Chapter 2136 Bonnie stared dazedly at the man kneeling before her.
Sean’s eves were glossed with earnestness, as though every single word out of his mouth came after careful
consideration.
Maybe other women would feel nothing but happiness when a young, handsome, and responsible man said
something like this to them, but at this moment, all Bonnie felt was guilt, helplessness, and fear. She was guilty
because she knew she should not have dragged Sean into the drama between her and Jim, and she should not
have given him the wrong impression. She felt helpless because no matter how well Sean treated her, she knew
she would never be able to fall for anyone else apart from Jim.
Finally, she was scared.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was scared that Sean would never be able to move on from her.
If that happened, it would only add to her guilt and regret toward him. “Bonnie.” Sean curled his lips into a bitter
smile when he saw Bonnie staring at him in silence. “You don’t want to be with me, do you? “I can tell that the only
person you love is Jim, but I still want to stay by your side to protect you. “I never want to see what happened
today, when you got locked in Jim’s car, happen again in the future.” Then, he lifted his head to stare earnestly at
Bonnie. “I don’t need you to give me an answer right now.
O
“I’m willing to wait as long as it takes for you to give me a chance to be with you.”
Sean thought that as long as he stayed by Bonnie’s side to prove his love, she would eventually come around to
him. Besides, even if she did not agree to be with him in the future, he would still be content with being able to keep
her safe.
Bonnie rubbed her brows in exhaustion upon hearing this. A split second later, she lifted her head to meet Sean’s
gaze. “I admire you, Sean, but this isn’t love, and I’ll never pass on this feeling as love toward you. “I’m willing to
remain friends…but I think we’d better keep our distance from now on.” She let out an exhale and continued, “Even
though I’ve already given up on Jim…I still won’t put myself out there, not at least for a few more years.”
Perhaps it would only be a few years, but perhaps…it would be forever.
Maybe it was never written in her fate to find someone she could spend the rest of her life with.
While she was together with Jason, she thought their relationship would last till the end of their days, but everything
turned out to be a disaster. When she was with Jim, she thought he was her one true love, but in the end… Her one
true love rejected and refused to be with her, even after knowing Charlotte had been lying to him and that she was
Harvey’s birth mother. Bonnie did not dare to trust anyone again after this.

herself to entrust her life to him.
Sean was silent for a long time after hearing this.
A split second later, he curled his lips into a self-deprecating smile and said, “You’re not even willing to give me a
chance to be Jim’s rebound?” Bonnie curled her lips into a smile. “I’m very sorry for what happened to Nikki today.
In the future, I will get in touch with her, and if she needs any help, she can always come to me directly. “I’m more
than grateful for you rescuing me today, but…” She let out an exhale. “I think we should stop seeing each other
from now on.” She did not want to give Sean any false hope, nor did she want to waste any of his time. Even
though it was cruel to cut him off just like this, she knew this was the best way to make him forget about her and
live his life happily. Sean let out a bitter chuckle when he heard this. “Are you going to be so cruel, Bonnie? I’ve
already told you I’ll be content even if my only role will be to protect you…” “I can protect myself,” Bonnie
interjected curtly. “I’m not a child.” Sean lifted his head to glance at the cannula placed in the back of her hand,
which was connected to her IV drip.
