I Love You, Miss Genius

Ivor was about to hang up when he had an idea. "Oh, I almost forgot. You can switch the camera since we're on a video call. Taking pictures would be troublesome, after all."

"Y-You want me to flip the camera?" Bonnie's heart raced, wondering why Ivor suddenly changed his approach. He also pinpointed her most significant concerns, which made her nervous.

'Now he's telling me to flip it? There's a significant difference between a hotel and the lab's resting areas. If I flip the camera, he'll notice it immediately. I can't do that. I must bluff my way through this.' Ivor noticed her silence and grew even more puzzled. "Honey, why aren't you saying anything? Is it the connection again?"

'Bonnie's background doesn't look like our home. If she says she's in the lab, I'll believe her. Why did she react so strangely when I asked her to switch the camera? Is she not at home or the lab? Where else could she be?'

Ivor was puzzled and could not think of a reasonable explanation behind his suspicions.

Bonnie gathered her thoughts when she heard his voice. Her brain raced as she struggled to make up an excuse. "Um, I can take pictures for you. I-I'd rather not flip the camera."

"Why not?" Ivor's suspicions only grew.

"Because my room is messy. I've been so busy lately and had no time to tidy up. I don't want you to see it," Bonnie quickly said, "If you want pictures, I can tidy up first."

Ivor found her explanation

reasonable but forced. "Come on we're married. I've seen you naked. What's a messy room? I won't

judge."

"Even though we're married, I'm still a woman. We like to maintain a good image in front of the people we love y'know." Bonnie made up a bunch of excuses.

Ivor smiled and repeated, "I'll just take a look. I won't judge.

"Nope," Bonnie firmly refused, "I almost didn't answer your call because my room is messy. I have pride, Ivor."

Ivor chuckled. "Come on, I won't make fun of you."Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"You just laughed." Bonnie rolled her eyes.

“I did, but that's because you said I'm the one you love. It made me happy.wasn't laughing because your room's messy," Ivor patiently explained, "I promise not to make fun of you or your room.

Bonnie got a headache from his insistence.

'I can't keep this up. I shouldn't have answered his call. Now, I created a difficult situation for myself.'
