Chapter 80
“It’s not that cold. You can put it back on.”
Ivor ignored her and put the suit jacket over Bonnie’s shoulders. His warmth lingered in the suit jacket, and it warmed up not just her body, but her heart as well.
“Thank you for helping me back at the party, but you shouldn’t have said what you said. It was my personal affair and what you said will just lead to a misunderstanding. Everyone probably thinks we’re a real couple now.”
Ivor’s lips curled into a smile and he looked at Bonnie lovingly. “Let them be.”
“Don’t you care?” She raised her
r brow.
“So
what? I think it’s good that they think that.”
Huh? Bonnie’s eyes widened and she proceeded to scan Ivor. She was a smart woman. She could gauge just how truthful he was being.
After a brief pause, she asked, “Do you have a real crush on me?” It was the same question she had asked him before. He had denied it back then..
“Bingo.” He nodded.
He had answered her question so casually that she wasn’t sure if he was being serious. She was still thinking it over when he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
Bonnie was dazed, surprised, and couldn’t believe what just happened. She whipped her head back and saw Ivor meet her gaze firmly, smiling faintly.
After a few seconds, Bonnie abruptly took several steps back.
“Are you serious? Or is this some kind of joke?”

call a cab home.
Ivor realized what she was doing and walked over to grab her hand. He pulled her to his side, gripped.

her shoulder, and said seriously, “I mean it. There are eight days and twenty–two hours left on the clock. Our engagement is ending soon. You’ll know how serious I am by then.”
She scanned him meticulously and decided that she couldn’t read his mind.
“You just love to act all mysterious.”
He could tell she was no longer mad at him, Smiling, he said, “Let’s go home.”
Ivor tracked down Floyd the moment he arrived home.
“Did you do what I asked?”
“They’re working on the engagement ring you reserved. It’ll be ready before your engagement ends. I’ve also finalized setting up the venue.”
“Okay. Well done. You can go.” Ivor could barely wait to get this done. It would be the memory of a
lifetime for Bonnie.
It took him several seconds to realize that Floyd hadn’t left.
“Is there anything else?”
Floyd was still thinking about Tim. He could no longer bear it.
“There’s more to Tim than meets the eye, Mr. Ivor.
