Chapter 1018
Ivor was about to say something when he smelled a fresh and delicate fragrance. The scent caused a strange flutter in his heart and reminded him of his wife. He had noticed it earlier but thought it was just his imagination.
However, the clarity of the scent now made it impossible to dismiss as a mere suspicion.
His gaze toward the Nidhoggs’ leader grew increasingly profound and mysterious. It was like he wanted to see through her exterior. Ads by PubFuture
Bonnie sensed his unusual stare but did not understand it. To diffuse the awkwardness, she took a light- hearted approach. She crossed her arms and teased, “Are you staring at me because you’re interested? “Although I can’t see your face, I can tell you’re not bad-looking from your build and demeanor. Still, I’m a man and don’t swing that way. Forced love is not sweet, so don’t get any ideas.”
“Are you sure you’re a man?” Ivor got closer.
Bonnie raised her brows, wondering if the Dark Knights’ leader could see through her disguise. Despite her thoughts, she remained calm and looked at him teasingly.
“You can see my gender for yourself, but remember that we’re partners. Digging too deep into my business won’t benefit you. I advise you to stop while you’re ahead and not do anything out of line.” Although she was smiling, her tone carried a subtle warning.
“Just chatting doesn’t seem out of line to me,” Ivor replied, though he backed off.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content. Ads by PubFuture
He understood that their relationship was solely for cooperation and mutual interests. Ivor’s suspicions about her scent were too far-fetched to act on without concrete evidence.
Bonnie knew he understood her warning when he backed off. She said nothing more about it. Instead, she checked their surroundings to find a way to escape.
Suddenly, Ivor had an idea as he followed her gaze. “How about you step on my shoulders and try to climb up? Once you’re up, you can find something to help pull me out.”
After some thought, Bonnie gauged the height and nodded. “Yeah, we can try that. Bend down, and I’ll see if I can reach the top.”
“All right,” Ivor said as he lowered himself.
When Bonnie stepped on his shoulders, he noticed how light the Nidhoggs’ leader was. Though Bonnie had a small frame and looked delicate, she did not weigh nearly as much as an average adult male.
Ivor’s suspicions grew stronger, and he was now sixty to seventy percent sure the Nidhoggs’ leader was a
woman.
