Chapter 1862
Charlotte narrowed her eyes and quickly grabbed Jim’s hand. “Don’t you agree, Jim?”
Jim finally snapped out of his daze and shifted his gaze away from Bonnie and Christopher. “I’m happy that Christopher finally met someone he likes, but I don’t think…this woman is right for him.”
He and Christopher had grown up together.
When he first met Number-9 at the orphanage, Christopher was immersed in his research of alternative medicine.
After he had grown up and brought Number-9 home from the orphanage, Christopher was still immersed i In his research of alternative medicine.
Six years ago, when Charlotte was tricked by Heather and was forced to leave Merchant City, Christopher was still engrossed in his research.
All of a sudden, the young Christopher, who had been absorbed in his love for medicine for all these years, had finally fallen in love with a woman.
Jim should have been happy for him.
However, his first impression of Bonnie was their encounter a day before, when she had tricked him into coming to Tea Cottage and pestered him, intending to trick him into thinking she was his girlfriend.
Charlotte swiveled her eyes and leaned her head on Jim’s shoulder. “Why do you think so? I think that Bonnie is perfect for him. Besides…”
She pointed at the two people outside the window and added, “Look at her. She keeps on clutching her abdomen like that…
“Do you think she might be pregnant?”
Jim furrowed his brows.
From the moment he caught sight of them, he had already noticed Bonnie’s hand on her abdomen, whereas Christopher was holding onto her carefully.
He had thought she had gotten hurt, but…
When he saw her the day before, she had been perfectly fine. Not only was she able to hug him, but she had even chased after him, pretending to be in love with him.
However, just a day had passed, and she was clutching her belly and looked weak and sickly.
“She must be pregnant, right?” Charlotte let out a sigh and rested her head on Jim’s shoulder to stare at his handsome face. “Maybe we should get out of the car to congratulate them.”
Jim sneered and glanced at Bonnie and Christopher through the rearview mirror. “This woman is deceitful and cunning, and we don’t even know if she’s truly pregnant, so why should we congratulate her?”
Besides, even if she were truly pregnant, she did not even have a belly yet, so why was she holding her abdomen like that?
What a fraud.
As soon as he thought of this, Jim shifted his gaze away from them, put his arm around Charlotte, and stared at the direction in front of him as he leaned against the seat. “Didn’t you say that you have friends working in the hospital?
“Ask your friend to help investigate if that Bonnie Craig is really pregnant or if she’s just faking it.
“Even though Christopher is a doctor, even the smartest people get blinded by love.”
Charlotte was delighted to hear this. She bit her lip and gently grabbed hold of Jim’s arm. “Jim. you and Christopher are best friends, and now that his girlfriend Bonnie is pregnant…
“When… When do you think we should have a child of our own as a token of our love?”
She chewed her lip bashfully, her face blushing scarlet as she said in a gentle voice, “I want to have two kids with you.”
Jim narrowed his eyes slightly at the mention of kids. “But we already have Harvey.”
The entire car fell silent at this.
Charlotte stared dazedly at Jim and asked, her voice unstable, “You… You remember Harvey?”
She thought she had already erased this part of Jim’s memory, so why did he…still remember Harvey?
“He’s my son; of course I remember him.” Jim glanced at her, frowning. “What’s wrong?” Charlotte lowered her head so as not to let him notice her flustered gaze. “No-nothing…”
