"Since you've gotten rid of the baby, I guess we have no business being here anymore."
As he said this, Christopher glanced at Jim, who had been sitting next to him. "Let's go, Jim."
Jim narrowed his eyes. "So soon? Aren't we going to bring Bonnie with us?"
Christopher curled his lips into a smile. " There’s no need for that anymore."
With that, he glanced at Bonnie with a somewhat reassured look. "Since she's already gotten rid of our child, I don't think there's a need for me to take care of her anymore."
Jim furrowed his brows and stared at Christopher in puzzlement.
The child that Bonnie had aborted was Christopher's child, but why did he not seem upset at all and relieved instead?
When Christopher had brought up Bonnie o n the phone the night before, he had teared up and claimed that he would stop at nothing to bring Bonnie home with him, where he would be able to take care of her.
He even seemed thrilled to be a father, but a t this moment...
Jim furrowed his brows and glanced first a t Christopher, then at Bonnie. He could not help feeling a little confused about this.
He could understand why Christopher had been so anxious to see the proof of Bonnie's surgery. After all, abortion was such a sensitive topic that one should not joke about it.
If Bonnie had lied to Christopher about getting an abortion when in reality she had not, then they would have trouble fighting for the baby's custody in the future.
However, to his surprise, Christopher seemed delighted to know that Bonnie had gone through with the abortion.
Jim narrowed his eyes. "Who does this baby truly belong to?"
For some reason, Jim suddenly wanted to know the truth about this baby.
He did not understand why he was suddenly compelled to find out about this.
It was as though .he had said this out of intention of getting to know Bonnie better.
