Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2171

Bonnie looked out the window and could not bother to even glance at Jim.

"Oh, don't worry about that."

She never wanted to tell the truth anyway, and since Jim had said such things, she would never consider bringing up the past in the conversation. Moreover, even if she told him that she was Number-9, he would just think that she was playing tricks just to be close to him purposely. That would not be fun.

Very soon, the car reached Quinn Mansion. When Jim and Bonnie arrived, Joshua, Luna, Luke, and Gwen were already waiting inside the mansion's lobby.

Noticing Jim and Bonnie's arrival, Gwen sported a faint smile, her eyes vaguely gleaming with satire. "Has Mr. Jim’s hand recovered from its burn? Why did you come here?”

She remembered that moment when her hand was burnt by Charlotte, and Jim stepped forward on behalf of Charlotte, placing his hand on the kettle in a silent plea of leniency for Charlotte's sake.

"Mr. Landry's humble sacrifice for Charlotte had broadened my mind. I thought that since Mr. Landry has such deep feelings for Charlotte, you'd follow us to come to look for her."

Jim's face slowly contorted bitterly. "Ms. Larson, aren't we all friends? Why do you have to say such sour things?"

Gwen chuckled. "Well, why didn't Mr. Landry think of this the last time we met and punished Ms. Jacobs on my behalf?" She accepted the peeled grape from Luke and ate it. "If you had punished Ms. Jacobs at that time, maybe she wouldn't be a murderer and fugitive now, don’t you think so?"

Jim furrowed and said nothing.

Gwen looked at him again and giggled teasingly. Then, she looked at Bonnie with a smile. "Come sit with me."

Bonnie nodded and walked toward Gwen, sitting next to her.
