I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 1448

Ivor naturally wouldn't quarrel with Yasmine. But recalling Yasmine's infatuation with Bonnie, he couldn't help feeling a hint of jealousy.

"Promise me, next time you see her, don't show too much intimacy."

Bonnie cast a sidelong glance at him.

"I haven't asked you yet. Why does it seem like you're more lenient towards Yasmine than others? Now you're turning the question back on me?"

Ivor was momentarily stunned, then let out an almost imperceptible sigh. "This is a long story."

Bonnie knew there was more to this when she saw Ivor's reaction. A hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes.

"Then you can make it short."

Ivor smiled lightly and then reached out to tap his cheek. "If you want to know, kiss me, and I'll tell you."

Bonnie rolled her eyes speechlessly. "You really know how to take advantage of any situation. You've taken that to a whole new level." Although she said this, she eventually kissed him.

"Can you tell me now?"

Ivor chuckled softly.

"Rare that you're so curious about something and so proactive with me. Alright, I'll tell you."

To Ivor's words, Bonnie responded with nothing but another eye-roll. "You make it sound like such a chore. Fine-"

Ivor was afraid Bonnie would actually get angry, so he leaned over and lightly pecked her lips.

"I was just joking. Don't be mad."

"Not mad."

Bonnie raised an eyebrow at him. "I was joking, too."

Ivor chuckled softly again, then affectionately tousled Bonnie's hair.

"Alright, I know. We're both just joking. So, are you really curious why I'm so lenient towards Yasmine? Let me explain." Bonnie nodded. "Go ahead."

A deep pain crossed Ivor's eyes as he spoke.

Bonnie reached out and gently patted Ivor's shoulder to comfort him, a trace of guilt appearing in her eyes.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked you that out of curiosity."

She had guessed there was more to the story, but she never expected the truth to be like this.

"It's okay. You couldn't have known beforehand, right?" Ivor managed to smile.

"Not only did Yasmine not blame me, but she also constantly comforted me and encouraged me to move on from that darkness, If it weren't for her understanding and forgiveness, I might still be trapped in the shadow of that event."

Bonnie leaned closer, gently hugging Ivor.

"It's okay. Protecting you was supposed to be the duty of your subordinates. You wanted to save him too, but things didn't go as planned. It's not your fault."

Ivor returned the embrace, and the two leaned against each other.

"Some things I understand logically, but whenever I think back to that event, my heart..."

His words trailed off, and he sighed heavily, revealing just how difficult it was for him to accept what had happened.
