Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1954
The next morning, Bonnie woke up at daybreak,
She had been having nightmares all night.
At first, the dream started with Christopher breaking all of her fingers, one at a time,
After that, she dreamt that she had suffered a miscarriage, and Jim and Christopher were standing in front of her, laughing at her as she lay in a puddle of her blood.
Christopher had told her that she was a stupid woman who refused to listen to his advice, whereas Jim sneered at her and said he would never fall in love with her.
When Bonnie jolted awake from her nightmare, her pillow was stained with tears.
She got up from the bed and went into the bathroom, where she stared at her haggard self in the mirror.
A few days ago, her heart had been full of hope and joy when she left Banyan City to find Jim.
Before she left, Harvey had even reminded her not to show her happiness so outwardly and get carried away.
“Aunty Bonnie, everyone can tell you‘re excited, and my Daddy will tease you when he sees how happy you are to see him.”
At that time, she had patted Harvey‘s head gently and retorted, “He wouldn‘t dare to tease me! He‘ll be even happier than I am to see me, so how can he possibly laugh at me for this?”
Every word she had said to Harvey echoed in her mind.
Alas…
Bonnie closed her eyes and let out a bitter chuckle.
Harvey was right. She had gotten carried away, so much so that she had forgotten how much she truly mattered to Jim.
This was why she had ended up like this.
The woman in the reflection was skinnier compared to a few days ago.
Her face and lips were pale and colorless, and she had lost the glimmer in her eyes, which were lined with rings of dark eye bags.
Who would have thought this haggard–looking woman was Bonnie Craig, one of the wealthiest and most powerful female CEOs in Banyan City?
Bonnie let out an exhale and washed her face. After freshening up, she placed a hot towel over her eyes in an attempt to get rid of her dark undereye circles.
She did not want anyone to see how dreadful she looked.
She did not want anyone to know that she had spent the entire night tossing and turning, unable to sleep
A few minutes later, Bonnie‘s phone rang. It was the ringtone that she had customized for Harvey’s calls.
A surge of dread seeped into Bonnie‘s heart when she heard the familiar chime, and she could not help letting out a bitter chuckle.
In the past, she would pick up the phone immediately as soon as she heard Harvey calling before she blabbered to him about everything that happened in her life.
Luna had even pointed out that the way Bonnie interacted with Harvey was not unlike how she interacted with her own three children.
Every time she said this, Bonnie would snicker and reply triumphantly, ‘This proves that Harvey and I are meant to be mother–and–son!”
At this point, however, there was nothing but dread and sorrow when she heard the same ringtone.
She did not dare to face Harvey at all. She feared she would not be able to stop herself from crying.
She did not want Harvey to worry about her.
After ringing non–stop for a few minutes, the call ended.
Bonnie let out an exhale, but before she could even relax, the phone started ringing again.
She did not pick up the second time either.
However, soon, someone knocked on her door, accompanied by Sean‘s voice. “Ms. Bonnie, are you awake? Is your phone ringing? Wake up.”
When he heard no sound coming from inside the room, Sean could not help getting a little anxious. “Did you pass out? I’ll get someone to kick this door down right away!”
Bonnie rubbed her brows in frustration upon hearing this. No matter how reluctant she was to answer him, she still called out loudly, “I‘m fine.”
