I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 755

Bonnie raised her brow at Ivor, asking, “Don’t you think it’ll be less fun if I tell you everything?”

Ivor chuckled. “Are you telling me you’re purposely stringing me along?”

“It’ll be more fun if you slowly dig up my secrets. What’s wrong? Aren’t you patient enough to learn about me?” Bonnie lifted her chin, her eyes filled with humor and mischief.

Ivor chuckled again and held her tighter. “It’s not about patience. It’s just how incredible you are. I fear someone else will try to steal you from me.”

Bonnie turned to look at him and asked, “Have you always had such a low opinion of yourself?”

“I’ve always felt unsure around you. I thought you knew that,” Ivor admitted.

“Here’s the thing.” Bonnie yanked his tie and stared into his eyes. “The man I fell in love with is the most incredible and excellent person on the planet. You’re the one who can say you’re my equal.

“We can support and improve each other, too. If you keep underestimating yourself, I might fall out of love with you.”

Ivor knew she said all that on purpose. It was Bonnie’s way of building his confidence in their relationship. He was thrilled and moved to hear her say such things.

Meanwhile, Ivor only sounded unconfident because he wanted her to soothe him. After all, he would not have become the family head if he constantly beat himself up over nothing, not to mention leading the family’s company to massive success.

“I understand, Bonnie. I’ll never repeat such words to upset you.”

Bonnie pretended to be mad and pouted. She said sternly, “I’ll hold you to it. If I catch you repeating those words, I’ll start ignoring you.”

“Okay, I swear not to repeat the same mistake.” Ivor smiled.

…

“If you know it’s last minute, why are you still here? How can you make it in time if you don’t leave now?” Ivor’s questioning made Floyd panic.

The latter spoke faster than usual, “Understood, Mr. Ivor! I’ll get on it now.”

…

Bonnie slept for a long while. It was already nighttime when she finally woke up and washed her face. “Ivor? Ivor!”

She called out to him several times but received no response.

‘That’s weird. I thought Ivor told me he’d wake me up once dinner’s ready.’
