Chapter 407
“What else will she do after marrying into our family? I won’t just take in a freeloader.”
“Mom, I love her and refuse to marry anyone else!” Tanum roared.

Meanwhile, Ivor stared at his documents in his office, unable to stop thinking about Bonnie.
Ged said, “You’ve been staring at that document for over an hour. I know what you’re thinking, but please take my advice. You must be patient if you want things to go smoothly between you and Bonnie.”
Ivor put down the document and said, “I haven’t texted or called her for several days, but it
feels like centuries.”
At that moment, a panicked Floyd knocked on the door and entered. “I just got a call from Mr. Flynn. He told me Ms. Bonnie has just-”
Before he could finish, Ged said, “Hush! Don’t say anything about Bonnie. Ivor can’t afford to listen to anything about her now.”
“B–But-”
“Nope! You’ll ruin my plans if you continue. Then, you’ll ruin Ivor’s one shot at a lifetime of happiness.” Ged shoved Floyd out of the office.
“Um-”
“I said quiet!”
“Wait a minute-”
“Get out!”
Floyd’s eyes widened when he realized Ged was pushing him out of the office. The former grabbed the door and yelled, “Mr. Ivor! Ms. Bonnie is on a blind date!”
Ivor bolted from his seat while Ged stopped pushing Floyd. Ged said embarrassedly, “Ahem. That’s vital news. Why didn’t you say that earlier?”
Floyd glanced at Ged sidelong while the latter feigned ignorance.
Ivor pursed his lips and asked coldly, “What happened?”
Floyd could not afford to waste time on Ged and quickly explained, “Mr. Flynn called me

earlier. He went to Zephyr Cafe and saw Ms. Bonnie on a blind date with the owner’s son. He said they sounded like they were talking about getting married.”
“What?! Did Bonnie agree to marry the guy?!” Ivor’s demeanor sent shivers down Ged and Floyd’s spines.
Floyd gulped and added, “That’s what Mr. Flynn told me. He saw Bonnie and the guy smiling, which indicated that the blind date was going well. Also, he said the guy had proclaimed his love for Ms. Bonnie.”
After a moment of deadly silence, Ivor left the office, not bothering to take his jacket.
Floyd thought about the upcoming appointment and shouted after his boss, “Mr. Ivor! The CEO of Zenith Innovations is on his way. You’re supposed to handle collaboration details collaboration.”
Ivor continued walking as he said, “You can handle it.”
“Huh? Are you sure? I’m just an assistant. I don’t think he will be too pleased about it,” Floyd said miserably.
“Then, let Ged handle it. You’ll back him up.” With that, Ivor disappeared around the corner.
Floyd looked at Ged, who smacked himself on the forehead, saying, “I think I owe him one. After all, I told him to follow my plan. Fine, I’ll do it.”
