I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1203

“As usual, you’re the expert on being smart-mouthed,” Bonnie said.

Ivor said mysteriously, “Not exactly. I’m excellent at other things, too. Do you want to guess what those are?”

Bonnie knew he was about to sweet-talk again. However, she could not help but ask curiously, “What are they?”

As if he predicted her response, he replied affectionately, “I’m good at loving and missing you.”

Although he would occasionally say such things to his wife when she was beside him, he had demonstrated his love for her through actions more frequently. Since Bonnie was not with him, he could only express his love through words.

“Cough, cough! Cough!” Bonnie was so shocked that she choked. She knew he would say something like that but did not expect him to be so bold.

Meanwhile, Collin could only bear the couple’s constant flirting. Even so, he almost choked as Bonnie did when he heard what Ivor said. Collin struggled to stay composed at that moment. Otherwise, he would make an even bigger mess for Bonnie.

Ivor heard Bonnie coughing and quickly asked with concern, “Why are you coughing so hard? Are you okay?”

Her lips twitched, thinking, ‘Ivor has always been this outspoken. I just can’t deal with him sometimes.’

She helplessly rubbed her brows and said, “I’ll be okay if you rein it in a little.”

Ivor feigned ignorance, saying, “I speak from the heart, honey. How do I rein it in?”

Bonnie rolled her eyes, thinking his shamelessness had far exceeded her imagination. Then, she looked at the time and realized more than an hour had passed, even though she barely spoke to her husband.

‘I’m running out of time. Billy’s chef will probably serve dinner soon. Worse, I haven’t even prepared for tonight. Unfortunately, I can’t talk to Ivor any longer.’

Bonnie was about to say something when Ivor’s voice sounded, “Bonnie? Are you mad at me? I’ll stop flirting if you don’t like it.”

Ivor only wanted to tease his wife to cheer her up. After all, they had been unhappy from being separated for a long time. However, he thought he had overstepped by teasing her too much.

“That’s not it, Ivor. Something else happened at the research institute that needs my attention,” Bonnie said as she tightened her grip on her phone. She even pursed her lips as she spoke hesitantly, “Let’s hang up for now. I’ll try to make time to call you again.”
