Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2168

Jim furrowed his brows and stood up, moving to another spot so he could answer the call.

Before he could take another step forward, however, Harvey grabbed the hem of Jim's top.

"Daddy, didn't you just tell me that you've made up your mind to be with Mommy? Why do you plan on taking this call behind my back now? Are you still thinking about searching for Number-9?"

Even though Jim had never told Harvey about Number-9, Harvey grew up together with June, and Christopher, the girl's father, was a parent who treated June like a friend. Hence, no matter what June asked, Christopher would tell June if he felt that June could understand.

Christopher, thus, must have told June about Number-9. Since June knew about Number-9 s existence, there was no reason that Harvey did not know about her.

Harvey clearly heard Assistant Lowe mention the children's home from the other line, so he knew that this call must have been about Number-9. Jim's brows furrowed at Harvey's words and stern expression.

Jim was silent for a good few seconds before he sighed and sat back down on the sofa next to Harvey. Then, he switched the call to speaker mode.

"Assistant Lowe, what new information do you have?"

Assistant Lowe paused for a second before he began his report, "I contacted Mr.

Duncan's daughter. She grew up in the children’s home too and had many memories with children living there. Moreover, she is still in contact with most of the people on the name list. Although she's not sure what name Number-9 goes with at present, she can use her identity to help you ask around..."

After finishing that, Assistant Lowe took a deep breath.

"She...also asked me something. Do you know anything else about Number-9, apart from the fact that that's her number and that red was her favorite color?"

Jim furrowed and muttered to himself," Other information..."

He narrowed his eyes and suddenly thought of the birthmark on Number-9's shoulder.
