I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 17

Bonnie looked up when she heard his question.

She knew Ivor would ask her that, so she had prepared an answer.

“I know someone who works at the research institute.

“Who? He must be someone important if he found out the news so early,” Ivor said.

“You could say that. But I can’t tell you who he is right now.”

Ivor narrowed his eyes. “That day, you told me you could help me secure the rights to the nanomaterial. It sounded like you were the person in charge.

Bonnie didn’t respond.

Ivor chuckled. “Ged says you’re full of shit. I heard that’s why your parents don’t like you.

“The collaboration didn’t happen just because you said it would. You knew Ms. Bonita would work with my company, which was why you told me that the other day.

“Well, you can think whatever you want,” Bonnie said nonchalantly.

Ivor was a little upset that she was dismissing him.

“Was that really what happened?”

Bonnie was getting impatient. She frowned. “What does it matter? You said you didn’t want to have anything to do with me when we first met. Why are you so interested in me now?”

“I’m not.”

“Good. Like I said, you’re not my type. You’d better not fall for me.”

The car grew quiet again as they ignored each other.

Bonnie’s phone dinged. It was a text from Heath that read, “Are you done with work? The Knight wants to have a game with you.”

Bonnie replied, “I’ll do it the day after tomorrow.” She would be tied up with her engagement.

tomorrow.

“Okay, I’ll tell him that.”

Ivor’s phone dinged as he received a text message.

It read, “The Shepherd says the day after tomorrow.”

Ivor was elated.

Bonnie looked up and saw him smiling in the rearview mirror.

She was surprised that a man like him could smile like that.

It did make him seem pretty charming.

When Bonnie arrived, she saw Neville waiting anxiously in the doorway. He dashed over when he saw

her.

“You need to leave now! My mom’s back. She’s going to give you a hard time!”

Neville tried to push Bonnie away.

“Huh? I don’t even know her! Why would she do that?” Bonnie was puzzled.

“Because she doesn’t approve of your marriage with my brother! My mom’s a fierce woman, and she doesn’t listen to anything my grandpa says. She came back from overseas just to get rid of you!”

Bonnie was suddenly reminded of what Heath had told her about the Knights.

As the wife of Sigmund’s second eldest son, Ivor’s mother was a tough cookie.

She had never been afraid of the wealthy Knight family. Five years ago, she had given Ivor’s father Willard Knight, a good beating before she left the family and went abroad.

Just as Bonnie remembered that, a woman dressed in a nun’s habit emerged from the house.

“Are you Bonnie Shepard? You’re quite pretty, I’ll give you that. But you and Ivor hardly know each. other. I’ll never approve of your marriage.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
