I Love You, Miss Genius

"It's nothing major, Bonnie. If it were that severe, I wouldn't be chatting with you on a video call," Ivor said.

After some thought, Bonnie realized he had a point. "Okay, just don't hide things from me. You don't have to shoulder everything alone, y'know. I can share your burden. I don't want you to sacrifice so much forThis belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

me."

"I understand." Ivor smiled. "I always tell you the truth. I would never dare hide anything from my wife."

Bonnie rolled her eyes. "You were so serious just now, but you're back to being cheesy again."

"How am I being cheesy?" Ivor said with a hint of amusement in his eyes. "I always speak the truth, but you consider me cheesy."

"You should know the difference," Bonnie said as she got comfortable, causing the camera to shake.

Ivor frowned when he noticed the unfamiliar background. "Honey, where are you? That doesn't look like your room."

Her heart dropped as she thought, 'How'd he figure that out? Was it because I moved, and he saw something he shouldn't have?'

She sighed helplessly. She thought she had everything under control but made a mistake instead.

When Ivor noticed her lack of response, he asked again, "Is your connection acting up? Did you hear me?"

Bonnie returned to her senses and cleared her throat. “Uh, yeah, the connection was a little shaky. I didn't hear you just now. Can you repeat it?"

"Oh, I said you don't look like you're in your room. I was wondering where you were," Ivor said while scrutinizing Bonnie's background, thinking something was amiss.

Bonnie had already prepared an

responded, "I've been experimenting in the lab recently and found commuting too troublesome. They prepared a temporary room for me to rest."

"You're staying at the research facility? Is it comfortable?" Ivor half-believed his wife but continued to scrutinize the background.

Bonnie noticed it and acted natural, saying, "Yeah, it's all right. Everything I need is here, so it's convenient."

Ivor nodded. "It's good that it's convenient."

Bonnie was about to sigh in relief, thinking she had escaped. However, he asked, "Care to show me around? I'm worried you might not be as comfortable as you say. You might be hiding it to try not to trouble me."

"Y-You want me to show you around?" Bonnie almost choked.

Ivor could tell something was off just by looking at her expression. He asked again, "Yeah, is that a problem?"

"What, no! Why would it be?" Bonnie tried her best to hide her guilt and had to continue pretending.

Ivor suggested, "Let's end the video call first. Then, you can send me some photos."

Bonnie thought, 'I need to hang up

now and tell Toby to send me pictures of his room. He's the only one in the lab that has a room. I thought I could make random

excuses to avoid making Ivor suspicious. I didn't think he'd insist on seeing where I was staying.'
