Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy novel Chapter 1839

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.

“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…”
