Harvey's video had finished playing.
Bonnie's head was lowered, and she was silent.
Jim, too, was fixated on his driving, pretending as though he did not hear anything from Harvey's video at all.
The entire car was silent, as though everything that happened had just been a dream.
Finally, they arrived at Tea Cottage.
Jim unlocked the door and said, "Harvey, get out of the car first. I have something to talk to your mother about."
Harvey sighed and glanced first at Bonnie, then at Jim. "Alright, but you two talk this out properly. Don't argue, and don't you dare get into a physical fight!"
Then, he opened the door and got out of the door.
As he did this, Bonnie, too, placed a hand on the door handle on her side and tried to slip out of the car unnoticed.
She had nothing to talk to Jim about.
In the past, when she had been desperately trying to salvage their relationship, he had chosen Charlotte over her and rejected her over and over. Time and time again, he had even insulted her and led to her being injured.
All of the injuries on her body had something to do with him.
Not only that, but during her meeting with Rosalyn and Charles the day before, he had not ceased to humiliate her either.
All that, and he was claiming that he wanted to marry her just a day later?
What did he think she was? Did he think she was some sort of pet that he could chase away and beckon to him at his fancy?
As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie could not wait to get out of the car, but before she could do this, Jim caught sight of her trying to escape and swiftly locked the doors.
Bonnie almost caught her finger in the door in doing this, and as she drew her hand back quickly, she shot Jim a murderous glare and snapped, "Are you trying to murder me again?"
