Bonnie asked in a low voice, frowning, as soon as Jim left, "What's going on with Roanne now?"
Jim and Charlotte both thought that Roanne had kidnapped Shelly, but Bonnie knew that Shelly was, in fact, safe and sound at Joshua's house, playing with the rest of the children.
This was why she had appeared so calm when Jim brought up Roanne and could even ask Theo about her.
Theo let out an awkward cough. "I'm not too sure either. She told me to send her some food and children's things, so I did.
"However, she didn't let me enter the room and told me to leave as soon as I dropped the stuff she wanted off."
He let out a sigh and lifted his head to shoot Bonnie a puzzled glance. "Isn't Shelly at Joshua's house now? If so, why did Roanne still ask me to bring her children's supplies? Who does she have with her now?
Bonnie shrugged. "I have no idea."
Then, she sighed and turned to glance at Sean. "Do you want to come with us to Joshua's place, or do you want to go home?"
Even though she had gone back to Landry Mansion with Sean, she was only there to pack her things; she would be staying at Joshua’s place that night.
Sean, on the other hand, insisted on returning to his own home every night, no matter how late he ended up working.
Bonnie had heard that he had an ill sister at home he needed to take care of, and that was why Sean needed to return every night.
However...
Bonnie could not help frowning as she stared at Sean's bruised, swollen face.
Sean's sister would surely probably be more worried when she saw him like this instead of him not returning for one night, no?
Sean had clearly thought of this beforehand. He fell silent for a moment, then glanced at himself in the rearview mirror.
His face was so bruised and swollen that he could not even bear to look at himself.
Even though the doctor had tried his best to help him, it was still hard to hide his injuries.
