Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1953
“Still, Jim, we have to do something before we get married…”
She narrowed her eyes. “Harvey and Shelly are both still in Banyan City.
“Harvey’s your son, and Shelly is your daughter…so we have to bring them here to witness our wedding.”
A surge of warmth spread through Jim‘s heart when he heard this, but it was accompanied by puzzlement. “I have a daughter?”
Why did he have no recollection of that?
The only thing he remembered was that he had a son named Harvey, but his memories of Harvey were ones of six years ago.
Six years ago, when Jim was on a business trip in Banyan City, he had stumbled into the wrong room after getting drunk and accidentally slept with a mute woman.
After ten months, the woman gave birth to his son and handed the child over to Ms. Jennifer, a woman in Banyan City who sheltered orphans.
When Jim heard the news about this, he and Christopher flew over immediately. Besides bringing Harvey home, Christopher had grown fond of a girl who was friends with Harvey and brought her home with them to raise as his daughter.
Because of this, Jim had brought Harvey home, and Christopher had adopted June.
These two men, who had absolutely zero experience in rearing children, had gone through hell ever since they brought these two babies home, attempting to raise their children as single fathers.
The only memories Jim had of Harvey were these, and as for the girl named Shelly that Charlotte had mentioned…
He had no memory of her at all.
Seeing that Jim did not remember Shelly, Charlotte curled her lips into a smirk and narrowed her eyes slightly. Then, she said in a gentle voice, “Shelly‘s your daughter, and she‘s only two months old. She and Harvey were brought to Banyan City together by Christopher.”
Charlotte had deliberately left out the fact that Bonnie had been the one to raise Shelly and instead continued, “You know by now that Harvey and June are inseparable, and since Christopher brought June with him to live with Bonnie in Banyan City, naturally, Harvey followed as well.
“Not only that, but after what happened to your family, you were so busy dealing with Luna and Joshua every day that you didn‘t have the time to take care of Shelly, so you sent her over
for Christopher to look after her.”
Jim had absolutely no recollection of this incident at all, but he believed Charlotte’s every word
On the one hand, Christopher was his best friend and a doctor who single-handedly raised his own daughter, so naturally, he would want him to help take care of Shelly.
Not only that…but for some reason, Jim had an innate instinct to believe every word that Charlotte said.
Every word that came out of her mouth would be ingrained in his mind so deeply that he could not even forget it if he wanted to.
Maybe this was what true love looked like.
This was Jim‘s only explanation for this.
However…
He furrowed his brows and glanced at Charlotte. “Since Shelly is only two months old… Who is her mother?”
Since this daughter had been conceived during the time that he had lost his memory, he could not even recall the child itself, much less the mother.
Charlotte swiveled her eyes around, trying to think.
A split second later, she curled her lips into a smile and gently patted Jim‘s face teasingly. “It‘s me, of course. Who else would you want to have a child with besides me?
“You already made this mistake six years ago, so how can you possibly commit the same one again?”
Jim let out a sigh of relief when he heard this. “That‘s great to hear.“
He was genuinely worried that he had accidentally slept with someone like Bonnie during his amnestic period.
Seeing that he had believed her, Charlotte turned her head away as a glimmer of malice flashed through her eyes.
Since these two children – Harvey and Shelly-would die anyway, no one would notice if she told a little white lie, would they?
