Chapter 345
Ezequiel stood in Jordynn’s line of sight as the latter watched Bonnie leave. “Are you serious, Jordynn?
You’re in love with him?
“Do you think I’d joke about something like that?” Jordynn asked instead of giving him a straight answer
N–No, you can’t do that. We’re
Jordynn cut him off before he could finish, “We’re just childhood friends, Ezequiel Eve always considered you a close friend. I didn’t want to be so nasty toward you, but you’re annoying sometimes
Itried telling you nicely, but you always said I’m the only one you loved. I had to give you the cold shoulder to make you give up on me
Jordynn sighed heavily, not knowing what else to do. She held his hand and said, “Can’t we just be friends? I liked everything about you until you started confessing your love for me. You’re kind–hearted,
humble, and friendly
You’ve always gotten good grades, and you’re doing exceptionally well at work. You have so many good qualities I can’t bear to lose a friend like you.”
Ezequiel lowered his head and looked at Jordynn’s hands. He was thrilled about her holding his hands but could not accept what she had just said.
“No, I refuse to be just your friend. I want to marry you and have babies with you. I won’t give up. Jordynn. I’ll keep trying to win your heart unless you’re married to someone else.” Ezequiel withdrew his hands and
chased after Bonnie.
Jordynn rubbed her hands together and muttered, “Is he seriously mad at me? Jeez.”
It was the first time he had been so mad at her.
Five minutes later, Ivor shouted into the female restroom, “Bonnie, are you there?! I’ll come in if you don’t
answer me!”
When no one answered, he entered the restroom without hesitation. At that moment, Bonnie arrived and
saw him entering.
Ivor squinted and exited the restroom soon after, muttering. “Where is she?”
Then, he saw Bonnie, still disguised as Fanelli, standing outside the restroom. Ivor asked, “What are your doing here, Dr. Fanelli?”
“Umm…” Before Bonnie could reply, he interjected.
“Are you going to tell me you’ll be using the restroom?” “Ivor looked at “Bonnie” from head to toe. “There
are restrooms near the entrance, Doc. You didn’t have to come this far for a restroom.”
‘Ivor is such an intelligent man. He must’ve guessed something’s amiss and is now questioning me.”

“Jordynn told me there’s a huge orchard in the back. So, I came to check it out before using the restroom.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Bonnie could tell from his tone that he did not buy what she was trying to sell. Ivor asked, “I thought you said you were here for the restroom. What are you waiting for, Doc?”
“I’m about to head in now.”
Ivor kept staring at her.
‘This is tricky. Since I’m disguised as a man, I can’t enter the female restroom, especially not when he’s staring me down.”
Fortunately, the restrooms by the orchard were far from the main part of the house. Hence, almost no one would be using them. When she entered the male restroom, she realized Ivor followed suit.
Ivor continued to probe, “Why are you looking at me like that, Doc? I need to use the restroom, too. Is there something wrong with that?”
“Oh, it’s no problem at all.”
“Well, things just got trickier.”
Suddenly, he grabbed her arm and said, “The urinals are over there. Where are you going?”
