Chapter 70
“Okay.” Bonnie didn’t resist and let Ivor lead her away.
Halle and Rowena’s faces went from shocked to disbelief, all the way to denial. It was a sight to see.
“What on earth happened, Halle? Has Ivor really fallen for her? What should I do if that really is
true?” Rowena wa
upset. She looked like she was about to burst into tears.
‘Stop it. Ivor has taste. There was no way he’d fall in love with Bonnie.”
“You say that, but he bought her an expensive dress. How do we explain that?”
‘Maybe he just wanted to preserve the honor of his branch of the family.”
“Well… He held her hand too. He’s never held any woman’s hands, not even mine. How do we explain
that?”
Halle scratched her head. She didn’t have an answer for that. In fact, she would love to know.
When Bonnie and Ivor had walked far enough away from Halle and Rowena, she said, “Thanks for that.” She raised her glass. Ivor lightly clinked her glass with his. “That was my duty. No thanks are
necessary.
“Although…” She frowned slightly.
“What is it?”
She turned her head to look at Rowena, who wasn’t that far away. Then, she shot a deliberate gaze at him. “She seems to really like you. Haven’t you just squandered your chance at a romantic relationship?”
His lips curled into a smile. “Listen to yourself. Are you jealous?”
“I’m many things, but I’m not jealous.”
Ivor had been a little happy, but he looked glum after he heard what she said.
Halle and Rowena were cooking up a plan to teach Bonnie a lesson. They were trying to find a way to
humiliate her.
They approached Bonnie again. Halle raised her voice so she could attract some attention to themselves. “You once told me that you were good at flower arranging, Bonnie. What a coincidence.. Rowena’s good at it too. Maybe you two should have a competition. It doesn’t matter who wins. It’ll just add something fun to the party. What do you think?”
Ivor leaned closer to Bonnie and whispered, “Do you know your way around flower arranging?” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“I know enough to get by, but I’ve never told them that.”
Suddenly, it hit Ivor. They were doing this on purpose.
“Hey, Bonnie! Why aren’t you answering me? Are you going to chicken out? Like I said, it doesn’t matter who wins. It’s just a game. Are you going to disrespect us by turning us down? Or do you just think you’re too good for Rowena?”
The other guests heard the commotion and cast strange glances at Bonnie. They began to murmur.
Ivor squinted at the pushy Halle. As he started to say something, Bonnie stepped up.
“Let’s do it, but we’ll need to have some stakes. Otherwise, it’ll be a waste of time.”
“Sure. What’s on your mind?”
