Chapter 2002 Charlotte’s entire body stiffened when she heard Jim’s words.
All of a sudden, she recalled that previously, when she was trying to convince Jim to bring Shelly and Harvey over to
Merchant City, she had lied to him about Shelly being her daughter.
At that time, all she thought was that since Shelly and Harvey would die in the explosion on their flight to Merchant
City, as long as she feigned sorrow and devastation, she would be able to hold up to her lies.
None of that went according to plan!
Charlotte never thought that Joshua and Luna’s wretched son would join them on their journey here, and not only
had he managed to find all the hidden bombs, but he had also even switched out all the flight attendants and crew
without her knowing!
Charlotte’s plans had been utterly ruined.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBecause of this, she had spent her entire day drowned in disappointment and anger, so much so that she had
forgotten about what she had lied to Jim in the past.
Jim had so suddenly brought it up at this moment, and only then did she recall that she was supposed to be a
sobbing mother, devastated about her separation from her child!
A glimmer of nervousness flashed through her eyes, but a split second later, she calmed down and said, “Even
though Shelly is indeed my daughter, but…”
She let out a sigh as tears started to brim in her eyes. “But as soon as she was born, you had taken her away from
me and passed her over to Christopher to take care of because she was always sick
“After that, Christopher brought the children with him when he went to Banyan City to find Bonnie…”
The more she said this, the more choked her voice became, “Because of this, even though Shelly is my daughter,
I’ve never taken care of her even for a day.
“Now, the child has become so attached to Bonnie that it’s as though she’s her mother instead. On top of that…”
Charlotte sobbed, “Sometimes I even wonder if Shelly is my daughter or Bonnie’s…”
With that, she slumped helplessly in Jim’s arms and whimpered, “Jim, trust me when I say I want nothing more than
to be close to my child again, but…I never got the chance.”
Watching Charlotte cry, Jim suddenly felt a twinge of pain shoot through his heart. He
immediately reached out to wipe Charlotte’s tears away. “Don’t worry; I promise you that as soon as the children
warm up to me, I’ll try to create opportunities for you and Shelly to bond.
“After all, she’s still young and can’t remember anything yet, so you still have time to rekindle your bond with her.”
“Okay.” Charlotte nodded with tears in her eyes. “Jim, you’re the best!”
Jim let out a sigh and pulled her into his arms. “Of course. After what you did for me at the orphanage, I will do
anything to make you happy.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCharlotte narrowed her eyes at the mention of the orphanage, and a glimmer of displeasure flashed through her
eyes.
However, she still suppressed her emotions and smiled as she wrapped her arms around Jim’s waist. “I can’t
believe you still remember that.”
“Of course I do.” Jim chuckled, and after informing the driver of their destination, he continued impassively, “Maybe
it’s because I lost all my short-term memories, so it made all the long-term memories in my head even more vivid. I
even remember the red birthmark on your left shoulder.”
With that, he reached out and tried to pull down Charlotte’s collar. “At that time, you were so self-conscious about it
and kept worrying whether the birthmark will grow bigger as time passes. How big has it gotten now?”
Charlotte widened her eyes in shock upon hearing this.
She immediately held down her shirt and shrieked, “Don’t look at it!”
The terror in her tone made Jim’s arm freeze in mid-air. He furrowed his brows and stared at Charlotte in
puzzlement. “What’s wrong?”
Charlotte froze for a moment, then turned her head away and let out a small cough. “We’re still in the car, and we
have a driver with us…”
