I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 999

“You’re just a poor, single man. You don’t know the half of it! Shut up.”

He shrugged and made another snide remark before he clammed up.

“Tsk tsk tsk. I can’t even say the obvious truth now.”

She glared at him once more.

He felt a chill down his spine at once and made a gesture to zip his mouth. “Alright, I’ll shut up now. For real, this time.”

She tore her gaze away from him, took a deep breath, and answered the call.

“Aren’t you supposed to be busy at this time of day? How do you find the time to call me?”

Initially, Ivor wanted to see her pretty face, but he saw nothing but pitch black on the screen and frowned.

“Why didn’t you turn on your camera, Bonnie? I want to see you.”

“Huh?” She paused for a little while and came up with an irrefutable excuse.

“I-I’m taking a shower now. I can’t turn on my camera.”

He had a hunch that something was unusual with her voice and asked, “Do you usually take showers at this time of day? What’s more, you took a long time to answer my call.

“You’re really making me wonder if it’s because you don’t miss me.”

She sighed internally. ‘He’s just so perceptive. He basically guessed half of my thoughts. Never mind. I’m tough and smart enough to trick him.’

She responded calmly, “I took a lap around campus earlier. So, I felt sticky when I came back home. It’s very uncomfortable. That’s why I’m taking a shower now.
