Chapter 376
‘I shouldn’t have responded to him without thinking. Still, am I admitting I’m his future wife?"
Honk, honk!
A car behind them honked, bringing Bonnie back to her senses. She pushed Ivor away and said, “Keep your eyes on the road. “Of course, honey!” Ivor was so happy that he forgot that he was hungry.
Bonnie said, “There’s plenty of tasty street food at Appetite Avenue. I'd go there and cat everything if I had the time. Do you like strect food? “Of course I do. I love everything you eat. “Really?” Bonnie raised her brows with a hint of playfulness in her eyes.
“I love eating liver and onions. I don't see you liking something like that. Aftcr some thought , Ivor said, “That’s not truc. I like cating liver and onions, too. “Okay, why do you always watch and not join in whenever I eat that? “Since I love you so much, I want you to have as much as possible. Bonnie’s eyes glinted with humor as she said, “That makes me feel sorry for you. I’ll buy some liver and onions for us tomorrow. You know what? I'll let you have all of it. After all, you did the same for me. Ivor did not know how to respond. His stumped expression amused Bonnie.
Soon after, the couple reached Appetite Avenue.
They stopped at a barbeque stall, and Bonnie said, “I'll have ten grilled squid skewers, please. Make them spicy, okay? Ten minutes later, she gave some to Ivor and said, “Bon appetit. Ivor looked at the grilled squid with onions, which made him lose his appetite.
He asked, “Why don’t you have a taste first? Bonnie rolled her eyes at him, saying, “Are you worried they’re poisonous? You know whal? I won’t argue—I'll just eat it. She took a bite and savored the taste. “Mmm, it’s the best place to go for grilled squids. Come one, have some! She handed Ivor the remaining pieces, and he bit into the piece she had just bitten. Bonnie said, “I just ate that part, Ivor. “1 know that,” Ivor said before taking another bite.
“What do you think? It’s good, right? “Mmm... It’s delicious because you ate it. Bonnie sighed, not knowing what else to say.
Later, Floyd entered Ivor’s room, and the latter asked, “Did you finish handling those guys? “Of course I did.” Floyd paused momentarily and then asked, “I thought you said Master Jim and Ms. Bonnie could never be a couple. I vividly remember you claiming he doesn’t love her that way, Mr. Ivor.
What that in mind, why do you get jealous of Master Jim? Ivor replied solemnly , “I might know they’re not a couple, but Jim is still aman. Put yourself in my shoes. Can you handle it if your wife’s best friend keeps showing up around her?
“Um...”
Floyd scratched the back of his head. “I don’t have a wife ora girlfriend. I can’t understand how you feel, Mr. Ivor. He felt his boss’s pitiful glance and got upset, thinking, ‘He’s been single his whole life and only recently fell in love with Ms. Bonnie. Also, he hasn’t even won her heart yet.
Ms. Bonnie hasn't even accepted him as her boyfriend for crying out loud."
Floyd kept his thoughts to himself. He knew he might not live to see another day if he said it out loud.
Ivor asked, “Did you do what I asked you to do last time?
