    Chapter 2148


    As soon as Jim finished his sentence, the entire room fell silent.


    Pin-drop silence.


    Bonnie held her breath and stared at Jim, feeling as though all the cells in her body had frozen.


    Her mind had stopped turning, she could not utter a single word, and she felt as though her heart had


    skipped a few beats..


    She bit her lip and stared dazedly at the painting on the wall in front of her.


    This was a painting that she and Jim had bought from a street painter that they encountered on their trip


    six months ago.


    It was a drawing of her and Jim, standing side-by-side on a bridge by the seaside, watching the sunset.


    They had not known that the artist was painting them, and it was only after they finished watching the


    sunset that the artist ambled over to them and showed them the painting, iming that he could not


    resist recording this magical moment in his art. At that time, the artist had wanted to gift this painting to


    them to show his gratitude for being able to capture such a beautiful scene. However, Jim insisted on


    paying him for his work, and in the end, he had shoved a check into the artist’s hands. The check was


    written for arge sum of money because Jim had prepared this money in advance for his business


    meeting. When the artist finally left, Bonnie had even shot him a disapproving re since the artist was


    not a famous painter, and she did not think it was worth it to pay him so much money. However, Jim


    smiled and pulled her into his arms.


    “It’s not about the money… It’s about the fact that he hadplimented us and even captured this


    moment in his art.


    To me, this is worth far more than any amount of money I can give.” Even until present, Bonnie still


    remembered his every word. At this moment, she was staring at the painting as she felt Jim’s breath on


    her skin.


    A split secondter, she let out an exhale, regained herposure, and shoved Jim away.” This isn’t


    funny.” If the person hugging her was the old Jim, the man who would put her before anything else, she


    would be touched by his words, but he was not.


    After losing his memories, Jim had be an entirely different person.


    To Bonnie, the only thing these two men had inmon was their shared looks, but they were two


    different entities. He was not the old Jim she knew. If Jim had proposed to her like this in the past, she


    would have been touched, but at this moment… She could not help feeling like he was mocking her.

    If she agreed to marry him, he would grab her throat in the next second EQEUM\mw cackle about how


    he had known she wanted to marry him all along.


    She had already grown used to his tactics, so this time, she did not intend to give him the satisfaction.


    As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie let out an exhale, pushed Jim out of the kitchen, then mmed


    the door shut behind her.


    After the scent of alcohol dissipated from the air, Bonnie exhaled and gently patted her chest to soothe


    her rapidly beating heart.


    “Thank God I didn’t fall for it this time.” Then, she resumed preparing the ingredients for her soup.


    She had to make the soup for him as fast as she could to nurse him back to consciousness and kick him


    out of the house.


    That way, he would not be able to use his drunken state as an excuse to harass her anymore.


    Jim narrowed his eyes as he stared at the vague outline of the woman dressed in red through the matte


    ss door, bustling about in the kitchen.


    Truth be told, he was not really drunk at all.


    Perhaps it was because of his recent amnesia, or perhaps because he had been in a terrible mood ever


    since finding out about Charlotte’s deceit…but for some reason, even after Christopher had almost


    passed out from the alcohol, he remained wide alert.
