’Does it really work that way?’
Bonnie thought carefully. Perhaps it wasn't like this with other people, but when it came to Ivor, maybe it was.
Bonnie's gaze toward Ivor became earnest.
"I've never been in a relationship because, to me, any relationship that isn't aimed at marriage is just a game. I don't enjoy such childish playacting. So, if you just want to date me, you should find someone else."
"No!" Ivor leaned closer to Bonnie's face. "I want to have children someday who will carry on our family tree. Do I look like I'm playing games?"
‘Um... Is it really this straightforward? Skipping marriage and considering having children?’
Bonnie was somewhat speechless. "Also, I won't tolerate any infidelity. If you're with me, you can't flirt with others."
"You've been with me for so long. You should understand me. If we talk about flirting, you're the expert, not me."
Bonnie raised an eyebrow. "You make it sound like I'm promiscuous."
"How could that be? It's those shameless people who try to seduce you."
Bonnie just smiled and didn't say anything.
Ivor switched from holding hands to putting his arm around her waist. "So, does that mean you're agreeing?"
"I'll agree now, but you might think I'm not modest enough. So, I want to consider it for a few more days."
Ivor's face showed a mix of helplessness and indulgence.
"You're like an angel sent from heaven, specifically to torture me."
When Bonnie noticed that everyone was staring at them, she became uncomfortable. Despite her mental toughness, Bonnie was still a 20-year-old woman in her first romantic relationship, and she could not bear the attention of so many people.
