Chapter 1859
Jim furrowed his brows when he heard this familiar voice. “Are you Bonnie?”
“I am, and you are…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Bonnie lowered her voice and asked, “Are you Jim?”
“Yes, it’s me.” Jim lowered his head to glance at the time.
It was 8 a.m.
According to what he knew of Christopher, he was a night owl and would not be awake yet at this hour.
However, at a time like this, Bonnie had answered his phone, which meant that…they had spent the night together.
As soon as he thought of this, Jim’s breath caught in his throat.
A split second later, he changed his mind.
Since Bonnie was Christopher’s girlfriend, it would not be strange for them to spend the night together.
“What are you doing, calling Christopher so early in the morning?” Bonnie frowned when she noticed that
Jim did not say anything else, and she turned to glance at Christopher, who was still sleeping on the couch. “Christopher isn’t awake yet, so I’ll ask him to call you back as soon as he wakes up.”
With that, she was just about to hang up when Jim stopped her, frowning. “I have something to say to you.
Jim’s low voice made Bonnie scrunch up her brows in puzzlement.
She glanced again at Christopher, strode out of the room, and walked to the garden. “Go on.”
Bonnie was a little confused at this point.
Even though she knew that the reason Jim had acted the way he did toward her was that he had lost his memories and was under someone else’s control, it was still a hard pill to swallow.
She had always thought that she meant so much to him that he would never forget her, but reality had slapped her harshly across her face.
Jim could not remember even a single detail about her anymore.
However, he still remembered Christopher and even voluntarily called him.
“Bonnie.” Jim let out a sigh before continuing, “I apologize for treating you the way I did yesterday. I may have acted too coldly and too harshly toward you, but after finding out about you and Christopher, I suddenly don’t think I was entirely in the wrong anymore.”
Bonnie frowned when she heard this.
What did he mean, her and Christopher?
Did he think that she and Christopher were an item?
“Since you and Christopher are in love, you should cherish him the way he deserves to be,” Jim advised her, totally unaware of the stunned expression on Bonnie’s face at the moment. “Christopher is a good person, and I hope you can treasure him and treat him well.
“He and I grew up together, and I’m sure you already know about this.
“I sincerely hope that the reason you’re together with him now is that you like him as a person and not because he’s my friend, and you’re trying to approach me through him.
“I hope that what happened yesterday will never happen again.
“If in the future, you try to-trick me by pretending to be my girlfriend again, I’ll take action against you and stop Christopher from being deceived by you again.”
As soon as he finished his sentence, Jim hung up the phone without even giving Bonnie a chance to explain.
Bonnie froze for a few minutes, listening to the dial tone.
She never thought that Jim would think she was Christopher’s girlfriend and even warned her to stay away from him to not betray his best friend’s trust.
He warned her not to pretend to be his girlfriend again in the future.
However…the person pretending to be his girlfriend was not Bonnie at all!
Bonnie could not believe that Jim was accusing her of being a fraud when in fact, the person lying next to him in bed at night was the biggest fraud of all!
What a joke.
All of a sudden, someone pushed open the door behind her.
Christopher stepped out of the house and ambled over to Bonnie’s side. “Why did you come out here?”
Then, his gaze landed on her belly, and he asked, “Doesn’t it hurt?”. As soon as he said this, Bonnie was suddenly made aware of the painful sensation in her abdomen.
