I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1016

Ivor was conflicted and hesitant because his knife was his only means of protection. Although he got along relatively well with the Nidhoggs’ leader, he could not guarantee she would not use his knife against him.

Bonnie guessed his thoughts and smiled knowingly. She realized the leader of the Dark Knights was cautious.

‘Fine, I’ll just rely on myself since I can’t count on anyone else.’

She broke the awkward silence, saying, “I’ll use my own if you don’t have one.”

Without waiting for Ivor to respond, she continued to work on the trap. Meanwhile, a mix of emotions arose in Ivor as he watched.

‘Maybe he realized I’m being cautious and overly defensive. Still, my actions are for my safety.’

Ivor gathered his thoughts and played along, saying, “Today’s my lucky day. I didn’t bring anything to help you.”

“It’s fine,” Bonnie casually replied as she began to dig the ground with the dagger.

Ivor watched with a hint of curiosity. “Is something buried in the dirt?”

Bonnie nodded. “Yeah, there is.”

Ivor’s curiosity piqued. “What is it?”

“You’ll know soon enough,” Bonnie replied, not intending to sound mysterious. However, she knew Ivor might not believe her explanation. She thought he would once he saw it for himself.

“Okay,” Ivor responded lightly and continued to watch Bonnie’s actions. Despite his lingering caution, he was prepared to assist where he could. Still, traps were not his forte, so he could only watch without interfering.

Bonnie worked quickly, causing dirt to fly in all directions. Seconds later, the buried object became more apparent, and Ivor’s eyes widened in shock. “Falcon buried landmines here?!”

‘No wonder he said the traps here can blow me to pieces. He wasn’t exaggerating.’

“Yeah, I noticed something off about the ground when we first entered. I suspected Falcon had buried landmines, and I was right.” Bonnie realized Falcon had modified his trap significantly.

However, she knew what he was thinking since she was his mentor. These traps posed no challenge to her. Bonnie unearthed a series of landmines and carefully placed them aside. Meanwhile, Ivor pursed his lips, intrigued by Falcon’s trap-setting methods.

“It hasn’t been that long since we located Falcon. I wonder how he set up so many traps in such a short time.”

Bonnie raised her brows and asked, “Why do you think he set up these traps so quickly?”
