I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 858

The initially stunned Ivor grinned. “I knew it. You know me better than anyone else.”

He held Bonnie’s slender waist and pulled her close. “I don’t like any guy who gets too close to you. They should get their own fiancees or girlfriends. Why do they always swarm around mine?”

“Stop being so dramatic.” Bonnie shoved him aside. “He’s my friend, that’s all. We weren’t doing or thinking anything inappropriate. You just assume those things.”

Ivor remarked, “Although you don’t think that way, you can’t guarantee they don’t harbor impure thoughts about you.”

“So what if they do, Ivor? Are you seriously intervening in my social life? If we’re together, we must trust each other instead of whatever you’re doing now. You’re trying to shackle me over something unreasonable.

“It makes me feel like you don’t know what love is. Instead, you’re being selfish.” Bonnie did not mean to scold Ivor, but she had to so he would stop thinking about Andreas and ultimately figure out the truth.

As for the prince, everything would be water under the bridge once Bonnie resolved it.

Thinking Bonnie would get mad at him, a trace of panic flashed in Ivor’s eyes. He cupped her hands and said, “I’m sorry. I just care about you too much. I didn’t mean to make you feel shackled. I'll stop since you don’t want to talk about it.”

Ivor apologized so quickly that it made Bonnie realize she had been a little harsh on him. Moreover, she felt guilty. She held his hand and softened her tone, saying, “I didn’t mean to get mad at you. I just don’t like it when we’re suspicious of each other.

“I need trust instead of what’s happening now. You’re suspicious of me over something trivial for no reason.”

Ivor nodded solemnly. “I understand. I won’t doubt you again.”

“Great!” She replied and held his arm. “Let’s go home.”

Ivor smiled when he noticed Bonnie holding his arm.

…

The following day, Bonnie did not go to campus—instead, she went to her research institute. As for Andreas, he eagerly waited for her on campus, only to find out she was not coming to the university.

He tried texting Bonnie, but she did not reply. It made Andreas feel like she had no interest in responding to him. He could only stare at his phone and wait for a reply that would never come. Then, he rested his chin on his hand and sighed helplessly.

Avril, sitting nearby, heard his sigh. She could not help but ask, “What’s wrong, Andreas? Did something happen?”

Andreas sighed again. “I don’t know what happened, but Bonnie isn’t replying to my texts.”

At that moment, he remembered Bonnie and Avril as close friends. He stared at Avril and asked, “You’re Bonnie’s best friend, right? Can you tell me where she is and why she’s not replying?”
