Ivor couldn’t help but stare at Bonnie more profoundly when he saw how suspicious she was. He took brisk steps toward the bathroom and pushed the door wide open.
Her heart felt as if it had jumped to her throat. ‘It’s over!’
Her heart throbbed with the loud noise. She lowered her gaze. She knew Ivor must’ve been pitting himself against Collin, but she didn’t have the courage to witness the moment.
However, she heard nothing for a long time.
Raising her head, she looked at the bathroom, only to find that it was empty. There was nobody in there.
‘Eh? Where’s Collin? Did he jump out of the bathroom window? This is wonderful. It’s a good thing Ivor didn’t see him. I got lucky yet again.’
She let out a sigh of relief and raised her head. The next thing she knew, Ivor was staring into her eyes profoundly.
Her heart skipped a beat. Out of pure instinct, she pinched her nose tightly, as if she smelled something terrible.
“If you won’t trust me, then see for yourself. Rather, smell for yourself! Is it awful enough for you? I can’t believe you said I hid someone in there. What on earth are you thinking?!”
He didn’t smell anything different, but he did find it rather odd that there was a boot print left on the floor.
“If there’s no one else in there, then where did this dusty boot print come from?”
He directed his gaze at her feet.
