I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 723

“I wish you good luck, Shane,” although Xavier responded calmly, he gloated inside.

‘Bonnie and Hamish’s relationship couldn’t be any better. If Shane wants to approach Hamish to go against Ivor, it’ll be Shane’s demise. I can already imagine how miserable Shane looks after getting rejected by Hamish. It’ll be worse than when I rejected him.’
