Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2138
If she remembered correctly, the name list that Paul Duncan posessed…was the name list of all the children who had been under his care at the orphanage!
Previously, while trying to piece together Roanne and Charlotte’s true identities, Bonnie had sought out a former worker of the orphanage for help.
However, the worker told her that since everything had happened such a long time ago, no one knew the names of the children at the orphanage, nor where each of them had ended up.
Nonetheless, the owner of the orphanage, Mr. Duncan, had a name list that recorded the names of all the children and their whereabouts after leaving the orphanage.
Because of this, Bonnie had intended to track down Mr. Duncan to retrieve the name list from him, but…
He had left Merchant City a long time ago, and no one knew where he had gone nor when he would return.
Bonnie had no choice but to give up on her plan.
However, she did not expect that Mr. Duncan would return to Merchant City all of a sudden and that Jim would be able to track him down and retrieve the name list from him just in time. If her guesses were correct, Jim was trying to get his hands on the name list to learn the whereabouts of all the children at the orphanage.

As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie suddenly remembered the call Jim had received moments before he left her alone in the car.
The first thing he had inquired after picking up the call was Number-9’s whereabouts.
This meant that…he had left her in the car because he had been preoccupied with finding Number-9.
A wave of emotions surged through Bonnie’s mind at the thought of this. Jim was probably trying to track Number-9 so that he could fulfill his promise to her, right? He did not know that Number-9 had been sitting next to him all along and even almost died in his car!
Besides…
If he had successfully retrieved the name list from Mr. Duncan just in time, would he not have learned her true identity at this point?
Had he found out the truth?
Would his attitude toward her change if he learned what had happened? Perhaps he already knew the truth, but his love for Number-9 was not enough to make him take Bonnie back.
“What’s wrong?” Luna quickly strode over to Bonnie’s side AX?FD${K reached out to hold her hand as soon as she saw the expression on her face. “Are you still unwell? Do you need me to call a doctor?”
Bonnie shook her head. “No, thanks.” She sniffed and lifted her head to glance at Luna. “I want to pack my bags and go back to Tea Cottage tonight.” Luna furrowed her brows upon hearing this. “For what?”
She glanced at Bonnie’s pale face and continued, “You’re still extremely weak now, and Tea Cottage is so far away from the rest of the city. Besides, you don’t have anyone to take care of you…
“I don’t think you should move back to Tea Cottage. I think it’s best if you continue staying with Joshua and me so I can look after you.”
Bonnie waved her hand in refusal. “I can’t possibly impede on your lives anymore. Besides…” She let out a sigh. “Joshua employed Sean as his new driver, and if I continue staying there, we’ll continue to see each other all the time. I…”
She paused for a moment before finally saying, “I want to keep my distance from Sean.” Luna frowned. “You and Sean…” Bonnie sighed and explained everything that had happened between her and Sean to Luna. Luna fell silent for a long time before finally agreeing to Bonnie’s request. “I’ll ask Joshua to send some of his men to keep an eye on you.” Bonnie refused again. “There’s no need for that. All of Joshua’s men were specially picked out by Lucas from among the best, so I don’t think I should waste all that manpower on myself. I’m fully capable of employing my own bodyguards.” Luna rolled her eyes and ignored her entirely. Instead, she took out her phone and dialed Joshua’s number.
