"Still, Jim, we have to do something before we get married..."
She narrowed her eyes. "Harvey and Shelly are both still in Banyan City.
"Harvey's your son, and Shelly is your daughter...so we have to bring them here to witness our wedding.”
A surge of warmth spread through Jim’s heart when he heard this, but it was accompanied by puzzlement. "I have a daughter?"
Why did he have no recollection of that?
The only thing he remembered was that he had a son named Harvey, but his memories of Harvey were ones of six years ago.
Six years ago, when Jim was on a business trip in Banyan City, he had stumbled into the wrong room after getting drunk and accidentally slept with a mute woman.
After ten months, the woman gave birth to his son and handed the child over to Ms. Jennifer, a woman in Banyan City who sheltered orphans.
When Jim heard the news about this, he and Christopher flew over immediately. Besides bringing Harvey home, Christopher had grown fond of a girl who was friends with Harvey and brought her home with them to raise as his daughter.
Because of this, Jim had brought Harvey home, and Christopher had adopted June.
These two men, who had absolutely zero experience in rearing children, had gone through hell ever since they brought these two babies home, attempting to raise their children as single fathers.
The only memories Jim had of Harvey were these, and as for the girl named Shelly that Charlotte had mentioned...
He had no memory of her at all.
Seeing that Jim did not remember Shelly, Charlotte curled her lips into a smirk and narrowed her eyes slightly. Then, she said i n a gentle voice, ’’Shelly's your daughter, and she’s only two months old. She and Harvey were brought to Banyan City together by Christopher."
Charlotte had deliberately left out the fact that Bonnie had been the one to raise Shelly and instead continued, "You know b y now that Harvey and June are inseparable, and since Christopher brought June with him to live with Bonnie in Banyan City, naturally, Harvey followed as well.
"Not only that, but after what happened to your family, you were so busy dealing with Luna and Joshua every day that you didn't have the time to take care of Shelly, so you sent her over for Christopher to look after her."
