Bonnie knew her words meant a lot to Ivor. She stared into his eyes and uttered, “This villa will be our future home.”
Immediately after, an overwhelming sense of joy filled Ivor’s heart. He could not contain himself and hugged her tightly. “Oh, my dear Bonnie, I love you so much.”
Bonnie had never told him anything like that before. The fact that she did it now proved she had accepted him.
She felt how tightly he hugged her and thought it resembled his intense love for her. It enveloped Bonnie, making feel cleansed. The couple hugged each other for a long while.
Then, Bonnie pushed him gently and said, “All right, my stomach’s growling. Hurry up and make dinner.”
“Okay, you can continue watching TV. Leave the kitchen to me.” Ivor rolled his sleeves and picked up the bags from the floor before heading toward the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, Bonnie caught up to him and stood by the door, asking, “Are you sure you can do everything alone? Should I help?”
“That’s okay. You can take a break while I handle it,” Ivor said as he removed the ingredients from their bags and sorted them.
Bonnie stared at his toned arms and thought, ‘He looks like he’s been going to the gym. His muscles look much firmer now.’
Ivor noticed her star and quietly put down the things he held. Then, he approached her while she was still in her thoughts. “Bonnie, were you looking at my arms? Do you want to touch them?”
Bonnie snapped out of it and rolled her eyes. “Stop spouting nonsense and make dinner.”
She looked away and headed to the living room. Once she sat on the couch, she opened a bag of chips and started eating.
Ivor noticed it and could not help but nag, “Don’t have too many of those before dinner, or you’ll lose your appetite.”
Bonnie raised her brow and said playfully, “You’re not my dad.”
Although she said that, she put down the bag of chips and resumed watching television.
“No, I’m not your dad. I’m your future husband. If I don’t control you, who will?” Ivor’s eyes were full of joy when he said that.
On the other hand, Bonnie rolled her eyes and said, “That’s in the future. I’m not your wife yet.”
Ivor grew more joyful when he heard that. He replied, “It’s just a matter of time. You’ll be mine forever, and there’s no escaping it.”
Bonnie was about to retort when her stomach growled loudly.
