Chapter 103
Bonnie did not know how to respond while Jim took the coat from her, pouted, and drove off. It was not the first time Bonnie had put on a man’s coat, but the warmth from Ivor’s coat felt different
Before she could identify this unusual feeling, Ivor grabbed her hand and said, “Can I ask you something?”
“What is it?” Bonnie frowned, thinking he must have seen through her act earlier
Although Ivor was quiet for a moment, he seemed unwilling to let her hand go. He stared into her eyes and asked solemnly, “Have you ever fallen in love with anyone?” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Bonnie was stunned. She thought he was about to ask about Jim or her real identity as the nation! leading researcher. She asked, “What made you ask me that?”
“You have to answer me first since I was the one who asked first,”
“What kind of love are you talking about?” Bonnie was no fool and knew what he meant, but she could not resist questioning him.
“I mean the kind of love that compels you to be with Jim,” Ivor responded profoundly,
Bonnie raised her brow and said, “Oh, that’s what you mean, I thought you meant the not–so– serious kind of love.”
“What a mischievous young lady,‘ Ivor thought.
“Hmm, I’ve yet to love anyone that way since I’m always busy. My romantic life just isn’t part of my packed schedule. I’m not really into it, either. I think the single life suits me best.”
“Do you want to give it a shot?” Ivor looked at Bonnie humorously.
She turned to look at him, asking, “Give it a shot? Who am I supposed to fall in love with? Are you volunteering?”
He smiled. After all, this was not the time for a romantic confession. “Your birthday’s three days from now. You’ll get your answer then.”
Bonnie was about to resume walking when she heard what he said. Confused, she looked at him intently. “What are you going to do?”
“You’ll know soon enough.”
“What if I want to know about it now?” She had a hunch that Ivor would make some grand gesture on her birthday, which was the same day as Trina and Hadwin’s engagement party.
“I can tell you now, but you’ll have to do something for me in return.”
“What do I need to do?”
Ivor took Bonnie’s hand and guided it to his cheeks. “Kiss me, and you’ll have your answer.
Her lips twitched, and then she withdrew her hand, thinking it was a waste of time.
‘I would’ve been better off returning to my room and getting some sleep.
Ivor watched as she left. He could not resist bursting into laughter,
Bonnie heard his unbridled laughter and felt a chill down her spine. She then picked up her pace and entered the villa.
“Hahaha…” He laughed heartily again before trailing off into silence. After turning to look toward where Jim drove off, Ivor recalled what he said earlier. He was also very mindful of how Jim and
Bonnie Interacted.
‘If I remember correctly, Jim said Bonnie’s a crucial figure for our nation.‘
