Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 765
“Um…“ Shannon felt a little puzzled after hearing Bonnie’s explanation. “Bonnie, since there won’t be a groom anymore, why do you feel the need to host this engagement party?
“I know it’ll be a waste to cancel everything, but if you proceed with it…people will laugh at you, won’t they?“
Everyone fell silent as soon as they heard Shannon’s words, while Bonnie turned around and glanced at her, still smiling. “I know what you mean, but…“
She sighed and said, “I’m not doing so well now, and I was hoping that hosting this party would lift my spirits. As for what other people think… “ She lifted her head and let out a bitter smile. “Don’t you think I’m already humiliated enough?“
The entire office fell into silence once again.
Luna let out a sigh. She knew that Bonnie was right.
Bonnie and Jason’s engagement was so high-profile that even though Jason was arrested, their broken engagement still garnered a lot of media attention. Naturally, everyone in Banyan City had found out about what happened between the two of them.
Therefore, it did not matter whether Bonnie proceeded with the party or not —she was already Banyan City’s laughingstock.
Despite that, Luna still agreed with her. Instead of trying to cover up her shame, Luna thought Bonnie
should go ahead and throw the engagement party as planned, as a form of farewell to her past.
As soon as she thought of this, Luna lifted her head to glance at Bonnie. “When is the party?“
“Tonight.“ Bonnie lowered her head to check the time. “We still have four hours. It’s just enough time for you to get a dress and have your makeup done. “
Luna nodded, putting down her pencil as she stood up. “Alright then.“ She glanced at both Shannon and Zayne. “Let’s call it a day.“
As soon as she said this, Shannon snickered, glancing at Bonnie. “Can I come to your party, too? “
Bonnie smiled, then handed her and Zayne an invitation each. “Of course you can. Although I didn’t invite many people, it’s still an extravagant party.“ With that, she approached Luna and grabbed hold of her hand. “Let’s go.“
Luna nodded, then followed Bonnie out of the office as she texted Lily to take care of Nigel and Nellie.
Meanwhile, at Orchard Manor.
Joshua had spent the entire afternoon helping Fiona find a new servant that she liked. Finally, he managed to find one that she seemed to get along with.
“Dr. Rowena said that she still needs to take care of some stuff for Nigel, so she can’t come over until tomorrow.“
“Alright. Thank you, Joshua.“ Fiona sat on the sofa, her dainty face etched with guilt. “I’m sorry that I made Ms. Luna misunderstand you again… The
reason I asked Dr. Rowena to take care of me is that I thought…my health is a bigger priority than Nigel’s now. Since he’s going to be receiving my bone marrow, we can’t afford to let anything bad happen Joshua furrowed his brows slightly, then patted her shoulder in reassurance. “I understand.“
To him, nothing was more important than Nigel’s health.
It did not matter who Dr. Rowena took care of, since Fiona’s bone marrow would be transplanted into Nigel’s body anyway.
Besides, Joshua had already assigned a new, more experienced doctor for Nigel. This doctor was Dr. Rowena’s mentor, so he had even more expertise in
the field of hematology than Dr. Rowena.
Suddenly, Joshua’s phone rang. It was a call from Jude.
“You’ll have to come with me to Starhill Hotel tonight. Bonnie wants to proceed with her engagement party tonight, and she even plans to…“
Joshua’s brows furrowed when he heard what Jude had said. “What is she thinking?“
“I don’t know, and I don’t approve of it either.
Moreover, I ‘m worried it might affect you and Luna “ Jude’s voice sounded a little exhausted through the phone. “I didn’t even know about this until my father called me just now. Since the Smiths and the Craigs are distant relatives, the properties that Bonnie owns are also connected to ours…“
