    Chapter 412


    “Hey, Mom, what’s up?”


    “Bonnie, what’s happening? I–I heard that Ivor is the wealthiest man in Pyralis!*


    Bonnie nced at Ivor and said, “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner, Mom. I just didn’t want you to


    worry about me. After all, plenty of convoluted stories surround the rich and powerful.”


    “So, you knew I’d be worried,” Welma said, sounding like she was scolding her daughter. Still, she


    was more concerned about Bonnie’s well–being. “Are you two serious about your rtionship?”


    Ivor suddenly took Bonnie’s phone and said, “Mother, Bonnie is more important to me than my life.


    Losing her means losing my will to continue living. Don’t worry about it, Mother. What’s mine is hers,


    and I will dote on her to make her the happiest woman in the world.”


    Anyone else would have sounded cheesy saying that. However, Ivor’s tone carried significance. It


    sounded like he made a solemn oath.

    Bonnie stared at him in a daze. That familiar, inexplicable feeling arose within her again, growing


    increasingly potent.


    Meanwhile, Welma held onto her phone motionlessly. Since her phone was on loudspeaker, Gerald


    heard the whole conversation. The older couple exchanged nces and smiled gratefully.


    Gerald took his wife’s phone and said, “Hey, the summer solstice ising soon. Would you like to


    visit us with Bonnie then?”


    “Sure thing, Father!” Ivor smiled and looked at Bonnie, saying, Father invited us to have dinner with


    them during the summer solstice.”


    “Why are you calling my dad ‘father‘ as if it’s second nature?”


    You have a point. He’s not my dad, but our dad.”


    “Fine, I can’t argue with you now. Let’s just go home and get some sleep.”


    “Whatever you say, honey.”


    As they left the hospital, Bonnie suddenly stopped. Ivor asked, puzzled, “What’s wrong?”


    She frowned and looked around while Ivor asked again, “Did you forget something?”


    “I think someone’s been following us.”


    Ivor grew vignt. He could not afford to take her safety lightly. However, he observed his


    surroundings and saw nothing suspicious.


    Bonnie frowned and said, “Maybe I’m imagining things.”


    “No, that’s not necessarily true. Considering your capability to fight, I believe you have sharper


    senses than ordinary people. Although you could be wrong, it pays to trust your senses,” Ivor said


    as he called


    Floyd, “Send a few more men to keep Bonnie safe. I suspect someone’s following her.”


    Bonnie did not like it when others protected her. She said, “Call It off, Ivor. I just made an honest


    mistake. There are only a few who can hurt me, after all.”


    Ivor knew her very well. After some thought, he said, “Okay, I won’t send people to help you. They


    might Intrude on your personal space. Still, I want you to tell me if you sense danger again.


    “You should take care of yourself. There’s no need to worry about me. If anything goes wrong, I can


    call-” Bonnie stopped abruptly. She wanted to say she could call Jim. However, considering his


    identity, she could not rely on him to immediately react to her distress calls.


    “Who can you call? Ivor squinted with an apparent sense of gloominess in his eyes. “I’m your


    fiance. Why would you call anyone else besides me?”


    ‘He’s just impossible! Is he jealous again?”


    “I just don’t want to keep troubling you.” Bonnie quickly changed the topic, “Our agreement for the


    one- month engagement had expired long ago. You’re no longer my fiance, Ivor.”
