"So, Bonnie, I won't marry you, no matter how hard you try to make that happen. I’ll never marry you out of responsibility, and I believe this is only fair to you and me."
"Alright." Bonnie curled her lips into a contemptuous smirk. "I understand, Mr. Landry, but I still have to remind you-"
She let out an exhale and continued impassively, "Firstly, the people who have requested you to go through with your promise are your parents, not me. Prior to this, I had never met them at all, and thus, I would never have been able to plot this.
"Secondly..."
She chuckled, fixing her smiling gaze on Jim's handsome face, and added, "Sean and I are dating now, and from the moment I agreed to be his girlfriend. I've already given up pursuing you, Mr. Landry.
"Therefore, you should stop being so arrogant and think that I’m still in love with you."
Then, she turned to glance at the nurse, who was stunned by this entire exchange." Didn't you ask me whether my boyfriend is good in bed? Well, I'll tell you the answer now."
As she said this, she turned to stare at Jim, her gaze meeting his. "My boyfriend Sean is young and handsome, and he's exceptionally good in bed.
"So much better than my ex-boyfriend, in fact.
"Therefore, my ex-boyfriend shouldn't keep thinking how charming or irresistible he is or that I can't survive without him."
Bonnie's words were loud and clear.
Jim's gaze turned from disdainful to puzzled, then finally outraged.
He stormed forward and snapped, "You've been lying to everyone so much that you've already fooled yourself, haven’t you, Bonnie?"
She sneered WKY> added, "You're a joke, Jim Landry."
