Chapter 275
Ivor froze when he saw Jim’s true face. “I–It’s you.”
Jim lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry for keeping this a secret from you for so long.”
“Why would you–” Before Ivor could finish, Jim interjected, “I told you Bonnie saved my life. I came here to keep her safe with Ms. Bonita’s say–so.”
Jim purposefully phrased it that way as he knew about Ivor’s suspicions. Ultimately, the former decided to nip it in the bud.
Bonnie looked at Jim, hinting that he did an excellent job. The latter nodded with humor in his eyes. Of course, he had a perfect response up his sleeve. After all, he had some time to kill in the bathroom.
Although Bonnie and Jim exchanged looks in front of the other two, they were subtle. It was a synergy the two had cultivated throughout the years.
Ivor looked at Bonnie and apologized, “I’m sorry for misunderstanding the situation.”
“I can’t blame you. I would’ve told you about Jim earlier, but I couldn’t afford to expose his real identity. There would have been consequences if I did.” Bonnie would be lying if she said she did not feel guilty when speaking.
She added, “Hmmm, how should I put it? It’s my fault for not coming clean sooner. I’m genuinely sorry about that. How about I take you to karaoke tomorrow? I’ll reserve a private room.”
Ivor gleamed with excitement. ‘A private room for just two of us?”
He nodded, saying, “Sure. Grandpa said he’d host a farewell party for you tomorrow afternoon. We can go for karaoke at night.”
“All right.” Bonnie nodded.
Almost everyone from the Knight family attended the farewell party the following day. Sigmund looked around and frowned, asking, “Willard, where’s your fourth brother?”
Willard put down his fork and knife before replying, “I just texted him this morning. He said he’d be back after wrapping up his filming.”
Bonnie heard the exchange and felt mildly surprised. She leaned over to Ivor and
whispered, “Is your fourth uncle an actor?”
Although she had been engaged to Ivor for some time, she had never met his fourth
unde
Ivor anwered, “That uncle of mine made his debut long ago. It just so happened that he flew overseas to shoot a film before we got engaged. That’s why you’ve never met him
“Oh, that makes sense ”
Ivor soddenly added, “Perhaps it’s a good thing you’ve never met him.”
“What do you mean?” Bonnie was bewildered.
hvor frowned. “My fourth uncle is too handsome for his own good.
Bonnie was speechless. She never imagined that would be the reason. It turned out Ivor was even capable of getting jealous of his uncle. She said, “I have no idea who he is or how he looks. There’s nothing to be jealous abor
A moment later, she received a text from one of her friends, Orphicus. “Hey, Borwick, I’l return to Pyralis in a few days. How about we meet up for a drink?
Bonnie repland, “Are you finished filming?”
*Yeah, we just wrapped up a minute ago.”
“You should meet up with your family first.
“I’m not as close to them as I am with you. It’s settled, then. I’ll see you in a bar in a few days, Bornwick
After some thought, the replied, “That’s Saturday, right? It’ll work for me
Suddenly, Ivor asked, displeased, “Who are you texting?”
“Oh, just a friend “She tucked away her phone. Then, she saw Ivor’s expression and gursued what he was about to ask her.
