I Love You, Miss Genius

"Th-that's okay. I can walk just fine." Bonnie felt dizzy, and her body was burning up. She tried to stand but involuntarily staggered and fell instead.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Ivor quickly caught her to prevent her from falling. "Stop acting tough. You're drunk. Come on, I'll help you to the bedroom so you can rest."

"Burp!"

The scent of red wine mixed with Bonnie's natural fragrance, creating a seductive sensation. "Fine, but you must carry me, or I'll have to walk to the bedroom myself. That's too troublesome."

Ivor looked at her lovingly when he saw her hazy eyes and blushing cheeks. "Sure, I can carry you if you don't want to walk."

Bonnie wagged her finger at him and said, "Come here."

He did as she said. "All right, I'm here. What is it?"

Suddenly, she wrapped her arms around his neck. "All right, that's good enough. Now, I won't fall. Let's go."

She was not as calm and collected as she usually was because she was drunk. Instead, she behaved like a helpless girl.

Ivor grinned before carrying her. "Come on, I'll take you to the bedroom to rest."

Meanwhile, Alfred, hiding in the corner, saw everything. He gestured at the housekeepers.

As Ivor carried Bonnie upstairs, he was so close to her that he could feel her warm breath on his neck. He could also smell the red wine from her breath. Although he did not drink much, he was also a little drunk. 

On the other hand, Bonnie sensed something before gently touching his cheeks. "Why do you feel hot? Do you have a fever?"

"I don't have a fever." Ivor lowered his gaze and stared at her profoundly. "Do you want to guess why I'm hot?"

Bonnie lifted her chin and thought about something. She was about to answer him, but her drunkenness made her forget. She could not keep a clear mind, causing her to shake her head before responding, "I don't know. Why can't you just tell me?" 

He chuckled and tapped her nose lovingly. "You made me like this, silly."

"Huh?" Bonnie glanced at him. Suddenly, she understood what he meant when she realized she was still in his arms. "I get it now. You're hot because you carried me upstairs. You can put me down now. I can walk by myself." 

Ivor scoffed. "Do you think I'll let you go now?"

She was still in a daze, asking, "Hmm? What do you mean?"

He grinned and carried her to the bed before setting her down. Before Bonnie knew it, Ivor pinned her to the bed. He looked at her blushing cheeks and said charmingly, "Do you get my drift now?"

Bonnie was stunned as she met his profound gaze. Her eyes became misty, too. "Oh, I get it. You're trying to—"

Before she could finish, he pressed down on her and asked, "Tell me, what am I trying to do to you?"

She scoffed and blushed even more before turning away.
