At the next moment, Bonnieâs eyes widened with rage.
She asked coldly, âAre you tricking me? Ivor panicked when he saw her reaction.
âI was just trying to spook you. Bonnie huffed and balled her fists. After a couple of seconds of silence, she shoved him aside aggressively. âI canât stand it when people lie to my face.
âI'm sorry. I was justâ"
âThatâs enough. I donât want to hear it. Do you think itâs funny trying to play me for a fool? Well, I think itâs childish! Slipping out of bed, she straightened up her swimsuit and left without glancing at him.
âBonnie!â He panted lightly, took off after her, and held her waist.
â1 know Iâm childish. I shouldnât have resorted to getting your love and concer this way. Now that |
think about it, I realize itâs childish and something Iâd never have done normally. Iâve no idea why I did something like this. Perhaps being in love does mean acting like a fool. âLet me go.â
She said with a blank expression.
Instead of doing what she said, he wrapped his arms around her waist tighter.
âI wouldâve been pissed off if I were you too. After all, I shouldnât toy with something like this. Isnât it true that what matters is that we learn from our mistakes? Please forgive me, Bonnie. Give me one more chance. I swear, I wonât do something like this ever again. However, she was pissed off right now. So, all she wanted was some privacy and silence.
âI wonât repeat myself. Let me go. Otherwise, you wonât see me again. It felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart, and the blood in his veins was frozen. Even his breaths grew weakcr.
âIs this how it feels to break up with the lady you love?"
â1âm going to count to three. One! He let go of her immediately, not willing to risk it.
Then, she left the villa without so much as a glance at him. He watched as she went and couldn't help but feel disheartened.
âBuzz buzz buzz...â Ged was calling him.
Ged hit him with a barrage of questions when he answered the phone.
âHow did it go, Ivor? Did you manage to win her heart? Hahaha! I know Iâm right! If you want to win a ladyâs heart, youâll have to sleep with her. She'll give it to you after that. You donât even have to ask.
âDonât you think you owe me a big one? How about some reward for your matchmaker? He said a lot. Then, he realized Ivor was eerily quiet.
âIvor? Why arenât you saying anything?
âHello? Can you hear me?
âIvor... âShe broke up with me.â It was a brief response , but it was enough to silence Ged.
He didnât find his voice until after a long time. âBreak up? Are you sure thatâs the right word? You guys werenât even a couple in the first place. He intended it as a joke to liven up the conversation.
The next thing he knew, he felt Ivorâs signature coldness through the phone.
âAhem! âThat was just a joke. Letâs get serious now. What on earth happened? Did you do everything like I said? It should've worked. How did it backfire on you? Ivor took a deep breath. His face was grim, and his eyes were filled with misery.
âStay put. I'll be there in a minute.â Ged hung up the phone and rushed over to his friendâs side.
