Ivor naturally wouldn't quarrel with Yasmine. But recalling Yasmine's infatuation with Bonnie, he couldn't help feeling a hint of jealousy.
"Promise me, next time you see her, don't show too much intimacy."
Bonnie cast a sidelong glance at him.
"I haven't asked you yet. Why does it seem like you're more lenient towards Yasmine than others? Now you're turning the question back on me?"
Ivor was momentarily stunned, then let out an almost imperceptible sigh. "This is a long story."
Bonnie knew there was more to this when she saw Ivor’s reaction. A hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes.
"Then you can make it short."
Ivor smiled lightly and then reached out to tap his cheek. "If you want to know, kiss me, and I'll tell you."
Bonnie rolled her eyes speechlessly. "You really know how to take advantage of any situation. You've taken that to a whole new level."
Although she said this, she eventually kissed him.
"Can you tell me now?"
Ivor chuckled softly.
"Rare that you're so curious about something and so proactive with me. Alright, I'll tell you."
To Ivor's words, Bonnie responded with nothing but another eye-roll. "You make it sound like such a chore. Fine—"
Ivor was afraid Bonnie would actually get angry, so he leaned over and lightly pecked her lips.
"I was just joking. Don't be mad."
