Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2136

Bonnie stared dazedly at the man kneeling before her.

Sean's eyes were glossed with earnestness, as though every single word out of his mouth came after careful consideration.

Maybe other women would feel nothing but happiness when a young, handsome, and responsible man said something like this to them, but at this moment, all Bonnie felt was guilt, helplessness, and fear.

She was guilty because she knew she should not have dragged Sean into the drama between her and Jim, and she should not have given him the wrong impression.

She felt helpless because no matter how well Sean treated her, she knew she would never be able to fall for anyone else apart from Jim.

Finally, she was scared.

She was scared that Sean would never be able to move on from her.

If that happened, it would only add to her guilt and regret toward him.

"Bonnie." Sean curled his lips into a bitter smile when he saw Bonnie staring at him in silence. "You don't want to be with me, do you?

"I can tell that the only person you love is Jim, but I still want to stay by your side to protect you.

"I never want to see what happened today, when you got locked in Jim's car, happen again in the future."

Then, he lifted his head to stare earnestly at Bonnie. "I don't need you to give me an answer right now.

"I'm willing to wait as long as it takes for you to give me a chance to be with you."

Sean thought that as long as he stayed by Bonnie's side to prove his love, she would eventually come around to him.

Besides, even if she did not agree to be with him in the future, he would still be content with being able to keep her safe.

Bonnie rubbed her brows in exhaustion upon hearing this.

A split second later, she lifted her head to meet Sean’s gaze. "I admire you, Sean, but this isn't love, and I'll never pass on this feeling as love toward you.

"I'm willing to remain friends...but I think we’d better keep our distance from now on." She let out an exhale and continued, "Even though I've already given up on Jim...I still won't put myself out there, not at least for a few more years.”
