CHAPTER 1897

The color drained from Bonnie’s face when she heard Luna’s words.

She bit her lip and lowered her head to stare at her finger, unsure of what to do.

Bonnie knew that Joshua’s arrangement was the best for both her and her baby. Even she, too. had to

agree that Joshua’s plan was the best option she had at the moment.

To return to Banyan City, where Jude would be able to help her take care of Craig Group as she got the

rest she needed and waited for the child to be born…

This was the best option she had to ensure that in eight months, the baby would be born smoothly.

No matter how powerful Charlotte and Jim were, they would not be able to follow her to Banyan City.

However, Luna’s words were like a rude awakening.

If she left Merchant City for eight months…

Would Jim still be able to remember her after so long?

Bonnie was unsure of the answer, and she was afraid to take the risk.

She did not want to lose Jim; she did not want him to forget her.

Seeing that Bonnie was hesitating, Joshua did not want to force her into a decision. “I know that it

might be a very difficult choice to make now, but if you agree with Luna, and you’re worried that if you

left Merchant City, Jim will never be able to remember you again.

“You can choose to stay here. I have no issues with that.”

Joshua placed the folder he had been holding onto the coffee table and turned to glance at Luna. “I’ve

already talked to Roanne on the phone, and these are the possible situations that might arise, along

with their relevant solutions, during your meeting with Charlotte later.

“Almost every possible situation that can go wrong is included here, so please read through it before

you depart.”

Luna pursed her lips and turned to glance at Bonnie. Then, she walked over, sat down next to Joshua,

and started flipping through the pages.

Bonnie remained motionless, pain spreading through her heart as she watched Luna and Joshua

together.

She turned around and went out into the garden.

There was Theo, sitting in front of an easel in the garden, engrossed in his painting.

He was still trying to paint a portrait of a woman in white, but just as Luna had said…

This did not look like Roanne at all and, instead, more like someone else.

Bonnie narrowed her eyes and suddenly realized that this woman Theo was trying to paint resembled

Dr. Rachel rather than Roanne.

She strode toward Theo. “Are you trying to draw Dr. Liddell?”

Theo’s hand, which was holding the paintbrush, froze in mid-air.

A split second later, he turned and smiled at her. ‘I’m trying to draw Roanne.”

With that, he put down his brush and handed a photo of Roanne to Bonnie with a somewhat helpless

look. “Is it really that bad?”

Bonnie glanced first at the photo, then at Theo’s painting. “I can’t even see a single similarity between

this painting and the person in the photo.”

Theo felt defeated when he heard this.

He knew fully well that the only reason Roanne had agreed to work with Joshua was him. content rights.

He, too, knew of her intentions for asking him to paint a portrait of her.

Theo was a talented artist, and this was not the first time he had come across a woman trying t o get

closer to him.

Every woman that tried to approach him would ask him to draw a portrait of them, but he never agreed.

The only reason he had agreed to do this for Roanne was to get her to help Joshua and Luna.

However, he never thought that…after more than a year of abandoning his paintbrush and easel, he

had lost the ability to even draw a lifelike portrait.

“Do you like Dr. Liddell?” Bonnie dragged a chair next to him, sat down, and stared at the woman in the

painting with her chin propped in her hand.
