I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 1079

Instead of pushing him away like she usually did, Bonnie welcomed his kiss. Both of them kissed intensely as if they were trying to absorb each other into their own beings.

They remained kissing for more than ten seconds before she pushed him away.

She regulated her breathing and said in a husky voice, "Go on. Don't make Floyd wait for you too long." Staring at her red, swollen lips, Ivor gave her another passionate kiss before pushing her away. Rubbing her cheeks longingly, he said, "I'm leaving for real now. I want you to miss me when I'm gone." She found that amusing, "Alright. What makes you think I won't?"

"Well..." He couldn't help but grumble, "The moment you get started on your research, you'll forget about eating and sleeping. Sometimes, you'd even forget about drinking, let alone miss me."

She promised him with a smile. "I guarantee that I'll miss you this time. Alright?"

He nodded, satisfied. "That's more like it."

"Alright. That's enough. Stop being lovey-dovey here. Hurry up and go. Floyd's waiting for you outside." She gave him a gentle shove.

"Remember, you have to miss me while I'm gone! Also, I don't care how busy it gets in the research institute, you have to eat your meals in a timely manner!"

He was so concerned that she couldn't take good care of herself that he couldn't stop himself from nagging at her.

"Alright. I said I got it. You're prattling on like a grandpa. I'm an adult, for crying out loud. Do you honestly think I can't look after myself?" She might've sounded impatient, but there was a hint of joy in her tone.

Clearly, she was delighted by the way he was worried about her.

Patting her soft, flowing hair gently, the longing in his expression told her just how reluctant he was to leave. She also saw the deep love he had for her in his eyes.

In the end, she couldn't bear to leave him like this. So, she rose and pecked his lips.

"Feeling better? You really have to leave now, Ivor."

Now that he got her kiss, his eyes were brimming with joy.

"Alright. I guess I have to." With that, he rubbed her hair again before he rose and left the bedroom.

She watched as he left.

Pulling out her phone, she texted Collin, "We're taking a flight to Yale tonight."

Before long, Collin gave her a call and asked, "Didn't you say you needed to make some arrangements, chief? Are you done with it already?"

Yawning, she said, "Ivor went on a work trip to mop up the rest of his work there. So, let's go to Yale earlier than planned. We'll try to capture Falcon and retrieve the chip before Ivor comes back to Pyralis."

"He's going overseas as well? What are the odds?" He frowned. "Something feels off about the timing. Do you think he's also a part of the Falcon hunt, chief?"

That reminded her about the fleeting, but familiar feeling she had when she was talking with the leader of

the Dark Knights. However, she thought about how honest Ivor had been with her and dismissed the suspicion.

"He went away on an urgent work trip. His location is on the other side of the earth from Yale. There's no way he'd hide from me if he's traveling to Yale!

"Moreover, he told me every single detail in his life. So, what makes you think he won't tell me about it if he's going somewhere that far?"

"Now that you put it that way, I guess you have a point," he said.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Colin thought, 'However, I just can't shake the feeling that something's off. But if Bonnie couldn't sense it, then I'm not going to comment much on it.

"The last thing I want is for me to speak out of place and compromise their relationship.'

"Alright. That's enough. Hurry up and make the preparations. We have a plane to catch tonight." She rose from her bed and went to the restroom to freshen herself up.

'Actually, I don't have to act so hastily, but the fact remains that I have no idea when Ivor is going to wrap up his work on his project. That's why every minute counts.

'I don't want to be caught in the middle when he finished his work while I'm still busy hunting down Falcon at Yale. That'd be a huge mess.'

On the other hand, Collin knew that they were racing against time. So, he dropped the matter. "Roger, chief. I'm going to make the arrangements right away."
