Bonnie had expected Ivor to question her, so she came prepared. “My name’s Fanelli.”
She used Welma’s surname as her alias.
“Care to join me for dinner, Dr. Fanelli?” Ivor extended an invitation.
Bonnie lowered her gaze, knowing he still harbored doubts. In that case, decided to play along. “Since you were kind enough to invite me, I won’t decline.” Soon after, the duo had dinner in a luxurious private room at Jade Horizon Hotel. Ivor even ordered an extravagant feast. He then raised his glass, saying, “Cheers to you, Dr. Fanelli.”
While reaching for her mask, Bonnie noticed Ivor staring intently. With the mask off, “she” clinked her glass with Ivor. After seeing “his” face, Ivor calmly lowered his gaze. Indeed, he had overthought.
Later that evening, Ivor returned to the villa alone and saw Bonnie sitting on the couch, watching the news. He casually approached and sat beside Bonnie. “ You’re different from other girls. Most of them don’t enjoy watching the news.”
The two sat close to each other, almost touching shoulders. Bonnie felt uncomfortable and scooted over a little, asking, “So, how’s your grandma doing?”
“The doctor is highly skilled and dependable. Grandma should be as good as new in six months.”
“Wow, that’s impressive,” Bonnie replied nonchalantly.
Ivor had been observing Bonnie since he entered the house. Still, the latter’s gaze remained on the TV, showing no emotional fluctuations. Ivor frowned and asked, “When will the team finish building Lenfield Resort?”
“Hamish said they should finish it next month, around the time school starts,” Bonnie replied as she continued to watch TV.
Suddenly, Ivor reached for her shoulder and turned her to face him. His voice carried a hint of pleading, “Can’t you stay here just a little longer?”
Bonnie’s heart softened momentarily, but reason quickly overcame her
emotions. “I’ll feel like a sugar baby if I stay any longer. I’m uncomfortable with that.”
“I don’t see it that way at all.”

“I know, but I do,” Bonnie said firmly, determined to move out.
((
Seeing Bonnie’s resolve, Ivor did not insist further. He knew this would be the outcome, but it was still hard for him to accept. He reminded Bonnie, Remember, you owe me a favor.”
Of course, Bonnie remembered. She had promised Ivor during the final race that she would agree to his favor if it were not excessive, like getting married. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Fine, lay it on me. What’s the favor?”
“I want to take you to the beach this Saturday. Just the two of us.”
Bonnie caught on. “Are you planning something?”
“You’re smart. You’re the only one I’ve set my eyes on, after all,” Ivor said proudly, “So, do you agree? It’s not an unreasonable request, right?”
After some thought, Bonnie asked skeptically, “You won’t make me wear a revealing bikini or anything, will you?”
“Do you think I’m that pervy?” Despite his composed tone, he had considered it before.
Bonnie’s eyes suddenly widened as she looked at him. “You won’t be naked, right?!”
Ivor chuckled, enjoying the banter. “I can do that if you’re interested in seeing my package.”
