I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265

‘I know what Mr. Ivor is thinking, but I don’t want to ask him about it. I don’t want to hear about his lovey–dovey story with Bonnie.‘

Suddenly, Ivor looked at Floyd, hinting for him to ask about his thoughts. The latter wished to wipe the sweat off his forehead, asking, “Um, what’s on your mind, Mr. Ivor?”

Ivor felt satisfied. He said, “I was just thinking about Bonnie. I wonder how everything’s going for her at the Shepards‘. Do you think they’ll pick on her again?”

Floyd pouted, thinking, ‘I knew it.”

“If I know Ms. Bonnie well enough, no one can pick on her. Also, didn’t you send Jim–I mean, Tim, to watch over her? Everything will be okay with him around, Mr. Ivor.”

“Tim Reid, huh?” Ivor mumbled.

Floyd’s heart raced as he stammered, “I–Is there something wrong with Tim?”

Ivor squinted and said, “There’s more to him than meets the eye.”

Floyd tensed as he thought, “That’s obvious. His real identity is Jim freaking Ryan!‘

Mairi, Avril’s mother, was celebrating her birthday today. So, Bonnie visited early in the morning.

Avril pulled Bonnie to her mother, saying, “Hurry, my mom can’t wait to meet you!”

“Bonnie, you’re finally here! I’ve been waiting to meet you!” Mairi held Bonnie’s hands warmly and looked at her affectionately. “I’m weak and ill, so I can rarely–mingle in high society circles. I’ve only ever heard about you until today.”

Bonnie giggled and said, “I don’t have a good reputation out there, unfortunately.”

“That’s nonsense.” Mairi frowned. “I don’t believe what people say about you. I find. most rumors unfounded. I only care about what my family thinks about you. Avril loves. You and Daken a

of your character.

“As far as I’m concerned, you’re all right. The people who twist the truth and spread. false rumors are nasty.”

Although it was Bonnie and Mairi’s first meeting, the former felt touched by what Mairi

said. Mairi took Bonnie’s hands and gestured for her to sit. “Come, you can sit next to me.”

Avril groaned and playfully complained, “Mom, how can you ignore your daughter just because Bonnie’s here?”

“Oh, don’t be jealous, sweetie.” Mairi looked at Bonnie and said, “Speaking of daughters, did Avril tell you about me wanting to become your godmother?”
