Rosalyn sighed and clutched Charles' hand in comfort as they slowly left.
Inside the room, Jim held Bonnie's hand. As he watched Charles and Rosalyn leaving through the window, he finally could not stop himself from sighing.
He squeezed Bonnie's cold hand and said," Bonnie, they've already agreed for us to get married...
"I know that if you woke up right now, you'd still reject me because you don't think I mean it, that I'm just marrying you because of Harvey or just to mock you. The truth is..."
He lowered his body and placed Bonnie's palm against his face. "I haven't been telling the truth."
He closed his eyes, and a tear slid down his cheek.
When did he fall for Bonnie?
It was probably from the first time he laid eyes on her.
The first time he saw her was not at Tea Cottage but when he caught sight of the photo on his laptop.
Inside that picture, Bonnie was standing underneath a maple tree, dressed in red. Even with her back facing the camera, she still looked carefree and alluring.
This photo reminded Jim of the little girl he had met at the orphanage, Number-9, and made him reminisce about the old feelings buried deep within his heart.
He was with Charlotte at that time, and he had always thought Charlotte was Number-
9.
However, no matter how many times he tried to compare Charlotte to the photo on his computer screen, he could not convince himself that it was a match.
Jim did not know what he had experienced before losing his memories, but he knew that at one point, he must have loved this woman.
Even though he had lost his memories, Jim believed that deep down, his core personality had not changed.
Jim preferred to keep his desktop free of clutter and only kept items that were truly important to him.
It was clear that by the location of the photo on his computer desktop, he had placed it there deliberately and would constantly look at it in the past.
Ever since then, Jim could not help feeling curious about this woman dressed in red until one day-
Every word that came out of Bonnie’s mouth
