I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 1204

Bonnie tried to soothe Ivor, hoping he would not feel disappointed over what she said earlier. She could feel how much he missed her throughout their conversation.

Ivor had a lot of fun talking to his wife, but she felt like a killjoy for asking him to hang up. She knew he would be disappointed and regretted treating him that way. However, she had no choice.

‘Tonight’s dinner might be Billy’s greatest test, so I must prepare for it. Otherwise, he might catch me off guard, and I don’t have a backup plan. If that happens, I’ll be in real danger.’

Ivor was reluctant to hang up but did not want to slow down her work. He also did not want her to feel bad for hanging up on him. Therefore, he chirped, “It’s okay, honey. Go and attend to your research. You can call me whenever you’re free.”

Bonnie struggled to adjust to Ivor’s cooperativeness. She pursed her lips and probed, “Ivor, are you mad at me?”

He was stunned before chuckling. “What? Of course not. Something happened at the research institute, right? Why would I be mad at you for hanging up?”

“Well, it’s hard for us to chat this freely, and I’m hanging up because of something that happened here. I was worried you’d consider me selfish.” Although Bonnie had an important task, she felt terrible about hanging up, even though her husband said it was okay.
