"Normally, you're beautiful, but you're even more beautiful like this, to the point where I can't take my eyes off you." While saying this, Ivor stared straight into Bonnie's eyes, his gaze filled with deep affection.
Bonnie awkwardly shifted her gaze away, and a blush spread across her cheeks. "I don't want to hear your smooth-talk anymore," she said.
Ivor was about to say something when the phone in his pocket vibrated.
He took out his phone and glanced at it. It was a message from Alfred.
“Mr. Ivor, everything is ready. You can bring Ms. Bonnie over now.”
After reading it, Ivor put the phone back, took Bonnie's hand, and headed toward the hall. "Let's go to the front hall."
Bonnie turned her head to ask him, "Is everything ready?"
"Yes, it's all set, but the timing was a bit rushed. I don't know if it will be surprising enough for you."
Ivor's voice contained a hint of nervousness. It was clear that he was trying his best to make things perfect, but the time constraints were challenging.
"My standards aren't that high," Bonnie said, looping her arm through Ivor's. "The garden full of roses you planted for me was already enough to surprise me."
"No, it's not enough," Ivor said as they arrived at the front gate, seeming even more nervous than Bonnie. He took a deep breath. "Are you ready, honey?"
Bonnie laughed. "What's there to prepare for? Are you going to scare me?"
