I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1056

Bonnie shook her head, saying, “It’s okay. I just need a minute.”

When Collin called, she told Ivor a bald-faced lie. Although it was not too severe, she felt guilty and did not deserve a foot rub.

“I have to rub your feet, or they might cramp up. You said they fell asleep because you were on the can for too long, right?”

Before Bonnie could reject him again, he lay her on the bed and gave her a foot rub. He was gentle yet firm, relieving her exhaustion from the strenuous activities they shared last night. She felt so comfortable that she decided not to fight it. Instead, she let her husband do whatever he wanted.

The couple had done unspeakable things to each other into the night. Bonnie felt overworked, but Ivor helped her relax with his foot rub. She fought to keep her eyes open as she lay her head on the pillow. Even so, she soon fell asleep.

“Okay, honey. That should do it. You haven’t finished your breakfast, so you should eat. If your stomach still aches after that, I’ll give you another—” Ivor looked up and noticed her eyes were closed, and her breathing was even.

‘It’s my fault for indulging in my lust too much last night. I’ll have to control myself next time. Bonnie can’t keep going through this.’

Ivor collected his thoughts and tucked her in. After kissing her forehead, he stood up and cleaned the breakfast tray.

‘It looks like she’ll be asleep for a long time. I should clean the dishes and make her some food again when she’s awake.’

As he cleaned, he accidentally touched her phone and woke the screen. He saw that she had received a text from an unknown sender but could not see its contents because of Bonnie’s privacy settings.

Then, Ivor remembered Bonnie locking herself in the restroom. He took her phone, trembling as he motioned to unlock the phone to see if she was keeping a secret from him. However, he froze.

Ultimately, he did not unlock her phone and put it back on the table instead. After all, Bonnie told him that trust was essential in a relationship. Even if she hid something from him, he was sure she had her reasons. Otherwise, she would have told him about it.

‘Bonnie won’t hurt me, so why should I bother with unnecessary thoughts?’

With that in mind, Ivor felt more cheerful. He removed the breakfast tray from the room and discarded his thoughts about checking her phone.

When he left, Bonnie abruptly woke up and turned to look at her phone. She sighed in relief when she realized no one had touched it. She took the phone and deleted Collin’s text before encrypting her phone. Only then did Bonnie feel safe enough to continue sleeping.
