I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1125

Bonnie waited for Ivor’s response, but he stayed quiet. She asked again, “Ivor, why aren’t you saying anything? Did the call freeze?”

Ivor was at a loss, but her question gave him an idea. He could use the lousy connection as an excuse to hang up. Although it had been a while since he had seen his wife or heard her voice, he had to keep his whereabouts a secret.

If Bonnie discovered he was lying, their relationship would only worsen. Ultimately, Ivor mouthed, “Bonnie? Bonnie, can you hear me?”

She read his lips and said, “I can read your lips but can’t hear you. Can you hear me?”

Ivor had forgotten that his wife could lipread, so he pretended he could not hear her. He mouthed, “Bonnie, the signal here is terrible. I’ll hang up and call you back when it improves.”

Bonnie pursed her lips when he hung up the call. Then, she texted Toby and asked for pictures of his room in the research facility.

Toby was puzzled as he replied, “Why do you need pictures of my room, Ms. Bonita? Did something happen?”

She replied, “It’s a small matter, but I can’t tell you what it is. Just send me some pictures, okay?”

Toby read the reply and responded, “Okay, I’ll send them immediately.”

Bonnie’s tense body finally relaxed when she received the pictures. She no longer had to worry about Ivor calling to check on her again.

After ending the video call with Bonnie, Ivor opened the door and looked at Yasmine indifferently. “What do you want?”

She peered into his room and noticed his grim expression. “Did I interrupt something, boss? Why do you look so upset?”

Ivor was exasperated, saying, “Stop with the nonsense and tell me why you’re here.”

“I, uh…” Yasmine dragged her words, “I wanted to ask if you’re going to meet Mr. Boyd today and if I could come with you.”

Ivor’s already indifferent expression turned cold. “Why would I go see him? Do I look like I have nothing better to do? You can visit him alone if you want. You don’t need me to take you there.”

Yasmine thought he would scold her if she suggested going alone. She attempted to salvage the situation by smiling awkwardly and saying, “I thought you urged the Nidhoggs to speed up their process.

“If you don’t check in on them, they might slack off. Won’t it be better if you visited their leader to ensure everything is going well?”

Ivor looked at Yasmine up and down, saying, “Since you’re so eager, I’ll send you to check on the progress.”
