Ch. 881..890

Chapter 881

Prince Andreas heard what she said, and the light in his eyes started growing brighter.

"Are you trying to say that you love me from the bottom of your heart as well, Bonnie? I knew it. I know you're just "

"From the bottom of my heart, Andreas, I don't want to marry you."

He fell silent. It felt as if someone splashed him with a bucket of cold water, chilling him to his heart.

'I knew it. I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up just now.'

He slowly composed himself and asked, "I don't think I'm worse than Ivor in any way! Just how much better is he?"

She mulled it over briefly before responding, "We're talking about love here. It's not about who's better. I met him and I liked what I saw. That's it."

Then, he pressed again, "Well, I knew you before he did! So, why didn't you like me when you first saw me?"

'Seriously? How am I supposed to explain it to him? Actually, is there an answer to this kind of question?'

She rolled her eyes, feeling a little impatient.

"The point is. I fell in love with him because there was chemistry between us. There's no way to put it in specific terms, Andreas."

"Well..." He was about to ask more, but she shot him a mean look, which stopped him immediately.

"That's quite enough. Are you done talking? How are you this long-winded? Listen to me. That's the end of this topic. So, stop asking. If you make another peep about this, I'm going to beat you up!" He sighed heavily in response.

'The way I see it, I'd have better luck teaching a monkey about math than explaining how love works to him. There's just no need to go down this topic again.'

Tearing her gaze away from him, she rummaged around in her pouch before pulling out an invitation.

"This is an invitation to our wedding. You have to be there on that day."

He was stunned at first, but he took it in the end. Then he stared at her with resentment.

"I can take it when you turn me down, Bonnie, but you just had to torture me once more. How cold-blooded."

She couldn't be bothered by what he said. Then, something occurred to her, and she said, "Remember to prepare a great wedding gift for me, Prince Andreas. After all, you're a prince. If your gift isn't expensive and grand, then the other guests will make fun of you."

"Is there a shred of humanity left in you?"

"Also, you have to be here when we're holding a party for our future baby. I'm going to text you when the time's right."

"Alright. Fine. just can't win with you! It looks like you're determined to be with him, and I'm out of it for good. I'm going to give up on your s that good enough for you?" He was worried that she might lob another cold-hearted remark at him if he

didn't stop her now.

'I was so heartbroken over the past few days. Is she seriously trying to hurt me more? Why can't she show me a little mercy? Gosh. Is there someone more miserable than I am right now?' That was what she wanted to hear. She wanted him to compromise and give up on her of his own accord. So, she nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay. It's good that you see things this way."

Then, she glanced at the invitation in his hand and reminded him again, "Remember the date and make sure you don't get it wrong! I'm looking forward to seeing you at my wedding ceremony."

He couldn't help but grumble, "Looking forward? The way I see it, you're just trying to make me feel jealous of Ivor... The pain... It never stops coming!Chapter

"I guess that's the Bonnie I know. You're the best when it comes to torturing someone, after all."

 

Chapter 882

Prince Andreas spoke so softly that Bonnie didn't quite catch what he just said. Turning her ear to him, she asked, "What did you say?"

He came back to his senses and turned around to face her.

"N-Nothing. I was just saying that all I have to do is show up at your wedding ceremony. Is that right?"

She nodded, satisfied. She reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"That's more like it. You're truly my good friend, Prince Andreas. That's very mature of you."

He pursed his lips and felt a little helpless.

'She knew that I didn't want to be just friends with her. Why would she emphasize the word 'good friend' again, especially with everything that has happened?

'Gah. I can't believe she hurt me again! I'm the most miserable sap in the world right now!'

Bonnie walked toward the Maybach again. Opening the car door, she got into it. The next thing she knew, Ivor reached out and grabbed her arm.

"How did the talk go with Prince Andreas? Is it done?"

She flashed him a confident look.

"I dealt with him myself. Everything's resolved!"

He spoke in an affectionate tone. "You're right. You're the best, Bonnie."

Meeting his affectionate gaze, she could feel her cheeks burning up.

"You've just eased up on it recently, but here you are with your smart mouth again."

"I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I've never had a smart mouth. It's how I truly feel. I don't have a way with sweet, romantic words. Don't you know me well enough to know that?" He said it matter-of-factly.

She couldn't help but twitch her lips. "Are you sure you don't know your way around sweet, romantic words? The way I see it, there's no one better than you at it."

"You misunderstand me, Bonnie. That's not who I am at all." He paused before continuing, "I said what I said because I love you from the bottom of my heart."

If he had said this stuff in the past, she would've found it irritating and corny.

However, they did what they did last night, and they were closer than before. So, she actually found what he said to be sweet.

She didn't let it show. Instead, she merely spoke in a more relaxed tone. "Alright have to settle something at the university. So, I've got to go now. If you have something to talk about, then it'll have to wait until I get back."

He wrapped his arm around her slender waist, unwilling to let go.

"How are you this busy? Can't you just keep me company for just one day?"

Something occurred to her, and she blushed.

"Did it slip your mind that I kept you company for the whole of last night? Is it not enough for you?"

His face was filled with satisfaction when he thought about last night, but he still wasn't willing to let go of her waist.

"Not enough at all. It'll never be enough for me unless you stay with me twenty-four-seven."

She rolled her eyes at him.Chapter

"If I do as you say, we won't do anything but stick together like a couple of magnets for the whole day."

"Can we?" He asked earnestly. Obviously, he really wanted what she said to come true.

 

Chapter 883

Bonnie rolled her eyes at him again.

"No way in hell! You really know how to indulge in your fantasies, Ivor!" With that, she decided she had wasted enough time.

Opening the car door, she got out and said, "I'm going to my classes now. You should go back to your company and work. We'll talk about it later."

'He's the kind of person who'd ask for a mile when given an inch. So, it's never going to end if I indulge in this topic with him.

'That's why I have to be tough with him. Otherwise, he's not going to let me go to my classes.'

"Fine, then." He agreed to it reluctantly. Then, something popped into his mind and he said, "I'm going to pick you up after your classes, and we're going to my place. I'm going to cook dinner for you. Alright?" Instead of rejecting him, she agreed to it. "Alright. That won't be a problem."

"Great. I'll go off work earlier today, then." His face was filled with warm affection when he smiled.

She felt something stir in her heart when she caught the affection on his face. Her heart was trembling, and her face turned red as well.

"Actually, you don't have to go off work earlier, just to prepare for it. You can pick me up in the afternoon, and we can buy the ingredients and cook together. Things will move faster if there are two of us, after all."

'I can just feel that she's treating me differently, ever since what we did last night. It's the tiniest detail ever, but I can clearly feel the warmth and love emanating from her.'

At the thought of it, his lips curved, further widening his smile.

"Alright. I'm going to pick you up in the afternoon. Then, we'll do everything together."

Just thinking about the shopping and the cooking was enough to make him feel as sweet as nectar.

"Okay." She responded softly. Then, she waved at him. "Alright. I'm leaving for real now. See you in the afternoon."

"Ciao." He said. Then, something

popped into his mind. "Also, you're very tired from last night. So, take everything easy today. Don't push yourself too hard. Otherwise you might overwork yourself."

The moment he mentioned what happened last night, her face, which had finally returned to normal, looked like it'd blush again.

"Got it. I know about my body better than anyone. I can take care of

myself You've got to stop and ne

your company now. Don't

worry about me."

"Alright. Okay. I'll stop and leave for real now." He smiled and tore his gaze away from her.

Looking at Floyd in the driver's seat, he said, "Take me to the company."

"Roger, Mr. Ivor," Floyd responded and brought the car out of there.

She watched as they left before entering the campus.

Just as she stepped into the lecture hall, Avril pulled her to the side. "Hurry up, Bonnie. Give me the scoop." She looked so interested and excited. Bonnie was caught unawares. A hint of bewilderment traced her face. "Huh? What are you talking about?"

Avril thought she was playing dumb, so she pretended to be upset.

"You know what I mean, and yet you're pretending to be ignorant. Aren't we best friends, Bonnie?"Chapter

Bonnie was even more confused

now. "I honestly have no idea what

you're trying to get me to tell you. Why don't you ask me the question already? Why would you beat around the bush?"

Then, something popped into her mind. She glanced at Avril, who had that gossipy look about her, and understood what her best friend meant at once. "Are you asking me about what went down between Ivor and me?"

 

Chapter 884

"Exactly!" Avril was so excited to see that Bonnie had finally gotten it right.

"Hurry up and tell how you solved the problem between you and Ivor after Prince Andreas proposed to you! Ivor's face was so scary at the rose garden yesterday. Is he terribly pissed off?"

"Isn't it obvious? What man wouldn't be upset when he saw another man proposing to his fiancé?"

Bonnie couldn't help but recall how Ivor drove dangerously yesterday. It still made her shiver when she thought about it.

'If I hadn't successfully blocked him off on the road, something terrible could've happened.'

"So, how on earth did you guys get over it?" Avril was dying of curiosity. She wasn't going to quit until she learned the truth.

Hearing what Avril said reminded Bonnie of what she did with Ivor last night. Her face turned red, and she felt very uneasy now. "W-Well, I explained everything to him. That's how we resolved the misunderstanding and patched up."

Avril was frozen where she stood.

"Are you sure you guys patched up that easily? Didn't Ivor say anything? For that matter, didn't you have to do something?"

'After all, Ivor looked so infuriated at the rose garden yesterday that he could've destroyed everything in the vicinity. Now Bonnie's trying to pass it off like it's no big deal. Why don't I believe her, I wonder?'

"Not really. I mean, it's a misunderstanding, and we communicated with each other. So, that's that. What was there to talk or do about?" Bonnie said.

'Am I supposed to tell her every detail about what I did with Ivor last night? I'm trying to keep things vague and get it over with.'

"Really?" Avril squinted and scanned her from head to toe inquisitively.

All of a sudden, she saw a deep colored mark on Bonnie's neck, and a smile formed on her face.

"I knew it. Things weren't so uneventful. Look at you, Bonnie. You're trying to keep me from the truth, but I found out about it by myself."

Noticing Avril's gaze on her neck, Bonnie checked her reflection. Then, she saw the deep colored mark on her neck and smiled awkwardly at once.

"Tee-hee...

Listening to what Avril said made her face turn red.

"Will you please knock it off?"

"What's wrong? Are you going to tell me that you guys didn't do it?" Avril said and shook Bonnie's arm.

"Who took the lead? Was it you or Ivor? Also-"

"How am I supposed to tell you about something like this? Anyway, I don't have to tell you anything. You'll find out about it when you have a boyfriend."

"B-But, I'm very curious. Come on, tell me. Give me the juicy bits," Avril said in a cute voice and shook Bonnie's arm relentlessly.

"I can't tell you about it. I mean it." Bonnie's face turned red. She chose not to answer Avril.

'I know it's only normal that she's very curious about it. After all, she didn't have any sexual experience. However, it's just impossible for me to talk about this with her. There's no way.'

"Come on, tell me." Avril was still holding her arm tightly.

 

Chapter 885

"I honestly can't tell you about it. Stop pushing me." Bonnie was having a headache because this was the first time she had known how difficult Avril could be.

On the other hand, Avril realized Bonnie was really troubled. So, she decided she wouldn't push her any further.

"Fine, then. Since you put it that way, I'll stop asking."

'Anyway, I'm asking about it out of curiosity. Also, I just wanted to mess with her a little. It's not like I'll lose sleep if she doesn't tell me about it.'

Bonnie let out a sigh of relief. "Okay."

Then, she diverted the topic. "If memory serves me right, there's a club activity today. We have to prepare quite a number of things. You can give me a hand with it."

"Sure thing." Avril took Bonnie's arms in hers and followed to the club.

A moment after they left, Andreas came out of a corner not far from where they stood. He watched as they walked away, a hint of sorrow traced his face.

His royal guard, who stood next to him, couldn't help but ask, "I don't get it, Your Highness. If you love Ms. Bonnie this much, why won't you stay and spend more time with her?"

Actually, he was a little confused when the prince asked him to get the private jet ready by today.

'The private jet is ready to take off anytime. Prince Andreas could leave at any given moment. From the looks of it, however, he's very reluctant to leave this place. To be more accurate, he's reluctant to leave Bonnie.

'It confuses me. Why would he decide to leave this country when he clearly couldn't bear to part with her?'

Andreas couldn't help but sigh heavily. "Bonnie taught me something. Loving someone doesn't mean we have to get them for ourselves. All that matters is that we know that they're living a happy and blissful life. That's all there is to it.

"Needless to say, things didn't turnnoveldrama

out the way I wanted them to, but that's okay. All that matters is that she's happy. I'm fine with whatever I can get.

"Also, I'm choosing to return to Zudale now because I need to pick myself back up and recover from this. It be a changed man the next time see her. Hopefully, I'll have become more incredible by then.

"I might not be able to become her е husband. However, I want to be the kind of man who deserves to stand her, even if I'll be doing so as 2nd."

The royal guard hadn't the foggiest idea what the prince was talking about.

"Huh? Recover? What do you mean by that, Your Highness? You're not injured at all, though."

Andreas was speechless at that. "Just shut up if you don't get it! Pack up my stuff while you're at it. We're going back to Zudale soon."

He was feeling rather melancholic a second ago. However, the dense royal guard managed to cheer him up a little.

'Seriously, though. He managed to make me feel much better. I don't feel down in the dumps anymore.'

"As you wish, Your Highness." The royal guard responded and went away to do his bidding.

Andreas took a look at where he last saw Bonnie before tearing his gaze away and smiling. 'Farewell, my princess.'

On the other hand, Bonnie was packing up her stuff when her right eyelid was twitching like crazy again.

Realizing it, she couldn't help but stop what she was doing. Her brows furrowed as well.

"What's going on here? Is something bad going to happen again?"

'With that said, everything's swell between me and Ivor. So, what kind of bad thing could happen now?'

Chapter 886

Avril heard Bonnie's mumblings and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What did you say, Bonnie? Is something out of order?" Raising her hand, Bonnie touched her twitching eyelid. "It's nothing. It's just my right eyelid twitching like crazy again."

Avril couldn't help but feel nervous as well.

"Your right eyelid was also twitching like this when Prince Andreas proposed to you and Ivor found out about it. Do you think this means that something bad's going to happen again?"

Bonnie frowned in response. She was about to say something when her phone started buzzing.

It was Reece calling her. Answering his call, she asked, "What's the matter, Reece?"

"I'm sorry to be bothering you, Ms. Bonnie. Is this a good time to talk on the phone?"

"I can talk. Just tell me what's going on." She couldn't help but guess what this call was about,

'My right eyelid was twitching like crazy before he called. Could it be that it's related to the university?'

She was still in the middle of her thought when she heard his voice from the other end of the phone.

"Here's the thing. The prince of Zudale is an exchange student at our university. He applied to the university to be transferred back to his previous university.

"We've been watching the security camera and confirmed that he has boarded his private plane. He's probably on his way back to his country now. Furthermore, he left you something, too. He asked us to make sure that you get it."

Pursing her lips, she couldn't put words to what she was feeling now.

'It looks like Prince Andreas is really hurt over my rejection of his proposal. He couldn't even tell me about it before he took a flight back to Zudale.

'Given how things are now, though, I can't think of any way to make it better. There's nothing we can do but let things run their course.'

"Do you have it with you now? I'll get it from you immediately."

"Yeah. I have it. I'm going to wait for you outside your office."

"That works for me. I appreciate it, Reece." She hung up, turned around, and looked at Avril. "I have to attend to some matters. I'm letting you take over here."

Avril wasn't standing near Bonnie. So, she could only hear what Bonnie said, but she was oblivious to what Reece said.

Judging by what Bonnie said, she deduced the latest turn of events and tried to probe the former. "Did Prince Andreas leave?"

"Mm-hmm. He left me something.

So, I want to take a look at it," Bonnie

said and glanced at Avril. "The Onnie

why'll have to let you take over the club activities."

Avril waved her hand and said, "It's alright. There isn't much left to do, anyway. Leave it to me and do what you have to do."

"Okay," Bonnie responded and strolled toward the president's office.

Once she was there, she saw Reece, who was waiting outside the office. "Hey, Reece."

V.net

He heard her voice and turned around, Looking at Bonnie, who wasn't standing far away, he jogged over and gave her the envelope with both hands.

"This is what Prince Andreas left for you, Ms. Bonnie."

Taking the envelope from him, she said, "Thanks for coming all the way, Reece."Chapter

"It's a small matter, Ms. Bonnie. What's with the formality? It's my honor to serve you."

'It might've been an insignificant errand, but I'm more than willing to do it for her.'

 

Chapter 887

'After all, Bonnie is Ms. Bonita. Running an errand for Ms. Bonita is something that fills me with pride.'

"I appreciate it." Bonnie thanked Reece again before she walked into her office with the envelope in her hand. "I'm going to see what's in here. Go ahead and do your work."

"Got it, Ms. Bonnie." Now that he had finished his task, he didn't have to say anything else. Instead, he trotted off happily.

Closing the door, she walked over to the chair and sat down. Then, she opened the envelope Prince Andreas left her.

She pulled a piece of paper out of it and looked at it. It was a drawing of a sad man. Something was written in the bottom left corner.

"Goodbye, my princess. I'm going back to my country to lick my wounds."

She felt pretty solemn when she sat down and opened the envelope a minute ago. Now that she saw his drawing, she wasn't sure if she should laugh or cry. 'Geez. Prince Andreas might've been childish at times, but he was adorable, too. Judging by the drawing he left me, it's pretty clear that he has moved on from me. 'It looks like we'll be staying friends in the future. There's nothing left to worry about here.'

She looked at the drawing again before pulling out her phone and taking a picture. Then, she sent the picture to him, letting him know that she had read it.

She also sent another text to him. It read, "It's interesting and cute."

Andreas was already back in Zudale by the time he received the text from her.

Reading her text, he couldn't resist chuckling out loud.

'Sigh... She's such an incredible lady. If only she was my princess. What a shame that things didn't turn out that way...'

In the blink of an eye, it was Valentine's Day.

The top management staff of Pyralis University were disagreeing with a decision. They were arguing about whether they should decorate the university for Valentine's Day.

All of them fought with each other for a long time, but they couldn't come to a conclusion. So, they went to Bonnie and let her make the decision.

They fell into two ranks and faced each other.

"Naturally, we're not going to stop the students from celebrating the occasion themselves. However, decorating the university with a Valentine's Day theme is a little out

of line. It'll affect the universitetnoveldrama

whole."

as a

"Hear, hear. We're taking care of the students who don't want to celebrate Valentine's Day by not decorating the campus with the relevant theme. After all, not everyone looks forward to Valentine's Day."

Now that the first party had said their piece, it was the second party's turn to speak.

"Come on. Look at the day and age we're living in now. The students are all young. Surely, they'll fancy these flashy things. We need to keep up with the time."

"More to the point, we're just putting up decorations on campus. How does that affect our university as a whole? The way I see it, the students are going to appreciate that we decorated the campus for this occasion.

"They'll see that we're humane, thoughtful, and considerate. It's our duty to take care of all aspects of the students' lives. We have to think outside the box sometimes, instead of fetting the old ways restrict us."

Both of the parties made reasonable points, but none of them were willing to back down. So, they cast their glances at Bonnie.

"What's your take on this, Ms. Bonnie?"

 

Chapter 888

Bonnie rubbed her chin before saying, "I think all of you made some good points, but I'm leaning more toward decorating the campus in the Valentine's Day theme. It'll add a layer of joy before the exam. "That said, there's no need to overdo it. A simple gesture will do. That way, we'll be able to take care of different students' needs and prevent them from affecting each other, too."

Some of the top management staff were against the idea of decorating the campus with the Valentine's Day theme. Now that Bonnie said her piece, none of them objected to it anymore.

"If Ms. Bonnie put it that way, then we'll do as she says."

"That's right. We'll do everything she says."

"Okay." She responded faintly. Lowering her head, she checked the time and found that she had to head to the lab soon. So, she raised her head and looked at them. "Is there something else? If that's all, then the meeting is adjourned."

The top management staff shook their heads in unison. "That's all, Ms. Bonnie."

Nodding slightly, she tore her gaze away and left the conference room.

The next day, Bonnie had just arrived at the university gate when she ran into Avril.

Avril ran over, took Bonnie's arms in hers, and asked nosily, "Didn't you say Prince Andreas left you something yesterday? I'm curious. What exactly did he give you?"

"Are you sure you want to know?" Bonnie turned her head sideways and asked.

Avril nodded in response. "Of course I do. I'm so curious, I could die."

Bonnie giggled. Then, she pulled out her phone and showed her friend the picture she snapped yesterday. It was a picture of the prince's drawing.

"Here you go. See for yourself. This is what he left me."

Lowering her head, Avril looked at it. Her lips couldn't help but twitch when she saw the picture. "Is that all?"

Bonnie couldn't help but laugh when she saw the expression on Avril's face. "Bingo."

"I-Isn't there anything else?" Avril asked with utter disbelief.

'Prince Andreas is a prince of a nation,

'I never expected him to leave her a drawing, though. Color me surprised.'

"Nope," Bonnie responded, still wearing the grin. "With that said, this is the best parting gift, as far as I'm concerned."Chapter

That was because she knew Andreas had moved on from her, which meant they could remain friends.

Bonnie's arm in hers. Then she saw

it.

There were balloons everywhere on campus. A lot of trees were tied with ribbons too. She couldn't help but gasp.

"Woah! What's the occasion? Why did the university do all these?"

"It's Valentine's Day today. Don't you know that?"

"Valentine's Day?!" Avril pulled out her phone and checked the

calendar. "Gee. You're right! I've been single for so long that I'm not even aware of it.

Then, she looked at Bonnie, excited.

"Say, did Ivor mention anything about giving you a Valentine's Day gift?"

Bonnie gave it some thought before shaking her head.

"Not at all. He's been quite busy lately. All we did was make video calls, say goodnight, and go to sleep.”

"Huh? Video calls?" Avril was surprised. "Aren't you guys living in the same place?"

 

Chapter 889

"Nuh-uh." The way Bonnie saw it, staying in her own place was far more comfortable.

Avril sounded dissatisfied when she spoke. "Aren't you guys engaged? For Heaven's sake, you guys even did it. So, why aren't you staying together? It'll make you guys get closer to each other. On top of that, someone would look after you. How good is that?"

"We have different schools of thought. I just do whatever makes me happy." Bonnie didn't have an idea of how to explain to her friend her personal feelings.

Avril nodded in approval. "I guess you're right. What matters is that you're happy."

Both of them were still chatting when they arrived at the lecture hall.

Most of the girls in the classroom had a bouquet of roses in their hands and various gifts on their tables. They were all huddled together and bragging about what they received with a triumphant look on their faces.

'The truth is that I don't really care about Valentine's Day, much less think about how to spend it. However, all the students look so happy. It's proof that I made the right decision yesterday.

'Also, there's something to be learned here. Only by keeping up with the times could we manage the young students more efficiently.'

She was in the middle of her thoughts when she heard some of their mutterings. They were talking about her.

"Eh? If memory serves me right, Bonnie has a lot of good-looking guys around her all the time. Why doesn't she have any gifts now?"

"Perhaps they haven't given her their gifts yet."

"I sure hope she isn't all talk and no action. She might've been confident and boastful normally, but it looks like she didn't get anything on Valentine's Day."

"She seemed to be quite reputable. So, I don't think she's going to go home empty-handed today. Perhaps the gifts merely came late."

Bonnie heard everything they said, but she wasn't fazed at all. 'They can say whatever they want, and it still wouldn't affect me one bit.'

However, Avril, who sat next to her and heard it as well, couldn't help but feel upset for her.

"These people just don't know when to quit. They're so bored that they want to see you being made fun of every day!"

Bonnie shrugged nonchalantly. "It's fine. They can say whatever they want. I'm not bothered by it anyway."

"You've got high emotional intelligence, as usual," Avril said with a giggle. Then, something popped into her mind and she added,

"You are the most beautiful girl on campus! On top of that, you're adored by so many good-looking guys. I'm sure you'll receive so many gifts that they take up the entire lecture hall, much less a table. These ladies are going to be so

jealous by then!"

"Actually, I don't really care about this, nor do I need people to give me gifts. More to the point, someone will go on a rampage if I accept those gifts."

She caught the professor coming into the lecture hall from the corner of her eyes and said, "Come on. The class is starting now. We've got to focus on it and stop thinking about Valentine's Day."

Avril nodded. "Gotcha."

Everyone in the lecture hall held their breath the entire morning. They

were for the good-looking

guys on campus to step into the hall and give Bonnie gifts.

However, nobody walked over to her seat at all, much less gave her any gifts.Chapter

Everyone saw it and they couldn't help but make fun of her.

"I knew it. Those handsome guys were just fooling around with her. Otherwise, why would none of them give her gifts on a day that's so important?"

 

Chapter 890

The moment someone said that everyone else looked at her mockingly. Then, they began to mutter among themselves and badmouthed Bonnie.

"It's absurd how she has always looked indifferent and conceited. Did she really think she's some kind of big shot?"

"You got that right. She's full of herself all the time. No one could stand how cocky she is!"

"Now that this happened to her, I'm going to make fun of her for this. In the future, I can also remind her about it when she starts acting arrogantly. Let's see if she can still act all high and mighty when I do that. Each of their mutterings was harsher than the last.Chapter

Avril couldn't stand it anymore. Just as she was about to stand up to take them down a peg, Bonnie held her hand and pressed it down.

"Remember what I said earlier? I don't care about all of this. Let them say whatever they like."

However, Avril was agitated on her friend's behalf. "You say that, but they're going to spout harsher words if you leave them unchecked."

"It'll be fine. Take a seat and put on your earphones. Then, you won't have to suffer their ramblings." Bonnie didn't wish to waste her time and energy on something like this.

"Come on, Bonnie. They're so mean. Are you sure you can bear with it?" There was no way Avril could do the same thing Bonnie did. She could never turn a deaf ear to what they were saying. For that matter, she couldn't take it when someone talked about her friend this way.

Bonnie looked at her and said leisurely, "Am I right in saying that you think they've stepped over the line and that their words were very awful and infuriating?"

"Exactly! I'm so pissed off that I wish I could tape their mouths shut one by one. That'll teach them to keep their traps shut." Avril couldn't confront and retort them. So, all she could do now was glare at the gossiping ladies.

"Did it ever cross your mind that they're doing this to humiliate and upset me? You would've played right into their hands if you went over there and started fighting with them. They would've succeeded in what they set out to do." Bonnie analyzed the whole thing for Avril.

Then, it hit her. She gave Bonnie a thumbs up.

"Dang! You make such a fine point! If we confront and argue with them about this, it'll mean that we care

about what they say. Then, they net

might just look at us the way they would idiots. In fact, they would've loved seeing us get upset,

"Instead of doing that, remaining quiet is the better alternative here Let them hurl their insults at someone who didn't give a damn about it. That way, we'll rob them of the fun of doing it."

The more she talked about it, the more sense she saw in what Bonnie said.

"That's the Bonnie I know. Your level of intelligence is one of a kind."

Bonnie pulled her friend down and made her sit. "That's why I always say that silence is the best response. There's no need to say anything. After all, it's not like they'll listen to it."

"I get it now." Avril took her seat. "I'll do as you say and keep my mouth shut."

"Very well," Bonnie responded, lowered her head, and continued to go through her documents.

However, the ladies kept pestering her the way flies would. Their insults grew harsher by the minute. It got so bad that they were starting to accuse her of having a messed up private life.

Bonnie merely wore her earphones and flipped through her documents. She didn't hear what they said at all, let alone get mad over it.

Coleman snuck in and hid by the door to peer at Bonnie. Naturally, he heard everything her classmates said about her.

Unable to hold himself back anymore, he clenched his fists and marched into the lecture hall. His tone was cold when he barked at them, "Shut up, all of you!"

The moment everyone saw that he was here, they clamped up at once. After all, he was speaking up for Bonnie.

Only a few of the ladies who sat in the corner were still muttering to each other because they thought he couldn't hear them. They huddled together and whispered, "What's Coleman doing here? Did he make his way here just so he could give Bonnie a Valentine's Day gift?"

"That's probably why he's here... We really shouldn't have said what we just said. "
