I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1396

Back in his Maybach, Ivor and Bonnie's fingers remained clasped.

"Should we go to my place, Bonnie? Or, should we head to Grandpa's place?"

Bonnie responded without a second thought, "We're going to Grandpa's place, of course… It's been a long time since I've seen him.

"Now that you're back, I'm going to seize the opportunity and pay him a visit."

"So, you are aware of the fact that you haven't been seeing him for a long time." Ivor's voice was thick with playfulness. "I wasn't in the country, and you did drop by to see him. He must've been very lonely all this time."

That was indeed Bonnie's fault. She rubbed her nose in guilt.

"I'll make sure to keep him company the next time you're away. I can't do it this time because my research sucked away all the time I have."

Ivor’s grip on her hand tightened.

"I'll try my best to stay with you guys in the future. I won't leave you alone again."

'I stayed in Yale for a long time because I had to borrow the chip from the Nidhoggs. It's a good thing that everything worked out well there. Otherwise, I might’ve left everything behind and come back home to be with Bonnie.

'The chip might've been important, but it isn't an integral part of my life. Bonnie and my family are the parts of my life that I can't live without.'

"You're right. Grandpa is getting old. We should keep him company whenever we can." What Bonnie said wasn't just for Ivor's ears. It was also a reminder for herself.

'I might be busy with my life, but I have to make some time for Grandpa. After all, he's getting older. We're getting less and less time with him as time goes by.'

"Yeah. Grandpa might not have said anything, but he's actually quite lonely when he‘s in the villa by himself."

Ivor recalled how overjoyed Sigmund was to see him. He couldn't help but feel heartbroken about it.

Bonnie squeezed his hand. "Sure."

Sigmund was sitting in the living room. He was thinking about the moment Ivor left and was a little distracted in his chess game.

Alfred was keeping Sigmund company when he saw something out of the corner of his eyes. He said hurriedly, "Look over there, Mr. Sigmund!"

"What is it?" Sigmund instinctively followed Alfred's gaze and looked.

The moment he saw Ivor and Bonnie, who came inside holding hands, he put down the chess piece and stood up from the couch.

"You're finally back home with Ivor, Bonnie! Have you been busy with your research recently?

"Look at you! You're exhausted. You even got a lot skinnier. I'm going to ask the kitchen to prepare you some delicious food!"
