I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 984

“I do have a project I need to liaise with overseas. My people don’t have any idea how they should deal with it. So, I’m needed over there. I might have to go on a work trip.” His grip on her waist tightened as he spoke. “I’m not sure if you’ll get mad at me, though.”

At first, Bonnie was stunned. Then, she couldn’t resist giggling.

“If you have something to take care of, then go right ahead. Do I look like someone who’s so petty that I’ll get upset over something so insignificant?”

‘Actually, I was wrestling with myself about whether I should go to Yale and get the chip back myself. This is my chance to do exactly that!

‘If he’s on a work trip, I’ll be able to travel to Yale to deal with the stolen chip. That way, we wouldn’t get in each other’s way. Moreover, we’ll be able to reunite when both of us are done with our work. It’s a perfect solution.’

“I know you won’t get mad because it’s my work. What I’m trying to say is that I’m very reluctant to leave you alone. Honestly, I wouldn’t have parted ways with you if it wasn’t because this project is just too important to ignore.” He sighed, the longing in his tone was unmistakable.

Patting his arm, she comforted him, “There, there. We’re just going to be apart for a short time. It’s not like we won’t see each other again. Once you get back from your work trip, we can just pick up where we left off.”

While he knew what she was talking about, he couldn’t shake off his reluctance. However, he didn’t say anything further. All he did was hug her tightly and not let go.

She soothed him by patting his shoulder. Leaning on his chest quietly, she felt the warmth of his body and listened to his heartbeat.

‘It’s true. We’ll be able to see each other again once both of us are back home. However, I’m also feeling very reluctant to leave him right now.

‘With that said, I have to deal with the stolen chip. It’s very important. I should wrap it up quickly and come back home to keep him company as soon as I can.’
