Chapter 651

Ivor stopped and looked at Bonnie, asking, "Are you okay?" She took the chance to step back. She blushed as she said, "You're in no position to askthat. Why do you have to be so intense? Are you that eager?" "I'm sorry, but I just can't control myself when I'm with you." Ivor's brows furrowed.

Bonnie noticed he wanted another kiss and quickly stopped him. "That's enough. You've hit your quota of reckless actions today." 'I felt his energy earlier, screaming to be unleashed. We can't keep going at it, or we might cross the line.' Ivor composed himself and suppressed his passion. He smirked when he saw how embarrassed Bonnie was. "All right, I'll stop. Do you still wantto massage you with essential oil?" "Forget about it." Bonnie looked like she had seen through his plots. "I don't even have to ask to know you're trying to take advantage ofagain. Just stay here and calm yourself down. I'll take a rinse in the hot spring. You can joinonce you've controlled yourself." Ivor feared he might lose control and upset her. So, he took a break on the deck, saying, "Sure, go ahead and hop into the hot spring." Bonnie leaned on the edge of the spring and closed her eyes. It was quiet, and a hint of the sweet scent of roses lingered in the air. It made for an exceptionally tranquil and relaxing environment.

After relaxing in the hot spring, Bonnie and Ivor left for lunch near the hotel. Then, they held hands and walked back. Bonnie could feel the warmth in her fiance's palm, making her uneasy because they were not just holding hands. Their fingers were intertwined.

"Maybe we should stop holding hands. You're makingfeel a little tense." "Bonnie, we're engaged. We'll be doing much more intimate things once we get married. You have to overcthis. Take this chance to get used to holding hands. I'm sure it'll grow on you in no time. Content Bonnie had always been honest with her feelings and herself. Since she had decided to entrust herself to Ivor, she agreed with his values, including what he had just said. "Oh, okay. We'll hold hands like this and take baby steps with the rest, okay?" Ivor smiled. "Okay." When they reached the room, Bonnie wanted to nap when she saw Ivor fiddling with something. She sat up and peered at him, asking, "What are you doing?" Ivor subtly shifted to block her view. He said, "Go ahead and sleep. Don't worry about me. I'll take you somewhere when you wake up." Bonnie raised her brows and asked, "Are you doing something to surpriseagain?" "Yeah, it's a surprise. You probably shouldn't took this way anymore You might ruin the surprise." Ivor openly admitted it before lowering his head and continuing to fiddle with something.

Since he had said that, Bonnie stopped looking and lay down on the bed again. "I'll leave you to it, them. I'll get sshut-eye now." "Okay, go ahead. I'll wake you once I'm ready Ivor responded, lowering his head to ensure he did not forget anything. Once he had packed everything, he zipped his bag and prepared the other things. Content As the sun set, Bonnie woke up from her nap and yawned. She was shocked to see Ivor still fiddling with something.

Chapter 652

"Where are you taking me, and why did it take you this long to prepare?" Ivor turned to look at Bonnie mysteriously and said, "You'll find out soon. I'm almost done, so go and change into a coat. We'll hit the road once you're ready." Bonnie glanced at the black rucksack lying before him. She could not help but grumble, "Where are we going? Why must I wear a coat?" Although she was perceptive, Ivor had prepared various surprises for her. She had no idea where he was about to take her.

"It's cold at night. You'll catch a cold if you don't wear one. What will we do then?" Ivor said while rummaging through a rucksack. He then handed her an apricot-colored coat. "This should do. It'll go well with your outfit today." Bonnie stopped asking questions and put on the coat. Then, she realized Ivor was wearing a short-sleeved shirt. "Aren't you going to wear a coat? What'll we do if you catch a cold?" "I'm a tough man who doesn't need coats or umbrellas." He smiled.

Bonnie's lips twitched as she said, "Suit yourself." Ivor put the rucksack on his back and took another bag before turning to Bonnie and asking, "Are you ready? We're leaving now." "I'll go tie my hair back and freshen up first. Givea minute." She entered the room and cout soon after, saying, "All right, let's go." As the couple walked, Ivor suddenly stopped and said, "Hold on. I think I left something important behind." Bonnie turned to look at him. "What was it?" "It's a secret," Ivor responded as he put down the bag. "Stay put, and I'll be back before you know it." "Sure." She stood where she was and waited. Then, she looked at the bag on the ground and beccurious. However, she did not check its contents.

'Since Ivor said it's a surprise, I'll see it eventually. He also spent a long tpreparing. If I opened the bag and checked it, I would spoil the whole thing.' Bonnie looked away and played with her phone. She waited for a long time, but Ivor still did not return. After checking the time, she realized he had been gone for more than ten minutes. 'Our hotel room isn't that far. Ivor shouldn't be gone for this long. Did something happen?' Bonnie frowned and tucked her phone away before walking toward the hotel. To her surprise, Ivor was chatting with a group of women. Although he was not the most social guy, he looked like he was having a good twith them. S Ivor was even smiling. He was friendly and gracious to the women, too.

'Huh? He's being way too nice to them. It's a far cry from his usual self. Ivor typically stays away from women.' Bonnie stayed silent for a while before calling his phone and asking, "What's taking so long? Where are you?" Ivor gazed at the women before him and felt a headache coming on, causing him to rub his brows. The young women were the daughters of a few of his business partners.¶vor had always had a good relationship with their fathers, too.

The last thing he expected was to run into their daughters. They even greeted him just now, so he had to treat them well. Hence, he had to stay and chat with them. That said, Bonnie had called him. S Ivor knew she would be furious because he had made her wait so long, especially if he told her he had been chatting with other women. Chapter

'I shouldn't complicate things. I should make up an excuse instead of telling Bonnie the truth.' "Bonnie, I ran into someone in the parking lot. I'll finish chatting with them soon. Just givea minute, and I'll be there before you know it." Search the Website on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

Chapter 653

"You ran into someone, huh?" Bonnie raised her brow. "Are you sure?" "Yeah, I'll cover soon." Ivor hung up the phone and glanced at the young woman before him. "Excuse me, ladies. My fiancee is waiting forover there. I have to leave now. I'll see you later." The women waved at him, and one of them said, "Of course, Ivor. We'll leave you to it." "Okay, then," Ivor replied dryly and turned around. He picked up the things he returned to get and walked ahead. To his surprise, he bumped into Bonnie as he turned a corner.

She smiled at him and said, "I thought you said you ran into someone in the parking lot. What are you doing here?" Although she smiled, it was ingenuine. On the contrary, she looked a little frightening.

'She must've seenchatting with those girls earlier. That's why she's looking atlike that.' Ivor could not help but panic. He froze and was about to explain himself, but Bonnie spoke first, "Letguess. You ran into swomen. They wore red, blue, and pink dresses. I bet they were pretty, too." When Ivor met her humorless gaze, a chill ran down his spine. He trembled as he grabbed her hand and admitted his mistake. "I'm sorry, Bonnie! I shouldn't have lied to you. Please forgive me." Ivor apologized twice, fearing Bonnie would get mad. However, she shook his hand off and put on a poker face, saying, "I want you to explain why you lied to me." "All right, I'll explain everything. Please don't get mad at me." Ivor was worried Bonnie would ignore him out of anger, so he spoke cautiously, "Those girls are the daughters of sof my business partners.

"I'm pretty close to them and couldn't just ignore them. That's why I chatted with them. I was worried you'd get mad, so I lied to you. I'm sorry, Bonnie. I shouldn't have kept the truth from you." Bonnie stared at Ivor for a long time. Finally, she said, "I can understand that. Also, I'm not that sensitive and don't need you to look out for my feelings every second of the day. That said, I hate lies and deception.

"If something like this happens again, you must tellthe truth, or I'll be furious." Her tone and expression were solemn. It seemed like it was a big deal for her.

Ivor noticed it and put his hand up to swear, "I promise to never lie to you again." Satisfied with his answer, Bonnie glanced at the bag in his hand. She decided to drop the matter and ask, "Did you get your things? Can we go now?" Although she might not have said much, it was evident she had forgiven Ivor. He felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulder.

Ivor held Bonnie's shoulder, feeling

so nervous that his palms were sweating. "You that oked so so I thought you were pissed off for real. was racking my brain for a way to soothe you."

"Do I look like someone who's that petty?" Bonnie raised her chin slightly and glanced at him. Then, she repeated, "Don't ever lie toagain." "Don't worry. I've burned my promise into my mind. I'll never forget it," Ivor said solemnly. Chapter

Bonnie smiled. "That's enough. Stop being such a sweet talker, and let's hit the road" or felt relieved when En. he saw her smile. "All right, let's go."

 

Chapter 654

Ivor's Maybach tore through the streets. An hour later, they arrived at the top of a hill near Verdant Valley Retreat.

Bonnie exited the car and took in the fabulous view of the seemingly unending meadow and boundless starlit sky. A sense of wonder and surprise appeared in his eyes. "What a beautiful spot. It's like I'm in a fantasy movie." "I knew you'd like it here. It looks like my tand effort was well spent." Ivor walked to Bonnie's side and looked at her. His eyes were affectionate as he admired her delicate face, illuminated by the gentle moonlight.

'I love her like no one else. Here we are, surrounded by marvelous sceneries on all sides. I'm swelling with gratification and happiness. I just know Bonnie andwill stay happy forever.' Bonnie glanced at the meadow before her. She finally realized why Ivor took such a long tto prepare at the hotel. "Were you planning on camping here to enjoy the view at night?" Ivor chuckled. "Smart as always, Bonnie. Still, you only got half of it right." "Only half?" She was puzzled. "What's the other half, then?" Ivor put down his rucksack and unzipped it. Then, he removed parts of a tent and began putting them together. "Not only will we enjoy the view, but we'll also witness a glorious sunrise here." "Sunrise?" Bonnie swept her gaze across the spot and nodded in approval. "Yeah, this is a nice spot to enjoy the sunrise." A hint of triumph flashed across Ivor's eyes. "I have good taste, huh? You loved every spot I picked whenever we hung out or went on trips." Bonnie could not help but giggle when she saw how much he resembled a little boy waiting to be praised for doing a good job. "Fine, you have good taste." Her compliment made Ivor feel much happier than when he secured a collaboration worth millions. A while later, he said, "Okay, I've built the tent. Go in and see if you like it." "Sure." Bonnie got on all fours and crawled into the tent. It was spacious and even had a transparent top for them to look at the starlit sky while lying on their backs.

"It's nice and comfy. Do you want to take it for a spin?" Bonnie asked. However, she did not get a response for a long time. She could not help but frown and get out of the tent. "Ivor? Where are you?" No one was in the meadow. A moment later, her brows knitted as she called out, "Ivor?!"

Bonnie raised her voice, but he still did not show up. As she was about to call him on her phone, she heard his charming voice from behind, "Turn around." Chapter

When she turned, her eyes widened ΟΠ and glistened with pleasant surprise.

Chapter 655

Countless fireflies covered the valley and surrounding forest. They swirled in the night sky and made a marvelous sight that even the stars could not match. Bonnie simply could not look away. The fireflies flew out of the jar Ivor held. Bonnie was so surprised and moved that she struggled to describe her feelings. She asked, "When and where did you get these fireflies from?" "I told you I have a surprise for you. Naturally, I had them prepared much earlier." Ivor took another jar and bragged, "Do you want to see more of them? I have another jar here. I caught all of these for you myself. What do you think? Am I awesome, or am I awesome?" Ivor bragged so much that it made Bonnie giggle. "Geez, you'll never change, Ivor. You'll always be a kid." 'Did he honestly catch these fireflies for me? How old does he think he is? He's usually so imposing and bossy around other people but that's not apparent now.' "I can't help it," Ivor said helplessly and sighed. He approached Bonnie and held her shoulder. "I look at you and have these impulses to do things that'll make you happy. I'm spending all my childishness on you." "Ivor, you're not only immature but also smart-mouthed." Although Bonnie said that, her grin was wider than ever. "Still, I love how thoughtful your gesture is." "That's what matters the most." Ivor took her hand and led her to the tent. "Let's go inside and see how it feels to lie down and enjoy the night sky." 'Ivor has been preparing for tonight since he reached Verdant Valley Retreat. I don't think he has rested, either.' With that in mind, Bonnie could not help but worry. "You've been working on this all day. Now's a good chance for you to take a break." Ivor was overjoyed to hear that. "Bonnie, are you worried about me?" She tugged at his arm and blushed, asking embarrassedly, "Are you going to keep spouting nonsense? Do you have something better to do, or do you want to lie down?" Ivor smirked when he saw her blushing. "Of course, I want to lie down. Ladies first." "Okay," Bonnie replied and crawled inside.

Then, Ivor entered and lay down beside her. The couple took in the boundless night sky when Ivor beld her hand and intertwined his fingers with hers. "Are you happy, Bonnie?" "Very much so," Bonnie responded. Then, she figured it was not enough to convey her feelings. So, she added, "I'm thrilled." 'He took a long tto prepare for tonight's surprise. My initial response wasn't sincere enough.' "So am I." Ivor turned and pressed his head against hers. "My days spent with you are always full of endless happiness." Although Bonnie did not know how e

to sweet talk, she did not push him away or insult him that was more than enough to show that she shared Ivor's sentiment.

He must have realized her thoughts because he boldly leaned closer and kissed her cheek. "I'm so lucky to have you, Bonnie." Chapter

She blushed so much that even her ears reddened. The content is on !

 

Chapter 656

"Stop it, Ivor. I know that already. Although it might not bother you, I've heard that one too many times." Ivor smiled and chuckled before leaning closer to her. He whispered, "We just started our relationship, yet you're already tired of it? Well, too bad because I'll tell you how much I love you for the rest of my life." Bonnie might have thought he sounded childish, but a wave of love and affection rose within her. She slowly smiled and said, "Is that your way of saying I'll be stuck with you forever?" "I'm afraid so. You're the only one for me, Bonnie. You'll be mine for eternity." Ivor's voice brimmed with affection and solemnness. Moreover, he consistently proved his words with his actions.

Bonnie turned to Ivor, her eyes full of confidence as she replied, "Yeah, we'll be together forever. Nothing can split us apart." It was her first tsaying something like that to Ivor. He was overjoyed when he heard it. "You makelove you more just when I think it's impossible." "There you go again with the sweet talk." Bonnie could not handle him sometimes. She turned away and closed her eyes. "It's getting late, so hurry and grab sshut-eye. Otherwise, we'll oversleep and miss the sunrise." "All right, good night, Bonnie." Ivor turned to his side and rested his hand on her waist.

Bonnie instinctively motioned to pry his hand off, but something stopped her. Then, she withdrew her hand and left his hand around her waist.

Ivor noticed it and smirked, his eyes full of intense humor.

'She's so adorable.' At six in the morning, the sun rose slowly into the sky. Bonnie glanced at Ivor beside her, sleeping like a log. She lightly smacked his cheek and said, "Hey, Ivor, wake up. Don't forget, we're here to watch the sunrise." However, Ivor had woken up moments ago. Now that Bonnie was calling him, he pretended to have just awoken from his sleep and opened his eyes slowly. "Ahh, seeing you first thing in the morning is wonderful." Bonnie's lips twitched. "It's so early. Can you please not start the day with something so corny?" 'I just can't with him, sometimes.' "I can't control myself around you." Ivor chuckled. Then, he sat up and looked ahead. The morning sun rose over the peaks in the distance. Thin layers of mist enveloped the mountains, painting a surrel? beauty. FindΛ Chapter

"Bonnie..." Ivor could not wait to share his thoughts after seeing the beautiful scenery. However, he was stunned when he turned to look at her. The gentle sun shined on Bonnie's

face, casting a hazy look on her. vor felt he was dreaming and that m everything, including his beloved fiancee, would disappear when he woke up. The thought of it startled him. śFind Before he knew it, he pulled Bonnie into his arms and said, "Bonnie, promise you'll stay withforever. Don't leave, okay?" Ivor held her tightly as if it was the only way to appease his unease.

Bonnie was puzzled by what he did. "Aren't I standing beside you now? I don't recall talking about leaving you, either. What's gotten into you?"

 

Chapter 657

Ivor relaxed his grip on Bonnie and stared at her affectionately. He said, "As far as I'm concerned, you're a gift from heaven. You've givenso much happiness without doing much. All I have to do is look at you to fill my heart with gratification.

"That's why I'm worried heaven might reclaim you someday. If that happens, I can't see you anymore. I-I can't lose you, Bonnie." Ivor's eyes reddened, and his charming voice sounded uneasy. His fear of losing her was evident.

Bonnie felt his profound unease and hugged him back. She patted his shoulder and soothed him, "You're the most fearsbusinessman in the industry. Where's your unwavering confidence and resolution? Does being withunravel your confidence this much?" She could sometimes feel Ivor's lack of security whenever he was with her. However, Bonnie was not the best at being in a relationship, and she did not know what to do to make him feel better.

Ivor pressed his forehead against Bonnie's, saying, "It's because I love you too much. I'd shrink you and put you in my pocket if I could. That way, I can take you anywhere with me. Also, you're such an incredible person that countless guys flirt with you wherever you go. I fear someone will steal you fromif I let down my guard for even a second." Bonnie was surprised that he was so vulnerable inside when he had always appeared strong before others.

'Frankly speaking, I'm partly responsible for that. Ivor has taken the lead and prepared all these surprises, while I've only been on the receiving end. I never give him anything. Maybe that's why he doesn't feel safe, even though we're together.' With that in mind, Bonnie held his hands and said, "I understand that, but I hope you can have more self- confidence. I've always trusted in my taste. If I love something, it's because it's the best thing ever, including you. Chapter

"Would I have started having feelings for you if you weren't incredible or tough enough? I wouldn't have fallen for you if you didn't love and adore me. Also, you think I'm unique and irreplaceable. "You probably don't know this, but the feeling's mutual. You're the one for me, and I won't break up with you for another guy without a good reason. Stop feeling uneasy, Ivor. I'll never leave you." Although Bonnie was not good at sweet-talking, she knew she had to muster her courage and tell Ivor how she felt. That was the only way she could ease his restlessness and worries. Ivor felt so moved by her speech that he did not know how to respond. He simply held her tighter. His trembling hands were the only answer Bonnie needed. She chuckled when she noticed it. Then, she rested her head on his shoulder and said, "Do you want to know something? No one has taken any tor effort to prepare something like this for me. So, I'm happy you're willing to do all of this for me. Thank you, Ivor." "You're so silly. We're a couple, which means you don't have to thank me. I belong to you, and I did all this because it's my duty as your fiance. Also, I'm more than happy to prepare surprises for you." Ivor stared at her, his eyes brimming with affection.

His words filled Bonnie's heart with warmth. She said smilingly, "You've surprisedso many times. Since that's the case, I've also prepared a surprise for you."

Ivor's eyes sparkled, thinking, 'I didn't know she me. The something for is on !

"D-Did you really prepare a surprise for me? How intriguing wondemn what it could be." He looked like he could barely contain his excitement.

Meanwhile, Bonnie pursed her lips and said, "Close your eyes.

 

Chapter 658

Ivor guessed the surprise, making his eyes sparkle even more. "Are you going to kiss me, Bonnie?" "There you go again with your imagination." Bonnie rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Just close your eyes, or I won't give you your surprise." Ivor hastily replied, "Okay, fine! I'll close them now." Although he said that, he quipped, "If it's a kiss, I want you to say it aloud. Don't be shy." She could not help but giggle. "Cut the crap and close your eyes now!" "All right, I'll close them for real this time," Ivor said as he slowly shut his eyes.

"No peeking!" She reminded before turning around and rummaging through her bag. Soon after, she found the exquisite jewelry box in it. She took it and turned to face Ivor, who had his eyes shut. She was pleased with his obedience.

Bonnie smiled as she took his hand in hers. Then, she removed the ring from the jewelry box and put it on his ring finger.

Ivor felt the cold sensation and realized what she had given him. He could not wait to open his eyes and look at it. However, Bonnie still had not told him to open his eyes. So, Ivor strained and suppressed his excitement.

He asked tremblingly, "C-Can I open my eyes now?" She replied, "Go ahead." Ivor trembled slightly. He was a little afraid to open them for a moment.

'I'm frozen with fear. What if it's just a dream, and it'll disappear when I open my eyes?' Realizing he was motionless, Bonnie patted his shoulder and asked, "Why aren't you opening your eyes? What are you waiting for?" Chapter

Her voice gave him the strength to open his eyes and gaze at the ring. Although Ivor had already. guessed it was a ring weedy was ecstatic when he finally saw it. He drowned in inexplicable happiness and could not stop smiling.

"Bonnie, am I dreaming? Is this real?" He had no words to describe his om excitement. Waves of ecstasy washed over him. Nothing could compare to the happiness he felt at that moment.

"Of course, it's real. For the record, I'm standing right here. How's it a dream?" Bonnie traded Dvor's finger and stopped at the ring. She rubbed it with an uncharacteristic affection in her eyes. "I designed this ring just for you the materials, sketch, and final production-everything. You must cherish it and never lose it, Ivor."

 

Chapter 659

"Don't worry, Bonnie. I'll keep it safe because it's a gift from you." Ivor looked at the ring, his face brimming with affection. "This is the happiest I've been despite receiving countless gifts." He stared into Bonnie's eyes affectionately. "I love it, Bonnie." The way he stared at her made her blush, making her rosy cheeks look particularly tempting. Ivor stared at her and fell into a daze. Then, he leaned in and cupped her face, asking, "Can I kiss you?" Bonnie blushed even more when she took in his masculine scent. "You can if you want to. Why'd you ask? You've never been this polite withbefore." Ivor was ecstatic. Without a moment's delay, he lowered his head to kiss her. To his surprise, Bonnie grabbed his collar and kissed him first.

His eyes married, and he kissed her even more intensely. Instead of just kissing, they looked like they were competing to see who could kiss more passionately. The couple kissed for several minutes. When they stopped, Ivor felt like he wanted more. Chapter

"Bonnie, you're just too good to be true." Bonnie regained her composure. She said, "Can you please stop being so corny? You're givinggoosebumps." Ivor held her waist and said, "I told you several times already. I can never help myself when I'm around you." Bonnie pushed him away and said, "All right, tis ticking. Let's pack up and head back." "We're in no rush. Floyd's on his way to pick us up. We can take our tpacking. He should be there when we return to the hospital, which is perfect." Ivor smiled, crawled back into the tent, and started packing.

As they cleaned the tent, Bonnie noticed Ivor scratching his back occasionally. She frowned, lifted his shirt, and saw red marks all over his back. "You have a lot of mosquito bites. Do you wantto apply sointment for you?" Various hills surrounded Verdant Valley Retreat, which was naturally teeming with mosquitoes or insects. That was why she brought a self-made itch relief cream before she chere. Since the itching was unbearable, Ivor accepted Bonnie's offer, "All right, thanks." He removed his shirt and lay down in the tent. Bonnie took the cream and gently applied it to him. Her fingers were so soft that it reminded him of a cat's paws. Ivor would feel a tickle on the inside whenever she touched his back, making him want to do unspeakable things to her.

When Bonnie finished applying the cream, she checked to ensure she got all the spots. She said, "All right, you can get up now."

"Okay," Ivor replied and stood up in the tent. Suddenly, he started m removing his pants.

Immediately after, Bonnie covered her eyes and exclaimed, "Wh-what are you doing?! Are you going to act like a pervert in broad daylight?!"

 

Chapter 660

Although it was broad daylight, no one was around them. However, Ivor was too daring and reckless. Bonnie might have gotten used to his actions, but his impetuousness still shocked her. Ivor looked at her innocently as if it was not a big deal. "My legs got bitten, too. I need you to apply scream down there." Bonnie's lips twitched as she looked at his legs.

Ivor noticed her silence and deliberately stepped closer. "Don't doctors treat men and women? How does this bother you if you're a doctor?" "You're so good at twisting facts to your advantage, Ivor. I wonder how you do it daily." Bonnie rolled her eyes at him. "I'll do one of your legs at most. You can do the rest yourself." "Which one of my legs are you going to do?" Bonnie realized it was a double entendre and felt exasperated. Then, she smacked his bottom with her cream- covered hand. "Do you still want to do this?" Ivor knew not to push his luck, so he stopped teasing her. "Of course I do. Thanks, Bonnie." "What a smart-mouthed punk!" Bonnie felt helpless, but she still carefully applied scream to his leg. Chapter

'I can't let my guard down around him!' Several minutes later, Ivor got up and continued to pack. Then, Bonnie noticed a Maybach approaching from a distance. She turned to Ivor and said, "Hurry, Floyd's almost here." Ivor swiftly stuffed everything in the bag before zipping it up. He raised his brow at her and asked, "I'm done packing. What do you think? m quick with my hands, huh belongs to FindS "Are you Content need to way of asking for compliments?" din child? Why do you feel the Ithat? Is that Bonni t know what to do with Ivor.

He replied firmly, "I did a good job. Of course, I'll tell you about it so you praise me. That'll raise my confidence and spirits!" Bonnie played along and spoke to him the way she would a kid, "Fine, you're the best, Ivor. No one is as good as you." Ivor smiled. To say he was happy would be an understatement. "You're so good to me, Bonnie. You did what I said and praised me." Bonnie sighed and tried to stop herself from hitting him.

'Wait a minute. I just found out Ivor lacks a sense of security in our m relationship Praising him more might help remedy this issue.'

The couple were still chatting when the Maybach parked nearby. Floyd exited the car and took everything from Ivor before putting them in the trunk. "Are we going hnow, Mr. Ivor? Ms. Bonnie? Or do you want to stroll around the valley?"

Ivor looked at Bonnie and asked, "What do you think? Do you want to walk around? Do you think it's a good D6 t idea to stay here longer?" 'Our relationship made great strides.

after one night. If we stay here longer, we might end up mades.
