With smiles of relief, the staff watched the sweet scene behind them.
"It seems that Mr. Ivor and Ms. Bonnie have reached a new level in their relationship."
"This is truly a cause for celebration! I'm so happy for Mr. Ivor."
"Yes, Mr. Ivor has been pursuing Ms. Bonnie for so long, and finally, he has seen the light at the end of the tunnel."
...
The whole villa was filled with a festive atmosphere as blessings poured in.
In the evening, Bonnie prepared a table full of dishes, all of which were Ivor's favorite foods. Leaning on his chin, a hint of satisfaction shone in his eyes while Bonnie bustled in the kitchen.
"This feeling is nice."
Bonnie glanced at him but didn't respond to his remark. Instead, she pushed a bowl towards him. "Let's eat."
Ivor leaned back in his chair and stared straight at Bonnie.
"Honey, I'm injured. Can't you feed me?"
Bonnie glanced at him. "I remember you're not that delicate and fragile."
Ivor shrugged and looked innocent.
"But I got hurt for someone. Oh well, since you're unwilling to feed me, I'll eat by myself."
With that, Ivor clumsily picked up his cutlery. After struggling to pick up a piece of vegetable, it fell back onto the table.
Then he tried again, but the same thing happened. The food dropped back onto the table.
Watching the whole process, Bonnie took a deep breath. She recalled how he had risked his life to protect her. So, his request for her to feed him wasn't too much.
Reluctantly, she picked up a piece of meat with her fork and brought it to his lips. "Eat."
Ivor knew Bonnie's patience was limited, so he didn't hesitate. He took the meat from her fork and savored it, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
"The dishes you feed me are always delicious."
