I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1291

"That's enough!"

That startled Falcon. He turned around and glanced at Billy, feeling puzzled. "What's the matter, Billy?"

Billy looked grim when he nodded gently. He gestured at Falcon and said, "Give Barrett his phone back!"

"But…"

Falcon still sensed something off about it. He was about to say something when Billy cut him off.

"What more do you have to say? The three of us are in the same boat now. So, quit doing something that'll tear us apart! Moreover, didn't you turn up empty-handed after looking over Barrett's phone several times?

"Stop questioning Barrett's loyalty. I don't want you making him feel uncomfortable for nothing!"

Bonnie noticed Billy speaking for her and went on to adopt a grateful expression.

"I-I really did pull out my phone because I saw a tunnel ahead. I just wanted to light the way for you… If I've known you distrust me this much, then I would've opted to stay behind and let myself get caught by the Nidhoggs…"

Bonnie emanated helplessness and dissatisfaction when she spoke.

Billy glared at Falcon. Then, he snatched the phone from him and gave it back to her.

"Falcon didn't want to face the Nidhoggs. He got himself worked up so much and did what he did. That's all. He didn't mean anything by it. Don't take it to heart, Barrett."

Bonnie took her phone from Billy and raised her hand to wipe tears from her eyes.

"I'm aware that Falcon turned his back on the Nidhoggs and joined your faction instead. I guess I can understand that he didn't want to face his former allies.

"However, I can not stand it when he continues to suspect me. If you really distrust me, then I'll leave. The last thing I want is to overstay my welcome and make you guys feel uncomfortable."
