I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1394

His thoughtfulness warmed her heart.

"Okay. I'm not a child, though. You don't have to remind me all the time."

"Really?" Ivor raised his eyebrow leisurely. "You almost tripped and fell earlier, though."

Bonnie scoffed gently. "Can't you tell that's because you spooked me?"

Ivor’s lips curled into a grin. Then, he took a step closer to her all of a sudden. "Do I look that scary?"

He closed the distance between them swiftly. All of a sudden, Bonnie was staring at his profound eyes. She could even smell his masculine scent, which stirred something in her heart.

'I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but he's much more charming, now that we've been apart for some time. Everything he does makes my face turn red and my heart race. I tried very hard to suppress my feelings, but I just can't.’

Every heartbeat sounded louder than the last. It sounded like drums. It reverberated in her ears, making her deaf to other sounds.

Her heartbeat was all that she could hear. Ivor was the only person she could see. He was giving her affectionate glances the whole time.

Ivor looked at her reddened face, and his lips curled into a grin. Then, he took a step closer to Bonnie and reached out to hold her hand.

He whispered, "What's the matter, Bonnie? Are you enchanted by my looks?"

Bonnie came back to her senses and raised her head. Only then did she realize that they had walked past the backyard and gone into the house.

Things were completely different inside. As expected, the research institute was decorated similarly to her original research institute.

'It's like a spitting image of my original research institute. I'd say that it's perfectly recreated here. Toby has done an excellent job. It looks like he understood my instructions down to the last letter.

'Once this blows over, I can think about teaching him the research he has been yearning to learn. He has talked about it countless times, but I didn't agree with it because I think it's troublesome research.”

Ivor saw it, but he sensed that something was off from the conversation the researcher just had with Bonnie.
