Chapter 2190 Bonnie shot Jim a puzzled look, then finally sighed and held June closer to her as she walked up the stairwell, followed by Jim. Even though they did not manage to find Charlotte, they had at least found June.
Bonnie gently stroked June’s bald head and chuckled.
“I bought you lots of hats, some of them with wigs attached. Haven’t you always wanted to change your hairstyle frequently? Well, when we get home, you can finally fulfill your wishes of changing your hairstyle every day!”
The sound of Bonnie’s gentle voice made June’s trembling body stiffen.
A split second later, she lifted her head to stare at Bonnie with wide, shiny eyes. “How many?”
Bonnie felt her heart soften at this sight. This was a six-year-old girl, after all. Even after she was treated terribly and wounded all over, she still could not suppress her curiosity and asked how many hairstyles she could get. How could one possibly not love such an adorable little girl?
“More than you can count,” Bonnie said reassuringly as they continued walking.
“Harvey and I chose more than ten hats for you, and he told me that you’d look beautiful in every one of them. He can’t wait to see you in them!” June nodded.
“Okay! I’ll go home and try them on for Harvey…”
Following behind them, Jim’s heart softened when he saw how hard Bonnie was trying to console June.
He could not help…finding her endearing at times.
For example, the memory he had recalled of her sitting on his lap and reassuring him about his fear of the dark
Another instance was this exact moment of her consoling June.
It was no wonder that both Sean and Christopher had fallen for her, and no wonder he himself had dated her before losing his memories.
“Come with me. and I’ll help you bandage your arms.” June froze, then instinctively glanced at Bonnie.
She did not trust anyone after what she had been through, except for Bonnie. Bonnie glanced at Gwen, then at the soft-spoken man standing before her, and nodded.
“You can go with him. He’s with Aunt Gwen, so he’s not a bad guy.” June bit her lip, glanced at the man once more, then finally nodded and allowed him to take her away.
After June left, Quentin glanced coldly at the two servants that had been brought out of the dungeon by Jim and finally lifted his head to meet Jim’s gaze.
“Didn’t you say you were going in to find Charlotte? Why did you kidnap my servants instead?
“Are you here to claim my servants as yours, Mr. Landry?” Bonnie furrowed her brows upon hearing this and shot Quentin a cold look. “Mr. Simms, I’ve always known you were a malicious man, but I seem to have underestimated you.
“One of these servants claimed to be your daughter and that you were the one who tormented her and ruined her face! How can you do this to her?”
