I Love You, Miss Genius
Chapter 185
Bonnie had expected Ivor to question her, so she came prepared. âMy nameâs Fanelli.â
She used Welmaâs surname as her alias.
âCare to join me for dinner, Dr. Fanelli?â Ivor extended an invitation.

Bonnie lowered her gaze, knowing he still harbored doubts. In that case, decided to play along. âSince you were kind enough to invite me, I wonât decline.â Soon after, the duo had dinner in a luxurious private room at Jade Horizon Hotel. Ivor even ordered an extravagant feast. He then raised his glass, saying, âCheers to you, Dr. Fanelli.â
While reaching for her mask, Bonnie noticed Ivor staring intently. With the mask off, âsheâ clinked her glass with Ivor. After seeing âhisâ face, Ivor calmly lowered his gaze. Indeed, he had overthought.
Later that evening, Ivor returned to the villa alone and saw Bonnie sitting on the couch, watching the news. He casually approached and sat beside Bonnie. â Youâre different from other girls. Most of them donât enjoy watching the news.â
The two sat close to each other, almost touching shoulders. Bonnie felt uncomfortable and scooted over a little, asking, âSo, howâs your grandma doing?â
âThe doctor is highly skilled and dependable. Grandma should be as good as new in six months.â
âWow, thatâs impressive,â Bonnie replied nonchalantly.
Ivor had been observing Bonnie since he entered the house. Still, the latterâs gaze remained on the TV, showing no emotional fluctuations. Ivor frowned and asked, âWhen will the team finish building Lenfield Resort?â
âHamish said they should finish it next month, around the time school starts,â Bonnie replied as she continued to watch TV.
Suddenly, Ivor reached for her shoulder and turned her to face him. His voice carried a hint of pleading, âCanât you stay here just a little longer?â
Bonnieâs heart softened momentarily, but reason quickly overcame her
emotions. âIâll feel like a sugar baby if I stay any longer. Iâm uncomfortable with that.â
âI donât see it that way at all.â

âI know, but I do,â Bonnie said firmly, determined to move out.

Seeing Bonnieâs resolve, Ivor did not insist further. He knew this would be the outcome, but it was still hard for him to accept. He reminded Bonnie, Remember, you owe me a favor.â
Of course, Bonnie remembered. She had promised Ivor during the final race that she would agree to his favor if it were not excessive, like getting married.
âFine, lay it on me. Whatâs the favor?â
âI want to take you to the beach this Saturday. Just the two of us.â
Bonnie caught on. âAre you planning something?â
âYouâre smart. Youâre the only one Iâve set my eyes on, after all,â Ivor said proudly, âSo, do you agree? Itâs not an unreasonable request, right?â
After some thought, Bonnie asked skeptically, âYou wonât make me wear a revealing bikini or anything, will you?â
âDo you think Iâm that pervy?â Despite his composed tone, he had considered it before.
Bonnieâs eyes suddenly widened as she looked at him. âYou wonât be naked, right?!â
Ivor chuckled, enjoying the banter. âI can do that if youâre interested in seeing my package.â
