I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1128

Fortunately, Ivor also sent photos of his office, so it didn’t seem odd for Bonnie to send photos as well. Bonnie pressed the voice message button and sent a message to Ivor.

"I saw your office. It looks pretty good. But no matter what, remember to take good care of yourself. Don’t neglect your health for work."

Ivor quickly replied with a voice message.

"Honey, I think you should be saying that to yourself. After all, you’re the one who often neglects sleep and meals for experiments."

Bonnie smiled warmly upon hearing this.

"I'm saying it to both of us. We're so far apart now that we both need to take good care of ourselves. I don't want to meet a sickly you when we see each other again. Of course, I'll take care of myself, too, so I can be in the best shape when we meet."

Ivor suddenly fell silent. He had been able to suppress his longing, but Bonnie’s words made his yearning surge like a tide. At this moment, he wanted to see Bonnie more than ever, not just hear her voice through a cold screen.

Bonnie watched the screen, perplexed that Ivor had not responded. She sent another voice message to check on him.

"Ivor, why aren't you responding? Is it lagging again?"

Ivor’s phone buzzed as he played her message, holding the receiver close to feel nearer to her. After listening, he quickly replied.

"Honey, it’s not lagging. I just miss you so much. I really, really want to be by your side and hold you."

Being apart from Bonnie for so long had made him suffer greatly. This longing was unbearable, and Bonnie couldn't see his expressions, so he had to convey his feelings through words.

Bonnie felt her heart flutter at the intense longing in Ivor’s voice. She bit her lip and hesitated before replying.

"I miss you too..."

After this message, Bonnie and Ivor stared at their screens in silence. Talking more about their feelings would only make the longing stronger. They could only remain silent to cool down their overwhelming emotions.

Bonnie hadn't realized it before, but Ivor’s words made her aware of how much she missed him. She wished she could rush to his side and surprise him. She could have done this before, but the Falcon situation required her presence. Even if she wanted to surprise Ivor, she couldn’t.

For the first time, Bonnie felt genuinely helpless. The feeling of wanting to see someone but being unable to was indeed quite painful.
