I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 878

“Exactly. It was a critical situation back then. His heart almost stopped beating. He put his life on the line to save mine, after all. That’s why I—”

“Stop. I’ve heard enough.” He sounded a little fierce.

She stared at him, puzzled. Then, she looked at the blank expression on his face and became more confused. “Are you mad at me?”

‘We’ve known each other for so long, and this is the first time he has talked to me like this. It hurts. After all, he had always been gentle with me. How could he talk to me so fiercely? It’s so different from how he usually is. I don’t think anyone could take it!’

“I’m…” He was about to explain himself when he caught the pain in her eyes. She looked like an innocent and lovable deer.

How was he supposed to keep being angry at her when she looked like that? His heart continued to soften until nothing but affection remained.

Ivor could no longer control himself. He pulled her into his arms and said, “I wasn’t trying to talk fiercely to you, Bonnie. I was just trying to tell you I understand what you’re saying. So, there’s no need for you to keep explaining yourself.”

At first, she was stunned. Then, she asked, “So, you’re not mad at me? Don’t you blame me for what happened?”

Her tone sounded more vulnerable and adorable, which further softened his heart.

“I was angry at first, but I never thought about blaming you. It’s because it’s you, Bonnie. You can do anything you want to me.”

With that, Ivor shook his head and smirked. “I never know what to do with you. I think the universe sent you here to torture me. You’re like a succubus.”
