Chapter âYeah, one If thatâs all hang up,â Bonnie added, have something say it for tomorrow.â
from her tone, Ivor could guess who called. He asked, Was that one of your family members âMhm Iâm meeting with them tomorrow at noon.
frowned. âArenât worried theyâre trying to cause trouble for you again?
Bonnie replied casually Itâd be weird if they didnât.â
If you know that, why did you agree to meet with them?â
âI mightâve cut ties with them, but weâre still somewhat connected. Iâm going because I want to cut off all remaining ties. Iâll have my life from tomorrow onward, and theyâll have theirs.â
Bonnie looked so cold and stubborn that it pained Ivor to see her that way. He stopped on the side of the road and unbuckled his seatbelt.
âWeâre not there yet. Whyâd you pull over? Are you-âIvor leaned over and silenced her before she could finish. Bonnieâs eyes widened, and she was about to push him off.
However, he embraced her and said, âOh, my poor Bonnie. Donât be sad. Remember that youâre not in this alone. Iâll watch your back and ensure no one picks on you.â
His voice was deep and husky as she enunciated each word confidently, making Bonnie feel safe. Her heart softened as she rested her chin on Ivorâs shoulder. She smiled and felt much better now.
Ivor and Bonnie reached Villa Number Eight in Lenfield Resort twenty minutes later. The former looked around, and his eyes glinted, saying, âItâs such a fantastic design! Did you hire Reuben Rice as your interior designer?â
Bonnie nodded. âYeah, he did all this Her response surprised Ivor. âReuben is well over ninety years old. He stopped taking commissions long ago. Howâd you convince him to help you?â
Chapter 313 âA friend mine helped that.â
âA friend?
Ivor squinted.
an image someone flashed his mind.
me itâs Heath. Heâs close to , he?â
Bonnie knew Ivor was jealous.
whoâs â
âclose me.â
Ivor knew she didnât him getting jealous everyone. So, he swallowed his pride.
How did he manage hire Reuben?â
Bonnie smiled Ivor and straightened his tie. âYouâre such a wise man, Ivor. Canât you tell who Heath really is?â
He was focused on her hands, which were still adjusting his tie. He was still indulging himself in it when she withdrew her hand. A moment later, she saw a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
âI know the Rice family is one of the wealthiest and most prominent families in Pyralis. They specialize in interior design. However, they rarely mingle with people in high society. So, how did you get to know Heath?â
âHuh? Itâs been so long that I canât remember.â Bonnie was not lying. After all, she knew so many people. She mightâve had an excellent memory but could not remember every little detail.
Since she could not remember, Ivor did not pry.
âWait a minute. I left something Grandpa gave us in the car.â Ivor turned and reached into his car to take an optimal disc.
âWhat is it?â Bonnie stared at the plainâlooking optimal disc in puzzlement.
