I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard )
Chapter 785

Ivor snorted light in response.

"This is something I have to do as a man. You don't get to turn it down."

She rolled her eyes at him again. "There you go with your smart mouth again."

"What are you talking about? Don't you think it's true?" His eyes were brimming with affection and humor. "I mean it. It doesn't matter what happens. I'm going to keep you safe. There's no need to be afraid."

Noticing that he was inching closer to her, she used her elbow and pressed against his chest. "Alright. I got it. Stop trying to take advantage of me when you're speaking."

His lips curled into a smile. The humor in his eyes thickened.

"Did you see through me already? You're just so smart, Bonnie."

"Geez. Just cut it out." She was beyond speechless now.

'I can't take it with him. Although he did deliver on everything he said, I have no idea how to form a comeback to his corny lines.'

"Get some rest. I'll wake you up when we're at the hotel." He ran his fingers through her hair lovingly.

She was worn out after what happened today. So, she didn't turn down his offer. She leaned on his chest, found a comfortable position, and closed her eyes slowly. "Okay. Don't move, then. I'm going to grab some shut-eye."

He smiled and responded, "Alright. I'll stay put."

Before long, she fell asleep.

Listening to her even breathing, a sense of relief rose in his chest.

Several minutes later, he confirmed that she wasn't about to wake up and talked to Floyd, who was driving the car. "Did you hear everything she said earlier?" Floyd nodded in response. "I do, Mr. Ivor."

"Okay." He said, "Once we get back to the hotel, arrange for some men to be sent over from Pyralis. We need to be prepared for the worst."

"Roger." Floyd knew how important this order was, and nodded hastily.

The next day, Bonnie was sound asleep when Ivor woke her up.

"Wake up, Bonnie. Come on, wake up."

She strained and opened her eyes a crack. "What's the matter?"

"Didn't you promise me that you'll be coming with me to the new quarry? Come on, we've got to go."

'Actually, I want her to rest at the hotel. However, what she said yesterday made me feel uneasy. I can't leave her here alone without being worried sick about her. I'll be able to see her anytime I want if I bring her along for the inspection. That'll make me feel better.'

"The inspection, you say?" She sobered up, sat on the bed, and yawned. "Give me a minute. I'll be ready soon."

"Yeah. Go ahead and freshen up. I've prepared breakfast for you. We'll hit the road as soon as we're finished eating." He planted a kiss on the side of her face, rose, and left the room.

She had gotten used to these little routines with him.

Wiping her cheeks, she strolled toward the restroom. Several minutes later, she was done freshening up and came outside. The first thing she saw was Ivor pouring her a glass of milk.

He heard the sound of the restroom door and raised his head. The moment he laid his eyes on her, he put on an affectionate smile.

"Breakfast is ready, lover. Get over here and have some."

She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and shot him a look. "Can you please not be this corny this early in the morning?"

Then, he adopted a pitiful expression and looked at her.
