“Just answer me.”
Truth be told, Bonnie did not know why she had asked him this either.
It was as though this question popped into her head without warning as soon as Jim told her he knew
about her and Harvey.
Even though she did not care whether Jim was willing to marry her or not…she wanted to hear the
answer coming out of his mouth.
“You’re right,” Jim answered her curtly, having no intention of sugarcoating the truth either.
“Bonnie, love isn’t a game. I don’t like you, and nothing will change that fact.
“I won’t marry you just because you’re Harvey’s mother; this isn’t fair to either you or me.”
Bonnie’s entire body stiffened when she heard this.
After a long time, she curled her lips into a smile and said, “Alright.”
She was pleased with this answer.She did not need his sympathy. Even though she had not given birth
to Harvey willingly, she did not think it was right for a child to become a negotiating tool between two
adults.
“Since you’re satisfied with my answer, I’m sure you’ll support my decision too.” Jim continued
impassively, “Bonnie, I don’t know what I did to you before I lost my memories, but I trust my feelings
now.“
And now, I don’t like you, so even if you’re Harvey’s mother, it won’t change my feelings toward you.
“Therefore, I’m inclined to believe that before losing my memories, I had dated you simply because I
had found out you were Harvey’s mother, that’s all.
“I won’t marry you, but if I tell this to my parents, they’ll reprimand me and make my life difficult…and in
the end, they’ll use everything in their power to force us to get married, so…”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “I hope that in a few days after Sean’s wounds have
healed, you’ll bring him over to meet my parents and tell them that you have a new boyfriend now and
that you don’t love me anymore. Hence, you don’t want to marry me.”
Jim parked the car by the roadside and turned to stare earnestly at Bonnie.
“If you agree to help me, I’ll do anything to help you in your need in the future.”
Bonnie bit her lip nervously.
Jim’s idea was indeed the best way of making Charles and Rosalyn give up on their insistence to marry
Jim and Bonnie, but… She bit her lip and turned him down.
“I’ll never do that.”
Jim furrowed his brows upon hearing this. He curled his lips into a smirk, swept his cold glance all over
Bonnie, and then sneered. “So you still want to marry me after all, don’t you, Bonnie Craig?”
As soon as he finished his sentence, Jim grabbed hold of her shoulder and pressed her hard in the car
door.
“You’ve been impassive and hostile toward me since the start, and even your new boyfriend… All of
this was just your way of playing hard to get, wasn’t it?” His frosty gaze was fixated on Bonnie’s face as
he said coldly, “I was right about you all along, Bonnie. You’re a manipulative woman who’ll do anything
to get what she wants.”
Bonnie did not see this coming at all, and she bit her lip nervously as she gazed back at Jim’s eyes,
just inches away from hers. The look in his eyes was so cold that Bonnie could not help suspecting if
Rosalyn had been lying to her all along.
How could this man, who stared at her with such an emotionless gaze, possibly love her? As Jim
inched closer and closer, and Bonnie started to struggle against his grip, Jim’s phone rang. He took the
call, frowning.
“What is it? Do you have news about Number-9?”
