I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1309

Falcon gave “Bonnie” a thumbs-up and said, “You have a sharp mind, Barrett. I have much to learn from you.”

“What’s there to learn? You’ll know more once you’ve gathered enough life experiences, right?” Bonnie said in surprise. She did not think Falcon would praise her over something so trivial. That proved he genuinely considered her a close friend.

Falcon was curious, saying genuinely, “You look so much younger than me, so why do you like you have more life experience? Is it because of your upbringing?”

He thought “Bonnie” had two contradicting sides to her character. Sometimes, she would seem naive and inexperienced, and other times, he could see things most could not. Falcon did not know how to put his thoughts into words at that moment.

Nonetheless, he was not suspicious of Bonnie but was only curious.

“Maybe it was my upbringing. My mom has a severe condition, so I have to keep my family together. That must be why I seem more mature than everyone else,” Bonnie shamelessly and calmly lied. After all, she knew Falcon would not try to verify what she said.

Falcon chuckled and asked, “Is that so? We both had the short end of life’s stick, I guess. We share the same background. No wonder we’re so close now.”

Bonnie laughed along. “Yeah, it must be fate.”

The duo chatted as Billy led them through a complex tunnel. They had to make many twists and turns before reaching their destination. Meanwhile, Bonnie paid close attention to the paths they took.

Once they reached the secret area, she noticed it had far fewer buildings compared to the old base. Also, there were only about a dozen organization members there.

‘These must be the people Billy trusts most. Otherwise, he wouldn’t allow them to be here,’ Bonnie thought as she looked around, ‘This must be his actual base of operations.’

Although the previous base was secluded, it was nothing compared to this place. Bonnie had risked her life to save Billy and had even drawn his enemies away from him. If she had not done that, he would not have brought her here.

Falcon said, “This place is so hidden, Billy. No one could’ve ever found it.”

“Of course it is. Do you know who you’re talking to? I designed this place. No one will find this place unless I want them to,” Billy said triumphantly. It was apparent how proud he was of this area.

Then, he thought of something and said solemnly, “Since it’s a secret area, it means not many people know about it. I’ll know if anyone leaks its location.”

Billy glared at Falcon and Bonnie, adding, “Do you know what I’m getting at?”

Falcon immediately responded, “Loud and clear. Barrett and I have to thank the Nidhoggs for our injuries. There’s no way we’ll leak this location. Don’t worry about a thing. Barrett and I won’t betray you. You trust us, right?”
