I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1172

“I have a subtle feeling Toby prepared that story.” Ivor could not explain why, but that was what he felt. It bugged him throughout his conversation with Toby. It was so intense that Ivor could not shake it off.

“What do you mean?” Floyd was puzzled.

After some thought, Ivor answered, “He sounded too cautious. People usually speak casually instead of how he just sounded.”

Floyd thought nothing was wrong with that, saying, “Maybe he was just nervous that you suddenly called him. He could’ve been telling you the truth all along.”

“Are you sure?” Ivor relaxed slightly but still felt somewhat uneasy. He could not explain it, either.

Floyd devised an idea for his boss, “That was just my opinion on it, Mr. Ivor. If you’re still worried, you should pressure Toby to ask your wife to call you once he reaches the research institute.

“I know Ms. Bonnie is occupied with her research, but I’m willing to bet a harmless phone call won’t bother her.”

Ivor nodded in approval. “All right, I’ll ask him to tell Bonnie to call me if she can.”

…

In just a few seconds, someone answered, “Hello? Who’s calling?”

Toby was hesitant for a moment. He composed himself and asked, “Excuse me, but do you know who Bonnie is, by any chance?”

He did well not to mention Bonnie’s identity as Bonita before knowing who Collin was. The last thing Toby wanted was to get Bonnie and himself into unnecessary trouble. That said, she was the one who gave Toby that number.

Collin could not help but become alert when he heard Bonnie’s name. He kept his guard up, asking, “Who are you, and how do you know her?”
