I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 1193

The more Ivor spoke to Collin, the more he found his voice familiar. But for the life of him, he couldn't recall where exactly he had heard it.

Realizing that Collin had successfully answered all of Ivor's questions, Bonnie felt a weight lifted.

She made fun of him. "Is this why you're calling me? I mean, did you call me to chat with me or my new researcher? Should I just give Allen's number to you so you could have some alone time?"

Ivor explained hurriedly, "I called you to chat with you, Bonnie."

"Really?" A hint of mischief flashed in her eyes. "So, why do I feel like you spent more time chatting with Allen?"

"Well, that's because you rarely tell me about what's going on in your life. So, I have to ask other people how you've been doing." Ivor made up a great excuse for him to keep probing around. He was lying with a straight face.

She saw through him, but she didn't put him on the spot.

"Well, you guys don't have to get along so well. The way I see it, you guys are having such a good chat that you've forgotten about me." She deliberately distracted him so he'd forget about probing her altogether. Ivor scoffed. "Listen to yourself, Bonnie. Are you getting jealous? Do you find it distasteful that I'm hitting it off with someone else?"

'What a narcissistic man!' Bonnie rolled her eyes. She might've chastised him internally, but she went along with him and continued the conversation.

"What's there to be jealous about? However, it's been such a long time since we've seen each other. You can't deny that the moment you did call me, you got along with someone else so well..."

She trailed off in silence on purpose and succeeded in making him feel guilty.

'This is the first time in a long time I'm calling her, and yet I interrogated her. I've handled it poorly.'

"I'm sorry, Bonnie. I'm going to stop chatting with Allen, then. Let us have a good chat, instead."

That was when she knew she had successfully diverted the topic. Letting out a sigh of relief internally, she said, "Is this the part where you're trying to soothe me? Shouldn't you have done this earlier?"

He smiled and said, "I'm sorry. It's all my fault."

Bonnie was aware she shouldn't press further, so she dropped the matter and said something else, "How did it go with your collaboration? What time do you think you'll return to Pyralis?"

Ivor's lips curled into a grin as affection filled his eyes. "What's the matter? Are you missing me already?" "Would you please cut it with that crap? Why can't you just answer my question?"NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

'I need to know when he's going back to Pyralis, so I can speed things up with Billy and fly back home before he does.

'With that said, I've been away from Ivor for such a long time now. I do miss him a little. I'd be lying if I said I didn't look forward to wrapping up the stuff about the chip and reuniting with him.

'I'm going to make sure I stay with him for a good chunk of time and make up for the time we've been apart from each other."
