CHAPTER 1963

“Since you‘ve gotten rid of the baby, I guess we have no business being here anymore.”

As he said this, Christopher glanced at Jim, who had been sitting next to him. “Let‘s go, Jim.”

Jim narrowed his eyes. “So soon? Aren‘t we going to bring Bonnie with us?”

Christopher curled his lips into a smile. “There‘s no need for that anymore.”

With that, he glanced at Bonnie with a somewhat reassured look. “Since she’s already gotten rid of our

child, I don‘t think there’s a need for me to take care of her anymore.”

Jim furrowed his brows and stared at Christopher in puzzlement.

The child that Bonnie had aborted was Christopher‘s child, but why did he not seem upset at all and

relieved instead?

When Christopher had brought up Bonnie on the phone the night before, he had teared up and claimed

that he would stop at nothing to bring Bonnie home with him, where he would be able to take care of

her.

He even seemed thrilled to be a father, but at this moment…

Jim furrowed his brows and glanced first at Christopher, then at Bonnie. He could not help feeling a

little confused about this.

He could understand why Christopher had been so anxious to see the proof of Bonnie‘s surgery. After

all, abortion was such a sensitive topic that one should not joke about it.

If Bonnie had lied to Christopher about getting an abortion when in reality she had not, then they would

have trouble fighting for the baby‘s custody in the future.

However, to his surprise, Christopher seemed delighted to know that Bonnie had gone through with the

abortion.

Jim narrowed his eyes. “Who does this baby truly belong to?”

For some reason, Jim suddenly wanted to know the truth about this baby.

He did not understand why he was suddenly compelled to find out about this.

It was as though…he had said this out of intention of getting to know Bonnie better.

Everyone in the room was shocked to hear this, even Jim himself.

After all, this was a man who had nothing to do with Bonnie and had even rejected her on a couple of

occasions. Therefore, there was no reason for him to want to know anything about her, even the

identity of the father of her child.

However, not only had the question blurted out of his mouth, but he was genuinely curious to

hear the answer

Bonnie curled her lips into a smirk and glanced coldly at Jim. “What are you asking this for, Master

Landry?

“You didn‘t believe me when I said the child was yours, and now that I’ve aborted it, you’re suddenly

interested in knowing who the father is. Don‘t you think you‘re a little hypocritical?”

There was no hint of emotion in Bonnie‘s voice at all.

Christopher, too, quickly piped up, “Why are you asking this, Jim?

“I‘ve already said the baby belongs to me; don‘t you believe me?”

Jim furrowed his brows. “No, it‘s not that I don‘t believe you; I just that it‘s strange how you‘re not at all

upset about the baby having been aborted. This isn‘t like you.

“Even if you never wanted the baby in the first place, you would have at least condemned Bonnie for

undergoing an abortion without your knowledge, wouldn‘t you?

“But not only weren‘t you upset, but you seemed even happier than Bonnie is. In fact, she seems to be

the one that‘s mourning the baby‘s passing.

“Last night, you claimed that you love Bonnie and the child in her belly and that you‘d stop at nothing to

bring her home with you, but I find it hard to believe this after seeing everything you did today.”

With that, he stared at Christopher and said coldly, “There‘s nothing I hate more in this world than being

deceived, Christopher; you should know that. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Especially by someone I trust and cherish.”

Bonnie could not help bursting into laughter when she heard this.

She laughed so hard that tears formed in her eyes. “There‘s nothing you hate more than being

deceived by someone you trust, you say? “That‘s the exact predicament you‘re in right now, Jim.
