A surge of warmth spread through Bonnie's heart as she stared at Harvey's wide-eyed, child-like gaze.
A split second later, she reached out and hugged Harvey close to her. "Thank you, Harvey."
He was just six years old, and Bonnie knew how much he longed to have a family.
After all...she had grown up as an orphan, and when she was young, there was nothing she wanted more than to be reunited with her birth parents.
Even with their predicament, Harvey was reassuring her calmly that even if she did not want to marry Jim, he would understand and respect her decision.
How could she not be touched by having such an understanding son?
The two of them embraced for a long time until finally, Bonnie's phone rang.
It was a call from Luna. "Bonnie, can you help me? Theo..."
Bonnie furrowed her brows when she heard Luna hesitating. "What's wrong?"
Luna sighed, then explained everything that had happened to her, including Theo’s stubborn insistence to marry Roanne, who had died. "Theo and I were close, and at one point, he had saved Neil's life, so I..."
Bonnie frowned upon hearing this.
She could understand how tough of a situation Luna was in.
On one hand, Bonnie knew that Luna was right, and someone had to put their foot down and snap Theo out of this.
On the other hand, Theo had helped Luna countless times in the past, and if Luna were to scold him for this, he would think that she was ungrateful and did not appreciate him for the sacrifices he had made.
Even though Luna would not be doing anything to harm Theo, Bonnie knew that Luna could never bring herself to scold or reprimand Theo.
