I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1051

Bonnie asked, “Is your last surprise for me a candlelight dinner?”

“Yeah, it is,” he said smilingly, “I cooked all the dishes you see. Make sure to eat them all, okay?”

Before she could say anything, he added, “I should’ve started with dinner. It’s been a while since I cooked, so you can’t complain if some dishes taste funny.”

“Why would I do something like that?” Bonnie pulled out a chair and sat down. “Let’s dig in and see if your cooking skills are as good as they once were.”

“All right.” Ivor sat down and put a piece of cut stake on her plate.

Bonnie wasted no time and ate the stake. However, Ivor feared he did not cook it well enough, so he asked, “How is it?”

She met his nervous gaze and deliberately kept him on the hook. “Well, I—”

As expected, his body stiffened. Bonnie’s eyes sparkled with joy as she said, “It melted in my mouth, and you seasoned it perfectly.”

Ivor sighed in relief when he realized she was teasing him. He could not help but chuckle and say, “Jeez, Bonnie. I can’t believe you made fun of me when you know how much I care about your opinions.”

“Hey, you’ve always done the same to me. I didn’t know you couldn’t take a joke,” Bonnie retorted before eating more of her steak.

Ivor was delighted to receive her approval regarding his cooking skills. He noticed how much she enjoyed the steak and dug into his meal. Of course, he remembered to offer her more throughout dinner.

The couple created a heartwarming and romantic atmosphere. Soon after, Ivor uncorked a bottle of red wine and poured some of it into his wife. He said, “I took this wine from the cellar. It had plenty of time to mature, so it tastes best now. Here, have some.”
