I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 657

Ivor relaxed his grip on Bonnie and stared at her affectionately. He said, “As far as I’m concerned, you’re a gift from heaven. You’ve given me so much happiness without doing much. All I have to do is look at you to fill my heart with gratification.

“That’s why I’m worried heaven might reclaim you someday. If that happens, I can’t see you anymore. I-I can’t lose you, Bonnie.”

Ivor’s eyes reddened, and his charming voice sounded uneasy. His fear of losing her was evident.

Bonnie felt his profound unease and hugged him back. She patted his shoulder and soothed him, “You’re the most fearsome businessman in the industry. Where’s your unwavering confidence and resolution? Does being with me unravel your confidence this much?”

She could sometimes feel Ivor’s lack of security whenever he was with her. However, Bonnie was not the best at being in a relationship, and she did not know what to do to make him feel better.

Ivor pressed his forehead against Bonnie’s, saying, “It’s because I love you too much. I’d shrink you and put you in my pocket if I could. That way, I can take you anywhere with me. Also, you’re such an incredible person that countless guys flirt with you wherever you go. I fear someone will steal you from me if I let down my guard for even a second.”

Bonnie was surprised that he was so vulnerable inside when he had always appeared strong before others.

‘Frankly speaking, I’m partly responsible for that. Ivor has taken the lead and prepared all these surprises, while I’ve only been on the receiving end. I never give him anything. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t feel safe, even though we’re together.’

With that in mind, Bonnie held his hands and said, “I understand that, but I hope you can have more self-confidence. I’ve always trusted in my taste. If I love something, it’s because it’s the best thing ever, including you.
