I Love You, Miss Genius



Sigmund looked at Bonnie helplessly. "Sydney's just a hothead. Don't let her get to you, Bonnie."

"It's okay. I'm used to her tantrums." Bonnie waved and checked the time. "There's still some time until the tea party. Should we play a round of chess to kill some time, Grandpa?"

This time, Sigmund quickly agreed. "All right, let's go. Otherwise, it'll start to get boring."

Bonnie realized why he kept turning her down when she asked him to play earlier. Apparently, he was waiting for Sydney to arrive and wanted to ask her to take Bonnie to the party. Even so, Bonnie did not expose Sigmund.

Bonnie turned to the butler and said, "Alfred, could you get us the rosewood chess set?"

"Right away, Ms. Bonnie." Alfred left to do as she asked.

Meanwhile, Sigmund rolled his sleeves and said, "I need to prepare myself mentally to play against you."

Bonnie could not help but giggle. "Do you have to be so dramatic, Grandpa?"

"I know I'm no match for you in chess, but I'm hopeful. After all, I might just get lucky and win a match."Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

A moment later, Alfred arrived with the rosewood chess set. Sigmund chose black pieces, leaving Bonnie with white ones. "Let's begin, Bonnie."

He looked so severe that she could not help but smile and comfort him, "We're just playing for fun. You don't need to be so nervous."

He laughed heartily. "Hahaha! You don't have to comfort me. I'm happy to play chess with you, even if it means I'll lose."

She decided to drop the subject and move a piece. Occasionally, Sigmund would ask Bonnie for pointers, and she would patiently guide him. The duo had an excellent time playing chess.

Later, afternoon arrived, and it was time for the tea party. Sigmund arranged for the chauffeur to take Bonnie there. When she reached the entrange, she saw Sydney looking left, and right. The latter frowned and approached when she saw Bonnie. 

"What took you so long, Bonnie? You're late!"

Bonnie did not expect Sydney to wait for her outside. The former checked her watch and said, "Grandpa told me the party's at three. I'm three minutes early."

Sydney was stumped but said sarcastically. "You just love using Ivor and Dad to throw your weight around. Do you think having them as your support makes you special?"

Bonnie shrugged. "That was never my intention. I can't help it if that's your perspective."

Those words ficked Sydney off. She was about to retort, but Bonnie added, "That said, I think having a strong support system does make me special. Did you point that @ut because you're jealous that yor and Grandpa dote on me?"

"I said nothing about being jealous! Please stop with your bullshit!" Sydney was so furious that she instinctively raised her voice.

Some women passing by turned and looked at her strangely. Sydney blushed when she noticed them. She tried pinning it on Bonnie, saying refuse to waste any more time on you. Come inside now. Don't just stand there while people laugh at you."
