Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2389

Luna, too, was stunned by this sudden revelation.

Never, not even in her wildest dreams, had she thought that Jim would be hiding so much from them.

It made sense why Jim, when the Landry family was going through their toughest times, had so confidently told her that even if they went broke, he would be able to take them in.

He had been preparing for this moment for a long time.

"Jim never revealed the extent of his assets because he had been thinking of us all along..." said Rosalyn, sighing, her head lowered as she continued wrapping gauze around Charles' wound. "This was why Butler Fred had taken advantage of the situation and collected so much incriminating evidence that led us to think Jim had betrayed us..."

She let out another sigh and finally lifted her head to stare at Jim with a relieved look. "You never disappoint, my dear son."

A surge of warmth spread through Jim’s heart when he heard these.

"I want to apologize to you, Jim." Rosalyn sighed when she saw the delighted look on Jim's face. "Yesterday, when I read the documents that Butler Fred gave him, I had initially been disappointed in you. I truly believed that you’d abandon us and focus on your own career."

"Now, I stand corrected. You... You're my son, the man I raised, and I shouldn't have doubted you in the first place."

Rosalyn's words felt like a blow against Jim's chest. He quickly stood up, strode over to Rosalyn, >g)=RMP> reached out to take her hands in his. "I don't blame you, Mother. I shouldn't have hidden all this from you for so long.

"I... When you and Father returned to Merchant City, and Luna and Joshua finally resolved their misunderstanding that Joshua stopped attacking Landry Group, I should've come clean with the truth right then and there, but I..."

He closed his eyes as a bitter expression crept across his face. "You know how busy I've been lately, tending to Bonnie. Bonnie's disease has been hard on me, and I...I didn't have the mental capacity to think about anything else."

Rosalyn bit her lip at the sight of Jim's pain. "Jim, about Bonnie..."
