Chapter 1399
By the time Ivor woke up again, he realized that Bonnie maintained the same pose from before he fell asleep. She wanted him to lean on her comfortably.
He couldn't help but feel a little heartache. "I leaned on you for such a long time, and you didn't move at all. Is your shoulder sore, Bonnie?"
'I might've had a good sleep, but it must've been tiring for her. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done that just because it felt comfortable.'
"It's okay. It's not a big deal." Bonnie moved her shoulder and spoke in a relaxed tone.
'Actually, my shoulder feels a little stiff and numb. After Ivor took a short nap, however, he's not as tired as he was before. It's very much worth it to have a sore and numb shoulder.
'Between the two of us, Ivor has always been the one who sacrificed more. So, I'm thrilled that I can help him get rested.'
"Are you sure you're fine? Do you need me to massage your shoulder?" Ivor asked warmly.
'I know how much I weigh. How could she be fine after I leaned on her for so long? I know Bonnie is just saying that she's okay because she didn't want me to feel guilty.'
"I'm fine, really." Bonnie soothed him by patting his hand.
Then, she caught the scent of food from the kitchen. She pulled Ivor up from the couch and stood up.
"Something from the kitchen smells so nice that I think my stomach is growling. Let's hurry over and take a look."
Ivor's stomach growled.
Bonnie was stunned when she heard the noise. Then, she couldn't help but giggle.
"Here I am, saying that I'm hungry. I didn't know your stomach would be this cooperative. It made a sound that my stomach would definitely have made."
A hint of uncharacteristic embarrassment flashed in Ivor's eyes.
"Ahem... I came back to Pyralis in a rush. So, I didn't have time to eat anything. I've been powering through the hunger until this moment. Now, I really can't stand it anymore."
Bonnie kept smiling and said, "Well,
then. What are you waiting for? Come to the kitchen with me, and we'll see if they're done preparing dinner."
Ivor looked at the smile on her face, and his eyes couldn't help but get hazy for a second.
"Look at your smile, Bonnie..."Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"Huh?"
Bonnie thought he looked a little strange. She couldn't help but raise her hand and touch her cheeks. "Does my smile look odd?"
"That's not it." Ivor shook his head and stole a kiss on her cheeks before she realized what happened. "It's gorgeous."
Bonnie moved her elbow. She intended to push him away.
To her surprise, Ivor anticipated her and ducked away first. At e time, he changed the
the
topic.
"Let's see if they're done preparing dinner, Bonnie. I'm starving."
Bonnie knew he was changing the topic on purpose. So, she shook her head helplessly.
"Okay. Let's go."
Both of them came to the dining hall and saw that the dishes had occupied the entire dining table.
Sigmund noticed them walking over and filled their glasses of wine to the brim.
"This is a vintage wine. I've tucked it. away for a long time. I've never had
the heart to drink it. Now that you are back home, it gives me a chance to have a taste of it with you."
