I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 851

“You might be overthinking it, Ivor. I wouldn’t do anything without you knowing.”

Ivor’s frown deepened as he asked, “Are you sure? I can’t shake the feeling that you’re acting weird today.”

Bonnie was about to reply, but Avril interjected, “Bonnie needs to deal with campus affairs today, Ivor. She was just worried about her work when you called. She was in the middle of her work just now.”

When Ivor heard that, he understood the situation and responded, “Oh, that’s what it was. I guess I should get out of your hair then.”

“Okay, I’ll call you when I finish work.” With that, Bonnie hung up and rested her cheek on her hand. She sighed and said, “What will Ivor think when he realizes I lied to him? He’s going to be pissed!”

‘I know I promised Andreas I’d become his consort because it’s an emergency. Still, he’s pressuring me to uphold my promise. That makes the whole thing different.’

The more Bonnie thought about it, the more convoluted it seemed. Her headache became unbearable, too. She could rub her temples all she wanted, but it did not make her feel better.

Avril said, “What kind of question is that? Of course, Ivor will be mad! That’s why you must never tell him about it!”

“You’re overreacting.” Bonnie frowned.

“Gosh, you think? Ivor gets jealous easily. Of course, he’ll turn green with envy when he learns about it! I don’t have to tell you how it ends if that happens. You should keep it a secret. That’s the only way you can save your relationship with Ivor.”

The more Avril talked about it, the more dire it sounded. It was almost like the world would end if Bonnie told Ivor about this incident.

‘Avril has a point, but I made Ivor promise never to lie. Now, it looks like I’ll have to lie to him. I feel awful.'

With that in mind, Bonnie looked at Avril and sighed helplessly, asking, “Are you sure I can’t tell him about it?”

Avril held Bonnie’s shoulder and said solemnly, “You can never tell Ivor about it, ever! You’ll suffer if you do. I have faith that you’ll resolve things regarding Prince Andreas. After that, you’ll have a happy ending without worrying about Ivor finding out.”

‘I don’t want to lie to Ivor about anything, but I must admit that Avril’s right. I only need to tell Andreas to give up on me because I don’t feel the same. Then, he’ll return to his country, and it’ll be like none of this ever happened.’

With that in mind, Bonnies guessed there was no need to create more misunderstandings between her and Ivor over Andreas.

‘Ivor is so possessive of me. He’ll raise hell if he finds out I promised Andreas I’d become his consort. Now that I think about it, it’s pretty severe.’

Bonnie rubbed her chin and considered her options before accepting Avril’s suggestion. The former would resolve the matter with Andreas, and it would be as if nothing ever happened.

Meanwhile, Avril got worried when she noticed Bonnie’s silence. The former asked, “Bonnie, are you listening? You can’t tell Ivor about this. Think about yourself!”
