I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 1079

Instead of pushing him away like she usually did, Bonnie welcomed his kiss. Both of them kissed intensely as if they were trying to absorb each other into their own beings.

They remained kissing for more than ten seconds before she pushed him away.

She regulated her breathing and said in a husky voice, “Go on. Don’t make Floyd wait for you too long.”

Staring at her red, swollen lips, Ivor gave her another passionate kiss before pushing her away.

Rubbing her cheeks longingly, he said, “I’m leaving for real now. I want you to miss me when I’m gone.”

She found that amusing. “Alright. What makes you think I won’t?”

“Well…” He couldn’t help but grumble, “The moment you get started on your research, you’ll forget about eating and sleeping. Sometimes, you’d even forget about drinking, let alone miss me.”

She promised him with a smile. “I guarantee that I’ll miss you this time. Alright?”

He nodded, satisfied. “That’s more like it.”

“Alright. That’s enough. Stop being lovey-dovey here. Hurry up and go. Floyd’s waiting for you outside.” She gave him a gentle shove.

“Remember, you have to miss me while I’m gone! Also, I don’t care how busy it gets in the research institute, you have to eat your meals in a timely manner!”

He was so concerned that she couldn’t take good care of herself that he couldn’t stop himself from nagging at her.

“Alright. I said I got it. You’re prattling on like a grandpa. I’m an adult, for crying out loud. Do you honestly think I can’t look after myself?” She might’ve sounded impatient, but there was a hint of joy in her tone.

Clearly, she was delighted by the way he was worried about her.

Patting her soft, flowing hair gently, the longing in his expression told her just how reluctant he was to leave. She also saw the deep love he had for her in his eyes.

In the end, she couldn’t bear to leave him like this. So, she rose and pecked his lips.

“Feeling better? You really have to leave now, Ivor.”

“Moreover, he told me every single detail in his life. So, what makes you think he won’t tell me about it if he’s going somewhere that far?”

“Now that you put it that way, I guess you have a point,” he said.

Colin thought, ‘However, I just can’t shake the feeling that something’s off. But if Bonnie couldn’t sense it, then I’m not going to comment much on it.

“The last thing I want is for me to speak out of place and compromise their relationship.’

“Alright. That’s enough. Hurry up and make the preparations. We have a plane to catch tonight.” She rose from her bed and went to the restroom to freshen herself up.

‘Actually, I don’t have to act so hastily, but the fact remains that I have no idea when Ivor is going to wrap up his work on his project. That’s why every minute counts.

‘I don’t want to be caught in the middle when he finished his work while I’m still busy hunting down Falcon at Yale. That’d be a huge mess.’

On the other hand, Collin knew that they were racing against time. So, he dropped the matter. “Roger, chief. I’m going to make the arrangements right away.”
