Chapter 103

Bonnie did not know how to respond while Jim took the coat from her, pouted, and drove off. It was not the first time Bonnie had put on a man’s coat, but the warmth from Ivor’s coat felt different. Before she could identify this unusual feeling, Ivor grabbed her hand and said, “Can I ask you something?” “What is it?” Bonnie frowned, thinking he must have seen through her act earlier. Although Ivor was quiet for a moment, he seemed unwilling to let her hand go. He stared into her eyes and asked solemnly, “Have you ever fallen in love with anyone?” Bonnie was stunned. She thought he was about to ask about Jim or her real identity as the nation’s leading researcher. She asked, “What made you ask me that?” “You have to answer me first since I was the one who asked first.” “What kind of love are you talking about?” Bonnie was no fool and knew what he meant, but she could not resist questioning him. “I mean the kind of love that compels you to be with Jim,” Ivor responded profoundly.
