I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1194

"I have to know the purpose of your question before I can give you an answer." Ivor's tone carried a hint of humor.

Bonnie rolled her eyes again and said, "There you go with your smart mouth again. Are you going to tell me? I'm going to hang up now if you don't."

"Don't hang up, Bonnie."

Ivor was worried that she might end the call for real and stopped her at once. It had been so long since he heard her voice. Naturally, he wanted to talk to her longer.

She pretended to be upset. "Well, you're the one not answering my question."

Rubbing his eyebrows, he sighed helplessly. "Things got a little complicated here. So, I have no idea how much longer it's going to take until I can go back to Pyralis and be with you."

She could hear the helplessness in his voice. A hint of concern flashed in her eyes. "Didn't you say you ran into some tricky issues? Are you still struggling with the same problem? Just lay it on me, and I'll see if I can help you."

'I know I'm in Yale right now, but I have a vast, strong social network. All he has to do is ask for my help, and I'll use every connection at my disposal to resolve the issue he's facing!'

"It's okay, Bonnie. I can handle it myself." Ivor heard the concern in her voice and felt a warmth rising in his chest.

"It is indeed a tricky issue, but it's not a big deal. It's just that I have to spend more time to deal with it. All I have to do now is wait for the perfect opportunity and the issue will be resolved."

'Once he got the chip, the whole thing will be over. Then, I'll be able to fly back to Pyralis to keep Bonnie company. As for how long it's going to take… Well, I'm not too sure about that. All I can do now is wait for Mr. Boyd’s update.’

He relaxed his tone when he spoke next, "I'm only on a work trip. So, these are just squabbles with my colleagues. It won't come close to any life-threatening situations. You don't have to worry about me, Bonnie."

"It's hard to predict what people think. You're so far from home, too. It pays to tread more carefully. You can't afford to be careless, Ivor." She could tell that he was safe from his confident tone.

However, she still felt a little worried. So, she couldn't help but remind him of it again.

"You got it, Bonnie. I'll stay safe. You also must take good care of yourself back home. Wait for me. I'll be home before you know it." Ivor's tone was filled with affection as he spoke.

'How I wish I could fly back to her side and give her a big hug. However, I can't do that with my current circumstances.

'All I can do is wait…"
