This low, familiar voice made both Christopher and Bonnie raise their heads.
The person who had stopped Christopher from shutting the door was Lucas.
As for the man who had spoken, it was none other than Joshua, who stood afar, watching them.
He was holding a cigarette between his teeth as he leaned against the lamp post elegantly.
He stared impassively at Christopher and said, “That’s not the way to win over a woman’s heart.” With
that, he glanced at a pale-faced Bonnie and asked, “Do you want to go with him or come with me?”
Bonnie bit her lip.
She first glanced at Christopher, then at Lucas, who was blocking the door.
A split second later, she pushed the door open, got out of the car, and walked slowly in Joshua’s
direction, clutching her belly with her injured hand.
Christopher furrowed his brows and immediately reached out to grab her arm.
However, as soon as he grabbed hold of her, Lucas frowned and flung his arm away.
“Dr.
Christopher, since Ms.
Craig has already made her choice, you shouldn’t force her anymore.” With that, he restrained
Christopher’s arms at his sides and finally released him only after Bonnie had gotten into Joshua’s car.
Even though Christopher was stronger than Bonnie, as a well-read scholar who spent most of his time
immersed in books, he was still no match for a trained man like Lucas.
Therefore, with his hands strapped by his sides, there was nothing he could do as he watched Bonnie
get into Joshua’s car.
After the door slammed shut behind her, he lifted his head to glare at Joshua.
“What happens between Bonnie and me should stay that way!” Joshua sneered, then put out his
cigarette elegantly.
“Previously, I didn’t really believe Jim when he told m e you had never dated anyone before and that
June was your adopted child, but now, I change my mind.
UVY “If using violence will change a woman’s mind and make her want to get together with you, then me
and Luna, as well as Gwen and Luke, would have lived happily ever after and have grandchildren by
now.” With that, he strode back toward his car as he said, “Go back home and reflect on your actions,
Christopher.
“Let’s go, Lucas.” Under Joshua’s orders, Lucas finally let go of Christopher and let out a sigh.
“Dr.
Christopher, I think you’d better…reflect on your mistakes.” With that, he got into the black Masevati and
started the car.
Christopher remained motionless and watched with a defeated look as the car pulled away.
He…was still no match for Bonnie in the end.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not make Bonnie give him even a second glance.
Inside the black Masevati, Bonnie sat in the backseat.
staring at her fractured right ring finger.
“Thank you, Joshua.” If he and Lucas had not appeared just in time, even if she managed to escape
being kidnapped by Christopher, she would lose a few more fingers during the process.
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Joshua glanced impassively at her through the rearview mirror and
said, “I have a family doctor at my place.
Do you want Lucas to turn around and bring you to the hospital, o r do you want to come with me to my
place?” ! Bonnie frowned, pondering this for a moment, before replying, “I’d prefer going back to your
place.” She did not want to return to the hospital anymore.
When she and Christopher had left, Jim was still there, and what if she bumped into him once more?
Would he call her a slut and accuse her of seducing Joshua, her best friend’s husband? Besides,
Christopher had plenty of friends working in the hospital, and maybe they would notify him if they
bumped into her at the hospital.
She did not want to see Christopher anymore for the time being.
Therefore, after weighing the risks and benefits of her situation, she decided it would be better to follow
Joshua back to his house.
After all, Theo and Luna both lived there, so it would not be inappropriate for her to visit.
Joshua was satisfied to hear this answer.
He shifted into a more comfortable position in his chair and asked, “Did you say you wanted to go to a
mall just now?”
