from sighing.He squeezed Bonnie's cold hand and said, "Bonnie, they've already agreed for us to get married…"I know that if you woke up right now, you'd still reject me because you don't think I mean it, that I'm just marrying you because of Harvey or just to mock you. The truth is…"He lowered his body and placed Bonnie's palm against his face. "I haven't been telling the truth."He closed his eyes, and a tear slid down his cheek.When did he fall for Bonnie?It was probably from the first time he laid eyes on her.The first time he saw her was not at Tea Cottage but when he caught sight of the photo on his laptop.Inside that picture, Bonnie was standing underneath a maple tree, dressed in red. Even with her back facing the camera, she still looked carefree and allu
Jim furrowed his eyebrows and said with a hint of helplessness, "Harvey, I know it's hard to accept this, but…"Harvey bit his lip and finally could not stop his tears from falling. "So…Mommy is really…"Jim nodded solemnly. He let go of Bonnie's hand and walked over to the door, then squatted and picked Harvey up in his arms. "Harvey…"It's all Daddy's fault. I committed many mistakes and was too cowardly to face my feelings. By the time I finally summoned the courage to face the truth, it's too late now."Harvey reached out and gently wrapped his short arms around Jim's trembling back. "Daddy…are you crying?"Jim froze for a moment, then suddenly realized that he had shed a tear while holding Bonnie's hand.He fell silent.The last time he cried was when he barged into the orphanage alone, trying to find Luna. That was almost 20 years ago.Jim had always thought the only reason he had cried was that he was too young.After all, real men never cried.At this moment, an epiph
This was probably how he and Number-9 had been like when they met at the orphanage back then.He had given Number-9 a token of remembrance so that they could find each other again in the future, but he never dared to say goodbye to her and told her about his feelings before he left.He always thought he would have a chance to see her again, but even until this very day, he had not managed to track her down.This seemed to be a recurring theme in all his relationships, including with Bonnie at this moment.Jim would always fall into the trap of thinking he had plenty of time to confess his feelings and start a relationship with the person he loved, yet all of a sudden, Bonnie only had seven days left.He closed his eyes. "Harvey, I'm planning…to host a wedding with your mother tomorrow."Harvey's entire body stiffened when he heard this. He immediately glanced at Bonnie, then at Jim. "But Mommy still hasn't woken up yet…""I don't want to wait any longer." He strode over, pulled
