I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 400

“So, that’s the whole story. “Uh... It took Ged a long time to process everything Ivor told him.

“All I can say is that Bonnie is a tough lady. She knows what she wants and won’t compromise her vision and settle for anything less. Frankly, you're one lucky bastard if you manage to marry her. No, I take it back!

You'll be the luckiest bastard alive if you end up marrying her. “That’s a given.” He gave Ged a sidelong glance. “I know better than you just how precious she is. “There's no necd to wallow in sadness or despair. If you look at it from another angle, it's a good thing.” Ged said analytically.

“What do you mean? “Can't you figure out something this simple? They say we do foolish things when we’re in love, bul why do I get the feeling that you've become a fool yourself?

“Bonnie is this mad at you because she cares a lot about you! Think about it. If someone she deemed worthless threw a fit in front of her, she would've remained indifferent and ignored that person, which, in turn, drives the person crazy. Ivor nodded in approval.

“Keep going. “

Here’s a question for you. Have you seen Bonnie this mad in your life? He pondered on the question for a couple of seconds.

Then, his eyes sparkled. He sounded jovial when he spoke. “Are you trying to say that she loves me?

“I won’t say that it’s necessarily love. She has feelings for you, at most.”

Ged said truthfully.

At the next moment, Ivor glared at him.

“Don’t give me that look! I’m telling you the truth. You need a dose of reality right now. Judging by your current situation , you should leave her alone for a couple of days. Give her some peace. Frowning, he asked, “A couple of days? Are you trying to kill me? Ged remained quiet. ‘That decides it. Ivor is smitten."

“It’s up to you, I guess. By all means, pester her as you will. That'll end things between the two of you immediately. Ivor fell silent at once.

Bonnie went back to her villa and lay on the bed. She tossed and turned, but she just couldn’t fall asleep. She couldn’t explain it, but she was still angry until] this moment.

She had never been like this.

Then, she got to thinking about Ivor’s swollen head. He might’ve pretended to have lost his memories, but she did pound him very hard in the pool.

She was kept awake until three in the morning before she finally fell asleep.

She fully intended to sleep in the next day. Little did she know that she’d receive a call early in the morning.

It was Welma on the other end of the phone. So, she shoved her frustration deep down before she said, “Hello? What is it, Mom? “Are you still sleeping? Didn’t you usually wake up early? Did you pull an all-nighter yesterday?” Welma asked concerningly. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Yeah. I stayed up quite late last night. “T know you’re young, but you can’t pull an all-nighter like that! Oh, I know. Did you hang out with Ivor last night? Is that why you stayed up so late? Bonnie couldn’t help but frown when she heard his name.

“Hello? Are you still there? Bonnie? “Oh, uh... Is there any reason you're calling me Mom?” She came back to her senses and changed the topic immediately.

“Oh! It’s about your aunt, who lives in Pyralis. She insisted on recommending a hotel owner to you. “Is she setting up a blind date for me?” She was surprised a little.

“Exactly! I told her that you’ ve got a boyfriend, but she wouldn’t believe me. She even said that this sort of excuse was overused and tired.

“She told me thal the hotel owner was young but accomplished. He managed to run a successful coffee shop at twenty-eight. “Just tum it down, Mom.” She rubbed the side of her head. She needed to catch some sleep now.

“I tried, but I think you know how that aunt of yours is. She's not going to believe you’re in a couple unless she sees how lovey-dovey you and Ivor are with her own eyes.

“Here’s an idea. How about you and Ivor show up together to the blind date? That's going To solve our dilemma!”
