I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1190

"Really?" Ivor didn't trust her fully.

'I'm happy to be able to talk to Bonnie on the phone, but I can't shake the feeling that something is off. I couldn't have dismissed it if I tried.'

"Yeah. Do you think I would've lied to you over something so insignificant?" Bonnie's voice was very calm and unfazed.

He remained quiet for a moment and put up a small request.

"Can you ask him to say hello to me, then? I'm the science prodigy's husband. Your new researchers should know who I am. Otherwise, he might not recognize me when I visit your research institute in the future.”

'What on earth is he playing at?' Bonnie thought to herself, 'I'll have to ask Collin to pretend to be the new researcher and have him introduce himself to Ivor.

'After all, Collin deserves it. He's the one who accidentally laughed. Why else would Ivor become suspicious?'

She cleared her throat and pretended as if there was someone next to her. She said, "Did you hear that, Allen? Come over quickly and say hello to Ivor."

Collin had already wiped the smile off his face. He adopted a respectful attitude immediately and talked to Ivor on the phone.

"G-Greetings, Mr. Ivor."

"Mm-hmm." He responded dryly. Then, he asked, "Are you one of the new staff at Bonnie's new research institute? When were you hired? Also, where's the place located?"

'Why would he ask such detailed questions? He should've asked me about it, not my researcher. Dang it. I've underestimated how meticulous he can be!'

"Isn't this what I'm asking him now? I'll only know the answer after he answers me. After all, I'm not with you now. I can only relax after my questions are answered." Ivor asked leisurely. "You don't mind, do you, honey?"

Bonnie heard what he said and fell into deep thought.

'Ivor's very good at speaking. If I tell him that I do mind, then it's going to rouse his suspicion more. He just might become so worked up that and takes a flight back to Pyralis and checks on me.

'I'm giving him this call to calm him down, so he can focus on his work overseas. I certainly don't want to unnerve him.'

At the thought of it, her tone grew softer when she spoke.
