I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 862

“Um, I’d like to take you somewhere this Friday night. I have something important to tell you,” Andreas sounded timid and uncertain. His grip on his phone tightened involuntarily. He was so nervous that his palms began to sweat, fearing Bonnie would turn him down.

Bonnie thought he was getting themselves into trouble again and turned him down immediately. “I’ll need to take a rain check on that. I’ve been busy lately and am not interested in going out.”

Andreas knew she would disagree if he relied on just words. He used the same tactic again, “You promised you’d be my consort. I was just asking you out, yet you rejected him. Are you sick of me already, Bonnie?”

She helplessly rubbed her brows and sighed. “I’m not sick of you, Andreas. I have no reason to hate you or anything.”

“If that’s the case, why would you reject me?” Andreas sounded sad.

“It’s because I’m busy. I can’t just make time for you,” Bonnie sounded somewhat guilty.

However, she rejected Andreas because of Ivor. She knew her fiance would get jealous if he found out she met with the prince alone. That was why Bonnie could not agree to meet with Andreas.

“You’re that busy, huh? So, you can’t make time for me?”

“I genuinely can’t, Andreas. You can tell me what’s so important on campus, right? You don’t need to ask me out.”

‘I sounded too threatening. It’s like I’m forcing Bonnie to bend to my will, but that was never my intention. It’s just that she has to be at the rose garden when I propose. What’s the point of setting everything up if she refuses to be there?’

With that in mind, Andreas said what he said because he felt forced. Even so, he hoped Bonnie would not hold it against him. He thought he would explain everything once she agreed to his proposal.

“You’re getting increasingly cunning, Andreas. How did you learn to blackmail me through the university radio?” Bonnie did not expect him to react so dramatically to her rejection. She had a hunch about why he asked her out but was unsure about it.

“You’re the one who rejected me over something trivial, Bonnie. Do you think I want this? You forced me,” Andreas said before pressuring Bonnie again.
