I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 870

Avril sighed and smiled. “When did you become so superstitious? That eyelid-twitching thing isn’t scientific. There’s a chance you strained them. You’ll feel better after some rest.”

Typically, Bonnie would not be so superstitious, but what happened with Andreas had thrown her for a loop. She had a sinking feeling in her gut, too. No matter what she did, she could not help but feel something terrible would happen.

She recomposed herself and rubbed her eyes again before responding to Avril, “It’s better to believe in such things than let it surprise me. Sometimes, not even science can explain everything.”

Suddenly, Bonnie gleamed as she thought of something.

“Avril, do you have time this afternoon? Can you come with me?”

“I’ll always make time for you,” Avril replied. Then, she realized Bonnie looked somewhat worked up and could not help but ask, “Where are we going? Is it someplace dangerous? If that’s the case, I’ll have to decline.

“Not only will I be useless, but I’ll also get in the way. Your enemies will use me as a ball and chain.”

Bonnie was astounded when she heard Avril’s dramatic words. The former questioned, “Do you think I’d bring you somewhere dangerous when I know you can’t fight?”

Avril chuckled before darting at Bonnie and taking her arm. “It was just a joke. I didn’t mean what I said.”

After some thought, Avril said, “You should tell Andreas the truth. Ivor’s anger is so horrifying that I think breaking Andreas’s heart is better.”

“That settles it.” Bonnie did not want to make herself more anxious and was content with her decision. “I’ll deal with it by telling Andreas how I feel. Then, the whole thing will end once he returns to Zudale. You know I’m counting on you to keep this a secret from Ivor, right?”

“Of course I do, but there’s something I don’t understand,” Avril said as she sat beside Bonnie, “Why don’t you solve it yourself instead of asking me to go with you? Aren’t you worried I’ll be the third wheel?”

Bonnie nodded. “Exactly! I’m depending on you to be just that.”
