Chapter 2054
Bonnie asked in a low voice, frowning, as soon as Jim left, “What’s going on with Roanne now?
Jim and Charlotte both thought that Roanne had kidnapped Shelly, but Bonnie knew that Shelly was, in fact, safe
and sound at Joshua’s house, playing with the rest of the children.
This was why she had appeared so calm when Jim brought up Roanne and could even ask Theo about her.
Theo let out an awkward cough. “I’m not too sure either. She told me to send her some food and children’s things,
so I did.
“However, she didn’t let me enter the room and told me to leave as soon as I dropped the stuff she wanted off.”
He let out a sigh and lifted his head to shoot Bonnie a puzzled glance. “Isn’t Shelly at Joshua’s house now? If so, why
did Roanne still ask me to bring her children’s supplies? Who does she have with her now?”
Bonnie shrugged. “I have no idea.”

go home?”
Even though she had gone back to Landry Mansion with Sean, she was only there to pack her things; she would be
staying at Joshua’s place that night.
Sean, on the other hand, insisted on returning to his own home every night, no matter how late he ended up
working.
Bonnie had heard that he had an ill sister at home he needed to take care of, and that was why Sean needed to
return every night.
Howeyer…
Bonnie could not help frowning as she stared at Sean’s bruised, swollen face.
Sean’s sister would surely probably be more worried when she saw him like this instead of him not returning for one
night, no?
Sean had clearly thought of this beforehand. He fell silent for a moment, then glanced at himself in the rearview
mirror.
His face was so bruised and swollen that he could not even bear to look at himself.
Even though the doctor had tried his best to help him, it was still hard to hide his injuries.
If he were to go home like this, Nikki would think he was bullied.
However, he could not stay out and leave her alone…
Sean remained silent for a long time, frowning, then finally turned to meet Bonnie’s gaze. ” Ms. Craig, can you help
me with something?”
Bonnie turned to him, frowning. “What is it?”
“I still want to go back home. I can’t rest in peace unless I see my sister, and I know she feels the same, so…” He
let out a sigh and said somewhat sheepishly, “Can you follow me home so that when she asks, I can tell her I ended
up like this because I was trying to protect you?”

Bonnie furrowed her brows as she took the money from him, still warm from being in Sean’s pocket. “Even though
we haven’t known each other for very long, you don’t have to pay me to help you, Sean.”
Besides, Sean would know she did not need his money; she was so well-off that it almost bordered on insult to offer
her money.
Sean froze, then shook his head, blushing. “Ms. Bonnie, I’m not giving you money to help me.
I just.”
He fell silent for a moment, then lifted his head to meet her gaze. “When we arrive at my house later, I want you to
give me this money in front of my sister as though you’re rewarding me for my help.
“That way, no matter how worried she is for me, she’ll be reassured to know that I had received a reward for my
bravery.”
Bonnie’s entire body stiffened when she heard this. She lowered her head to stare at the money, then gazed back
at Sean.
A surge of warmth spread through her heart. She sighed and closed her fist around the dollar bills. “Alright.”
