Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua) 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.
