I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 944

Due to their close proximity, Ivor heard Bonnie's heartbeat getting louder, almost as if it was about to leap out of her chest. He smirked, leaned close to her ear, and gently exhaled warm breath into it.

"Bonnie, why is your heart beating so fast? What are you nervous about?"

Bonnie was already so embarrassed that her toes were curling. She tried to dodge as she shrunk her neck even more at the sensation of Ivor's breath tickling her ear.

While dodging, she accused him helplessly, "Ivor! I think you're doing this on purpose!"

Ivor's lips curved higher as he held her waist and kept her firmly in his arms, ensuring the wine in their glasses didn't spill. "On purpose? Bonnie, you can't wrongly accuse an innocent person. I just wanted to drink wine with you. You're the one getting too excited."

Bonnie rolled her eyes dramatically at him. She was about to retort when Ivor silenced her with his lips pressed firmly against hers.

"Mm—" She involuntarily let out a muffled moan and instinctively gripped his shirt.

They separated after a while, leaving Bonnie's eyes sparkling with a tiny layer of mist. Ivor was moved by a sudden surge of emotion and kissed her long lashes lightly,

Bonnie's lashes fluttered as she leaned into his chest to steady herself. Glancing at the wine still in her hand, she nudged his broad chest. "Are we going to drink this wine or not? If we keep messing around, it'll spill everywhere."

Ivor noticed Bonnie’s dazed expression and gently caressed her chin, lifting it slightly. "What are you thinking about?"

Bonnie snapped back to reality. She coughed lightly in embarrassment. "Nothing. Let’s drink the wine."

Knowing how shy Bonnie was about these things, Ivor decided not to push her. "Alright, let's drink the wine."

They held hands, looked into each other's eyes, and drained their glasses of wine.
