I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 1058

After Ivor said his piece, Bonnie stood beside him to show he protected her.

Gunnar knew how much Ivor doted on Bonnie. The former said those things earlier because he thought his nephew was not around. Gunnar never expected Ivor to rebuke him so blatantly.

Sydney’s expression grew cold as she said, “Ivor, we’re your aunt and uncle. Gunnar said that with your best interest in mind. It’s only a matter of time before you regret doting on Bonnie.”

Ivor held his wife’s shoulder and smiled. “I appreciate your kind reminder, Aunt Sydney, but I have no use for it. Bonnie and I know how to handle our marriage. Although you might be my aunt and uncle, that doesn’t mean you can intervene in our relationship.”

Sydney was furious when he twisted her good intentions. She wanted to retort but could not find the words.

Gunnar knew his wife would only get angrier if they stayed. So, he said, “That’s it, Dad. We’ll be leaving now. We’ll see if we can visit you tomorrow.”

Sigmund waved at him and said, “See you soon.”

When the older couple left, Sigmund looked at Bonnie and said apologetically, “Those two have the wrong idea about you, Bonnie. They’re decent people. You just have to brush off what they said about you.”

Bonnie giggled. “I’m not that petty, Grandpa. That’s the worst they can do to me. They’ve never done anything too severe, so I get what you’re saying.”

Gunnar and Sydney could badmouth her all they wanted, but they would never benefit. Since that was the case, Bonnie did not care about them.

Sigmund felt relieved. “That’s the spirit. I’m old and only want to see my family be peaceful. The last thing I want is for you to hate each other.”
