I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1418

Ivor’s sweet words caused Bonnie to blush. His warmth spread to her heart, but she playfully pushed him away and changed the subject, saying, “I thought you said you’d massage my waist. Stop wasting time.”

Ivor noticed her shyness. He smiled but feared teasing her further would make her kick him out of the room. So, he continued to massage her, saying, “All right, I’ll just focus on massaging you.”

Bonnie wondered how her husband became even more skillful at flirting in just half a month. She used to be able to handle it, but now he made her flustered.

However, she realized it was not necessarily a bad thing. Despite their long separation, their relationship remained intimate. It was a relationship she had longed for.

The following day, Bonnie woke up to an empty bed. She felt her husband’s warmth on the other side of the bed, indicating he had only just gotten up. Then, she heard the bathroom door open and saw Ivor.

When their eyes met, Ivor smiled and said, “You’re awake.”

“Mhm.” Bonnie yawned and then realized he had already gotten dressed and ready for work.

She remembered him offering to send her to the university and said, “Your office is far from the university. You don’t have to take me if you’re too busy, y’know.”

“It’s okay, Bonnie. I’m not in a rush,” Ivor said as he led her to the bathroom, “Go ahead and get ready while I make breakfast. We can leave after eating.”

Bonnie nodded. “Okay, I’ll see you downstairs.”

Several minutes later, she finished preparing and went downstairs. She saw only Ivor sitting at the dining table. “Where’s Grandpa? He’s usually up by now.”

“Uncle Gunnar came by to take Grandpa to stay with him for a few days. I agreed since I figured we’d both be busy and wouldn’t have time to keep Granpa company.” Ivor pushed a bowl of tomato soup toward her and added, “Here, eat up before it gets cold.”

Bonnie drank the soup and said, “It’s good that Grandpa’s with Uncle Gunnar. Then, he won’t feel lonely when we’re too busy to be with him.”

“That’s what I thought, too.” Ivor smiled. “We’re so in sync.”

Bonnie rolled her eyes and chose not to respond. She knew he would be more energized the more she engaged with him.

After breakfast, the couple left together. Bonnie repeatedly yawned in the car and thought it was odd, considering she had slept early last night.

“I went to bed pretty early last night. Why am I yawning so much?”

Ivor suggested, “Maybe it’s because you’re still exhausted from the night before last?”
