Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy Chapter 1839

Jim furrowed his brows as he glanced at Charlotte. “Haven’t you always hated mutton?”

He remembered as clear as day that this was why Number-9 and Number-12 became close friends.
Number-9 hated mutton, but unfortunately for her, the orphanage served it for their meals quite often,
which was why she became friends with Number-12, who loved mutton and was willing to give out her
vegetables and bread in exchange for mutton.

At that time, Jim had puzzled over this and even asked Number-9 why she was willing to give out her
meat in exchange for vegetables and bread. It was clear to anyone that this was not a fair trade at all.

However, at that time, she had told him with a smile that since she did not need it, she was willing to
sacrifice herself and give it to someone else who needed it more than her.

Because of this, Jim had fallen in love with this young girl’s cheerful and caring attitude and had kept
the memory of her close to his heart despite only having lived at the orphanage for a month.

As soon as he grew up, he returned to the same orphanage to bring this girl home, but…

Why did Charlotte suddenly grow to love the food she used to hate, whereas Roanne was the opposite?

“People’s tastes change.” Charlotte lowered her head and sighed as she started eating. “Six years ago,
both Roanne and I were tricked by Heather and locked in a warehouse where she set fire to both of us.

“Even though we managed to survive it…both our tastes and habits have changed as a result of that
trauma.”

With that, Charlotte sniffed and added in a choking voice, “I don’t want to recall those traumatic
memories.



“If Heather hadn’t died, neither I nor Roanne would even dare to return to Merchant City.

“If she were still alive, we know that we’d fall prey to her deceiving ways once more as soon as we
return.”

Tears slid down Charlotte’s face as she continued, “However, I never thought that…Aunty Rosalyn would
give Heather the keys to her warehouse and allow her access to all her drugs…

“If Heather hadn’t used the drugs in the warehouse on you and caused you to lose your memory…you
wouldn’t have ended up like this…”

When he noticed Charlotte’s tearful expression, Jim sighed and decided to let this topic go. He picked up
another piece of mutton and placed it on her plate. “I pity the suffering you’ve had to go through all these
years. Since you love it now, you should eat more.”

Charlotte sniffed and nodded. Then, she bit her lip and asked, “Jim…can you forgive me for what I did
this afternoon?”

She lifted her head to stare at him with her tearful, earnest gaze. “The reason I followed you this
afternoon …Was that I was too worried about you.

“I was afraid that someone would take advantage of your lost memories and spread false rumors about
m e..and make you think I had been with someone else during our six years apart.”

She sniffed and continued in a choking voice, “However, I’ve reflected on my mistakes, and it was indeed
my fault; I shouldn’t have mistrusted you at all.

“Even if someone were to use your lost memories against you, I’m sure you would’ve been able to figure
it out and take care of it yourself.

*It was all my fault…”



Jim let out a sigh when he heard this, and his furrowed brows began to relax. He lifted his head to gently
stroke Charlotte’s hair and said, “You dummy.”

However, he had to admit that Charlotte was right. Someone had indeed used this to her advantage to
get him to believe that he was with another woman.

This despicable person was none other than his best friend’s girlfriend.

As soon as he thought of this, Jim suddenly understood Charlotte’s concern. He let out a helpless
chuckle and said, “Well, I can’t say I did nothing wrong this afternoon.”

If he had understood Charlotte’s feelings earlier, he would not have deliberately caused an accident that
led to her being stuck in the rain all day.

As soon as he thought of this, a glimmer of guilt flashed through Jim’s eyes.

Charlotte cared so much about him, but he had misunderstood her and punished her, thinking she was
trying to invade his privacy. Jim lowered his voice as he stared straight into Charlotte’s eyes, saying,
“Don’t worry.”
