Chapter 1041
Ivor furrowed his eyebrows when he saw Bonnie switch from video to audio.
“Honey, why didn’t you answer the video call? Don’t you want to see me?”
Bonnie responded with a smile, “You’ve been away from home for so long, do you think I wouldn’t miss you? I was just about to call you, but you beat me to it. Isn’t that telepathy?”
Ever since marrying Ivor, Bonnie’s behavior became much bolder and more straightforward, unlike before when she was more reserved.
Ivor was quite pleased that Bonnie said she missed him. However, looking at the dark screen, her words lacked conviction.
“If you miss me, why not switch on the video to see me? It makes me wonder if you’re just saying that to make me happy, and you don’t actually miss me.” Ads by PubFuture
Bonnie had already prepared an excuse in her mind, so she wasn’t nervous when she heard Ivor’s words. “I’ve been doing some research for a few days and look a bit disheveled. I was worried that seeing me like this might scare you, so I switched to audio. I didn’t expect you to think I didn’t miss you.”
Ivor quickly replied, “I don’t mind. No matter how you look, I like you all the same.”
“You might not mind, but I do. Which girl doesn’t want to show her best self in front of the person she loves?” Bonnie said this to make Ivor happy.
Soon, the man’s hearty laughter came from the other end, clearly showing how pleased he was with Bonnie’s words. “Honey, you’re really becoming… more irresistible.”
Bonnie smiled helplessly at Ivor’s happy voice.
“By the way, why haven’t you called or messaged me for so long? Did you run into some serious problems during your business trip?”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“No, the issues have been mostly resolved. I’ll be back tomorrow, and I’ll give you a big surprise.” Ads by PubFuture
The surprise was still intact because Ivor told Bonnie simply that he would be returning and not that he was arranging a surprise for their one-week wedding anniversary.
“Y-You’re coming back tomorrow?” Bonnie was so shocked by the news that her voice trembled slightly. She was currently in Yale. If Ivor returned tomorrow, could she make it back in time? If not, wouldn’t she be caught?
“What’s wrong? Are you not available tomorrow? If it’s inconvenient, I can adjust my schedule,” Ivor said, thinking Bonnie should be able to find some time even if he returned. But he felt something strange in her tone.
“No, it’s not inconvenient at all. It’s just that my research is at a critical stage, and I didn’t expect you to come back tomorrow. It’s a bit surprising, but if you’re coming back, that’s fine.
“I’ll finish my research early, though it might be a bit late. If you get back earlier, just wait at home for me.
Bonnie said this to buy herself some time. The time from now until tomorrow was very tight, and if she couldn’t make it back in time, she would be in trouble.
“Sure, take your time with your research. I’m okay with that.” Ivor thought it would be good if Bonnie came back a bit late, giving him more time to prepare a romantic surprise.
“Alright, I’ll get back to work. Message me when you arrive tomorrow, and I’ll try to come back as soon as I can.” Bonnie hung up and quickly called Collin back in.
“Collin, check if there are any flights from Yale to Pyralis tonight or tomorrow morning. I need to get back as soon as possible.”
Seeing her urgency, Collin didn’t dare delay and immediately took out his phone to check the flights.
“Ms. Bonnie, it’s the peak travel season. Most flights from Yale to Pyralis are fully booked.” Bonnie furrowed her brows profoundly and asked, “Is there not a single seat left?”
