I Love You Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) CHAPTER 70
I Love You, Miss Genius
Chapter 70
âOkay.â Bonnie didnât resist and let Ivor lead her away.
Halle and Rowenaâs faces went from shocked to disbelief, all the way to denial. It was a sight to see.
âWhat on earth happened, Halle? Has Ivor really fallen for her? What should I do if that really is
true?â Rowena wa
upset. She looked like she was about to burst into tears.
âStop it. Ivor has taste. There was no way heâd fall in love with Bonnie.â
âYou say that, but he bought her an expensive dress. How do we explain that?â
âMaybe he just wanted to preserve the honor of his branch of the family.â
âWell⦠He held her hand too. Heâs never held any womanâs hands, not even mine. How do we explain
that?â
Halle scratched her head. She didnât have an answer for that. In fact, she would love to know.
When Bonnie and Ivor had walked far enough away from Halle and Rowena, she said, âThanks for that.â She raised her glass. Ivor lightly clinked her glass with his. âThat was my duty. No thanks are
necessary.
âAlthoughâ¦â She frowned slightly.
âWhat is it?â
She turned her head to look at Rowena, who wasnât that far away. Then, she shot a deliberate gaze at him. âShe seems to really like you. Havenât you just squandered your chance at a romantic relationship?â
His lips curled into a smile. âListen to yourself. Are you jealous?â
âIâm many things, but Iâm not jealous.â
Ivor had been a little happy, but he looked glum after he heard what she said.
Halle and Rowena were cooking up a plan to teach Bonnie a lesson. They were trying to find a way to
humiliate her.
They approached Bonnie again. Halle raised her voice so she could attract some attention to themselves. âYou once told me that you were good at flower arranging, Bonnie. What a coincidence.. Rowenaâs good at it too. Maybe you two should have a competition. It doesnât matter who wins. Itâll just add something fun to the party. What do you think?â
Ivor leaned closer to Bonnie and whispered, âDo you know your way around flower arranging?â
âI know enough to get by, but Iâve never told them that.â
Suddenly, it hit Ivor. They were doing this on purpose.

âHey, Bonnie! Why arenât you answering me? Are you going to chicken out? Like I said, it doesnât matter who wins. Itâs just a game. Are you going to disrespect us by turning us down? Or do you just think youâre too good for Rowena?â
The other guests heard the commotion and cast strange glances at Bonnie. They began to murmur.
Ivor squinted at the pushy Halle. As he started to say something, Bonnie stepped up.
âLetâs do it, but weâll need to have some stakes. Otherwise, itâll be a waste of time.â
âSure. Whatâs on your mind?â
