Chapter 343
Bonnie was speechless as she watched Ivor leave. Although she had been “In the toilet” for a minute, he could not wait for her to come out.
The blushing Jordynn leaned closer to Bonnie and asked, “I need a favor from you, Dr. Fanelli,”
‘Jeez, I’m the one who needs help around here.”
“You’re the only one who can help me with it, Doc. My life will end if you don’t give me a hand.”
“That sounds serious. I wonder what it could be.”
“What do you need help with?”
Jordynn glanced at Sebastian and pulled her aside. “Ezequiel Acosta, the family’s third son, is my childhood friend. He’s been clinging to me since childhood, but I never liked that. He has been confessing
his love to me occasionally.
“I’ve turned him down countless times, but he just won’t take no for an answer. He said he’d marry me
one way or the another.”
Bonnie asked, “So, how do I factor into this?”
“Hehe.” Jordynn looked at “Bonnie’s” attractive face and smiled at her swooningly. “I want you to be my
boyfriend to deter Ezequiel.”
Bonnie’s eyes widened as she said, “Sorry, I can’t do that.”
“You’re a man. Of course, you can ‘do‘ it.”
Bonnie did not have a good comeback for that.
Jordynn added, “I’m talking about making it real or anything. I’m just asking you to pretend. That way, Ezequiel will stop bugging me.”
Jordynn thought, ‘It might not be real now, but an act can sometimes turn into reality.”
“Umm, you should find another guy to help you with this. I have somewhere to be now.” Bonnie glanced after Ivor and thought, I know how fast he walks, and he’s probably reaching the restroom any second now and will realize I’m not there. I can’t dilly–dally. I have to go back.”
Bonnie was about to leave, but Jordynn held her arm tightly, saying, “I don’t have time to find another guy. Ezequiel might be annoying, but he’s quite handsome. He won’t give up if I get a random guy to help me.”
“Why don’t you find someone more handsome than him and get it over with? It’s not that hard to find ant attractive guy, right?”
“The problem isn’t finding someone more good–looking than Ezequiel. The Acostas are one of the wealthiest and most prestigious families in Pyralis. Also, his grandfather was a general who led armies into battle in the warring days.
“Ezequiel won’t be intimidated if I find a regular good–looking guy to not like my boyfriend. On the other hand, you’re a renowned miracle doctor whoan reputation in widely known across Arvandor
“You also built your career yourself. Ezequiel will give up bugging me if you pretend to be my boyfriend, Jordynn held Bonnie tighter, fearing she might sprint off
“I don’t get why you refuse to be with him. After all, his family is powerful, he’s handsome, and he’s loyal to vou. For Heaven’s sake, he has loved you since childhood.” Bonnie was puzzled and worried.
“He’s too rugged–looking!” The thought of spending her life with someone like that made Jordynn shudder. She could not accept it.
“I’m sorry, what?” Bonnie was uncharacteristically rude after hearing Jordynn’s baffling excuse.
‘She could’ve said something was wrong with his character or morals, but no. She’s saying he’s too rugged -looking. I just can’t with her.”
“That’s where you differ, Dr. Fanelli. I love guys who look like pretty boys.” Jordynn admired Bonnie’s glowing face and resisted the urge to pinch it.
The latter’s lips twitched as she asked, “Why do I feel you’re mocking me?”
“Why would I do that? I’m complimenting you. You’re so fair that you’re glowing. Although I’m also fair- skinned, yours is far clearer than mine. I’ve met plenty of ladies, but none are fairer than you.” Jordynn
continued to praise “Bonnie.”
*Just how rugged–looking is he? I thought you said he’s attractive.”
“Ruggedness has nothing to do with good looks. He’s the most handsome, rugged man I’ve seen. Still, that’s just not my preference.”
Jordynn held her head, looking as if she was about to fall apart, which piqued Bonnie’s interest. The latter wondered just how rugged Jordynn’s childhood friend looked.
