Chapter 1998
Meanwhile, at Landry Mansion, Charlotte was sitting on the sofa in the living room with tears streaming down her cheeks.
“Tell me the truth, Jim: Are you starting to hate me now because you think Ms. Bonnie is prettier than I am?” She stroked her face as she cried. “If I hadn’t fallen for Heather’s trick and got trapped in that fire, my face wouldn’t even look like this today. After alị, i used to be considered pretty too, before my accident ruined my face!
“But now, I’ve become nothing but an ugly hag in your son’s eyes…”
Her voice started to shake as she sobbed, “Even if you change your mind about marrying me, Jim, I won’t blame you. After all, men can’t keep their promises, and you’re a man, too.
“I shouldn’t have thought you were different; I shouldn’t have thought you would keep your promise to me that you made so many years ago when we were young…
“It’s okay, Jim. Even if you want to break up with me, I won’t blame you.”
Jim let out a sigh when he heard this, walked over to Charlotte, and pulled her into an embrace. “What on earth are you talking about, Charlotte? Since when did I say I want to break up with you? Since when did I say I’m going to break my promise?”
Charlotte cried even harder when she heard this. “But you allowed Bonnie to move into Landry Mansion, and you kicked me out…
“The two of your children love Bonnie more than me, and as soon as I leave, the four of you will become a happy little family. I’m just a nobody…”
Jim let out a sigh and grabbed hold of Charlotte’s chin, forcing her to stare at him. “Why would you think that, Charlotte? Don’t you know that as soon as I laid eyes on you, I made up my mind that I’d marry no one but you?”
A glimmer of triumph flashed through her eyes when she heard this.
