NovelEnglishChapter 1868
Bonnie never had the chance to hold hands with Jim in public, not like he had with Charlotte.
Every time she brought up the topic of announcing their relationship publicly, Jim always pulled the this-
is for-your-own-good excuse to reject her.
At one point, Bonnie had started to think that Jim’s personality was the reason he did not like public
displays of affection, but their encounter in the elevator that morning made her realize something.
He did not mind displaying public acts of affection at all, the problem was who he was with.
“Hey gorgeous, what are you doing here all alone?” a leering man’s voice suddenly rang out next to
Bonnie’s ear.
Bonnie frowned and immediately opened her eyes.
A roguish man who seemed like a gangster stood before her, holding a piece of grass between his lips

With that, he inched closer to Bonnie, grinning from ear to ear. “I’m great at taking care of people,
especially in bed!”
The man’s tone and sound of his voice disgusted Bonnie.
If this had happened on a regular day, she would have stood up and left, ignoring him entirely.
At this moment, alas, she was a patient with a wound on her lower abdomen.
She could not even summon the strength to get up from the bench, much less get away from this
perfectly healthy man.
On top of that…
Her phone had been broken the day before during her encounter with Charlotte, and she had yet to buy
a new one. Therefore, if she left at this moment, Christopher would not be able to find her when he
returned, and he would surely panic.
Therefore, after weighing the risks and benefits, Bonnie decided to remain seated in her chair.
Seeing that Bonnie did not reject him, the gangster plopped down right next to her and gave her a
leering once-over. Finally, his gaze landed on her hand, which was placed over her belly, and he asked,
“What’s wrong with your tummy, gorgeous?”
Bonnie narrowed her eyes as she suddenly recalled what she had said to Christopher earlier about
how she looked pregnant when she kept her hand over her belly.
As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie curled her lips into a smirk and replied, “I’m pregnant.”
Jim, who had arrived at the scene just a few seconds earlier and was standing a few feet behind her,
overheard these two words.
He had already caught sight of Bonnie and the man sitting on the bench together from a distance, and
he entered the garden out of curiosity,
However, he never thought he would overhear Bonnie admitting that she was pregnant as soon as he

Bonnie, unaware that Jim was standing right behind her, was still thinking of ways to distract this man
who blatantly tried to take advantage of her.
The man frowned, glancing at Bonnie’s belly, and asked, “You’re pregnant?” “Yes.” Bonnie smiled and
lowered her head to glance at her belly, her hand stroking it slightly.
Because her abdomen was covered in layers of gauze and bandage, it appeared a little more bulging
than usual and resembled a baby bump.
“I’m already about four months along, and I don’t intend on getting rid of it.” With that, she lifted her
head t o grin at the man. “Sir, do you want to be a father?
“If you want…I’ll become your wife as soon as I give birth to this baby. How does that sound?”
The color drained from the man’s face. “Get away from me!” he shrieked before scampering away.
After the man left, Bonnie could not help letting out a snicker.
“Ms. Craig.”
Out of the blue, a low, cold voice rang out from behind her. “Have you been doing things like this
behind Christopher’s back all this while?”
