"I'm picking up right now!”
With that, Bonnie took out her phone, let out an exhale to regain her composure, and picked up the phone.
"Congratulations," Harvey's excited voice rang out from the other end of the line. " You’ve finally achieved what you wanted!
"I can finally call you Mommy as I've always wanted to!"
Bonnie furrowed her brows when she heard this. "What are you saying?"
"Don't play dumb with me." Harvey pursed his lip and said with a hint of playful contempt, "Alright, alright, don't boast. You don't have to lie to me; Mr. Jim Landry told me everything."
Bonnie's frown grew even deeper when she heard this. "Tell you...what?" "About your wedding, of course!" Harvey started to giggle as he said this. "This morning, Mr. Jim called me and told me that he'll be getting married this month, but before that, he wanted Shelly and me to return to Merchant City so that our family can be together to witness this event.”
A hint of excitement enlivened Harvey's voice as he continued, "We're finally going t o become a family!"
Bonnie could not help feeling a little disappointed as Harvey’s words sank in.
Jim was getting married to Charlotte, but Harvey thought she was the bride.
As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie closed her eyes, unsure how to explain everything to Harvey.
Even though she and Harvey were close, they were not related at all, and neither was Shelly.
It turned out that Bonnie had always been a n outsider in Jim's life.
With him getting married to Charlotte at last, he did not intend to leave anything to her at all.
He wanted Harvey and Shelly to return to Merchant City to live with him...
