âHow shameless are you?â Bonnie was a little speechless, but she did not withdraw her hands.
She knew, from experience, that it wouldnât help at all. Every time he grabbed her hands, it was as if he wanted to win an arm wrestling match. She could never pull her hands back.
âI donât think thereâs anything shameful about it. Weâre boyfriend and girlfriend. Itâs not like weâre having an affair or anything,â he said matterâofâfactly. âWait a minute. I need to get something from the trunk.â
Her lips twitched when she saw the trunk brimming with gifts.
âWhy did you prepare this many gifts?â
âI prepared gifts for your whole family. I even prepared some for your neighbors and the village eldersâ¦â
The more he spoke, the more speechless she got.
âI even prepared pocket money for the kids.â Then, he showed her piles of envelopes that were stuffed with cash.
There were no words that could describe what Bonnie was feeling at this moment âYouâve Investigated quite thoroughly, it seems. Iâd even say you did a better job than a detective.â
She noted, âThese gifts were bought according to my friends and familyâs preferences. He has done some homework before today.â
Looking at her lovingly, he said, âYouâre the most important person in my life. Iâm more than happy to do this for you. As long as youâre happy, Iâm happy âWhy do I get the feeling youâre trying to bribe everyone I know in the countryside?
What she said was on point, but his face didnât even turn red. Instead, he said matterâofâfactly.
âThis isnât bribery, Bonnie. Itâs about making people like me.â
He paused a little before he stared at her.
didnât just say a bunch of honeyed words to you. I mean it from the bottom of my heart. I want to win your heart and be the only man who has a place in it. I also want everyone around you to wish nothing but the best for us.
âI donât regret doing all of this for you.â
His voice was so deep and charming. At the same time, his eyes were brimming with so much love.
It was true. He was smitten and would love her and only her.
It wasnât that easy to make Bonnie fall in love with someone. However, her heart could just melt at that moment.
âLetâs head inside.â
He could sense that something had changed within her. He was so overjoyed that he wanted to do nothing but lift her and spin her in circles. However, she would never want him to do something like the, given their current situation. So, he had to hold it in.
At the same time, the Shepards staying in Pyralls received news about Bonnie.
âWhat? Did you say Bonnie has the richest man in Pyralls for a boyfriend?!â Vera was talking with a friend on the phone.
âExactly. A relative of mine knows an aunt who resides in the same village as Bonnie. She heard the Bonnie brought home a boyfriend and that the man was the richest person in Pyralis!â
