I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 618

All of a sudden, Bonnie heard a familiar voice.

“You’re finally here, Bonnie. We’ve been waiting for you.”

She turned around and saw Grant and Carlee marching over to her. She knew why they were looking for her but feigned ignorance nonetheless. She said dryly, “Is there anything you want?”

‘Although I’m Bonnie’s uncle, she talks to me in that tone. No wonder the others didn’t want to talk to her. No one can stand her attitude.

‘Still, she’s Master Kieran. I shouldn’t get mad over such a trivial matter. Bonnie alone holds the key to elevating the family’s status. I must flatter her and ensure she’s happy.’

At the thought of that, his smile grew wider. “Carlee and I are here to discuss something important with you, Bonnie.”

Then, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Avril sitting beside her. “Um, this is about our family. Can I have a private moment with you, Bonnie?”

Bonnie did not mind it. Furthermore, some things were better left unheard by anyone who wasn’t a family member. So, she looked at Avril and said, “Will you excuse me? I need to have a word with them.”

Avril considered Bonnie's capabilities and decided that these two weren’t a concern. Then, she did as Bonnie said and left them alone. “All right.”

Bonnie followed the couple and sat down before saying coldly, “Is this better? Can you say what’s on your mind now?”

Her attitude made Grant quite angry, but he thought about how she was Kieran and shoved his anger deep. “Here’s the thing, Bonnie. The family knows you’re Master Kieran now. I came to talk to you about it.”

‘I knew they were looking for me because of that.’

“Aren’t I sitting right here already? Just cut to the chase and stop beating around the bush.”

Grant said directly, “I know you’ve never forgiven us for kicking you out of the family. However, are you seriously going to hold the grudge for this long? Your parents have long stopped blaming you. It’s just a little hard for them to talk to you. That’s why we came on their behalf.

“They’re older than you. So, I hope you’ll do your duty as a daughter and back down. Give yourself and your parents a chance to patch things up.”

Bonnie scratched her ears absentmindedly and said casually, “Yeah, so?”

That wasn’t an answer at all. For a minute there, Grant was stumped and didn’t know how to proceed. Taking a deep breath, he monitored her attitude and tried to probe her, “I know you’re upstanding and care a lot about family.

“We misunderstood you before. I think you intended to repair your relationship with your parents but didn’t know how to take the first step. So, how about you make a painting for them? I’ll take it back and show it to them. Once they see your painting, they’ll forgive you for your wrongdoings.”

Bonnie folded her arms and looked at him disdainfully. Her posture and her gaze carried a thick sense of sarcasm.
