“Then it’s yours, okay?”
Maisie managed to put the bracelet on her wrist.
“It looks good on you, doesn’t it?”
Bonnie smiled.
Ivor felt a mix of emotions as he saw his mother and Bonnie being so friendly.
“It’s getting late. Let’s get the party started.” Maisie took Bonnie’s hand and led her to the car while continuing their conversation affectionately.
Ged walked behind Ivor and patted his shoulder silently.
Ivor shot him a glance and slapped his hand away before going after them.
After the engagement party ended, Bonnie stayed at the Knight Residence.
She had promised Sigmund she would live with them for a month.
After dinner, Ivor brought Bonnie to the second floor.
“This is your room.”
“Okay, thanks,” said Bonnie politely.
Ivor said dryly, “I’m just doing what my grandpa told me to. Besides, you’re a guest.”
Bonnie knew Ivor was trying to tell her to mind her boundaries.
“I’ll be staying in the room next to yours as he wanted. You shouldn’t enter it without my permission, and I won’t go in your room either,” Ivor continued.
Bonnie said, “Don’t worry, I won’t go to your room. I’ll never fall for you either.”
“Good.”
They went to their rooms.
The next morning, Bonnie received a text message from Heath.
“The Knight is waiting for you at the private club. What’s your ETA?”
Bonnie yawned. “I’ll be right there.”
“You were sleeping, weren’t you?”
“I was exhausted, so I overslept. I’ll go as soon as I wash up, okay?”
“I’ll drive you.”
“You’re going too?” Bonnie asked. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“You bet your ass 1 am!” Heath sounded excited. “This is the ultimate game between two of the greatest chess players of all time. I wouldn’t miss it for the world!”
In a private room of the club, Ivor could hardly contain his excitement.
Ged walked in and saw Ivor looking at the door, but he looked disappointed when he saw that it was just Ged
“You thought I was the Shepherd, huh?”
“Why isn’t he here yet?” Ivor looked anxious despite himself.
He had always been poker–faced, but he loved chess too much.
“She’s on the way.” Ged sat down.
“Who do you think is more likely to win, Ivor? You or the Shepherd?”
“It’s hard to say.”
Suddenly, they heard footsteps, and the sound of the door being pushed open.
Ivor and Ged looked at the door.
The door to the private room opened, and Bonnie walked in!
