Bonnie’s heart skipped a beat. “Probably not.”‘Well, I have to say that that would be something Ivor would do. So, I can’t be sure about it.'”What are we going to do if he takes a flight back to Pyralis, but you’re not there?” Collin was pacing back and forth, anxious on his chief’s behalf. “You’re behind enemy lines right now. There’s no way you could fly back home now!”No excuses would work if you’re not even in Pyralis! Gosh. What are we going to do?” He was so anxious that he was scratching his ears and cheeks.”Calm down, Collin. I’ll think of something.” Bonnie rubbed her brow. She was having a headache.”I-Is there any way around it, though?” He scratched his head, but he couldn’t think of any solution to this predicament.”I’ll just tell him the truth if it comes down to it!”‘I kept this a secret from Ivor because this identity of mine is involved with international organizations, with complicated internal structures. So, I didn’t want to drag him into it, thereby putting him in danger. I’ll tell him the truth if I really don’t have a choice.’ Ads by PubFuture
“I don’t think it’s a good idea to tell him the truth…”All of a sudden, Collin’s eyes widened.

What’s the matter? Toby told methat you’re very anxious to talk to me on the phone. Did somethinghappen with your work trip?”‘If Ivor answered the call, it means that he didn’t take a flight back to Pyralis, as both Collin and I presumed. However, this call made me realize something. Ads by PubFuture
‘He might’ve gone on a work trip overseas, but he’s far closer to Pyralis than I am. After all, I’m in Yale. He could always take a flight back home anytime he wanted.’I can’t afford to keep this under wraps for long. If I don’t retrieve the chip as soon as possible, Ivor might find out about it.'”So, you do know I’m anxious to talk to you. Why didn’t you answer, then?” Ivor’s tone was thick with helplessness.She pretended to respond solemnly,”You do know that I’m working on a huge project. I intend to finish what started, and I dislike it when people interrupt me, especially when it comes to my research. All it takes is to be distracted for a second, and I might make a mistake.” “Aren’t you worried that I’m calling you because something bad happened to me?”He might’ve known what she was like, but that didn’t change the fact that he was slightly dissatisfied. After all, Bonnie valued her research more than her husband.His displeasure intensified when he thought about how she didn’t answer his call, even though they hadn’t met each other for a long time.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org – All rights reserved.Bonnie could tell he was feeling helpless. So, she soothed him. “I know your capabilities well. On top of that, you care a lot about me. So, I’m certain you won’t let anything happen to yourself.””Remember what you said? Youwould practically be giving me away if you let anything happen to you. I’ve taken this to heart. That’s why I’m not at all worried about you letting yourself get hurt.” What she said had pleased Ivor greatly. He couldn’t have stopped his lips from curling into a grin, even if he tried.
