Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy novel Chapter 2003

Chapter 2003

“We…” 

Before Charlotte could even finish her sentence, the driver quickly pressed a button, lowering, the partition between the front and back seats.

The back seat was entirely separated and concealed from the front of the car,

Charlotte stared at the partition board and silently cursed the driver. Did he think he was being thoughtful? She was just using him as an excuse!

She had not anticipated that the driver would literally take the hint.

Jim could not help letting out a chuckle when he saw Charlotte staring dazedly at the partition board. “Well, we can now.”

He reached out once more and tried to pull open her collar.

It was not because he wanted to take a look at her birthmark, but…

He had seen Charlotte’s bare shoulder before, and he did not recall seeing anything there.

It was rather out of the blue, even, that he recalled that Number-9 had told him about her birthmark in the past.

Therefore, he wanted to double confirm if this was true.

However, Charlotte clung to her shirt, refusing to relent. “There-There’s nothing to see. That birthmark is…hideous! Don’t look at it!”

With that, she held both ends of her collar close together, concealing every inch of her bare neck and skin. “Jim, I’m a bit tired now, and I don’t feel like playing this game with you.”

Jim narrowed his eyes and glanced at her left shoulder. “Alright. I’m a bit tired too.”

Truth be told, he had deliberately misspoken about an important detail; the birthmark was supposed to be on the right, not the left shoulder.

Meanwhile, at Landry Mansion, Bonnie had changed into her pajamas and was trying to put Shelly to sleep in the bedroom.

It was almost summer at this point, and for some reason, there was no air-conditioning in the small house they were staying in.

Bonnie wondered if Jim had turned off the air-conditioner on purpose, and initially, Harvey had wanted to confront his father about this, but Bonnie stopped him before he could do so.

She knew that Jim was not around, and it was just going to be a night; they would get through it just fine

However, she never thought that the night would only grow hotter from that point.

In the end, she changed into a thin camisole to tide her through the heat as she sang a lullaby for Shelly.

After all, Sean was supposed to be sleeping in the small room outside hers, and only Harvey and Shelly would be staying in the same room with her, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

Staring at Bonnie and Shelly, Harvey’s attention was immediately grabbed by a rose tattoo on Bonnie’s right shoulder. “I never thought you’d be the type to get a tattoo, Bonnie.” Bonnie froze, then chuckled. “I got it just to conceal a birthmark on my shoulder.”
