Given Bonnie's current situation, she could never trick Ivor if he asked for a video call.
"You got it, chief. I promise I'll behave and won't make any noises." She might not have been able to see it, but he raised his hand and swore an oath nonetheless.
"Okay." She replied dryly. "Just remember what I said. Also, get my phone and call Ivor now." She missed her husband quite a lot.
Collin heard what she said and couldn't help but make fun of her, "Roger, chief. Would you listen to yourself, though? I can hear the eagerness in your voice."
Bonnie rolled her eyes so hard they might pop. "You're just a poor, single fellow. What would you know? Cut your crap and do what I said. Call him now."
"Alrighty." He responded leisurely, his voice thick with playfulness.
…
Ivor heard his phone buzzing. Seeing Bonnie's name on his phone, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
Floyd stood next to him and noticed that his master hadn't answered the phone call for a long time. He couldn't help but ask, puzzled, "Haven't you been looking forward to Ms. Bonnie's call? Why aren't you picking it up?"
Ivor took a deep breath and barely managed to suppress the indescribable emotions rising in his chest.
"I can't explain it, but I was a little nervous when I saw her name popping up on my phone. I'll have to compose myself before I answer her call."
Floyd couldn't help but twitch his lips in response.
