I Love You, Miss Genius

Ivor paused for a moment, then immediately denied it. "Honey, I never said such a thing. Don't go throwing accusations at me."

Bonnie crossed her arms, lips quirked in a half-smile as she looked at Ivor. "You say I'm shy and need to change. Isn't that just a subtle way of telling me you prefer bold and daring women? If that's your type, can introduce you to some. I know quite a few of those."

Though she was smiling, Ivor could still sense the chill in her tone. "Honey, I didn't mean it that way. You misunderstood me."

He quickly looked to Maisie for help, silently urging her to speak up.

Maisie shot Ivor a reproachful glance. She wasn't initially inclined to help him, but for the sake of harmony between him and Bonnie, she stood up and lent a hand. “Bonnie, he's not good with words. Don't take him too seriously."

Seeing Maisie speak up, Bonnie smiled and responded, "I was just teasing him. We often joke like this. Don't take offense."

"Couples bickering is fine, but never take it seriously, lest it damages the relationship," Maisie, being experienced in matters of marriage, advised with concern.

Bonnie nodded. "I understand."

Maisie smiled and nodded back. "That's good."

While they spoke, the butler brought the wedding gift Sigmund had prepared for Bonnie. It was a set of documents kept in a file.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

10 percent of the Knight Group's shares meant millions in dividends. each year without effort. Though Bonnie didn't need the money, she was moved by Sigmund's sincerity. However, since the shares betonged to the Knight family, she didn't want to accept them.

"Grandpa, this gift is too valuable. I'm sorry, but I can't accept it," Bonnie said.

Sigmund stood up, walked over to her, and insisted on transferring the shares to her, not allowing her to refuse. "Since it's from your grandpa, you must accept it. No refusal allowed!" Bonnie pursed her lips, feeling somewhat lost as she held the shares.

She was about to look to Ivor for help in refusing when she heard Sydney's voice.

"Dad, Flynn is your grandson, and he carries the Knight family's blood. He also has 10 percent of the shares. Why should Bonnie, an outsider, have any?"

Sydney already didn't like Bonnie

and wanted to eliminate her from the Knight family. But now, Sigmund was giving Bonnie shares. With that, wouldn't it be even harder to get rid of her in the future?

"Why? Because Bonnie is my granddaughter-in-law!" Sigmund's imposing gaze swept over Sydney.

"I know you're unhappy with my decision, but since I've made up my mind, no one can change it. You don't need to say anything more!" Sydney looked dissatisfied. "Dad, Bonnie-"
