"Here, it's this one." After taking the box, Bonnie scrutinized it momentarily, then suddenly remembered. "Oh... I remember now. This is the wedding gift Avril gave me. She reminded me to open it in the room, but I have no idea what's inside."
When Avril gave her the gift and said those words, Bonnie suspected that whatever was inside must be scandalous. Nevertheless, she accepted it because it was probably not too extreme. She would've forgotten if she hadn't accidentally kicked it.
There was a mysterious smile in Ivor’s eyes upon hearing this. "I think there should be something good inside."
Bonnie felt a bit speechless. "You haven't even seen it, and you already know it's something good?"
"Just a guess, I suppose it should be something good." Ivor raised an eyebrow at Bonnie. "Why don't you open it and see?"
Bonnie thought, since she already had it in her hands, she might as well open it. "Okay."
She bowed and cautiously lifted the box's cover. But her cheeks blushed at the sight of the red, alluring fabric inside the box, and she closed the lid hastily. It seemed she had underestimated Avril's audacity.
Avril had never been in a romantic relationship, yet she dared to give her something so sensitive. It left Bonnie at a loss for words.
Seeing Bonnie's strange expression, Ivor was curious. "Honey, what exactly is it? Why are you so flustered?"
Bonnie shook her head, attempting to hide the box behind her. "It's nothing, just a little something between girls. Y-You're not allowed to look!"
The more Bonnie didn't want Ivor to see, the more he wanted to. "I won't look, but you have to tell me, what little thing is it?"
Bonnie bit her lip, and her face scarlet. It was embarrassing for her to tell a man about this thing! So she silently cursed Avril. This girl had really given her a time bomb, leaving her unsure how to handle it. Well, she couldn't let Ivor see it, or he'd definitely make her wear it...
"Why aren't you saying?" Ivor vaguely guessed what it was but still pretended to ask. At the same time, he seized the opportunity to slowly reach behind Bonnie.
"I said it's something between girls, so don't ask. Even if I tell you, you wouldn't understand." Bonnie kept thinking about how to deal with the box in her hand.
She couldn't let the man see what was inside the box! Ivor suddenly leaned closer to Bonnie, and in her daze, he took the box hidden behind her.
"If you won't tell me, then I'll just see it myself."
Bonnie rushed over and tried to snatch the box back from him. "Give it to me, give it to me quickly, don't look!"
Ivor hugged Bonnie's waist, held her in his arms, and then opened the box with his free hand.
As Bonnie saw this scene, she hurried to try to stop him by extending her hand. "Don't!"
