I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 1001

Bonnie could never win against Ivor regarding such topics. She could only palm her forehead and say, You're the most smart-mouthed man I've ever known."

Ivor's smile widened. He would have embraced and fooled around with her if they were together now. Then, he grew disheartened when he remembered not knowing when he could see her again.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

His smile faded as he said, "I miss you so much, Bonnie. I wish you were with me."

Bonnie could feel her heart flutter when she heard the longing in his voice.

'I'd fly to where he is if I was in Pyralis, but I must deal with Falcon.'

With that in mind, her expression grew grim before she sighed helplessly. Even so, she did not forget to comfort Ivor, "It'll be okay. We'll see each other again once you finish working."

"Yeah, I'll do my best to wrap it up and return home to keep you company," Ivor said. Soon after, his car arrived. "I have to attend the meeting now. I'll talk to you soon."

Bonnie replied, "Okay, focus on your work. Don't worry about me."

After he hung up the phone, she leaned into her chair and sighed in relief. Fortunately, she had managed to trick her husband. A moment later, she caught Collin looking at her inexplicably.

Bonnie felt her cheeks and said, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Collin rubbed his arm and said in exasperation, "Have you and Mr. Ivor always been this lovey-dovey, Chief?"

He would not have believed it if he had not heard it himself. He had never heard Bonnie speaking to anyone so affectionately. After all, she had always been decisive, unforgiving, and uncompromising when dealing with the organization's members.

Although Bonnie tried to tone down her affectionate tone, Collin could still feel how special Ivor was to her. Her expression and tone differed significantly from her usual demeanor when talking to her husband.

"What kind of question is that?" Bonnie frowned. "Ivor's my husband. Who else will I act all lovey-dovey with? Am I supposed to do that with you?"

When Collin heard that, he recalled how gently she spoke to her husband.

'I can imagine the chief being that way with me, but I also can't help but be suspicious of her affection. I would feel like she can kill me anytime she wants.'

The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. He shook his head and stammered, "I-It was a joke, Chief! Save the lovey-dovey stuff for Mr. Ivor. You'll only show him genuine affection, after all. If you did that to me, I'd constantly wonder when you'd slap me."

Bonnie chuckled and said, "At least you know where you stand."

Collin sighed helplessly. "Yeah, I guess you're right. No one else will receive the same affection Mr. Ivor gets from you."

She rolled her eyes. Then, she had an idea and said coldly, "All right, stop pretending to feel sorry for yourself! I know what kind of person you are. I'll give you a crucial task now. Assemble a team to track Falcon down immediately after we return to the hotel.

"Under no circumstances will you let the Dark Knights get to him first. I want you to catch Falcon and bring him to me, and I'll deal with him myself!"
