Silence blanketed the room after Luna's remark.
Joshua furrowed his brow silently.
Nonetheless, Jim smiled lightly and did not take Luna's words to heart. "Regardless of what your intention was, you did help me, and I must thank you for that. Moreover
He looked at Bonnie, who was lying on the bed with her eyes shut tightly, and a helpless expression appeared on his face." You're her best friend. She adamantly protected the baby and even resolved to make a fake report just to keep that baby. Just because of my impulsiveness, however, she lost the baby.
"Your anger is warranted, and I deserved that slap; it's only right that I endured that.
I only have myself to blame."
After that, he looked at Luna and sighed heavily. "Could you please tell me more about my relationship with Bonnie?"
Jim's request baffled Luna. She gazed at the man before her and felt something was different about him, but she could not tell what it was.
Looking at how stunned Luna was, Jim-thinking she did not hear him the first time —patiently repeated himself, "Can you tell me about my relationship with Bonnie?"
This time, Luna heard very clearly what Jim said. She paused and looked at Jim curiously. "You... Why would you suddenly want to know?"
Previously, Jim had never wanted to admit his relationship with Bonnie to the extent that he did not want anyone around him mentioning it to him. If he could, he would probably want to wipe off that history and wanted to have nothing to do with Bonnie, as though they had never met each other.
All of a sudden, Jim requested Luna to tell him the details of their relationship.
