Chapter 2046
Bonnte immediately frowned upon hearing this voice.
She and Sean lifted their heads in unison and suddenly realized that there was a person sitting on the
stone bench in the corner of the garden.
Even though it was dark out and she could not make out his face, Bonnie knew instantaneously that it
was Jim, based on the sound of his voice and the cold, unapproachable aura emanating off his body.
However, despite knowing that he was there, she did not feel at all sheepish about what she had just
said about him but instead furrowed her brows in disgust. “What are you doing here?”
Was he not supposed to be spending time with his precious Charlotte at this hour?
Why had he appeared in the garden?
Jim could not help sneering when he heard her. “Why can’t I be here, in the garden of my own house?”
He stood up, strode over to Bonnie, and said coldly, “Besides, I wouldn’t have been able to hear Ms.
Craig’s truthful admission if I hadn’te today.”
He narrowed his eyes and stepped closer and closer to her, a dangerous look on his face. “I didn’t know
Ms. Craig hated me so much until today.”
He sneered. “If you hate me so much, why did you try over and over again to approach me? Why had
you been so desperate to get on my children’s good sides?”
With that, he reached out, grabbed hold of Bonnie’s chin, and forced her to stare straight into his eyes.
“Do you have a masochist trait, Ms. Craig, or were you so confident in yourself that you were sure you’d
be able to get your hands on me?”
It turned out that she had never been in love with him after all.
If so, why had she cried for him so many times and tried so desperately to get close to him over and
over?
Did she think it was some sort of game?
Jim’s grip on Bonnie was so tight that she could not help furrowing her brows in pain. She struggled
against his grip and eximed, “Let go of me, Jim Landry!”
Sean immediately sprinted over and grabbed hold of Jim’s wrist. “Let go of Ms. Craig! She’s already said
she can’t stand you, so don’t you dare touch her!”
Jim was infuriated by this. He turned around and shot Sean a murderous re. “Since when are you
allowed to interfere in my and Bonnie’s conversation? Who the hell do you think you are?”
Maybe it was because the drug had finally started to take effect, but at that moment, Jim could not help
being surprised by how irritated he was.
Sean paused for a moment and nced at a pale-faced Bonnie, then at the furious, looming man before
him.

For some reason, he immediately stormed to Bonnie’s side and pulled her into his arms. “I’m her
boyfriend.”
The air fell silent as soon as these three words came out of his mouth.
The only sound that could be heard was the rustling of leaves in the wind.
A split secondter, Bonnie was the first to break out of her stupor.
She knew that Sean was saying this to help her, and there was no way she could give up on his
kindness.
Not only that, she could clearly feel the hostility and air of aggression emanating from Jim, and so she
regained herposure andy against Sean’s arms, smiling. Then, she replied in a coy voice, “My
dear, Mr. Landry must be a little drunk now. Let’s not hold this against him. Let’s go home now.”
She did not want to stay even a minute longer in this wretched ce.
As soon as Sean heard this, he pulled her closer to his body in a protective manner and said, ” Okay,
let’s go.”
He picked up the luggage they had packed in one hand and, with his other arm around Bonnie,
sauntered out of the garden.
Jim remained motionless, watching the two of them leave as a wave of fiery anger rose in him.
He narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on Bonnie’s retreating figure.
This woman had imed that they had been in love in the past. She had approached him again and
again, iming that at one point, he had loved her as much as she did him.
