I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 1268

As Bonnie expected, Falcon called her out, “Now, hold on just a minute!”

She grinned and feigned ignorance, asking, “What, did you change your mind again? Do you want me to whip them or not?”

Falcon gritted his teeth, looking like he was trying to say something. However, he did not know where to start. After some thought, he said, “I was just kidding. You don’t have to whip them. You can return to your seat now.”

‘This Barrett guy is bugging the hell out of me! When I finally think I can expose him, he does something that makes me hesitate. I don’t know if he’s just playing dumb, but how does he keep avoiding my traps?!’

“Oh, okay,” Bonnie dragged out her voice, her eyes sparkling with playfulness. “If it was a joke, why are you looking at me like that?”

“What do you mean?” Falcon felt his cheeks, wondering if he had revealed his thoughts through his expression.

“Well…” Bonnie rubbed her chin and grinned. Then, she observed his expression and added, “I can tell you want me to whip those guys. Fine, I’ll do it, okay? I don’t want you and Mr. Billy to fight. I bet you’ll find it hard to explain yourself to him, too.”

She thought by saying that, Falcon would stop wanting her to whip those people on the stage.

Falcon felt stumped. It had been long since anyone had made him feel so powerless. He sighed to suppress his frustrations before saying, “Billy won’t scold me, but I’ve changed my mind. You don’t have to whip those guys. Just stay put, okay?”

Bonnie grinned again and sat on the couch. “If that’s the case, I’ll sit right here. Why don’t you join me? Aren’t you tired of standing?”
