I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1009

Ivor could not help but glance at Bonnie sideways when she said that. He said, “Although you look like a carefree guy, you’re pretty cautious.”

Her lips twitched. “Are you sure you consider me carefree?”

That was her first time hearing someone refer to her as carefree, and she found it refreshing. After all, people had always found her mature, reliable, and wise. As for carefree, she suspected she had only shown that side of her to Ivor, albeit occasionally.

Bonnie had not acted out of character before Ivor when she first met him. She wondered how he saw through her and discovered her carefree side.

“I have a hunch that’s just who you are.” Ivor was stunned. After all, he called her carefree out of instinct.

“A hunch, huh?” Bonnie’s lips twitched. “That sounds unreliable.”

“I wouldn’t say that. My hunches have always been accurate, so I often trust them.” Ivor walked forward and cleared the way for Bonnie as he spoke.

Ivor thought, ‘Although he’s also a man, his stature is smaller and weaker than mine. I should clear the way for him.’

On the other hand, Bonnie looked at his back and felt like he was taking care of her. For a moment, she suspected the man before her was Ivor.

‘Nah, Ivor’s on a business trip to one of Arvandor’s neighboring countries. Yale is on the other side of the world. He can’t be here. I must be imagining it because I miss him too much.’

Soon after, the duo reached the abandoned villa. Bonnie peered inside, but all she could see was darkness. Although she had superb vision, she still could not see a thing. She turned and whispered, “This place isn’t strategic for us. Tread cautiously.”

To her surprise, Ivor turned when she did. The two almost hit each other’s faces. They were so close to each other that Ivor caught a faint aroma. He froze when he sniffed it.

‘Wait a minute. Why does this guy smell so much like Bonnie? The Nidhogg’s leader is a man, so why would he smell so feminine?’

With that in mind, Ivor remembered the soft and plump sensation when he first fought the Nidhoggs’ leader. He had buried his suspicions previously, but after smelling the faint aroma, he could not help but become suspicious again.

‘Is this guy a lady instead?! She might be disguising herself as a man because of personal reasons.’

Bonnie realized they were an inch away from touching each other. She stumbled backward before finding her footing. She noticed the stunned Ivor and asked, “Hey, why’d you turn so suddenly? Now you look like a deer in headlights.”

Ivor returned to his senses and chuckled when he heard that. He said, “This place is pretty creepy. It’d be wild if something supernatural happened. Maybe you should watch your back.”
