I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 828

"As long as I can see you, it's worth it," Ivor said, his tone calm and devoid of his usual playful teasing.

Bonnie could sense his seriousness and earnestness. Though Ivor often joked around, his current demeanor deeply touched Bonnie's heart.

Feeling an impulse, she stood up and gently kissed his handsome face. This was something she rarely did, and a blush spread across her cheeks.

"Consider that kiss a small comfort for coming to see me in the rain, but don't do this again. If you get sick, I won't take care of you."

Ivor was still absorbed in the joy of Bonnie's unexpected kiss. He touched the spot where she kissed him, his smile growing wider, unable to contain his happiness.

Seeing his overly pleased expression, Bonnie sighed and regretted kissing him.

"Did you hear what I said? Don't do this again."

Ivor finally came to his senses. He looked at Bonnie and nodded with a light smile. "Got it."

Just as Bonnie was about to speak, Ivor continued, "Honey, can I stay here tonight?"

He held up a hand in a promise as he spoke. "I swear I'll behave and not cross any boundaries."

Bonnie didn't respond immediately but quietly observed him. Just when Ivor thought she would disagree, she spoke.

"You can stay for the night, but you have to sleep in the guest room."

Ivor was already thrilled by the unexpected kiss from Bonnie tonight. Knowing her usual boundaries, this was a significant concession. If he insisted on sharing a room, she might get angry and kick him out. ‘Relationships need to progress gradually, not rushed.’

With these thoughts, Ivor nodded. "Sure, no problem. I'll sleep in the guest room."

"Alright, then get ready for bed. I'm tired and want to sleep," Bonnie said, yawning lazily with a hint of weariness in her eyes.

Seeing her exhaustion, Ivor said, "If you're tired, go rest. I know where the guest room is. I'll head there after I finish eating."

Bonnie was too tired to insist on staying with him. "Okay, take your time eating. I'm going to sleep."

"Goodnight," Ivor replied.
