Listening to Ivor’s teasing, Bonnie raised her eyebrows and asked, “Is this the first time you’ve realized that?”
Ivor was momentarily stunned, then chuckled, “Honey, I’m already so upset, and you’re adding salt to the wound instead of comforting me. You’re really ruthless!”
Bonnie rolled her eyes at him. “Do you think you look upset?”
Ivor covered his chest, pretending to be heartbroken, but before he could say anything, Bonnie interrupted, “Alright, alright, stop acting. It’s over the top.”
She stood up from the sofa and headed towards the bathroom. “Let me wash my face first, then we’ll go greet Grandpa. It’s not good to keep him waiting too long.”
Ivor smiled and agreed. “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”
Bonnie washed her face and exited the bathroom, and then she and Ivor went to the living room together.
Sigmund noticed them as soon as they entered. His face lit up with a smile when he saw Bonnie.
“Bonnie, did you rest well? If you’re still tired, you can go back to your room and rest. We can talk in the morning.”
Maisie chimed in, “Yes, you must be exhausted. A short rest is not enough. Go back to your room and rest.”
