I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 1040

Bonnie gave him a sharp look without hesitation. "Don't talk nonsense. He's not that kind of person."

Although she often teased Ivor with similar remarks at home, she trusted his character completely. Those words were just jokes. She never believed Ivor would betray her or seek out other women.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Collin shook his head and commented, "You're a husband protector."Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Bonnie lifted her chin, her expression filled with pride and confidence. "Of course. If I don't protect my own man, should I expect you to?"

Collin waved his hands frantically, "No, no, I wouldn't dare think that."

After all, someone as capable as Mr. Ivor wouldn't need his protection. He understood that Bonnie's words were just a retort. But truthfully, he didn't dare think that way.

Bonnie gave him another sharp look. "Shut up. Listening to you gives me a headache."

Collin chuckled awkwardly and mimed zipping his lips.

Bonnie took out her phone from the drawer. "I need to call him and see if he's facing any difficulties. Maybe there's something I can help with."

'Ivor always wanted to bear it himself by keeping everything inside, no matter what he encountered. I need to ask him. Otherwise, he would never tell me!'

"Someone as impressive as Mr. Ivor probably wouldn't encounter anything he couldn't handle, right? Maybe he's just too busy to call you." Collin tried to comfort her, seeing the worry etched on her face.

Bonnie suddenly remembered how Ivor used to compress his work schedule to return to her as soon as possible during business trips.

"Being too busy is a possibility, but I'll call him to make sure. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease."

"Do you need me to leave?" Collin pointed towards the door.

Considering how Ivor liked to whisper sweet nothings in her ear, Bonnie thought it might be awkward if Collin overheard. So, she waved him away.

"You should leave. I'll make the call."

"Okay." Collin didn't say anything further and got up to leave.

Just as Bonnie was about to call Ivor, a video call request popped up on her screen. The caller was none other than Ivor himself.

Instinctively, she almost pressed the answer button. But then she remembered she was still in disguise and stopped just in time.

Taking a deep breath to compose herself, she switched the call from video to audio and asked in her usual tone, "What's up?"
