Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2026
After leaving the house, Jim returned to Landry Mansion.
He did not go into his study to work but instead went into his room and slumped on the bed in exhaustion.
For some reason, every time he was about to take things further with Charlotte, he would pause and suddenly remember Bonnie’s face.
It was as though there was a voice in his head telling him not to betray her.
Jim was puzzled by this. Why was he feeling guilt toward Bonnie for being together with Charlotte?
He tossed and turned on the bed but could not seem to fall asleep.
All of a sudden, he heard the voices of children shrieking in laughter.
Jim furrowed his brows and immediately opened the balcony door in search of the noise.
He found it at last.
The voices came from the direction of the house Bonnie was staying in next to his.
At that moment, the morning sun was warm and bright, and Bonnie was sitting in the yard, rocking a stroller while Harvey and June played in the garden.
Sean stood straight-backed behind her, and occasionally, Bonnie would turn around to chat with him.
However, most of the time, she was beaming at Shelly or watching Harvey and June play with a smile.
Jim could not help frowning when he saw this.
He could not help feeling a little uneasy as he watched Bonnie’s smiling face.
This was the happiest he had ever seen her, but for some reason, the happier she looked, the more upset it made him.
Did this woman not claim that she loved him? If so, why had she never smiled at him that way before?
Jim narrowed his eyes as he continued watching her.
Did she somehow know that he was not at work today, so she had deliberately brought
the kids out to the garden to play and make so much noise so that he would overhear?
Jim’s expression darkened when he thought of this.
He narrowed his eyes as doubt crossed his mind.
This sly, deceitful woman had been constantly trying to break him and Charlotte up, but why did he always recall her face every time he was about to get intimate with Charlotte?
It was bizarre.
Jim could not help wondering if Bonnie had somehow poisoned him.
Just as he was staring at her, Bonnie, who had been chatting with Sean, suddenly turned around and caught sight of him standing on the balcony.
Their gazes met.
One cold as ice, and one etched with shock.
Bonnie’s smile froze on her face.
A split second later, she sniffed and tore her gaze away. Then, she whispered something to Sean and Harvey before turning around and wheeling the stroller back into the house.
Bonnie’s disappearance made Harvey fall silent for a moment.
Finally, he lifted his head to shoot Jim a murderous glare, grabbed hold of June’s hand, and led her back into the house.
The only person left in the garden was Sean, standing as straight as a lamp post.
Jim furrowed his brows as he stared at the empty yard.
After a long time, he returned to his room and walked to his study. He sat in his chair, let out an exhale, and called his assistant in.
Soon, his assistant arrived.
“Help me bring these samples to a DNA Diagnostic Center for a cross-match.” Jim placed a bag, containing a few strands of hair, on the table with an air of exhaustion. The assistant nodded.
