Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy novel Chapter 2148

Chapter 2148
As soon as Jim finished his sentence, the entire room fell silent.

Pin-drop silence.

Bonnie held her breath and stared at Jim, feeling as though all the cells in her body had frozen.

Her mind had stopped turning, she could not utter a single word, and she felt as though her heart had skipped a few beats..

She bit her lip and stared dazedly at the painting on the wall in front of her.

This was a painting that she and Jim had bought from a street painter that they encountered on their trip six months ago.

It was a drawing of her and Jim, standing side-by-side on a bridge by the seaside, watching the sunset.
They had not known that the artist was painting them, and it was only after they finished watching the sunset that the artist ambled over to them and showed them the painting, claiming that he could not resist recording this magical moment in his art.
At that time, the artist had wanted to gift this painting to them to show his gratitude for being able to capture such a beautiful scene.
However, Jim insisted on paying him for his work, and in the end, he had shoved a check into the artist’s hands.
The check was written for a large sum of money because Jim had prepared this money in advance for his business meeting.
When the artist finally left, Bonnie had even shot him a disapproving glare since the artist was not a famous painter, and she did not think it was worth it to pay him so much money.
However, Jim smiled and pulled her into his arms.

“It’s not about the money… It’s about the fact that he had complimented us and even captured this moment in his art.

To me, this is worth far more than any amount of money I can give.”
Even until present, Bonnie still remembered his every word.
At this moment, she was staring at the painting as she felt Jim’s breath on her skin.

A split second later, she let out an exhale, regained her composure, and shoved Jim away.” This isn’t funny.”
If the person hugging her was the old Jim, the man who would put her before anything else, she would be touched by his words, but he was not.

To Bonnie, the only thing these two men had in common was their shared looks, but they were two different entities.
He was not the old Jim she knew.
If Jim had proposed to her like this in the past, she would have been touched, but at this moment…
She could not help feeling like he was mocking her.
