“You can take care of yourself?” Bonnie followed his gaze, and when she caught sight of what he was
staring at, her expression darkened.
“This was an accident.”
Sean chuckled, a hint of contempt in his laughter.
Bonnie could not tell whether he was taunting her of her fragility or laughing at himself for his wishful
thinking.
He stood up and said, “Alright.
I understand, Bonnie.
I won’t disturb you ever again.”
Then, he turned and strode out the door.
“Sean!”
As soon as he pushed the door open, Nikki, who had been waiting outside patiently, lunged into his
arms, crying.
“Sean… I’m sorry! “I’ve reflected on my mistake, and I now understand I shouldn’t have done this to Ms.
Bonnie … “It’s just – I was so upset after what happened to me today that I…” Sean could not help
feeling a little annoyed at the sight of Nikki sobbing in his arms.
He glanced at her and replied, “Well, you shouldn’t have treated her like this no matter how upset you
were.
Is this how I raised you?” Tears brimmed in Nikki’s eyes.
“I’m sorry… I… I’ll go find Ms.
Bonnie now and beg for her forgiveness.
I…” “There’s no need.” Sean let out a sigh.
“She won’t accept that, and besides, she doesn’t hold this against you.
It’s just that…” He reached out and gently knocked on Nikki’s forehead teasingly.
“You don’t have to worry about her anymore.
She doesn’t like me, anyway, so you shouldn’t do this to her anymore in the future.” Nikki immediately
froze when she heard this.
She stared dazedly at Sean and asked, “What… What do you mean?” “Wasn’t that why you hated her
and kept trying to get on her nerves?” Sean curled his lips into a smirk.
“She rejected me just now, so you shouldn’t have to do this to her anymore in the future.” Then, he
turned and strode away.
Nikki remained motionless, staring at his retreating figure dazedly for a long time before finally
understanding what he meant. She bit her lip, glanced at Bonnie’s closed door, then at Sean’s retreating
figure, and finally chased after him. Bonnie closed her eyes EQ=EC'&123;I let out a bitter chuckle when she
heard their footsteps fade away. It was all her fault.
If she had not allowed Sean to get in between her and Jim, none of this would have happened… She
was not the only person saddened by how all this turned out. After all, she had treasured and treated
Sean like a brother she never had. “How’s it going?” Suddenly, Luna entered the room, glancing at
Bonnie in worry.
“I went to Jim just now to force him to come to see you.
Did he apologize to you?” Bonnie furrowed her brows upon hearing this.
“You…were the one who sent Jim here?” “Of course.” Luna pursed her lips slightly.
“God knows why, but it turns out the reason he left you in the car was that he went all the way to the
airport to stop an eighty-year-old man from boarding his plane so that he could get a name list from him.”
Bonnie frowned.
“This man… Do you know what his name is?” Luna pursed her lips again.
“His name is Paul Duncan.
Why? Do you know him?” Paul Duncan… Bonnie bit her lip.
If she remembered correctly, this was the man who owned the orphanage she grew up in.
Mr. Duncan. The name list Jim had asked from him… Bonnie widened her eyes in sudden realization.
