“Mmm… You…” Bonnie struggled, concerned about people coming and going around the university. She did not want others to see what was happening as it would reflect poorly on her.
Although everyone at the university was a young adult and unaware that Bonnie was the university president, she felt a solid responsibility to set a proper example to the students and not engage in such inappropriate behavior.
Ivor gradually stopped when he noticed his wife’s unusual reaction. He pressed his forehead against hers and reassured her, “Don’t worry. I tinted the car windows so no one can see us.”
Bonnie calmed down when she heard that. Then, she glanced at the dark windows.
‘Of course! How did I forget something so crucial? Struggling in Ivor’s arms almost caused a scene.’
Ivor chuckled when he noticed she had regained her composure. “Feeling better now?”
Bonnie rolled her eyes at him and said, “Yeah, right! If you hadn’t done that so suddenly, I wouldn’t have forgotten about the tinted windows!”
“All right, fine. My bad,” Ivor said while affectionately ruffling her hair, “You said you were running late, didn’t you? Go ahead.”
Bonnie rolled her eyes again before leaving the car. Then, she turned around and warned, “Don’t do that again at the school gate. It looks bad.”
“I understand.” Ivor nodded and raised his hand, promising, “I swear I won’t do it again in front of the school gate.”
“You better not!” Bonnie glanced sideways at him, scoffed, and walked away.
Ivor revealed a helpless smile as he watched her leave.
‘She’s always adorable to me, even when she’s mad.’
Floyd turned to Ivor and intended to ask where they were headed next. However, the former stopped when he noticed his boss’s bright smile. Floyd never saw Ivor this happy when they were at Yale.
‘Mr. Ivor never showed such joy until he finally returned to his wife. Tsk, tsk, tsk. The power of love is remarkable. It can bring happiness, despair, and even uncertainty. On that note, when is my turn for a passionate relationship? I want to experience the pains of love, too.’
Ivor looked away from the departing Bonnie and looked at Floyd. Ivor noticed Floyd’s glare and asked, “What is it?”
Floyd returned to his senses, saying, “Uh, I was just thinking I want to experience the feeling of love—”
