‘I’ve wanted everyone in the villa to refer to Bonnie as my wife for a while now. However, I know she wouldn’t want that. I’ve been suppressing my urges, but she gave me this ring. That means she’ll be bound to me forever.
‘It’s only a matter of time before everyone starts referring to her as my wife. I believe she wouldn’t mind if I get it started now.’
Floyd chuckled and said, “We should’ve been referring to Ms. Bonnie as your wife long ago, Mr. Ivor. Maybe I should tell everyone else in the villa to do the same.”
“Not yet. I want you to start doing it first. I’ll observe Bonnie’s reaction and see how she takes it. If she doesn’t object, you can tell everyone else in the villa to do the same.”
Ivor did not think Bonnie would mind it too much. Still, he wanted to be cautious since it was better to be safe than sorry. She might feel uncomfortable if he botched it. Moreover, Ivor had always been extra careful when it came to Bonnie.
“Understood, sir,” Floyd replied.
Ivor nodded and lowered his head to stare at the ring. “She designed this ring for me, Floyd. Hey, does it remind you of Finley, the international jeweler?”
Floyd checked the ring and said, “It does. Ms. Bonnie could be a fan of Finley, right? That must be why her design is similar to Finley’s. After all, Finley always decides on the current trends in jewelry design. “Many foreign youngsters revere her. Even renowned jewelers try to imitate her. I reckon Ms. Bonnie took inspiration from Finley’s work while designing the ring for you.”
Ivor was initially suspicious of the ring’s origins, but after thinking about Floyd’s words, Ivor decided that his suspicions were wrong.
“It doesn’t matter what style Bonnie adopted when she designed it for me. I love it because it’s a gift from her.”
The day rolled on, and dinner time arrived. Ivor put some food on Bonnie’s plate and ensured no bones were in her branzino. There was even a plate of peeled prawns on the side. Before passing her the dishes, he checked twice to ensure he did not miss out on any bones or skin.
“Here you go, Bonnie.”
She did not turn them away and instead passed Ivor some ribs, saying, “Let’s eat together.”
The adoration in his eyes was unmistakable. “All right, let’s.”
At that moment, the couple looked adorable and loving. Even the housekeepers could not help but smile and internally give their blessings to Ivor and Bonnie.
It just so happened that Sydney visited Ivor’s villa for some business. She was outside the dining room when she saw the couple. She gritted her teeth menacingly.
Meanwhile, Gunnar was behind Sydney and saw her stop. He asked in puzzlement, “What’s wrong?”
“Look for yourself. Bonnie looks proud because Ivor dotes on her. I can’t stand how pleased she looks right now.” She glared at Bonnie as she spoke. The former looked fierce, wishing she could rip Bonnie to shreds.
Gunnar noticed his wife seething with rage and patted her shoulder. He tried to soothe her, “Simmer down. It’s not worth compromising your health over someone so insignificant. Let’s focus on finding ways to drive her and Ivor apart and kick her out of the family.”
As luck would have it, Flynn heard what his father said.
