I Love You Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) CHAPTER 27

Chapter 27

Bonnie raised her brow. She had a strange feeling that he sounded jealous.

“I had to tell my family I was moving out,” she said, as she dragged her suitcase toward the stairwell.

“Let me help you.” Ivor strode over and took the suitcase from her.

Bonnie threw Ivor a baffled look. Wasn’t he upset?

“It’s okay. I can do it.”

Bonnie tried to take the suitcase back.

But Ivor refused to let it go and carried it upstairs himself.

He reached her room, pushed the door open, and went in.

Bonnie was bewildered. Didn’t he say he would never set foot in her room?

She went into the room and thanked him politely.

“Thanks.”

“You’re welcome.”

After two seconds, Bonnie saw that Ivor wasn’t leaving and grew puzzled.

“You can go now.”

Ivor frowned.

“Let’s play another round.”

Bonnie realized he wanted to play chess with her.

“It’s late, and I need to go to school tomorrow. We’ll do this some other time, okay?”

Ivor checked his watch. “Huh, I guess it is late.”

The room fell into awkward silence again.

Bonnie stared at Ivor. Why wasn’t he leaving?

Ivor frowned. He realized Bonnie was probably going to tell him to leave and quickly said, “So how did it go with your family?”

“I told them I’d be staying somewhere else for a month.”

“And they agreed to that? They didn’t ask you anything? Weren’t they worried about you moving out? “Ivor asked.

“I lied. I said I was moving out to prepare for the college entrance test.”

Ivor knew Bonnie had been doing badly at school. He hesitated for a moment and said, “I graduated from high school years ago, but I can tutor you in subjects like English and math.”

He wanted to tutor her? Did he really think she was struggling at school?

“Thanks, but no thanks. I don’t need any help.”

Ivor thought he had upset her because he had been too blunt.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.”

Bonnie smiled. “I’m doing fine at school, and you could never hurt my feelings. Anyway, you should leave, Mr. Ivor.”

But Ivor remained where he was.

Bonnie got into bed, propped herself up on her side, and smiled at him.

“You don’t plan on sleeping here with me, do you?”

Ivor’s eyes lit up as he saw her curves and seductive yet innocent smile.

He couldn’t help but start to feel warm, and his ears started to turn red.

He turned around, coldly pushed the door open, and left the room.

The next morning, Bonnie got out of bed and went downstairs. She saw Neville anxiously scratching the back of his head.

As she approached him, she realized he was doing his homework.

“What’s the matter? Didn’t you finish your homework yesterday?”

Neville quickly shushed her.
