"I never want to see you again!"
Christopher let out a sigh as he stared at the bleeding, struggling woman before him.
He could not believe that even in her dazed state, Jim was still the only person on her mind.
Christopher tossed the umbrella aside, picked up Bonnie in his arms, and strode into the house.
As he did this, Bonnie struggled in his arms. "Let go of me! Let go of me, Jim! Go find your precious fiancee instead!" The more she struggled, the more blood seeped out of her wound.
However, it was as though she could not feel the pain.
On the other hand, perhaps the hurt that tormented her heart far surpassed any physical pain she could feel.
Bonnie clutched Christopher's arm, and after cursing Jim for a while, she started crying helplessly. "Jim, what’ll happen to m e after you leave me?
"I've already planned out our future together. I'm going to treat Harvey and Shelly like my own children.
"I've already planned to transfer all of the Craig family’s assets to your name to help your family tide over.
"I’ve planned out all of our future...but you've left me for another woman. You've left me..."
Bonnie sobbed, heartbroken.
Christopher tightened his grip around her.
Finally, he placed her on the sofa and inched closer to her, tilting her chin up as h e did so. "Bonnie! Open your eyes and see who I am!"
Christopher's voice was so loud that Bonnie lurched back to reality, and she finally lifted her head to peer at him carefully.
The man standing before her was handsome and gentle, and even though he was just as good-looking, this man was clearly not Jim.
Bonnie was a little dazed by this. "Chris... Christopher?"
What was he doing here?
The vision turned blurry, and so did her
thoughts.
All of a sudden, Jim's handsome, cold face appeared before her.
"Miss, I've already said what I wanted to, so please leave yourself some respect.”
Bonnie started to cry even harder.
Even though one year did not seem like a long time, she had poured herself entirely into this relationship.
She had taken care of his children like her own and did plenty of things that would make him happy.
The only thing she received in return? Jim's cold, heartless words.
