Chapter 1998


    Meanwhile, at Landry Mansion, Charlotte was sitting on the sofa in the living room with tears streaming


    down her cheeks.


    “Tell me the truth, Jim: Are you starting to hate me now because you think Ms. Bonnie is prettier than I


    am?” She stroked her face as she cried. “If I hadn’t fallen for Heather’s trick and got trapped in that fire,


    my face wouldn’t even look like this today. After al?, i used to be considered pretty too, before my


    ident ruined my face!


    “But now, I’ve be nothing but an ugly hag in your son’s eyes…”


    Her voice started to shake as she sobbed, “Even if you change your mind about marrying me, Jim, I


    won’t me you. After all, men can’t keep their promises, and you’re a man, too.


    “I shouldn’t have thought you were different; I shouldn’t have thought you would keep your promise to me


    that you made so many years ago when we were young…


    “It’s okay, Jim. Even if you want to break up with me, I won’t me you.”


    Jim let out a sigh when he heard this, walked over to Charlotte, and pulled her into an embrace. “What


    on earth are you talking about, Charlotte? Since when did I say I want to break up with you? Since when


    did I say I’m going to break my promise?”


    Charlotte cried even harder when she heard this. “But you allowed Bonnie to move into Landry Mansion,


    and you kicked me out…


    “The two of your children love Bonnie more than me, and as soon as I leave, the four of you will be


    a happy little family. I’m just a nobody…”


    Jim let out a sigh and grabbed hold of Charlotte’s chin, forcing her to stare at him. “Why would you think


    that, Charlotte? Don’t you know that as soon as Iid eyes on you, I made up my mind that I’d marry no


    one but you?”


    A glimmer of triumph shed through her eyes when she heard this.


    Nheless, she feigned innocence and whimpered, “But you’re sending me away, Jim…”


    “I’m not sending you away, just asking you to move out of here temporarily.”


    Jim let out a sigh, took out a key from his pocket, and ced it in Charlotte’s palm. “This is a 300-square-


    feet vi that I bought in the best part of town.


    “I bought this as our future home once we’re married. After all, we can’t possibly continue staying in my


    parent’s house forever, since they’ll get better someday, and I know you don’t like dealing with elders…


    so I bought this house for our future.


    “I had wanted to give you this as a gift, but I never thought it would be used for such a


    nurnose.”

    With that, he sped Charlotte’s fingers around the key and added, “Why don’t you stay there and think


    of it like you’re just getting prepared for our future life? You can decorate the house however you like.”


    In the past, something like this was not enough to reassure Charlotte at all, but this was different.


    This was a 300-square-feet vi in the busiest and most expensive part of town.


    This was far beyond Charlotte’s wildest dreams.


    Even Landry Mansion seemed to pale inparison!


    Despite being secretly delighted , Charlotte still sniffed and lifted her head to stare at Jim in remorse,


    feigning sorrow. “Do you really n on marrying me? You won’t change your mind at thest minute and


    decide to marry Bonnie, will you?” Jim curled his lips into a helpless smile when he heard this. “How is


    that possible?”
