Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2024
Charlotte froze when she heard Jim’s voice ring out from behind her. She put down the phone, regained her
composure, and lifted her head to glance at him. “What are you talking about, Jim?”
There was a twinge of hurt on her face. “Do you think I lied to you?”
She bit her lip as tears slid down her cheeks. Staring at him, she spoke, sounding like she was choked with tears,
“Jim, I narrowly escaped death when giving birth to Shelly, but for some reason, you think I’m lying to you and that
I’m not Shelly’s birth mother at all. Is that what you think after all?”
Tears brimmed in her eyes as she asked, “What did you hear from other people? You’re right, I don’t appear to be
at all concerned about Shelly as I should’ve, but this is all your fault, isn’t it?”
She lifted her head to fixate her tearful gaze on Jim’s face and whimpered, “When Shelly was born, you forbade me

“Not only that, but as soon as she was born, you told me to leave Merchant City and handed her over to
Christopher to look after her.
“You told me that Christopher is a doctor, and he also has experience taking care of his daughter, so you’d feel
more reassured to have him take care of Shelly.
“After that, Christopher brought Shelly with him when he flew to Banyan City to find Bonnie, and…”
She sniffed and said with a sorrowful look, “Bonnie was the one who had come up with Shelly’s name, and as her
birth mother, I couldn’t help but be devastated by all this.
“She’s my daughter, but for some reason, Bonnie was given all the credit! How do you think I feel? Also,”
She let out an exhale and added, “You’re suspecting that I’m not Shelly’s mother based on the way I behaved
toward her yesterday, right?”
She wiped her tears and sniffed, “Well, you’re wrong. From the moment Shelly was born, I had never been given a
chance to bond with her, and because of this, I can’t help feeling distanced from my own daughter…
“Maybe you’re right; maybe it was my fault. I shouldn’t have neglected her just because
I never had the chance to bond with her.
“Because you weren’t on my side in the past, there was nothing I could do but relent to all these unfair changes. I
knew that I wouldn’t be able to see Shelly, so I even stopped hoping at all, but things are different now.
“Now that I have you, Jim, I think that I should start caring more about our child.”
She lifted her head to stare at Jim and said in a hoarse voice, “Jim, I want you to bring Harvey and Shelly over so
that we can live together as a family.
“If Harvey hates me, why don’t you just let Shelly come live with me by herself? Can you do that?
“I’ve always longed to spend some time together with my daughter, but I never had the chance to do so…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“If I can spend some alone time with Shelly and bond with her as mother and daughter, I promise I’ll take care of
her and not neglect her anymore!”
As she said this, Charlotte’s gaze was fixated on Jim, her face etched with hopefulness.
The expression on her face made Jim’s chest tighten.
He could not possibly reject Charlotte’s request, but…
He let out an exhale and turned his head away so as not to meet her tantalizing stare.” Charlotte, I think we still
need to talk this through. Harvey will never want to be separated from his sister, and at the same time, he hasn’t
warmed up to you yet. If you want to bring Shelly over, we have to first find a way to take care of Harvey.
“I think it’s best that we take this slow.”
Charlotte narrowed her eyes when she heard this.,
She clenched her fists out of Jim’s sight.
Jim used to cling onto her every word, especially after she poisoned him for the second time.
The first time she did this, he had still gotten mad at her and tried to take revenge on her for following him, but
after the second time, he would hang onto her every word as though it was the gospel itself. Things changed.
