Chapter 223
Bonnie’s eyes widened in surprise. She was about to push him away but felt weaker by the second.
Ivor noticed it, thinking, ‘She would’ve pushed me away under normal circumstances, but not this time. It looks like I didn’t waste my efforts after all.‘
He smiled and kissed Bonnie’s hands gently. His eyes were full of affection as he looked at her.
“How about we get engaged again, Bonnie? This time, we’ll have a big party. I want the whole world to know I’m engaged to you.” His voice was so tender that Bonnie’s heart began to pound. It took her much effort to control her breathing and withdraw her hands.
“Come on. We should head back.”
“Hmm?” Ivor was stunned by this sudden turn of events. He thought he felt something stirred in her

She flashed him a smile, revealing her white teeth. “Get some sleep soon. Perhaps we’ll get engaged in your dream.”
He chuckled helplessly. “Does this mean you’ll say yes to it if we get engaged in a dream?”
‘Is he for real?‘ Bonnie was speechless for a while. With that said, she was in a fine mood.
“Come on. It’s almost midnight. You can’t have dreams if you’re overtired.”
“I guess you’re right.” With that, he held her hands in his.
Lowering her head, she looked at their intertwined hands. However, he spoke before she could say anything. “Just let me hold them. Did you forget that I get cold easily?”
She savored the warmth from his palms but gave him a big eye–roll instead. With that said, she didn’t let go of his hands.
“Is your schedule open on August fourteenth?” He asked.
Raising her head, she asked, “What’s on your mind?”
“I want you to shop with me.”
“You want me to go shopping with you?”
“Mhm. We’ll buy you some new clothes.”
That stopped her in her tracks. She asked Ivor, “Why do you want to buy me new clothes so suddenly?”
Lowering his gaze, he looked at her and responded, “It’s my birthday.”
She was surprised to learn that his birthday was on the fourteenth of August.
“Why are you buying me clothes, then? It’s your birthday. Shouldn’t I have bought you something

“That works. It’s a date, then. You’ll shop with me on August fourteenth.” He said with a smile.
She remained quiet for a while before she said, “Did you just trick me?”
He threw his head back and laughed heartily. He looked so happy that her lips couldn’t help but curl up in a smile.
