"I know it. You're the one who loves and cares about me the most." His lips curled into a big smile. Obviously, Ivor was exhilarated.
"Take a bath, now." Bonnie nagged at him again.
"Gotcha." He walked into the bathroom with a smile.
Half an hour later, he came outside and blew dry his hair briefly. Then, he slipped underneath the blanket and held her in his arms.
Smelling the sweet fragrance from her hair, he felt as if the exhaustion had been lifted off from his
shoulder.
'Sometimes, all I want is to stare at her quietly while I hold her. We don't even have to do anything. Simple moments like these are more than enough for me.'
Meanwhile, she browsed her phone and let him hold her.
He held a strand of her hair and twirled it with his finger, feeling the serene and soothing sensation she brought for him.
Then, something popped into his mind and the sparkle in his eyes grew slightly dimmer.
Moments later, he turned her head around and stared into her eyes. "I have to tell you something, Bonnie."
"Lay it on me." She then yawned. Obviously, she was tired.
"Well. My work at one of the neighboring countries isn't done. I'm afraid I'll have to go over there and deal with it again." He had to say it because Floyd managed to make a breakthrough in the investigation.
'I'd love to stay at home and keep her company. Heaven knows how reluctant I am to leave her alone. However, I have to travel to Yale again for the sake of the 1.6 billion dollars as well as the chip. I have to catch Falcon.'
That stunned her. "Are you trying to say that you have to travel to the same country and stay there for a good while again?"
'If that's true, then thank the sweet Heavens! I'll take advantage of his work trip and travel to Yale. That way, he won't be suspicious of me.'
On the other hand, he thought he had upset her. So, he explained hastily,
"I know I spent a long time away from you. Please, don't be mad at me. I'm going to do my best to wrap up my job early, so I can come back home and be with you as soon as possible. It's a promise."NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
She couldn't help but laugh. "You're going off to work, not for a holiday. Why should I be mad at you? Do you think I'm that petty?"
"Of course not. You're the most beautiful and generous lady I know." He cupped her face and planted a kiss on her cheeks. "I'm just worried that I'm not good enough for you."
She wrapped her hands around his neck and said, "You're already doing wonderfully, Ivor. Stop giving yourself such a hard time. What matters is that we understand each other's needs. I couldn't ask for more than that."
"You're right." He pulled her into his arms. "I think we're going to be apart for several days again, Bonnie."
"It's okay. Work takes precedence over everything." In her mind, she was already planning to travel to Yale the moment Ivor was out the door. She needed to plant some traps for Falcon.
That was why she didn't even notice Ivor's eager, lustful eyes. He could eat her up right then.
"Do you honestly have no idea what I'm hinting at? Or, are you just playing dumb?" He pressed his body against hers as he spoke.
All of a sudden, she felt something prodding her down there and blushed, her face bright red.
"Hey... What are you doing, you big pervert?"
"We're married, Bonnie. So, this is just a normal interaction between husband and wife. I'm not a pervert," he said as he started fondling her.
Her cheeks looked like they were covered with a layer of rouge, making them look exquisite. He couldn't help but lower his head and nibbled on her cheeks.
