Chapter 1955

"I'm picking up right now!" With that, Bonnie took out her phone, let out an exhale to regain her composure, and picked up the phone. "Congratulations," Harvey's excited voice rang out from the other end of the line. "You've finally achieved what you wanted! "I can finally call you Mommy as I've always wanted to!" Bonnie furrowed her brows when she heard this. "What are you saying?" "Don't play dumb with me." Harvey pursed his lip and said with a hint of playful contempt, "Alright, alright, don't boast. You don't have to lie to me; Mr. Jim Landry told me everything." Bonnie's frown grew even deeper when she heard this. "Tell you…what?" "About your wedding, of course!" Harvey started to giggle as he said this. "This morning, Mr. Jim called me and told me that he'll be getting married this month, but before that, he wanted Shelly and me to return to Merchant City so that our family can be together to witness this event." A hint of excitement enlivened Harvey's voice as he continued, "We're finally going to become a family!" Bonnie could not help feeling a little disappointed as Harvey's words sank in. Jim was getting married to Charlotte, but Harvey thought she was the bride. As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie closed her eyes, unsure how to explain everything to Harvey. Even though she and Harvey were close, they were not related at all, and neither was Shelly. It turned out that Bonnie had always been an outsider in Jim's life. With him getting married to Charlotte at last, he did not intend to leave anything to her at all. He wanted Harvey and Shelly to return to Merchant City to live with him… As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie let out a sigh and gently stroked her belly. Truth be told, she almost went through with the abortion the day before. However, she hesitated as soon as she lay down on the operation table. Before she could make up her mind whether to go through with the abortion or not, the chief surgeon entered the room and asked her how far along she was in her pregnancy. Soon after that, she was asked to leave the operating room. The doctor had told her that a one-month-old baby was barely as big as a nail, so she did not need to undergo surgery to get rid of it and instead could opt for abortion pills. Even after getting her hands on the abortion pills from the doctor, Bonnie still changed her mind. At this moment, she was glad that she did not swallow that pill at all because… Harvey and Shelly were going to return to Jim's side, and as soon as they did so, she would be all on her own again. Fortunately, she had the baby in her belly to keep her company… "Aunty Bonnie?" Harvey asked, frowning when he heard no reply from Bonnie's end. "Why aren't you saying anything?" He could tell that something was wrong. "Why do you sound a little sad? Did…Mr. Jim do something wrong?" "No." Bonnie exhaled and decided not to tell Harvey the truth. If she had told him everything, he would be upset from the moment he learned the truth, so she decided it was better to tell him after he arrived in Merchant City so as not to disrupt his good mood. She curled her lips into a smile and said, "Mr. Jim didn't do anything wrong. I was just…" She tried to suppress the emotions in her heart as she said in a choked voice, "I was just trying to stop myself from crying tears of happiness."
