I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 836

Upon hearing this, Bonnie raised her delicately shaped eyebrows and asked. “Aren’t we friends already?”

“Yes, we’re friends now,” Andreas replied, instantly beaming like a child who had just received candy. His smile was pure and radiant.

Bonnie also curled her lips into a small smile when she saw him so happy. She continued, “Didn’t you say you had things to take care of? I’ll be fine here by myself.”

Andreas glanced at his watch and realized he was running late. He looked back at Bonnie and said, “I have to go now, but I’ll come back later to check on you.”

“Alright,” Bonnie agreed.

After handling his affairs that evening, Andreas returned and brought a plethora of delicious food for Bonnie. They chatted and ate together, discussing various topics.

Bonnie stayed at Andreas’s estate for three days. During her stay, their relationship grew much closer, losing the initial awkwardness of their first meeting. On the fourth day, Andreas arranged for bodyguards, and they set off to find the blue barberry.

Bonnie and Andreas traveled in the same car and passed the time by talking. Suddenly, Bonnie noticed something and furrowed her brow. “Andreas, do you see that? The car behind us seems to be following us. Is it one of your men?”

Following her gaze, Andreas looked back and saw the black car. He waved dismissively.

“That car isn’t mine, but I doubt it’s following us. The area we’re heading to has a lot of rare herbs, not just blue barberry, so many people go there daily. They’re probably just on the same route. Besides, who would dare to follow us with all our bodyguards?”

Bonnie glanced at the cars of bodyguards trailing them and then at the black car, which occasionally merged with the other vehicles, making it hard to distinguish. Despite Andreas’s reassurances, she felt uneasy and decided to stay alert.

Andreas noticed her furrowed brows and tried to reassure her with a smile. “There’s nothing to worry about. And even if something happens, I’ll protect you and ensure you’re safe.”

“I’m not afraid,” Bonnie replied, her tone exuding a natural confidence. “I just don’t want anyone interfering with my plans.” Her demeanor conveyed an unshakeable determination, indicating that no obstacle would deter her.

Andreas, having spent the past few days with Bonnie, had a sense that she was no ordinary person. Her mysterious aura fascinated him. “By the way, I forgot to ask earlier. What are you planning to do with the blue barberry? Though it’s rare, if misused, it can be highly toxic. I’m curious about how you intend to use it.”

“You’re right,” Bonnie acknowledged. “Blue barberry can indeed be toxic if misused. But I’m using it as a medicinal catalyst, combined with other herbs. It has various applications, such as beauty products, pharmaceuticals, and health supplements.

“Adding blue barberry enhances their effectiveness and safety. After extensive research, I discovered its potential and learned that it thrives in the climate here, so I came to find it.”

As Bonnie spoke knowledgeably, Andreas’s curiosity about her grew even more. “You’re about the same age as me, yet you know so much. I’m curious about who you are and your position in Arvandor.”

Bonnie responded with a playful wink. “Guess.”

Seeing that she wouldn’t divulge more, Andreas didn’t press the matter.
