I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185

Bonnie had expected Ivor to question her, so she came prepared. “My name’s Fanelli.”

She used Welma’s surname as her alias.

“Care to join me for dinner, Dr. Fanelli?” Ivor extended an invitation.

Bonnie lowered her gaze, knowing he still harbored doubts. In that case, decided to play along. “Since you were kind enough to invite me, I won’t decline.” Soon after, the duo had dinner in a luxurious private room at Jade Horizon Hotel. Ivor even ordered an extravagant feast. He then raised his glass, saying, “Cheers to you, Dr. Fanelli.”

The two sat close to each other, almost touching shoulders. Bonnie felt uncomfortable and scooted over a little, asking, “So, how’s your grandma doing?”

“The doctor is highly skilled and dependable. Grandma should be as good as new in six months.”

“Wow, that’s impressive,” Bonnie replied nonchalantly.

Ivor had been observing Bonnie since he entered the house. Still, the latter’s gaze remained on the TV, showing no emotional fluctuations. Ivor frowned and asked, “When will the team finish building Lenfield Resort?”

“Hamish said they should finish it next month, around the time school starts,” Bonnie replied as she continued to watch TV.

Suddenly, Ivor reached for her shoulder and turned her to face him. His voice carried a hint of pleading, “Can’t you stay here just a little longer?”

Bonnie’s heart softened momentarily, but reason quickly overcame her
