Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 1871

"Well, we’ll be off now, Jim."

A pained expression flashed across Christopher's face when he saw the look on Jim's face.

He did not intend to stay any longer, so he turned and left hurriedly with Bonnie.

Jim remained motionless as he stared at Christopher and Bonnie’s retreating figures.

For some reason, he could not help but think something strange was going on between these two.

Bonnie seemed desperate to maintain a distance between them, whereas Christopher kept trying to make Bonnie lean against him.

Jim stared at them until, eventually, they disappeared from sight.

"Jim!" Suddenly, Charlotte, who had finished her appointment with the doctor, sprinted into the garden. "What are you doing here? I've been looking for you all over the place! Why didn't you pick up your phone?"

Jim finally snapped out of his stupor and glanced at his phone.

There were three missed calls, all from Charlotte.

She had called him at the exact moment Christopher and Bonnie left, but for some reason, he had not heard a thing.

Jim shoved the paper Bonnie had given him into his pocket, then smiled at Charlotte as she made her way over to him. "The hospital was too packed, so I came out here for some fresh air."

Charlotte leaped into his arms, smiling, and gently rocked his arm as she said," Don't you dare go missing on me again in the future.

"I couldn't find you just now, and I was in such a panic that I thought you had run off with another woman!"

Jim curled his lips into a smile and playfully knocked on Charlotte's forehead " What on earth is going on in this brain of yours?"

With that, he put his arm around her and was about to leave when a woman's scream echoed from nearby. "Help! There’s a pervert!”

Jim froze in his steps and glanced in the direction of the woman's voice.

The man who had been with Bonnie just a few minutes earlier had been seized by a woman screaming her lungs out.

A few security guards arrived at the scene.
