I Love You Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) CHAPTER 222

Chapter 222

“Are you saying that because they have something over you? There’s no need to be scared, Flynn. Mom’s here. I’ll keep you safe. Now, just tell them the truth. No one would dare to do anything to you!”

Sighing, Flynn looked at his mother with a resigned look on his face. “No one’s blackmailing me or anything, Mom. I did it because I was a reckless fool.

“I let my arrogance go to my head and wanted Bonnie for myself. I shouldn’t have thought that way and shouldn’t have resorted to such loathsome means.”

Realizing that her son felt guilty and regretful, Sydney was dumbfounded. Her jaw dropped, unsure of what she should’ve said at that very moment. She could only watch as Flynn got taken away again.

The night rolled on, and Ivor had just finished bathing when he heard Bonnie knocking on the door.

“It’s late in the night. Why aren’t you sleeping? What’s the matter?” His deep baritone sounded exceptionally pleasant in the quiet night.

Nodding, she said, “How about we take a stroll together? That is if you’re not too tired for it…”

“Not at all. I’m always ready to spend some time with you, honey!” He said chirpily.

She didn’t know if she should cry or laugh at that, “We’re not even a couple or anything. Don’t you think it’s too soon to be calling me honey?”

Ivor merely smiled without saying another word.

“Let’s go. The moon looks wonderful tonight, too.” He took a coat from the coat rack and put it on Bonnie. “Here, so you won’t catch a cold.”

She relaxed a little as she looked at the coat. Then, both of them walked side by side in the courtyard and chatted with each other for a while. They didn’t stop until they came upon the koi fish pond.

He handed her a tray of fish food and asked, “Do you want to feed them?”

“Sure.” She flung some of them into the pond several times before turning to look at him. “I’m sorry for stirring up this mess in your family. I know it happened because of me.”

“Don’t shoulder the blame, Bonnie. It isn’t even your fault, to begin with.” He was a little

heartbroken to hear what she said.

“That might be true, but Flynn wouldn’t have been deported out of Arvandor if I hadn’t shown up in your family.”

“Geez. Listen to yourself. Do you mean that the criminals didn’t do anything wrong when they murdered folks? Is it the victim’s fault for triggering them? Are you saying that the victims have no one but themselves to blame because they showed up before the criminals?”

Her lips twitched as she felt a giggle coming on. “I have nothing to say when you put it that way.”

Raising his hands, he held her shoulders and stared at her with unblinking eyes.

“That’s because I’m telling the truth.”

Her face couldn’t help but turn red when he fixed his gaze on her like this.

“I thought we were out here to chat. What do you think you’re doing?” Raising her hands, she pried his off her shoulder and resumed feeding the koi fishes.

Ivor was still staring at her like before. Bonnie’s side face looked silky and smooth underneath the soft glow of the moonlight, radiating tenderly.

Then, he moved his gaze to her shapely lips. They looked so tender and inviting that he started sensing a passionate heat spreading throughout his body.

His Adam’s apple rolled up and down expectantly as he took the sight in.

Initially, Bonnie focused on feeding the koi fishes. Then, she noticed something unusual about him. She put down the fish food and cocked her head to look at him.

“What’s the matter-”

Before she could finish, Ivor pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately.
