"I always thought only a cheerful person like you would like the color red. Never have I ever thought that someone as depressing as Charlotte would like that color, too."
After all, red was a happy, passionate color, and Charlotte was not even close to either o f these adjectives.
Joshua was not the only person who thought this; everyone else seemed to have agreed with this notion.
Christopher had even joked about this before, saying that maybe Jim had mistaken someone else as Charlotte.
Christopher had said that according to a book he had read about color psychology, a person would gravitate toward a color corresponding to their personality. This theory was backed by plenty of scientific evidence that supported it.
At that time, Joshua had not believed Christopher when he said this, and he even thought he had lost his mind after reading too many books.
How could a person's favorite color possibly represent their personality?
However, after meeting Charlotte for the first time, he finally understood why Christopher would think this way.
"Are you saying that...Jim and Charlotte met at the orphanage?" Bonnie's entire body froze when she heard this.
She lifted her head to stare at Joshua in disbelief. "How is that possible?"
Jim had been born into the wealthy and powerful Landry family, and he was treated like a prince since he was young.
He was the son of Charles and the love of life, Lucy, and ever since Lucy died, Charles had tried desperately to make up for his mistakes by showering Jim with love.
Therefore, how could he have been sent to a n orphanage?
"How is it impossible, you ask?" Joshua put out his cigarette and lifted his head to stare at Bonnie. "Jim is a loyal person, and after finding out that his father had sent Luna to an orphanage, he was so worried that he left home in search of Luna at the tender age of ten.
"However, he was so young at the time that he was mistaken for an orphan and was taken into the orphanage.
"He had been living at the orphanage for more than three months until the Landry family finally tracked him down and brought him home."
