After all, there was no other candidate more suited to be his wife than her. As soon as she thought of
this, Bonnie mustered a bitter smile and replied, “Have you forgotten something, Mr. Landry?
“When your parents asked me to be their future daughter-in-law, I had rejected them, and even after
explaining this to me, I still turned you down.
“I refuse to marry you. I refuse to become a replacement for Charlotte, and if you want to marry me
simply to save face and not let all the money you put into the wedding preparations go to waste…I
refuse.”
Then, she strode down the last few steps, stomped over to the front door, and flung it open.
” You’re not welcome in my home, Mr. Landry, and it was already generous of me to take you in for the
night, but please don’t overstay your welcome. Please leave.” Jim furrowed his brows upon hearing
this.
This was the first time anyone had ever kicked him out of their house in his life!
How dare Bonnie do this to him? Did she somehow think she was better than everyone else? Did she
think she was special and that he had no one to turn to except her? Did she think that his wanting to
marry her somehow gave her the green light to do whatever she wanted?
As soon as he thought of this, Jim stood up, sneering, and said, “Bonnie, I sincerely hope you think this
over. After all, you’re not the only woman left in this world, and if you refuse to become my bride,
there’s plenty of other people clamoring for this opportunity, but…
He glanced at Harvey.
“Harvey and Shelly are going to be living with me after I get married, and if you’re fine with letting the
children live with a stepmother, then be my guest.”
With that, he circled past Bonnie and strode out the door.
Bonnie narrowed her eyes as she clutched the doorknob tightly.She stared at Jim as he left the
compound, got into his car, and drove away without turning back
When the car finally disappeared from view, a drop of tear that she had been suppressing for a long
time finally slid down her face.
Bonnie froze, then lowered her head to glance at Harvey, who was staring up at her with his arms
around her leg, his chubby little face raised to look at her.
“Are you going to marry Daddy because of Shelly?” Bonnie paused, removed Harvey’s arms from her
leg, then knelt to meet his gaze.
“Do you think I should marry your Daddy because of you and Shelly?” Harvey bit his lip and fell into
deep thought, then finally replied,
“I long for nothing more than to see you and Daddy overcome your differences and be together! I can’t
help feeling that you and Daddy are meant to be. You two started dating even before finding out that
you’re my birth mother, and to me, this feels like fate-like God wanted our little family to be complete!”
Then, he lifted his little face to stare at Bonnie.
“But if you’re not going to be happy with Daddy, I don’t wish to put you through this. I’m sure that even if
Daddy married another woman, me and Shelly would be fine!”
Then, he reached out to gently stroke Bonnie’s face and added, “To me, what’s most important is your
happiness, Mommy.”
