Chapter 419
“Who’s the punk you’re talking about?” Bonnie asked, curious. After all, she rarely saw Ivor react that way.
He replied, “A childhood friend of mine.”
“Why do you look so troubled if he’s your friend?” Bonnie became even more confused, thinking there was more to it than she suspected.
“You have no idea how handsome he is.”
Iremember Ged talking about someone named Thaddeus. Supposedly, he has the same taste in women as Ivor. Also, Ged was confident that Thaddeus had chosen to remain single for a long time because he had yet to meet someone outstanding enough to be his match.‘
Ivor’s phone rang for a long time before he finally answered. Another voice echoed from the phone, “Ivor,
why did it take you so long to answer? Are you still working at this hour?”
Iwas enjoying some time with my lovely fiancee. We were, uh, kissing!” Ivor said matter–of–factly.
Bonnie was about to enter the kitchen when she heard the last part of his sentence. Exasperated, she
stopped and turned to look at him.
“Jeez, I didn’t need to know that.” Thaddeus said, feeling goosebumps, “Ged warned me about this. He
called you a madman who’s overly doting toward his fiancee. I didn’t believe it at first, but now I do.
“Anyway, I’m curious about something. We grew up together, and I know no ordinary woman could have melted that iceberg you call a heart. That’s why I concluded that your fiancee must be an extraordinary
woman with multiple talents.”
Ivor’s expression stiffened as he said, “She’s mine!”
“Hahaha!” Thaddeus burst into laughter. “Judging by your tone, you’re a little insecure and unconfident. It also sounds like Bonnie has yet to give herself fully to you. That means I have a chance with her.”
That’s it! We’re no longer friends,” Ivor retorted firmly
“That just piques my interest even more, Ivor. I wonder how extraordinary she is since you’re trying to hide her from me.” Thaddeus burst into laughter again. “Fine, I’ll stop messing with you.
“Loyalty is something I consider most vital. Also, no woman is more important than my childhood friend. You matter more to me than some chick, Ivor. I’d never take your fiancee from you.”
“I disagree with your sentiment,” vor responded dryly.
“Huh?” Thaddeus was stunned.
Ivor looked at Bonnie, who was busy preparing dinner. He smiled affectionately and said, “I know people say no woman is more important than friendship, but my fiancee is more important to me than my life.”
“Gross.” Thaddeus could not take it anymore. He had to rub his shoulders to get rid of the goosebumps he felt. “It looks like Ged exaggerated your obsession with your fiancee. You’re even crazier than I

thought.”
Ivor chuckled and said, “I think you’d be the same as me when you finally find the love of your life.”
“Who knows, that might just happen.” Thaddeus shrugged. “With that said, I have my eyes set on
someone.”
“Who’s the lucky lady?” Ivor asked, curious.
I don’t know what she looks like, but I know that the chef at Jade Horizon Hotel admires her the most. He also said she’s gorgeous and elegant. Also, her cooking skills are unmatched. Not even he can hold a candle to her.” Thaddeus grew increasingly eager to meet her as he spoke.
He continued, “The chef agreed to help me make something happen with the lady, so it won’t be long before I finally meet her.”
Ivor felt relieved, saying, “Well, I hope you find what you’re looking for.”
‘I don’t care who it is as long as it isn’t Bonnie.”
Simultaneously, Bonnie received a call from the chef at Jade Horizon Hotel. “Are you asking me to come by the hotel tomorrow? How come?”
“W–Well,” the chef stammered, “I–I developed a new recipe and would like you to try it.”
“Is it really about a new recipe, or is there something else?” Bonnie asked, raising her brow.
