Ch. 821..830

Chapter 821

'Indeed, not revealing her true face was the wisest choice.'

While Avril was pondering this, Bonnie had already finished her speech. The auditorium erupted in applause.Chapter

Clap, clap, clap!

Everyone was satisfied with Bonnie's speech. As the applause ended, Bonnie added, "That concludes today's speech. If there's nothing else, you may"

Before she could finish, a student in the audience raised his hand and called out loudly, "Ms. Jody, I have something to say!"

'Wasn't that Frankie's voice? What trouble is he stirring up now?'

Bonnie's eyebrows furrowed as she looked toward the source of the voice, accurately pinpointing Frankie.

"What's the matter?"

Frankie glanced around to ensure Bonnie wasn't present. Then he puffed out his chest and said, "Ms. Jody, a student in our class named Bonnie ran off instead of attending your speech.

"It's a blatant disregard for school rules and a lack of respect for you. She should be punished, or she will continue to behave poorly!"

Avril looked at Frankie condescendingly.

'I've seen people digging their own graves, but never to this extent. The person he's accusing is standing before him. I can't believe he's that idiotic!'

However, Frankie was oblivious. He was convinced the new president would punish Bonnie. He felt triumphant and smug, eagerly anticipating the president's response.

Frankie believed the president would want to make an example out of Bonnie to establish authority. That was why he complained just as she was about to leave. The more he thought about it, the wiser be felt.

Standing next to Bonnie on stage was Professor Corbin, Frankie's father. Upon Hearing his son's words, Corbin was livid. He glared at his son, signaling him to stop his foolishness.

However, Frankie was too focused on imagining Bonnie's punishment to notice his father's gaze.

'That little brat!'

Corbin wished to rush over and strangle his unworthy son. However, he couldn't do that. He could only glare at Frankie disappointedly.

Corbin looked around and noticed the other professors glaring at him, which only fueled his anger. His eyes turned even more menacing, and he cursed Frankie inwardly.

'I'll deal with him at home!'

After all, it was inappropriate to interrupt the president's speech and demand punishment for a fellow student, even if Frankie didn't know Bonnie's identity as the new principal and Ms. Bonita.

'Such behavior is utterly unacceptable!'

The more Professor Corbin thought about it, the angrier he became. He clutched his chest and sneered.

'How did a man of honor like me raise such a reckless son? Recklessness is one thing, but dragging me down with him is another! It's beyond frustrating!'

 

Chapter 822

Bonnie looked at Frankie with a hint of sarcasm and a faint smile, asking, "Is that so?"

Frankie nodded vigorously. "Yes, Ms. Jody! I saw her walking in the opposite direction of the auditorium and haven't seen her since. That means she never intended to come. In my opinion, someone who disrespects the school rules should"

Before he could finish, Bonnie interrupted, "I told her to do something for me. That's why she couldn't make it."

'What? Ms. Jody told Bonnie to do something?'

Frankie's eyes widened in disbelief, even doubting his hearing.

Ms. Jody has the most authority in the school, and Bonnie is truant. She's not qualified to get assigned personal tasks by the president. Ms. Jody couldn't have been here for long, yet Bonnie has already established a good relationship with her. How?

Frankie felt like a clown when he recalled ratting Bonnie out to the new president. He looked around and saw his classmates looking at him condescendingly. Suddenly, he blushed. He was so embarrassed that he wished to hide in a hole.

Bonnie noticed Frankie's expression and spoke into the microphone again, "Do you have any other questions?"

Frankie was stunned before returning to his senses and shaking his head. "N-No, Ms. Jody."Chapter

"Since there are no other questions, you may sit down."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Frankie sat down, Bonnie's voice sounded again, "We are all students of the same school.

Instead of sabotaging each other we should work together. Be kind and assist each other when we are in need."

She glanced at Frankie and added, "I'm highly dissatisfied with that student's behavior. I hope I don't such things again in the future. Can you all do that for me?"

The crowd responded in unison, "Yes, Ms. Jody!"

Frankie felt like he wanted to die.

Bonnie nodded in satisfaction. "Very well, that's all today. You may leave in an orderly fashion."

She then turned and left. Soon after, the crowd discussed mockingly while pointing at Frankie.

"Although Bonnie often skips class, she has never snitched. He did it in front of the president, no less. That guy is so malicious." SW

"Anyone who's his friend is unlucky. They never know when he might snitch on them to the president or a professor."

"You're right. That guy's such a bad egg. It's better to stay away from him, or he'll trap you."

Each person passing Frankie showed disdain. They even tried to avoid him like the plague.

 

Chapter 823

Frankie watched this scene with clenched fists. His face alternated between pale and flushed, looking awful.

After standing still for a few seconds in a daze, he couldn't bear the disdainful glances from everyone. He quickly raised his hand to cover his face and hurriedly left.

Watching his disheveled figure running away, Avril tilted her head back and revealed a delighted smile.

"Hahaha! serves him right!" This outcwas genuinely satisfying and delightful! So delightful! After the meeting, Bonnie exited the school and saw the limited edition Maybach parked by the roadside.

She lightly curved her lips, wearing a smile as she walked over.

The car window rolled down as she got closer, revealing the man's well-defined face.

"You were waiting here on purpose? How did you know I would leave the school at this time?" "I guessed." Ivor smiled in response.

Bonnie opened the car door and got in. Upon hearing his answer, she rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"Do you think I would believe your nonsense?" With a smile, Ivor looked at her and reached out his hand to naturally hold hers. Chapter

"Well, what do you think? How did I know?" Bonnie pondered for two seconds, and a familiar figure instantly appeared in her mind.

"Did Avril tell you?" Ivor didn't respond, but his eyebrows slightly raised, indicating neither confirmation nor denial of this answer. Bonnie immediately understood his meaning and felt even more speechless in her heart.

"Avril, such a big mouth." Although she said this, it was just a simple complaint, without any real intention of blaming Avril. Whenever something happened to her at school, Avril would be eager to spill all the details to Ivor as long as he asked.

"She just wants the best for us, hoping we'll be better together, so she tellsthese things. There's no other meaning to it, don't feel uncomfortable because of it, or else I'd be at fault." Ivor's actions were simply to understand Bonnie's situation at school, hoping she wouldn't overthink.

Bonnie glanced at him indifferently. "Do I seem so petty?" "Of course not. My honey is so beautiful and kind-hearted, how could she be petty?" Ivor's gaze never left Bonnie's body, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at her.

Bonnie glared at him reproachfully. "Haven't you had enough? Always saying those things I can't stand hearing." At his words, Ivor earnestly nodded.

"What would you like to hear then? I'll say more of what you love to hear."

"I don't want to hear anything. I just hope you can shut up, okay?" Bonnie finished with a tired laugh, then closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat to rest. She wasn't drained. However, Ivor wouldn't stop whenever he started

talking nonsense, and she just wanted a moment of peace. Iɓhen kept talking like this, who knew when he would stop?

Ivor fell silent instantly, not wishing to wake up Bonnie, who appeared to be ready for a nap. For a moment, the car fell into a brief silence. After stime, Bonnie opened her eyes. She wanted to nap but fell into a deep sleep instead.

When Ivor noticed Bonnie opening her eyes, he asked, "Have you rested enough? Can I talk now?"

Chapter 824

Bonnie lazily yawned and found a comfortable position leaning against Ivor's chest. "You can speak now." Ivor gently twirled her hair, saying, "I heard that the new president of Pyralis University made a speech today. Did you see her? What kind of person is she?" Bonnie glanced at him, then raised her delicately arched eyebrows, her tone tinged with a hint of teasing.

"You're still as interested in this president as ever." Ivor nodded, openly admitting his thoughts.

"Of course, she's the president of Pyralis University. Building a good relationship with her would greatly benefit my family's future development." Bonnie shook her head and commented, "You're greedy. You partnered with my research institute and dismantled the Gemedia Group. Now your family's position in Pyralis is as stable as Mount Everest. It's better to develop steadily, yet you want to reach the sky in one step?" "You're right. I am greedy enough to turn everything of yours to mine, including your hair," Ivor said, picking up a strand of Bonnie's hair that fell on her cheek and sniffing it lightly.

He was so cheesy that it made Bonnie's skin crawl. She pushed Ivor's away and said, "Stop it. Stay away from me, or I'll punch you!" "Honey, what did I do wrong? Why do you want to hit me?" Ivor pretended to look pitifully at Bonnie. Chapter

Bonnie's twitched helplessly. "That's enough. Don't act anymore, or it'll be overplayed." Ivor blinked his ink-black eyes slowly.

"But Honey, I'm not acting. These are all from the bottom of my heart-" Before he finished speaking, Bonnie quickly reached out to cover his mouth and gave him a warning glare with her eyes. "Stop talking." Upon seeing this, Ivor smiled, and a hint of laughter escaped his throat. "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Don't be angry." He was just deliberately teasing the girl. Seeing that she was getting angry, he had to stop, lest he angered her, which would be more harm than good.

"So you're afraid that I'll get angry?↓ thought you weren't afraid of anything." Bonnie gave him a yel.ne sidelong glance and withdrew her hand from his mouth.

"Of course, I'm afraid. What if you get angry and ignore me?" Ivor put his arm around Bonnie's shoulder, letting her lean on him.

"Cto my place tonight, don't go to Verdant Valley Retreat." Bonnie looked at him strangely. "You wantto go to your place? What are your intentions?"

Ivor felt a little helpless at her words.

"I just want you to accompany re What bad idea could there be? Don't En: you trust in me?"

"I don't know you yet. You're not honest at all. Bonnie,let Bonnie let out a soft! hum. "I can't go to your place. I have En sexpérimental issues to discuss with them tonight, anall the materials are at Verdant Valley Retreat. We'll talk about it later." A trace of disappointment flickered in Ivor's eyes, but Bonnie's experiment was more important, so he didn't say much.

"Okay, you handle your business first. We'll talk about going to my place when you're free." Bonnie responded faintly, "Hmm."

Ivor was finishing up with the documents as night fell, and as he sat back in his chair Bonnie's figure suddenly appeared in his mind, lingering no matter how hard he tried to shake it off.

 

Chapter 825

For sreason, Ivor's desire to see Bonnie tonight was powerful. It felt like he could not sleep without seeing her tonight. Ivor rubbed his temples and sighed softly, then called for Floyd. Floyd quickly appeared in the study. "Mr. Ivor, what's up?" Ivor pressed his sensual, thin lips together and stared at him for a moment before finally making up his mind.

"Let's go to the underground garage." "Huh?" Floyd scratched the back of his head in confusion.

"Mr. Ivor, it's late at night. Why are we going to the underground garage?" "We're going to find my Honey." Ivor stood up, picked up his coat, and headed out.

Floyd was taken aback, his eyes widening even more. "But it's so late now. If we go over at this hour, won't we disturb Ms. Bonnie's rest?" Upon hearing this, Ivor stopped and gave him a sidelong glance. "Can you stop spouting nonsense?" "All right, Mr. Ivor." Floyd immediately made a gesture of zipping his lips. Chapter

Ivor withdrew his gaze from Floyd and strode out. Floyd wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly followed.

When they had driven a short distance after getting into the ca lightning and thunder suddenly fit up the sky, and it began to shower heavily. Floyd slowed down and glanced at Ivor.

"Mr. Ivor, the rain is too heavy. Why don't we head back and visit the Ms. Bonnie tomorrow?" "We're not going back. Just drive slower." Ivor had cwith the explicit intention of seeing Bonnie. Now that they were already halfway there, how could he turn back? Floyd didn't say anything more, "Understood, Mr. Ivor." An hour later, the limited edition Maybach slowly pulled up at the entrance of Verdant Valley RetroBefore exiting the car, Ivor took an umbrella and turned to Floyd.

"Wait here for me. I'll take a quick look at Honey, and then we'll leave."

"Alright." Floyd didn't quite understand Ivor's actions and was greatly shocked. He remembered that Ivor and Bonnie had met not long ago.

However, Ivor was braving a heavy rainstorm just to see her. There were no words to describe it. All he could say was that or was astonishing E regarding love. Bonnie had just finished her shower and was about to read before bed. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Ding dong! She frowned, wondering who would

ring her doorbell so late at night. She then pulled up the surveillance feed on her phone to see who it was. When the footage appeared, she saw Ivor standing at her door. Bonnie grabbed her phone and ran downstairs to open the door. When their eyes met, she felt an indescribable emotion.

Chapter 826

"Honey..." Ivor stared deeply at Bonnie, desiring to incorporate her into his very being. Bonnie's heart fluttered under his gaze, her cheeks reddening slightly as she averted her eyes.

Bonnie's heartstrings were tugged as she noticed that although Ivor was holding an umbrella, the heavy rain had soaked his shoulders and hair, making him look like a drenched puppy. Her voice softened considerably. "Cinside. Don't stand in the rain." "Okay." Ivor's response was filled with evident joy and excitement, showing how much it meant to him to be invited into her hlate at night.

Bonnie smiled at his expression, though she didn't say anything. She handed him a dry towel. "Dry off quickly so you don't catch a cold." "This wouldn't have happened if you'd givena key when I asked. If you'd agreed, I wouldn't have had to ring the doorbell and wait for you to cdown." After considering his words, Bonnie took a key from a drawer. Ivor's excitement was palpable. "Does this mean I can move in and live with you?" Bonnie was speechless. "You're thinking too far ahead! I'm only giving you the key because you never play by the rules. It's just for emergencies. I won't live with you before marriage, so forget about moving in." Seeing her stubborn attitude, Ivor asked in the puzzle, "Why not?" Bonnie smiled at him. "Haven't you heard the saying, 'distance makes the heart grow fonder?"" "But our relationship is already strong. Distance doesn't apply to us." Ivor took her hand.

"Honey, letlive with you. Or you could move in with me. I could take care of you when you're busy." "No!" Bonnie refused immediately. "No cohabitation before marriage. That's my bottom line. Don't ask again; I won't agree." Though slightly disappointed, Ivor knew Bonnie was principled and wouldn't change her mind easily, so he didn't press further. "Alright, whatever makes you happy." "Go take a hot shower. Don't catch a cold." Bonnie instructed.

"Okay." Ivor's heart warmed at her concern.

Bonnie shook her head at his beaming smile and went to the bathroom to start the hot waterWhen it was ready, she called out, "The water's ready. Cin." "Coming."yor started unbuttoningt his shirt as he walked in but

suddenly stopped. "I don't have any clothes to change into. What should I wear after my shower?"

Pausing tically, he continued, "Unless you don't mindgoingn without could wait until my clothes dry tomorrow." Bonnie saw through his playful attempt to tempt her and chuckled. Chapter

Unfazed, she dashed his hopes with a dose of cold reality. "I find you e something to wear.

Chapter 827

"That's not something you need to worry about," Bonnie said.

"I've developed a high-efficiency washer-dryer that takes less than 10 minutes to wash and dry clothes. Your clothes will be dry by the tyou're done with your shower, so you don't have to worry about that." A hint of disappointment flashed in Ivor's eyes. He had hoped to use this as an opportunity to get closer to Bonnie, but it seemed his plan was thwarted.

Bonnie noticed his subtle expressions but chose not to call him out. Instead, she said, "Hurry up and take off your clothes. I'll wash them for you." Ivor raised an eyebrow and gave a suggestive smile. "Do you wantto take them off right in front of you, or " Before he could finish, Bonnie pushed him into the bathroom and closed the door behind him. "If you don't want to catch a cold, hurry up and shower. No more talking." Ivor chuckled softly and responded warmly, "Alright." 10 minutes later, Bonnie hung the freshly dried clothes on the bathroom door and called out, "I've made ssupper and tea. Once you're dressed, cto the dining room." Ivor's voice quickly cfrom inside. "Got it." After dressing, Ivor went to the dining room and saw baked chicken and tea on the table. A wave of warmth filled his heart, and he quickened his pace toward the table. As he walked, he said, "My honey always takes care of me. It was worth the trip." Upon hearing this, Bonnie looked at him with a hint of suspicion. "By the way, I almost forgot to ask. Why did you chere so late? Is there something important you need to tell me?" Ivor's grip on his fork tightened slightly. "No." This response only made Bonnie more puzzled. "Then what is it?" "I just wanted to see you," Ivor said, his eyes filling with tenderness as he looked at her.

Bonnie bit her lip, a complex mix of

emotions rising within her. "Are you crazy? Can't you see it's pouring m outside? Couldn't you wait until tomorrow to see me? Why did you have to ctonight? Do you want to make yourself sick?"

Ivor knew she was only saying this out of concern for him. His heart m softened, and the tenderness in his eyes overflowed. "I wanted to see you, so I came. As long as I can see you, I don't fear the wind or the rain." Bonnie felt her heart race uncontrollably. The sound of her heartbeat filled her ears, drowning out everything else. She could see nothing but the man before her. Chapter

After staring at him for a long tand feeling her intense emotions slowly subside, she finally spoke. "A-Are you crazy? Is it worth it to put yourself through this just to see me?" X

Chapter 828

"As long as I can see you, it's worth it," Ivor said, his tone calm and devoid of his usual playful teasing.

Bonnie could sense his seriousness and earnestness. Though Ivor often joked around, his current demeanor deeply touched Bonnie's heart.

Feeling an impulse, she stood up and gently kissed his handsface. This was something she rarely did, and a blush spread across her cheeks.

"Consider that kiss a small comfort for coming to seein the rain, but don't do this again. If you get sick, I won't take care of you." Ivor was still absorbed in the joy of Bonnie's unexpected kiss. He touched the spot where she kissed him, his smile growing wider, unable to contain his happiness. Seeing his overly pleased expression, Bonnie sighed and regretted kissing him. Chapter

"Did you hear what I said? Don't do this again." Ivor finally cto his senses. He looked at Bonnie and nodded with a light smile. "Got it." Just as Bonnie was about to speak, Ivor continued, "Honey, can I stay here tonight?" He held up a hand in a promise as he spoke. "I swear I'll behave and not cross any boundaries." Bonnie didn't respond immediately but quietly observed him. Just when Ivor thought she would disagree, she spoke.

"You can stay for the night, but you have to sleep in the guest room." Ivor was already thrilled by the unexpected kiss from Bonnie tonight. Knowing her usual boundaries, this was a significant concession. If he insisted on sharing a room, she might get angry and kick him out. 'Relationships need to progress gradually, not rushed.' With these thoughts, Ivor nodded. "Sure, no problem. I'll sleep in the guest room." "Alright, then get ready for bed. I'm Qvel tired and want to sleep," Bonnie said, yawning lazily with a hint of weariness in her eyes.

Seeing her exhaustion, Ivor said, "If you're The content is on!

the guest room is. I'll head there The content is on ! Uked, go rest. I know where et after I finish eating."

Bonnie was too tired to insist on m staying with him. "Okay take your teating. I'm going to sleep." "Goodnight," Ivor replied.

Chapter 829

Ivor watched Bonnie leave.

He then looked down at the food she had cooked and the tea she had prepared. His eyes filled with sudden happiness. Although Bonnie often teased him, she cared deeply for him. When Bonnie woke up the next day, Ivor had already left.

On the dining table, she found several of her favorite breakfast items and a note that read, "Honey, I had to leave early for a meeting at the company. I've made breakfast for you and left it on the table. Remember to eat." Bonnie smiled, seeing this. This man was as considerate as ever, always attending to every detail for her.

After finishing breakfast, Bonnie left Verdant Valley Retreat and headed to campus. As soon as she walked into the classroom, she heard her classmates excitedly discussing an upcoming student. "Did you hear? The new student coming to our university is from Zudale, and he's super handsome!" "Really? More handsthan Keenan? Speaking of Keenan, what a pity that such a good-looking guy left so suddenly." "Of course it's true! Have you ever knownto spread false information?" "It's not such a loss that Keenan left. He used to follow Bonnie around all the time, so we never got a chance to talk to him. And it wasn't just Keenan; our campus's top two heartthrobs were always around Bonnie. She just has a pretty face. What's so special about her?" "Exactly! I don't get why all the handsguys flock to her. We're not that bad either." "Let's just hope this new guy from Zudale doesn't get bewitched by Bonnie's looks. Then we might get a chance to get close to him." "No way. It can't always go her way. This new guy will be ours for sure!" Bonnie twitched her lips helplessly. Sometimes, she wished those guys wouldn't stick around her so much. It made her a target of jealousy and brought endless trouble.

Suddenly, she remembered a message from Andreas. Could this new student from Zudale be Andreas? No, it couldn't be. He was a prince with countless duties every day. He wouldn't have the tto chere as a university student.

Avril noticed Bonnie's silence and thought she might be upset. She spoke up to comfort her, "Bonnie, they're just jealous of you for attracting so many handsguys. Don't let what they say bother you."

Bonnie snapped out of her thoughts, and replied with a smile, "I'm not that petty. They can say whatever they want. It won't hurt me. Let them be."

Avril shrugged, "True, they are just envious and spiteful. You're used to people being jealous of you radn't know why thought you'd care about their words. I must have been out of my mind." Bonnie just smiled in response and didn't say more. The professor walked in with his

lesson plan. He announced, "I believe everyone is aware that have a new exchange student joining us. He is waiting in the corridor. Let's give a warm round of applause to welcAndreas!" The class erupted in applause as Andreas entered the room.

 

Chapter 830

Bonnie froze in place. Her eyes flashed with surprise and disbelief. 'Could it be Andreas wasn't joking when he said he was coming to see me? Did he really come?' Her classmates craned their necks, eager to glimpse the new student. Avril was also curious. She muttered, "I want to see if this student is as handsas they say." As everyone waited expectantly, a tall figure slowly appeared in the hallway. Andreas had golden hair and deeply defined features. Although he was dressed simply in a white shirt and suit pants, he looked unrealistically handsome.

The female students screamed in excitement, gazing at Andreas with infatuated expressions. They immediately began to discuss him enthusiastically.

"Oh my gosh! This transfer student is so handsome! He's like, otherworldly handsome!" "Yeah, I can't believe someone can look this perfect. Is he even real?" "Did you see that? He just smiled at us, and I felt like I was floating." Amidst the vibrant discussion, Andreas stood at the front and introduced himself.

"Hello, everyone, I'm Andreas. I'm from Zudale University. It's an honor to be here at Pyralis as an exchange student. I hope we can all get along well during my stay." His clear and pleasant voice caused an even bigger stir among the students.

"Oh my gosh, not only is he handsome, but his voice is also amazing. How are we supposed to handle this?" "Yeah, he's stunning. I thought Keenan was handsome, but this guy is on another level." "He's so handsome. I need to take his picture and use it as my wallpaper. I'll never get tired of looking at him." "Forget that! I'm going to ask him to be my deskmate. The seat next tois empty, and if he agrees, I'll be the happiest person alive!" "That's a great idea! You should ask him and let us enjoy the benefits, too." "Okay, you guys watch. I won't chicken out." Their conversations all reached veBonnie's ears. She smiled wryly thought, 'Andreas, you are a troublemaker, charming everyone right from the start.' While she was lost in thought, Avril turned to her and asked, "Bonnie, what do you think of the new student? Handsome, right?" Bonnie gave a measured response, "He's alright."

Though Andreas was handsome, he still couldn't compare to Ivor in her inher eyes. Perhaps, it was because she saw Iver through the lens of love, making him the most handsman in the world to her.

"What? With such stunning looks, did you just say 'alright?"" Avril was om shocked, but then she thought of Ivor and understood. "I see, compared to Ivor, it makes sense. But Andreas and Ivor are two different types. Chapter

"Andreas is like a charming young prince, while Ivor has a a powerfum presence. Comparing them like this, Andreas does seem a bit overshadowed." Bonnie smiled helplessly at Avril's assessment. "Your comparison is quite apt."
