Chapter 375
‘Is Bonnie in the car? Then, there’s no doubt that she knows Jim well.‘
Thud!
Trystan suddenly knelt before Jim, saying, “Master Jim, please have mercy on me. I didn’t know she was your girlfriend!”
Bonnie’s lips twitched when she heard that. Jim responded indifferently, “She’s not my girlfriend.”
Trystan smacked himself when he realized Jim was still upset. The former said, “I was stupid to think she was your girlfriend, sir. Obviously, she’s your wife. Please forgive me!”
Before Jim could respond, a much more charming and profound voice echoed, “She’s my fiancee.”
Bonnie lowered her window and peeked around the surroundings. As expected, he was there. Meanwhile, Trystan looked at Ivor and noticed how imposing and menacing the latter was. Although he might not know who Ivor was, he could guess how powerful Ivor was.
Trystan almost cried. He would not have challenged Ged’s boxing gym if he knew this would happen. With that, he would not have offended these big honchos.
Bonnie finally exited the car and glanced at Ivor, who was wearing a coat. Then, she looked at Jim, thinking, ‘God, help me. Here we go again.‘
Ivor’s expression grew colder when he realized Bonnie did not care to explain anything. He said, “It seems you and Jim are extremely close.”
Bonnie nodded and said, “You’re right. We’re super close. He’s more like my best friend.”
She was so straightforward that Ivor did not know how else to vent his jealousy. Hence, he asked Jim, “When will you finish repaying your debt to her, Master Jim? Since Ms. Bonita is the most crucial person in Arvandor, you should be around her 24/7.
“The nation will suffer a substantial loss if something happens to Ms. Bonita.”
Jim chuckled and changed the topic, “Are you going to handle them, or should I?”
Ivor tried to assert his dominance by saying, “I’ll do it since you need to prioritize Ms. Bonita’s safety. I’ll do my job and protect Bonnie.”
“If that’s the case, I’ll back off and let you be the knight in shining armor.” With that, Jim entered his car and drove off.
Chapter 375
고
Ivor looked at Floys and said, “I’ll leave them to you.”
“Understood, Mr. Ivor.”
When Bonnie entered Ivor’s car, she heard several gut–wrenching screams in the alley. Each scream sounded more desperate than the last. Soon after, she heard Ivor’s stomach. growling. She looked at him and noticed how pale he was.
Bonnie asked, “You didn’t eat anything, did you?”
“I came as soon as I finished work.”
Bonnie knew Ivor had a critical project to work on that day. Otherwise, she would not have asked Jim to pick her up from the hotel.
“You were so busy that you had to skip lunch and dinner? You’re already the richest guy in Pyralis, so your health should matter more than money.”
Ivor was overjoyed to see Bonnie’s concern for him. He said, “I thought you knew I was trying to make more money for my future wife.”
“I don’t need your money. I can make my own.”
Bonnie thought, ‘For that matter, I might just be wealthier than you.‘
Suddenly, Ivor stepped on the brake, bringing the car to a screeching halt. Before Bonnie knew it, he leaned closer. She could feel his warm breath on her cheeks, causing her heart to skip a beat. Still, she did not let it show. “Ivor, what’s gotten into you?”
He grinned and said, “You admitted it just now.”
“What are you talking about?”
Ivor’s affection slowly chipped away at Bonnie’s calmness.
The former answered, “You just admitted to being my future wife.” Finally, Bonnie noticed it.
