Jim furrowed his brows and gripped his phone tighter when he heard the pleading tone in Christopher's voice.
"Jim?" Seeing that Jim did not respond for a long time, Christopher furrowed his brows and asked tentatively, "Are you... are you unwilling to help me? Or...are you unwilling to help me because you like Bonnie too..."
"Christopher," Jim let out an exhale and interrupted Christopher curtly. "I don't like Bonnie. You know fully well that the
person I've always loved is Charlotte. I just...
He fell silent for a moment before finally saying, "I just have other plans for tomorrow morning.
"Don't worry, I'll go to Swan Lake Chalet to pick you up tomorrow morning, and we'll head to Joshua's place tomorrow."
Even though he was reluctant, Jim still gave in to Christopher's request in the end.
Since Christopher had already made this request, Jim was worried that he would get upset if he rejected him.
Besides, Joshua and Luna were two of the most deceitful crooks he knew, and it would be difficult for Christopher to bring Bonnie away from them on his own. Therefore, he had to accompany Christopher to ensure they did not take advantage of him.
Christopher grew overjoyed when he heard Jim's agreement. "Alright! I knew you would help me, Jim. Even if the whole world is against me, you'll still stand by my side, won't you, Jim?”
Jim furrowed his brows, suddenly noticing that Christopher seemed a little different than usual.
However, he still curled his lips into a smirk and replied, "Yes."
"Thank you, Jim. I'm glad to hear that."
With that, Christopher smiled and hung up the phone.
