    “You don’t have faith in me. Do you? Just wait. You’ll see.”


    Since Bonnie was not going to tell tvor everything, he decided not to pry for more information.


    “Can you clean yourself up? Your getup upsets me.” He knew it was all fake, but he couldn’t help


    but feel heartbroken at the sight of it.


    “Sure. I’ll hop in the shower now.”


    Ivor waited until she got into the bathroom before looking at Jim, who was about to leave. The


    former addressed Jim and asked, “Hey, why do you seem to care about her very much?”


    Jim calmly responded, “It’s my job to keep her safe. I believe caring about her is part of my job.”


    “You say that, but it looks like she means so much more to you. Did you two know each other before


    you started working here?” Ivor stared at him. The wisdom in his eyes was unmistakable.


    “Nope.”


    “Really?”


    “I solemnly swear that I, Tim Reid, have never known Ms. Bonnie in my life until I got this job! May


    God punish me most severely if I lied through my teeth.”


    ‘I’m not Tim Reid, anyway. That alias didn’t know Bonnie before getting this job. Technically, I’m not


    lying.‘


    Staring at Jim, Ivor said after a brief moment, “Dismissed.”


    “Roger, Mr. Ivor.” Jim turned and left. He sighed in relief when he turned to leave, wondering if he


    had managed to trick Ivor. However, Jim couldn’t shake the feeling that Ivor didn’t wholly buy his


    story. Still, Ivor would not have let Jim leave if he was suspicious.


    Bonnie was taking a shower in the bathroom. So, she didn’t know about what happened between


    Ivor and Jim. Thirty minutes hade and gone by the time she finished showering.


    After drying her hair, she felt exhausted and went to bed to sleep. She then pulled the nket up


    and slipped in. Suddenly, she sat upright and stared at Ivor, who was hiding in her nket. “Wh–


    what are you doing in my nket?!”


    “I’m keeping you safe.” He said matter–of–factly.


    Her lips twitched helplessly. “That won’t be necessary. Thanks for being thoughtful, but it’ste now.


    You should go back to your room.”


    However, Ivor feigned ignorance and continued to sleep in her nket. Honestly, Bonnie felt moved


    by his actions. Even so, she was not about to sleep with him just because he was considerate.


    “Hey, Ivor. If you’re not leaving, I’m going to walk away.”

    “Don’t do that. Fine, I’ll leave.” Pulling the nket off, he sat up,


    ‘Why is he half–naked?‘


    Bonnie saw his bare body and pulled the nket up to cover it. In response, Ivor smiled and asked,


    Are you reluctant to let me leave?”


    Oh, how she wished she could kick him out of the bed. “Why aren’t you wearing any clothes?”


    “What made you think I’m naked? I’m wearing pants. You can see for yourself if you don’t believe


    me.” He moved to lift the nket to show it to her.


    All she knew was that he was naked on the top half of his body. The nket covered the lower half


    of his body. So, she couldn’t be sure if he was wearing anything underneath. Still, she wondered


    what she would do if he weren’t wearing anything.


    ‘Does he want to show me his thingy?‘


    Bonnie was not about to risk it. When she grabbed his hand, he asked, “Are you trying to hold my


    hand? If that’s the case, you could’ve just told me.‘


    The next moment, he cupped her hands. His hands were big and broad, while hers were tender and


    petite. Ivor cupped Bonnie’s hands so tightly that hers disappeared into his. She tried to pull them


    out, but it was futile.


    “Let me go.”


    Not only did he not let go, but he yanked her so that both of them would fall onto the bed together. A


    momentter, he pulled her into his arms.
