Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 1868

Bonnie never had the chance to hold hands with Jim in public, not like he had with Charlotte.

Every time she brought up the topic of announcing their relationship publicly, Jim always pulled the this-is-for-your-own -good excuse to reject her.

At one point, Bonnie had started to think that Jim's personality was the reason he did not like public displays of affection, but their encounter in the elevator that morning made her realize something.

He did not mind displaying public acts of affection at all; the problem was who he was with.

"Hey gorgeous, what are you doing here all alone?" a leering man's voice suddenly rang out next to Bonnie's ear.

Bonnie frowned and immediately opened her eyes.

A roguish man who seemed like a gangster stood before her, holding a piece of grass between his lips as he ogled Bonnie. "You look like you're sick. Do you need someone to take care of you?"

With that, he inched closer to Bonnie, grinning from ear to ear. "I’m great at taking care of people, especially in bed!"

The man's tone and sound of his voice disgusted Bonnie.

If this had happened on a regular day, she would have stood up and left, ignoring him entirely.

At this moment, alas, she was a patient with a wound on her lower abdomen.

She could not even summon the strength t o get up from the bench, much less get away from this perfectly healthy man.

On top of that...

Her phone had been broken the day before during her encounter with Charlotte, and she had yet to buy a new one. Therefore, if she left at this moment, Christopher would not be able to find her when he returned, and he would surely panic.

Therefore, after weighing the risks and benefits, Bonnie decided to remain seated i n her chair.
