I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1408

Bonnie became curious and turned to look at Ivor, asking, “What kind of surprise are we talking about?”

He brushed his fingers through her silky hair and said mysteriously, “You’ll find out soon enough.”

Bonnie rolled her eyes at him and scolded, “You’re stringing me along again!”

“It won’t be a surprise if I tell you, would it?” Ivor kissed her lips and said, “Get some rest and wait for me at home.”

“Fine, just go.” Bonnie waved in annoyance. Although seemingly impatient, she purposely lowered her head to hide her blushing face.

Even so, Ivor noticed her blushing. He grinned and stood up as he watched her halfheartedly eat her breakfast. Then, he said warmly, “I’m leaving now.”

Bonnie’s lips twitched. “You’re just going to work. You’re not going off to die or anything. Why do you keep telling me you’re leaving?”

“Okay, I’ll stop if you want.” Ivor got closer to Bonnie instead.

She was puzzled, asking, “What are you—”

Before she could finish, he kissed her lips again and took her breath away. After some time, Ivor stopped and pressed his forehead on hers, saying, “I just don’t like leaving you, even for a second.”

Bonnie regained her composure and could not help but frown. “Something’s off about you today? What on earth are you going to do?”

Ivor stood upright and avoided her question. “Rest, okay? I’ll be home soon.”

Then, he left the room without giving his wife another chance to pry. Bonnie sat on the bed and watched him go with a hint of suspicion in her eyes, wondering what he had planned for her surprise.

Bonnie was worried about what would happen to her husband and also looked forward to the surprise. However, she knew better than to ask Ivor about something he would not reveal. She could only wait quietly for his return.

After breakfast, Bonnie changed her clothes and went to the living room. Sigmund was playing chess against himself when he saw her coming down. He greeted her warmly, “Perfect timing, Bonnie. It’s been a while since we last played chess. Would you like to play a few rounds?”

Since Bonnie had visited Sigmund to accompany him, she accepted his offer and sat across from him, saying, “Sure, Grandpa. Do you want the black or white pieces?”

Sigmund rubbed his chin in thought and said, “I always pick the white pieces, but I’ll switch it up today. I feel they’ll bring me good luck this time.”

Bonnie could not help but giggle when she heard that.
