I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1010

Bonnie rolled her eyes and said, “Stop trying to scare me. I’m not afraid of ghosts. Also, am I supposed to be impressed if I see one? I’ll even make the ghost regret haunting me.”

She spoke with a natural tenacity as if nothing could scare her. Ivor could not help but feel a little frightened when he sensed her unwavering air. He thought the Nidhoggs’ leader was as mature as he was, even though the latter looked young.

‘I wonder what harrowing experiences he must’ve experienced to be so mentally tough.’

Meanwhile, Bonnie noticed him staring at her. She felt her face and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?”

Her voice brought Ivor back to his senses. He collected his thoughts and chuckled, saying, “I’m surprised you’re pretty brave despite your small frame.”

She felt offended. “What do you mean by that? Watch your tongue.”

‘He sounds like he’s underestimating me. How annoying!’

Meanwhile, Ivor thought she had misunderstood him. He was about to make fun of her again when they heard a rustling sound. The duo composed themselves and looked toward the sound. Suddenly, a bird burst out of the foliage and flew away.

Although they realized it was a bird, it made them more alert and no longer as relaxed as they were a second ago. Bonnie approached the villa’s edge and gestured toward Ivor. “You go left, and I’ll take right. Let’s split up and cover more ground.”

Ivor had no objections. “Got it.”

The duo flanked the villa and scouted its surroundings. However, this tactic only allowed them to check the perimeter—they still knew nothing about its interior.

Soon after, the duo rendezvoused. The inside of the villa was pitch black. Bonnie asked, “Should we check inside? We can’t find anything useful if we keep looking outside.”

Ivor peered inside and looked around. He saw nothing but darkness without a single ray of light. He frowned and immediately disagreed, “It’s too risky to enter like this. Are you sure? I think you should reconsider. There’s a good chance we might run into real danger inside.”

Bonnie raised her brow, asking, “Are you scared?”

Ivor sneered, knowing she was goading him on. “Hmph, I don’t know the meaning of fear. Still, this isn’t something you can afford to underestimate. I hope you can consider your actions more carefully.”
