Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1952
Jim furrowed his brows and gripped his phone tighter when he heard the pleading tone in Christopher’s voice.
“Jim?” Seeing that Jim did not respond for a long time, Christopher furrowed his brows and asked tentatively, “Are you… are you unwilling to help me? Or …are you unwilling to help me because you like Bonnie too…”
“Christopher,” Jim let out an exhale and interrupted Christopher curtly. “I don‘t like Bonnie. You know fully well that the person I’ve always loved is Charlotte. I just…”
He fell silent for a moment before finally saying, “I just have other plans for tomorrow morning
“Don’t worry, I’ll go to Swan Lake Chalet to pick you up tomorrow morning, and we’ll head to Joshua’s place tomorrow.”
Even though he was reluctant, Jim still gave in to Christopher‘s request in the end.
Since Christopher had already made this request, Jim was worried that he would get upset if he rejected him.
Besides, Joshua and Luna were two of the most deceitful crooks he knew, and it would be difficult for Christopher to bring Bonnie away from them on his own. Therefore, he had to accompany Christopher to ensure they did not take advantage of him.
Christopher grew overjoyed when he heard Jim‘s agreement. “Alright! I knew you would help me, Jim. Even if the whole world is against me, you‘ll still stand by my side, won‘t you, Jim?”
Jim furrowed his brows, suddenly noticing that Christopher seemed a little different than usual.
However, he still curled his lips into a smirk and replied, “Yes.”
“Thank you, Jim. I‘m glad to hear that.”
With that, Christopher smiled and hung up the phone.
Jim put down the phone and reached up to rub his temples in frustration.
For some reason, he could not help feeling that something was wrong with Christopher…
“Jim.” All of a sudden, someone pushed open the door.
Charlotte walked into the room, smiling as she held a cup of freshly-brewed coffee in her hand. “Have you finished your call?”
Jim nodded, closed his eyes in exhaustion, and could not help saying, “Christopher seems a little different than usual.”
“How so?” Charlotte curled her lips into a smile, gently wrapped her arms around Jim’s neck from behind, and laid her head against his shoulder. “Jim, I’ve been doing some thinking, and I don‘t think you and I should do this any longer…
“What happened with Bonnie today made me realize that…”
She turned to stare at Jim‘s chiseled face. “I want to get married as soon as possible.
“The sooner I become your lawfully-wedded wife, the more reassured I will feel. Otherwise…”
She bit her lip and continued in a sad tone, “You‘re so successful that more and more women will fall for you, and I don‘t feel secure knowing that.”
Jim curled his lips into a smile when he heard the coy tone of Charlotte’s voice. He reached out to grab hold of Charlotte‘s hand and said, “Alright. We’ll do as you say.
“After all, I‘ve decided that I want to marry you from a young age, so it doesn’t matter to me whether we do it early or later.”
If marrying Charlotte sooner would make her feel reassured about his love and, at the same time, force Bonnie to stop pestering him, Jim would be more than willing to go through with this.
Seeing that Jim had agreed, a glimmer of triumph flashed through Charlotte‘s eyes. She continued laying against his shoulder, smiling.
