I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard )
Chapter 837

"Even if I wanted to guess, I wouldn't be able to. But I'm not in a rush. I'll naturally find out when the time comes, " Andreas said.

Bonnie didn't respond, merely shaking her head with a knowing smile.

The car stopped at the entrance of an ancient, dense forest two hours later. Bonnie got out and surveyed the surroundings, her eyebrows furrowing in worry as she remained motionless. When Andreas noticed her hesitancy, he stepped out of the car and inquired inquisitively, "Why aren't you moving?"

Bonnie pursed her red lips and said, with a hint of seriousness. "This forest feels too dangerous. It looks like wild beasts could appear at any moment. I'm debating whether we should go in." Although she had survival skills, she didn't want to risk venturing into an unknown and potentially dangerous place.

"I've been inside before. I know where the blue barberry is and where the safest paths are. Just follow me," Andreas assured her. Bonnie was momentarily taken aback, a flicker of doubt crossing her eyes. "What were you doing in such a dangerous place?" Andreas scratched the back of his head, a shadow briefly passing through his eyes as he recalled something.

"Once we reach adulthood, every royal family member is sent here for a trial. I had to try various methods and paths to survive, so I'm familiar with most of the terrain here. Trust me, you'll be safe if you follow me."

Bonnie was surprised. From her interactions with Andreas over the past few days, she had seen him as a simple, kind-hearted young prince raised in luxury. She hadn't expected him to have undergone such harsh trials.

Moreover, the fact that he survived in such a harsh environment made her see him in a new light.

Andreas was saddened by her silence and assumed she didn't trust him. He then asked, "You don't believe me, do you? I genuinely consider you a friend and wouldn't endanger you."

Bonnie walked over and patted his shoulder. "Stop overthinking. Did I ever say I didn't believe you?"

Andreas looked up quickly, his eyes regaining their shine. "You trust me?"

"Of course. I've let you handle everything so far, haven't I? How could I not trust you?" Bonnie replied with a smile. She then glanced at the forest shrouded in mist and deeply exhaled.

"Since you know the way, let's go. The sooner we get back, the better. It'll be harder to navigate in the dark, and staying there too long increases the risk."

Andreas's earlier gloom vanished, and he nodded eagerly. "Alright, let's head out right now."

As he spoke, he noticed the bodyguards trailing behind them and frowned. "Why are you following us? With too many people, it's harder to move around. Stay here and keep an eye out for any suspicious people trying to enter."

The bodyguards exchanged puzzled glances, unsure but obedient to Andreas's command.
