Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2023
A twinge of pain shot through Jim’s heart as he thought of this.
If…
If Charlotte had indeed tried to kill Harvey and Shelly… ‘
He could not imagine what would have happened if Nigel had not gotten on the plane with them. If Nigel had not
been there, would he still be driving to his and Charlotte’s new house at this moment, free of sorrow and grief?
Just as Jim was immersed in his thoughts, his phone rang.
It was Charlotte.
“Where are you, Jim?” she greeted in a sugary voice. “I’ve been awake for more than ten minutes now, so I’m not

“If you haven’t left the house yet, you don’t have to come anymore, but if you’re on your way, let me know so I can
make you breakfast, okay?”
Charlotte’s voice was as sweet and gentle as usual.
Jim narrowed his eyes.
He could not resist Charlotte’s voice at all. It was as though there was something in his head telling him that he had
to love and trust her, but…
He could not possibly ignore the truth with such concrete evidence laid out before him.
All of a sudden, he recalled what Luna had said.
If he brought Charlotte to get a checkup, he would be able to know if she had indeed been pregnant or given birth
in the past.
As soon as he thought of this, Jim bit his lip and said, “Charlotte, I’m on my way to your place.
“I went to see Shelly this morning, and she’s adorable.”
Charlotte’s expression darkened at the mention of Shelly’s name. She scoffed and said icily, “Well, it’s undeniable
that she’s cute, but unfortunately, she had spent so much time with Bonnie that she likes her more now…”
She let out a sigh‘and added, “If only there’s a way for us to get custody over her…
“I hear that in a custody lawsuit, the judge is more likely to rule in favor of a couple that can provide a good home
instead of a single parent.
“Jim, should we get married as soon as possible so that we can earn custody over Shelly
Jim narrowed his eyes when he heard this. “But there’s one thing you haven’t thought of, Charlotte, which is that

Charlotte fell silent when she heard this.
A split second later, she asked in puzzlement, “Have you thought of something, Jim? … I can’t think of any way that
we can win custody over Shelly unless we’re married…”
Jim let out a chuckle as he parked his car in front of his and Charlotte’s new house. Then, he said, snickering, as he
entered the house, “Charlotte, have you forgotten that you’re Shelly’s birth mother?”
Charlotte’s entire body stiffened when she heard this.
A split second later, she let out an awkward chuckle and said, “That…that’s right.
“I’m Shelly’s mother, so I don’t need to get married to win custody over her…”
Jim narrowed his eyes when he heard her sheepish tone. “Charlotte , you told me that Shelly is your daughter, so
she’s technically a piece of you, but why can’t I help but notice that from the moment Shelly reappeared in our
lives…you haven’t even given her a second glance? “Are you…really her mother?”
