Chapter 2150
Jim lifted his head to stare in the direction of the stairs and called out, “What did you add to the soup?”
Bonnie froze in her steps, then came back downstairs. She shot him a strange look and replied, “Oat milk.”
Then, she turned her head away from him and added, “I’m lactose intolerant, so I can’t drink dairy, and besides, I just moved back here today, so unfortunately, I don’t have any milk in the fridge.
“According to the original recipe, I’m supposed to add milk into the soup, but because I don’t have any, I put in some of my usual oat milk instead.”
She paused for a moment before saying, “Even though oat milk and cow’s milk are very different, they’re both rich in protein, and this brand of oat milk doesn’t taste bad either.”
She pursed her lips slightly.
“Besides, this isn’t the first time you tasted it. You drank it before losing your memories, and you even said it tasted good. What’s wrong? Why don’t you like it anymore?”
Jim narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
He did not know whether before losing his memories, he had noticed this detail or not, but the fact of the matter was, he noticed it at this very minute.
This oat milk…was the exact same taste as the kind of milk Number-9 had offered him before! Perhaps it was because he had lost so much of his memories, Jim could not help being even more in tune with his remaining memories than he was in the past.
Therefore, he remembered the taste of the oat milk as though it was yesterday.
He recalled that Number-9 would always give the juiciest, most delicious parts of her meal to the other children, including Number-12, and left only bread and vegetables for herself.
Despite this, every time she helped the workers clean up, she would pick up the empty bottles and use this to ‘bribe’ one of the workers to buy her a very specific brand of oat milk she liked.
Because he and Number-9 had been close, she had given him one of her beloved bottles of oat milk as a gift.
Jim had treasured this bottle of oat milk beyond measure EXN)W\qI refused to finish it in one go, instead spreading it over the course of a few days.
Every time he drank it, he would take a small, tentative sip to savor it because he was worried that if he finished it too soon, he would forget what it tasted like. In the end…he was admitted to a hospital due to food poisoning from drinking spoiled milk.

The readers' comments on the novel: Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua)
Luna is sooo stupid!...
This story line is sickening… her children, Nellie in particular, do not like Malcolm. She is already married to Joshua, the father of her children who loves her more than Malcolm ever could. Just disgusting....
Another “misunderstanding”…… poor Luna, why can’t she just say the Quinns kidnapped me instead of assuming Joshua is doing the wrong thing. Terrible....
I sure hope Aura gets arrested and pays for her many crimes soon, along with Adrian and Michael. Joshua and Luna need peace with their children....
Joshua is stupid, he says he loves Luna but refuses to tell her the truth thinking he can never recover from all the deceit, if he told the truth he could redeem himself and live a happy life with his family rather than continue to protect a bunch of evil criminals. Terrible decisions by a man who is smart enough to run a multi faceted company....
Omg this author is twisted!! When does Luna catch a break! This is awful. Aurasnd Fiona are evil, evil women and are using the children to commit their crimes 🤬...
And now the author has made it sound like he cares more for Fiona who he has only known a couple of weeks than Luna, his wife, the love of his life. Stupid and pathetically disgusting....
Wow, making Joshua out to be so stupid, ugh. Yes he told this horrible bitch he would accompany her until she died, but she lied about her fake illness so I guess he’ll have to live with her forever! He also promised to love, honor and cherish his wife Luna however seems to forget that with each passing malicious mistress, Aura, Alice and now Fiona. Awful. Let’s get past this into some storyline that involves some happiness for Luna… the only woman who truly cares for and loves him. Get rid of Fiona, soon....
So disgusted with this Fiona storyline, hope it doesn’t last much longer. Joshua told her when they made the deal he had someone in his heart and would not sleep with her. They could be faking a relationship and he doesn’t have to be so nasty to Luna and the kids. It’s heartbreaking and giving him another ridiculous relationship is unnecessary. Just makes more misunderstandings for Luna and harder for her to forgive him....
Joshua is in the wrong, even if Fiona asked him to keep their fake relationship a secret he should have told Luna what was going on. After all, supposedly he lives Luna and the children and is doing this for them. Being deceiving is not working for him....
