Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2144

"Me?" Jim snickered and glanced at Christopher. "I didn’t think you'd care about anyone else but Bonnie now.”

Then, he shifted into a more comfortable position, leaning against the bar table, and added, "When you brought her up immediately after calling me, I thought you were here to speak on her behalf."

"No, I’m not. She doesn't need to be friends with someone like me who hurt her in the past, much less...speak to you on her behalf. " Christopher sported a self-deprecating smile, then lifted his head to stare at Jim." Jim, I'm in the middle of something important now, and as soon as I'm finished, I might bring June with me to someplace up north.

"Aunty Rosalyn had already given me the recipe to formulate the drugs for my illness, and I'll be able to produce my own medicine in the future. I..."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "I want to bring June with me to someplace where nobody knows us and start a new life there."

Jim's entire body stiffened when he heard this.

He lifted his head to stare at Christopher in shock. "But you've lived in Merchant City for the past twenty years... All your friends and family are here, so you...”

Christopher picked up his glass and drained its contents before finally replying, "It's precisely because I've been living here for more than twenty years that I want to leave. I can't let myself remain stagnant forever, so I want to go somewhere up north to a foreign city and start our lives afresh."

He lowered his head to stare at his empty glass and sighed. "I want June to experience the life she's always wanted..."

Jim sighed. "Are you going to come back in the future?"

"I don't know." Christopher let out a bitter chuckle. "It's still too early to plan this yet since I haven’t yet finished what I'm doing...

He lifted his head to meet Jim’s gaze." Therefore, I hope you and Bonnie can help me look after June before I finish what I started.
