Jim furrowed his brows when he heard this familiar voice. "Are you Bonnie?" "I am, and you are..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Bonnie lowered her voice and asked, "Are you Jim?"
"Yes, it's me." Jim lowered his head to glance at the time.
It was 8 a m.
According to what he knew of Christopher, he was a night owl and would not be awake yet at this hour.
However, at a time like this, Bonnie had answered his phone, which meant that... they had spent the night together.
As soon as he thought of this, Jim's breath caught in his throat.
A split second later, he changed his mind.
Since Bonnie was Christopher's girlfriend, i t would not be strange for them to spend the night together.
"What are you doing, calling Christopher so early in the morning?" Bonnie frowned when she noticed that Jim did not say anything else, and she turned to glance at Christopher, who was still sleeping on the couch. "Christopher isn't awake yet, so I'll ask him to call you back as soon as he wakes up."
With that, she was just about to hang up when Jim stopped her, frowning. "I have something to say to you."
Jim's low voice made Bonnie scrunch up her brows in puzzlement.
She glanced again at Christopher, strode out of the room, and walked to the garden." Go on."
Bonnie was a little confused at this point.
Even though she knew that the reason Jim had acted the way he did toward her was that he had lost his memories and was under someone else's control, it was still a hard pill to swallow.
She had always thought that she meant so much to him that he would never forget her, but reality had slapped her harshly across her face.
Jim could not remember even a single detail about her anymore.
However, he still remembered Christopher and even voluntarily called him.
"Bonnie." Jim let out a sigh before continuing, "I apologize for treating you the way I did yesterday. I may have acted too coldly and too harshly toward you, but after finding out about you and Christopher, I suddenly don't think I was entirely in the wrong anymore."
