Ch. 901..910

Chapter 901

Ivor noticed Bonnie's shyness and thought she was prettier than the most exquisite flower he could buy. Although the roses she held were stunning, they paled to her. Even her cheeks were redder than the

flowers.

Ivor could not help but gulp as he stared at Bonnie lustfully. "Bonnie, I—”

Meanwhile, she admired the bouquet and waited for his answer. Then, she realized he did not hear her question and said her name instead. Bonnie turned away from the flowers and looked at him. "What's the..."

Before she could finish, she discovered why Ivor did not answer her question. She noticed him staring at her passionately.

At that moment, she felt the urge to run from him. She suppressed her intentions and composed herself before asking, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Bonnie reached for Ivor's cheek and noticed his profound eyes. Suddenly, Ivor grabbed her arm and pulled her onto his lap. She felt his warmth and shifted, mindful of Floyd in the driver's seat. She lowered her head and said, "Why did you pull me onto your lap? Let go, Ivor."

"Fat chance." Ivor rested his chin on her shoulder and savored his newfound peace. He stared at her, suggesting he could eat her up at any moment.

Bonnie sighed helplessly and asked,

"What's your angle? Let me go, Ivor. You're wrong if you think I'll let you have your way just because you

bought me some gifts. I'll get mad if

you don't let me go immediately."

Ivor feigned innocence and said, "We're engaged, Bonnie. I'm only hugging you. Are you denying me of something so trivial?"

Bonnie rolled her eyes and pushed

at his chest to keep a distance from him. She said, "Your eyes tell me you're thinking of something nasty. I understand these things about you, Ivor!"

Ivor grinned. "Oh, I'm up to no good, huh? Tell me what you think it is, and I'll tell you if you're right."

"Stop trying to trick me. I'm not a fool." Bonnie no longer wanted to talk to him. She frowned and feigned solemnity, saying, "Let me go. Don't make me mad!"

'Ivor's always like this. He'd ask for a mile whenever I gave an inch. I must be sterner with him. Considering the state he's in now, we might end up doing unspeakable things. Although I've done it with him, we must keep a distance under normalnoveldrama

circumstances.

'Also, Floyd is here. I'm not as shameless as Ivor. I can't do something so intimate in someone else's presence.'

Ivor loosened his grip on Bonnie's waist when he noticed how mad she was. He asked, "Can I go to your place tonight?"

 

Chapter 902

Bonnie raised her brows and questioned, "What, do you want to take advantage of me at my place?"

When she said that, Ivor smirked. "What's wrong? Can't I do that?"

She looked into his eyes and slowly said, "You may. Not."

Since it was Valentine's Day, she knew she would end up sleeping with him if he visited her place. She would not grant his wishes at a time like this.

"Why?" Ivor stared at Bonnie with a hint of pity in his eyes. "I can cook and look after you when I'm there. That sounds lovely, right? So, what do you say?"

She pushed him away as he leaned closer. She could not explain it, but he looked a little adorable. Then, she smiled and said, "I can cook and look after myself. I don't need you to do all that." After some thought, Ivor resumed his pitiful tone, "Well, you won't have to do it yourself if I'm there. I swear I'll care for you and make you feel good. It's just for tonight, Bonnie."

His eyes brimmed with affection, and his voice was full of love as he added, "I want to spend this special day with you."

Bonnie pursed her lips and glanced at him, unable to reject him. After some hesitation, she finally nodded in agreement. "I guess you can come over, especially because you look so sincere. "Still, you must promise you're only coming to cook and look after me. You're not allowed to do anything else."

Although the couple had done it

once, Bonnie did not want to be too pretentious. Last time, they had gone all the way before they knew it. She could not say it aloud, but her private parts were still recovering from the last time they did it, as Ivor was too intense. Chapter

Meanwhile, Ivor noticed Bonnie wavering and quickly promised her, "Okay, I promise."

Bonnie had a plan. She said, "How about we visit the grocery store to buy some ingredients? We should also try to make desserts."

Ivor's smile grew wider when he heard that. "You want to make desserts, too?"

"Yeah, of course!" Bonnie replied. Then, she squinted at Ivor and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like desserts?"

Ivor wrapped his arms around her waist, saying, "Why wouldn't I? It's just been a long time since I've had your desserts. I was just surprised when you said you'd make them tonight. It seems I'm in for a treat."

Bonnie could not explain it, but she blushed when she heard that. She said, "There you go again with your smart mouth. I wonder where you learned to be so sweet."

Ivor chuckled and said helplessly, "Well, who do you think I learned that from?”

She rolled her eyes. "How would I know? For all I know, you could've been a playboy in the past. That's how you practiced your skillful sweet-talking."

Ivor did not expect Bonnie to twist

the story like that, and he did not know how to react. Suddenly, he

pinched her cheek and said, "You et

just said that to upset me, didn't you? I've never been with anyone else besides you, yet you called me a playboy."

 

Chapter 903

Although Bonnie had deliberately said that, she felt a sense of sweetness when Ivor explained himself. Still, she did not let up and questioned him, "Then, where did you learn how to sweet-talk? Did you teach

yourself?"

Ivor replied, "You got me there. Indeed, I taught myself how to sweet-talk."

"Huh?" Bonnie was puzzled before returning to her senses and rolling her eyes. "You're bluffing again."

Ivor remained patient, trying to explain himself by asking, "Do you think I would lie? Every guy eventually teaches himself how to sweet-talk when he meets someone he loves. That's because he wants to make her happy.

"He'd learn to put his feelings into words and constantly tell her about them. That's how a man possesses such skills. Still, I'm not saying I didn't use the internet. I searched for ways to sweet-talk. After all, I've never had other experiences in relationships."

Ivor did not intend to tell Bonnie how he learned to sweet-talk. However, she doubted him, and he could only tell her everything.

Meanwhile, Bonnie thought it was sweet that he did all that for her. She felt warm and fuzzy inside and began to grin. She said, "Do you expect me to believe you just because you said that? For all I know, you could still be lying."

Ivor wanted to explain it again since she still refused to believe him. Then, he noticed her grin and tickled her. "You're a naughty one! How dare you trick me? It looks like I'll have to punish you. Here's what happens when you fool me."

Bonnie was ticklish, hysterically laughing as he tickled her. "Hahaha! I-Ivor, stop it! I can't take it anymore!"

Ivor was cunning, aiming for her soft spots and taking advantage of her. He grinned when he noticed how

hard she laughed. "This ought tonet

teach you to mess with me, Bonnie! Now promise you'll never fool me again, or I'll keep tickling you!"

Bonnie refused to submit to him and avoided giving him what he wanted. "Th-there's no way I'll promise you that Y-You're the one who's petty and can't take a joke!"

"Are you that?

reached for her armpit

Bonnie stared at Ivor lying on her and exclaimed, "Y-You wouldn't dare!"

"I guess we'll find out." Immediately after, Ivor tickled her armpit.

Bonnie's cackles changed into howling laughter. She could no longer control herself. "Hahaha! J-Just you wait, Ivor!"

"I guess we'll find out." At the next moment, his hand found her armpit and started tickling.

'One day, I'll develop a laughing powder-he'll be the first test subject. He'll know how it feels to laugh this hysterically.'

Ivor continued to tickle her while playing innocent. "Hmm, that's what I'm doing now. Can't you tell I'm waiting for your promise?"

 

Chapter 904

Ivor's sarcastic remark upset Bonnie. She was about to retaliate, but he tickled her again, causing her to forget. Although she even shed tears from laughing, she refused to promise or apologize to him. On the other hand, Ivor did not expect Bonnie to last this long. He smiled helplessly and stopped tickling her, saying, "Fine, I'll quit torturing you."

She wiped her tears and glared at him accusingly. "You shouldn't have toyed with me. You started it, y'know."

Ivor chuckled and was about to say something. However, he was stunned when he looked at her. At that moment, his expression darkened when he saw Bonnie's bloodshot eyes. They starkly contrasted against her fair, glowing skin, making them more seductive.

Meanwhile, Bonnie saw him staring at her even more lustfully than before. She felt so uneasy that her throat felt dry. She feigned ignorance to make things less awkward and asked, "Wh-what are you trying to do? You keep looking at me like that."Chapter

Ivor gulped and drew closer to her. "You're a brilliant woman, Bonnie. Do you honestly not know what I want to do to you?"

Bonnie propped herself up and leaned backward, stuttering, "I-I don't know what you're talking about. I don't want to know, either."

"Heh, heh." Ivor chuckled and smiled. "I know you understand what I mean. You're just playing dumb, that's all."

"I mean it. I don't-"

Suddenly, Ivor kissed her lips before

l.n

she could finish her sentence. Bonnie could not help but moan and grasp the leather seat. Ivor intertwined his fingers with hers a moment later, refusing to let her shake them off.

Floyd heard the sounds in the backseat and quickly realized

something was happening. He.net

raised the partition and blocked off the passionate couple.

Half an hour later, Floyd pulled over by the

Bonnienfield Resort Villa, and

out. Her lips were red,

and a couple of buttons had fallen off her shirt.

Soon after, Ivor exited the car, looking satisfied. Bonnie stared at him and instinctively gritted her teeth in anger.

 

Chapter 905

Bonnie scolded, "You've lost the privilege to have dinner with me. Go home, Ivor."Chapter

When Ivor started to kiss her earlier, she was worried things would get out of control. That was why she told him to stop before it did. However, Ivor had tricked her by saying it was only a kiss. He even promised not to do anything else. Still, things spun out of control as she had predicted.

Fortunately, the car had a partition, or Bonnie would feel even more ashamed in Floyd's presence. Bonnie was never shy, but Ivor was so shameless that it embarrassed her. Although Bonnie was a professional and could handle many things, she was slow in relationships.

"Come on, Bonnie. You know how hard it is for me to control myself around you. Please forgive me," Ivor said as he pulled out his phone to show it to her, "You said we'd go out and buy some ingredients to make dinner and desserts, right? Look, I noted down your favorite dishes."

Bonnie scoffed as she pointed at her red lips and missing shirt buttons. "Do I look like I can go to the grocery store like this? If you want to buy them so badly, do it yourself."

She was furious with how Ivor had tricked her and lost her appetite. She no longer had the energy to make dessert, either. At that point, she only wanted to rest.

"It's okay if you don't want to come with me. I can take care of the groceries. Just wait for me here, and I'll be back before you know it." Ivor entered the car and told Floyd to take him to the store.

Bonnie watched as the Maybach drove into the distance. Then, she realized he had tricked her again. Although she told him she had lost his dinner privileges, he twisted her words and undid what she said. 'Forget it. I'll give Ivor a pass since he's taking the initiative to buy the groceries and make dessert.'

Bonnie entered her house, got

comfortable on the couch, and

watched television. Half an hour

later, Ivor returned with loads of net

bags. Bonnie sat upright and asked, "Why'd you buy so many things? Are you sure we can finish all of these?"

Ivor waved the bags at her, saying, "I didn't just buy ingredients. I also bought your favorite snacks and daily essentials. Since I already bought them, you won't have to waste time going out for more."

His thoughtfulness made Bonnie feel warm and fuzzy. She asked, "How'd you know I ran out of these things? Did you sneak into my place one day and snoop around?"

Ivor chuckled and removed the

snacks from the bag before lining them up in her snack cabinet. "Why would you say that about me, Bonnie? Although I could come here when you're not around, I wouldn't sneak in. I'll just enter through the

front door instead."

Bonnie giggled and grinned joyfully. "I guess you're right. After all, this isn't just my home. It'll also belong to you in the future."

The couple might have lived

separately most of the time, but she

would allow him to visit

occasionally. That was how she gradually accepted him into her home, building a foundation for

when they would eventually five together.

Bonnie used to think that way, but after going through so much together, she knew she could count on Ivor. That was why she no longer kept her thoughts to herself. Bonnie found the openness between them reassuring.

Ivor was stunned when he heard what Bonnie said. After returning to his senses, he smiled with joy and approached her. "Bonnie, can you repeat that?"

 

Chapter 906

Bonnie knew her words meant a lot to Ivor. She stared into his eyes and uttered, "This villa will be our future home."

Immediately after, an overwhelming sense of joy filled Ivor's heart. He could not contain himself and hugged her tightly. "Oh, my dear Bonnie, I love you so much."

Bonnie had never told him anything like that before. The fact that she did it now proved she had accepted him.

She felt how tightly he hugged her and thought it resembled his intense love for her. It enveloped Bonnie, making feel cleansed. The couple hugged each other for a long while. Then, Bonnie pushed him gently and said, "All right, my stomach's growling. Hurry up and make dinner."

"Okay, you can continue watching TV. Leave the kitchen to me." Ivor rolled his sleeves and picked up the bags from the floor before heading toward the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, Bonnie caught up to him and stood by the door, asking, "Are you sure you can do everything alone? Should I help?"

"That's okay. You can take a break while I handle it," Ivor said as he removed the ingredients from their bags and sorted them. Bonnie stared at his toned arms and thought, 'He looks like he's been going to the gym. His muscles look much firmer now.'

Ivor noticed her star and quietly put down the things he held. Then, he approached her while she was still in her thoughts. "Bonnie, were you looking at my arms? Do you want to touch them?" Chapter

Bonnie snapped out of it and rolled her eyes. "Stop spouting nonsense and make dinner."

She looked away and headed to the living room. Once she sat on the couch, she opened a bag of chips and started eating.

Ivor noticed it and could not help but nag, "Don't have too many of those before dinner, or you'll lose your appetite."

Bonnie raised her brow and said playfully, "You're not my dad."

Although she said that, she put down the bag of chips and resumed watching television.

"No, I'm not your dad. I'm your future

husband. If I don't control you,

will?" when

On the other hand, Bonnie rolled her eyes and said, "That's in the future. I'm not your wife yet."

Ivor grew more joyful when he heard that. He replied, "It's just a matter of

no escaping it."

Bonnie was about to retort when her stomach growled loudly.

 

Chapter 907

Bonnie's stomach was so loud that Ivor heard it. He was stunned before saying apologetically, "I thought you were joking when you said you were hungry. I didn't know you were starving. Sorry to keep you waiting. I'll cook faster."

Bonnie rubbed her belly and thought, 'I'm so hungry I can eat a horse.'

"Well, hurry up, or I'll die of starvation."

"You got it," Ivor replied before quickly preparing the ingredients.

Bonnie glanced at him and then returned her attention to the television. Although Ivor did not want to waste much more time, he made several of her favorite dishes but had to forgo the desserts.

Bonnie said, "It's okay if you can't make the desserts today. We'll just save them for tomorrow. I'll make something for you since you're cooking dinner today."

After dinner, the couple cuddled on the couch and watched television together. Ivor ran his fingers through her hair when he thought of something and said, "Do you remember what'll happen in a couple of weeks?"

"Huh?" Bonnie thought about it but could not remember anything important. "I forgot."

Ivor did not expect her to forget about it. A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes as he said, "Think a little harder. Considering how accurate your memory is, I doubt you'll forget it." Bonnie frowned and thought, 'Wait, did I genuinely forget?'

After careful consideration, she looked at Ivor apologetically and said, "I'm sorry. So many things have happened over the past few weeks that I forgot about our big day."

Ivor pinched her cheek and

responded, "I'm glad you finally

remember Grandpa and the others have already handled the wedding preparations. Even though we don't

have to worry about that, I'll have to discuss some details with you."

Bonnie thought they had finalized everything but became curious about what details Ivor wanted to discuss. She asked, "What kind of details?"

"Your bridal gown and the jewelry you'll wear. Do you want me to get the best designer in our country to make them for you?" Ivor took his phone and added, "These fashion designers are pretty proficient. Do you want to pick one?"

Bonnie shook her head. "That's okay. I've decided to design my bridal gown myself. I'm halfway done, anyway just have to adjust the details, and it'll be ready. Also, plan to sew it myself to make it morenoveldrama

meaningful."

"I forgot you're the renowned Finley. That said, you only have half a month to make the gown. Can you make it in time? Do you want to finalize the design and let the fashion designers I mentioned sew it?"

After some thought, Bonnie agreed with Ivor. Since she did not have enough time to sew the gown, she would let one of the fashion designers do it.

"All right, you can find me the best fashion designers to make my gown. Remember, you'll have to follow up on their work. I don't want any mistakes and will not wear it on our wedding day."

Ivor nodded and said, "I'll keep an eye on them. Also, Grandpa wants us to have dinner at his place. Do you want to go?"

 

Chapter 908

"Of course, I'll go," Bonnie said, "We'll visit the mall tomorrow to buy him something. It's not good to show up at his place empty-handed."

Ivor could not help but chuckle. "Don't you know him well enough already? He'll be thrilled if you just show up for the family dinner. You don't have to buy him anything."

"I know that, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't." Bonnie was determined to buy Sigmund a gift. "I've made up my mind, and that's that. Consider it a way to make him happy."

If it were the past, she would not have thought about that. However, she was about to marry Ivor, and it just was inappropriate not to buy Sigmund a gift.

Ivor nodded. "Okay, I'll pick you up once your classes end. We'll shop for a gift together."

"You got it." Bonnie yawned and added, "I'm a little tired, so I'll hit the sack now. Otherwise, I won't be at my best when conducting research tomorrow."

Ivor wanted to fool around with her but decided against it when he heard she had research to conduct tomorrow. After all, such a task required absolute focus. He did not want to make it hard for his fiancee to do it.

"Okay, go ahead. I have to review some documents in the study anyway."

Bonnie was so exhausted that she could barely keep her eyes open. She stood from the couch and said, "You should rest earlier, too. Don't work too late, got it?"

"I know." Ivor smiled. "Hurry up and get some rest. Don't worry about me."

"Hey, you're not the only one who

gets to order me around. I get tonag at you, too." Bonnie scoffed.

"Remember to sleep early. If I eatch you working too late, I'll make you regret it."

Ivor was typically disciplined. However, he would get caught up with work and lose track of time. That was why Bonnie was stern with him, or he would not listen to her. Ivor raised a hand and promised, "Okay, I get it. Will you go to bed already? I'll go to bed right after work."

Bonnie was about to head upstairs when she remembered something. She adjusted the alarm clock,

saying, give you two hours tonet

"

finish your work. I don't care if you're not done, but you must go to bed once the alarm rings."

"All right already!" Ivor took the alarm clock and said, "I'll sleep after exactly two hours and not a minute later."Chapter

Bonnie nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, I'm going to sleep now. You can start working."

"Sweet dreams," he said affectionately.

Bonnie responded smilingly, "Sweet dreams, Ivor."

When Bonnie awoke the following day, the sun was already up. After freshening up and leaving the bathroom, she smelled the

downstairs. As she approachel.net

fragrance of delicious food

the

dining room, she saw her favorite

food on the table.

Grilled cheese sandwiches, mashed potatoes, Caesar salad, and more were on the table. So much food was there that they could barely fit it all.

 

Chapter 909

Bonnie's lips twitched when she saw how much food was on the table. "Why'd you make so many dishes? I don't think we can finish all that by ourselves."

Ivor poured her a glass of milk and pushed it to her side of the table, saying, "Of course we can. It might look like a lot, but the portions are small. Do you know why I made all this?" Bonnie asked in puzzlement, "Why?"

"It's because I want you to have all your favorites in one go." Ivor had worked hard to cook her favorite foods.

At that moment, Bonnie felt overwhelmed with emotions. She said, "Have I always been this fussy? I can eat anything for breakfast, but I don't need all this."

Things were tough when she participated in various training. Sometimes, she would not even have a warm meal. It was a nightmare-no one cared about Bonnie's preferences. She did not know how it felt to be protected and doted on until she met Ivor.

He was stunned when she said that. He patted her head and said, "What are you talking about? I'm more than happy to do this for you. It's my duty to be the best fiance for you. Also, you're the most incredible woman in the world. That means you deserve nothing but the best. I can't make you a thoughtless breakfast."

Bonnie was shocked. She felt a lump in her throat when she finally returned to her senses. "Why do you treat me so well, Ivor?"

Ivor patted her shoulder and said, "That's a silly question. You're my fiancee, and we'll spend an eternity together. Of course, I'll shower you with love and care."

He put some mashed potatoes on her plate and added, "You should be at the research institute soon, right? Hurry up and eat, or you'll be late for work."

Bonnie nodded. "All right, let's dig in."

She lowered her head and munched

on her food, thinking, 'It doesn't matter what happens in the future, must learn from this and treat Ivor better er than I do now. After all, we must both contribute to keep a healthy relationship. It

an effort.'

That afternoon, Avril tried her best to convince Bonnie to go shopping. However, the latter looked helpless, saying, "I have something important to do today. Why can't I go shopping with you tomorrow instead?"

Avril knew how busy Bonnie was, so the former rarely asked her friend to shop with her. However, Avrill was desperate to go out that day and believed she could convince Bonnie to tag along.

Avril shook Bonnie's arm and said coquettishly, "Come one, Bonnie! Can't you make time for me? I want you to come shopping with me!"

The latter held Avril's hand and sighed. "Ivor's grandad invited us for dinner at his place tonight, and I can't miss it. You, of all people, should know why."

Avril looked at her understandingly and said, "Well, that is important. Fine, you should go. I guess we can shop some other day."

She wanted Bonnie to help pick a dress for the latter's wedding, which was in two weeks. However, Bonnie simply did not have the time for it.

 

Chapter 910

Bonnie had something to tell Avril, but the former saw Ivor's car approaching from afar before stopping at the roadside.

Avril saw it, too. She said, "Ivor's here. You should go now, Bonnie. I'll head home."

A hint of helplessness flashed across Bonnie's eyes as she watched her friend run off. At that moment, the former did not know what else to say and turned to approach the Maybach. When she opened the car door, she saw how formal Ivor's attire was.

Ivor wore a black suit that was subtle yet elegant. He also wore a gold brooch, looking like a mysterious nobleman.

Bonnie stared at him in a daze before teasing him, "Why didn't you tell me we're supposed to dress formally for tonight's dinner? Look at what I'm wearing. Don't you think it's inappropriate for me to wear such casual clothes?"

"I met with an important business partner before coming to get you. That's why I'm wearing this. It has nothing to do with tonight's dinner." Ivor patted the seat beside him. "Come on, get in."

Bonnie giggled. "Oh, that's what it is. I thought you were wearing this formal attire for dinner."

She sat beside him and yawned. Then, she said, "I listed everything I wanted to buy for Grandpa when I was in class. We just have to follow the list once we're at the mall."

"All right," Ivor responded and clasped her hand. "I'm a little worn out today, so I'll nap on the way. Wake me up when we're at Grandpa's house."

Bonnie mimicked him and offered her shoulder. "Lean on me. You'll sleep better."

Ivor did so and grinned. "Thanks."

About two hours later, the Maybach pulled over by Sigmund's villa gate. Ivor was still asleep, and Bonnie noticed his exhausted eyes. She could not bear to wake him up.

'Hmm, since it's not time for dinner yet, I'll let him sleep a little longer.'

Floyd asked hushedly, "Ms. Bonnie, should I leave the car here and wait for you and Mr. Ivor?"

"Sure, you can go ahead, Floyd."

When he left, Bonnie stared at the sleeping Ivor and thought, 'I'm impressed with his flawless skin. It looks soft to touch, too.'

With that in mind, Bonnie felt his cheek. Indeed, her suspicions were accurate. As she was about to withdraw her hand, Ivor held it tightly. Simultaneously, the back of her hand felt a little wet. Chapter

Bonnie was stunned as she raised her gaze to look at him, only to find out he had woken up when she was not looking. Ivor stared at her while holding her hand. Bonnie recalled the wet sensation and glanced at his lips.

She blushed as she withdrew her hand. Then, she turned and cleared her throat to avoid the awkward situation.
