Chapter 419
“Who’s the punk you’re talking about?” Bonnie asked, curious. After all, she rarely saw Ivor react that way.
He replied, “A childhood friend of mine.”
“Why do you look so troubled if he’s your friend?” Bonnie became even more confused, thinking there was more to it than she suspected.
“You have no idea how handsome he is.”
1 remember Ged talking about someone named Thaddeus. Supposedly, he has the same taste in women as Ivor. Also, Ged was confident that Thaddeus had chosen to remain single for a long time because he had yet to meet someone outstanding enough to be his match.‘
Ivor’s phone rang for a long time before he finally answered. Another voice echoed from the phone, “Ivor,

1 was enjoying some time with my lovely fiancee. We were, uh, kissing!” Ivor said matter–of–factly.
Bonnie was about to enter the kitchen when she heard the last part of his sentence. Exasperated, she
