CHAPTER 2006

Chapter 2006 The night grew darker.

Perhaps due to their exhausting journey to Merchant City and the commotion ever since their arrival, it

was surprisingly difficult to coax Shelly to sleep that night.

Bonnie had to coax and soothe her for a long time before finally getting Shelly to sleep.

By the time Bonnie placed Shelly back into her crib and confirmed that she had indeed fallen asleep, it

was already past 10 o’clock.

When Bonnie opened the door, she discovered that Harvey had fallen asleep on the couch, still

clutching his phone

Bonnie sighed, walked over, and took his phone from his hand.

His text conversation with Nigel was left open on the screen.

(Nigel, no matter what happens, I will find a way to make Bonnie get back together with Mr. Jim.

[I don’t think I’ll ever be happy again unless she becomes my new Mommy.)

Tears slid down Bonnie’s cheeks as she read these words.

She lowered her head to stare at Harvey, sleeping soundly on the sofa, and suddenly felt as though

someone had stabbed her in the heart.

After a long time, she finally let out an exhale, placed Harvey’s phone aside, and gently laid a blanket

over him.

Then, she turned to glance out the phone.

At this moment, Sean was sitting on a stone bench in the garden, talking on the phone.

She could faintly hear the gentle sound of his voice as he talked to the person on the other end of the

line.

When she saw this, Bonnie could not help feeling a little lonely.

It seemed that…everyone had someone to love and love them back.

However, she had no one except Harvey and Shelly, who were not even blood-related to her.

Not only that, but Bonnie could not imagine any man treating her as kindly as Sean had.

In a split second, loneliness and solidarity enveloped her entire being.

She let out a sigh and turned around. After picking up her jacket, she let herself out of the back | door

and followed the path out of Landry Mansion’s backyard.

The sounds of the leaves rustling and the crickets chirping soothed her.

After a while, she found herself standing in front of a burnt, abandoned cave.

Staring at the entrance to the cave, Bonnie could not help feeling despaired as she gazed into its Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

depths.

This must have been the place that Luna had been tricked into bringing Charlotte to, where she stole

the drugs that had put Jim under her control.

At one point, this place could have housed the antidote to Jim’s poison, but at this moment, there was

nothing.

“What are you doing here?” a male’s voice rang out from behind her and interrupted her thoughts out of

the blue.

Bonnie froze, then turned around.

Jim was standing behind her, his expression dark

He was wearing a pair of gray pajamas underneath his coat, as though he had also come out for a walk

on a sleepless night.

Bonnie could not help feeling a little sad when she caught sight of the corner of his pajamas peeking

out from underneath his coat.

The pajamas that he was wearing…were a gift from her.

To be specific, she had made it for him.

About six months ago, she had heard an old wives’ tale about how to keep a man by her side, one

should make him a set of clothes with her bare hands.

Because of this, Bonnie had started learning how to tailor and make clothes from scratch.

However, she had no talent in this at all, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not make him a

nice, proper-looking suit.

In the end, Luna was the one who had suggested that she make Jim a set of pajamas instead, after

watching her try and fail many times.

After all, this would not only hold to the old wives’ tale, but Jim would not be embarrassed either.

Bonnie thought this was an excellent idea, so she proceeded to pick out the perfect cloth and made

him these gray pajamas.

She still remembered the look on his face when he had received this. His face had been etched with

slight disgust, and he said he did not like wearing clothes with haphazard stitching like

this.

However, every time she video called him after that, he would always be wearing the same pajamas

At that time, Bonnie thought she had managed to catch his heart and keep him by her side, but it

turned out…
