“Stop it, Ivor. I know that already. Although it might not bother you, I’ve heard that one too many times.”
Ivor smiled and chuckled before leaning closer to her. He whispered, “We just started our relationship, yet you’re already tired of it? Well, too bad because I’ll tell you how much I love you for the rest of my life.”
Bonnie might have thought he sounded childish, but a wave of love and affection rose within her. She slowly smiled and said, “Is that your way of saying I’ll be stuck with you forever?”
“I’m afraid so. You’re the only one for me, Bonnie. You’ll be mine for eternity.” Ivor’s voice brimmed with affection and solemnness. Moreover, he consistently proved his words with his actions.
Bonnie turned to Ivor, her eyes full of confidence as she replied, “Yeah, we’ll be together forever. Nothing can split us apart.”
It was her first time saying something like that to Ivor. He was overjoyed when he heard it. “You make me love you more just when I think it’s impossible.”
“There you go again with the sweet talk.” Bonnie could not handle him sometimes. She turned away and closed her eyes. “It’s getting late, so hurry and grab some shut-eye. Otherwise, we’ll oversleep and miss the sunrise.”
“All right, good night, Bonnie.” Ivor turned to his side and rested his hand on her waist.
Bonnie instinctively motioned to pry his hand off, but something stopped her. Then, she withdrew her hand and left his hand around her waist.
Ivor noticed it and smirked, his eyes full of intense humor.
‘She’s so adorable.’
