I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard )
Chapter 1391

"Did you really remember him to this day because he was enthusiastic when you guys spoke on the phone? I didn't think you'd be into that."

Ivor's lips twitched in response.

Then, he looked at her, and his eyes gradually looked different. "Don't you know best what I like, Bonnie?"

Bonnie met his gaze and couldn't help but tremble.

Ivor looked so eager, as if he could eat her up at any given moment. His eyes were filled with so much craving that his eagerness was starting to seep into her. Her body couldn't help but burn up.

Bonnie's heart started pounding like crazy all of a sudden. Then, she avoided his gaze uneasily.

'It hadn't been that long since I last saw Ivor. Not only was he smart-mouthed now, but his eyes are brimming with flirtation. I'm having some trouble dealing with him.'

Ivor saw her expression, and his lips curled into a grin. Then, he pretended to be innocent and asked, "What's wrong, Bonnie? Is your throat feeling funny?"

Bonnie knew he was asking the obvious question. So, she rolled her eyes at him.

"Wouldn't you know what I'm feeling?"

Ivor continued to feign innocence.

"I saw that you're coughing. So, I thought there was something wrong with your throat. Did I misunderstand you? If I did, then please tell me, honey. What's bothering you? Ivor sounded exceptionally flirtatious whenever he uttered the word "honey." What was more, his charming voice made her ears heat up.

Bonnie raised her hand to touch her searing ears. A hint of redness crept up her cheeks.

"Just stop talking..."

'I can't believe how forthright and bold he is, even though there are so many people here. I have no idea what to say to him. I'm not as thick-skinned as he is.

'We might've been married for a long time, but I just can't get used to his smart mouth and the way he flirts with me.'

Ivor heard what she said, and his smile grew wider. Then, he took a step closer to her.

"What's wrong, honey? Why would you ask me to stop talking?"

Bonnie instinctively took a step back when he approached her.

To her surprise, she accidentally stepped on a sagging rock, and her body leaned backward.

Bonnie steadied herself quickly. She raised her head and was about to say something, but a pair of warm hands held her by the waist immediately.

Then, she heard Ivor's charming voice.

"Are you okay, Bonnie? Did you get hurt?"

Bonnie felt the hands on her waist and felt uneasy for some reason. She reached out and took his hands off of her.

"I'm fine..."

To her surprise, Ivor held her hand at the next moment.

"The ground is uneven here. It's easy to trip and fall. I'm holding your hand so you won't have to worry about it happening again."
