Chapter 233
“Mom, Dad, I heard Bonnie has a secret lover. Still, I don’t know whether or not it’s true. We can hire someone to follow her. If the rumor turns out to be true, we can catch them in the act and then inform Mr. Hamish.
“We can show him Bonnie’s true colors. She won’t be so arrogant then. Mr. Hamish won’t continue oppressing us once he sees that.”
Dermot and Nia lit up. One of them asked, “Is the source trustworthy?”
“A friend of mine told me about it. Bonnie’s classmate is spreading the word. There must be some truth to it, right? That’s why I suggested tracking Bonnie and contacting some of her classmates. We’ll find out the truth sooner or later.”
“At this point, it seems like the only thing we can do.”
Since Ivor’s birthday was on the fourteenth of August, Bonnie took a leave of absence from all her work to accompany him to the mall. Ivor brought her to a women’s clothing store, picked up a dress, and held it against her, saying, “This one suits you.
He then placed a pair of shoes near Bonnie’s feet and said. “These shoes will go perfectly with that dress. We’ll pick a suitable bag and some jewelry to complete the look later.‘
))
He pictured how Bonnie would look after dressing up. Looking at Ivor bustling around, she said, Today’s your birthday, not mine. I’m supposed to buy you gifts. Why are you buying me things instead?”
((
Ivor smiled. “What’s the difference? Whether it’s your birthday or mine, I want to be with you and make you the happiest person in the world.”
His words touched Bonnie, but she suppressed her emotions, saying, “I didn’t expect you to be such a
smooth talker.”
“That’s where you’re wrong. That wasn’t smooth talk. It was just the truth.” Ivor looked at Bonnie indulgently.
“Whatever.” Bonnie could not bear his gaze, so she avoided it and went to the other side of the store.
Ivor smirked and then picked out a few more clothes to compare them to Bonnie.
“All right, let’s go.” Bonnie pulled his hand away. “I’ll take you to the men’s clothing store across the street. Since it’s your birthday, you can pick whatever you want.”
Ivor felt good when Bonnie held his hand. “You can help me pick a gift. I’ll pay for it.”
Bonnie glanced at him disdainfully. “So, you think I can’t afford to buy you a gift?”
Ivor knew he had hurt her pride and quickly explained, “Th–that’s not what I meant. It’s just that
things in this mall are expensive, and you’re still a student. I feel bad experting you to pay for me.”
After leading Ivor to the men’s clothing store, Bonnie released his hand and said, “Don’t worry about the price, and pick whatever you want. I can afford it.”
Finally, Ivor remembered something. He said, “I forgot about the time you tricked Xavier into giving you so much money.”
Bonnie resisted the urge to roll her eyes again. “What do you mean trick? I told you I outsmarted
him.
“Oh, right. You outsmarted Xavier. Sorry.” Ivor laughed and then looked at the clothes in the store. You can help me choose now.
Bonnie started carefully picking the clothes. She wanted to choose them based on Ivor’s
temperament, but she realized handsome men looked good in anything.
Ivor tried on several sets of clothes she picked, and each one was stunning. Bonnie could not help but mutter, “You’re a male version of a femme fatale.”
“Hmm? What was that?” Ivor suddenly leaned closer to Bonnie.
