I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1121

“It’s nothing major, Bonnie. If it were that severe, I wouldn’t be chatting with you on a video call,” Ivor said.

After some thought, Bonnie realized he had a point. “Okay, just don’t hide things from me. You don’t have to shoulder everything alone, y’know. I can share your burden. I don’t want you to sacrifice so much for me.”

“I understand.” Ivor smiled. “I always tell you the truth. I would never dare hide anything from my wife.”

Bonnie rolled her eyes. “You were so serious just now, but you’re back to being cheesy again.”

“How am I being cheesy?” Ivor said with a hint of amusement in his eyes. “I always speak the truth, but you consider me cheesy.”

“You should know the difference,” Bonnie said as she got comfortable, causing the camera to shake.

Ivor frowned when he noticed the unfamiliar background. “Honey, where are you? That doesn’t look like your room.”

Her heart dropped as she thought, ‘How’d he figure that out? Was it because I moved, and he saw something he shouldn’t have?’

She sighed helplessly. She thought she had everything under control but made a mistake instead.

When Ivor noticed her lack of response, he asked again, “Is your connection acting up? Did you hear me?”

Bonnie returned to her senses and cleared her throat. “Uh, yeah, the connection was a little shaky. I didn’t hear you just now. Can you repeat it?”

“Y-You want me to show you around?” Bonnie almost choked.

Ivor could tell something was off just by looking at her expression. He asked again, “Yeah, is that a problem?”

“What, no! Why would it be?” Bonnie tried her best to hide her guilt and had to continue pretending.

Ivor suggested, “Let’s end the video call first. Then, you can send me some photos.”

Bonnie thought, ‘I need to hang up now and tell Toby to send me pictures of his room. He’s the only one in the lab that has a room. I thought I could make random excuses to avoid making Ivor suspicious. I didn’t think he’d insist on seeing where I was staying.’
