I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 21

They quickly figured out that they were both students of Cary Burns.

“Cary told me you just got back to Pyralis,” Bonnie said.

“He told me he’d taken in one last student, but because I lived abroad all these years, I never had the chance to visit. I didn’t think it was you! He always speaks highly of you, you know.”

“I didn’t think you’d turn out to be my senior either. No wonder you’re so good.”

“Come on, you’re the real genius. Cary is right. You’re a natural.

“You mastered kickboxing even though you’re only 20. You’ve only been training with him for a short time, too.

“All your seniors, including me, had to work hard for a long time, you know?

“To be honest, you’d beat all of us if we were your age.”

As Masie spoke, she smoothed down Bonnie’s hair and dress.

Ivor and others arrived just in time to see it happen.

They gaped, and their eyes widened in disbelief.

“What the hell is going on, mom?” Ivor asked.

Masie held Bonnie’s hand and laughed. “I just sparred with her and discovered that we both learned kickboxing from the same person.”

Ivor was stunned.

“For real?” Ged’s jaw dropped.

The others who had arrived thought they had misheard.

After all, Maisie had learned kickboxing from Cary, the greatest kickboxer in Arvandor. It was a shock

to find that Bonnie was his student too.

mom?” Ivor glanced at Bonnie discreetly.

“Of course, I am! She’s Cary’s last student,” said Maisie with certainty.

Ged felt he had been so wrong about Bonnie. He had always thought that she was a complete loser, but now it seemed that he had seriously underestimated her.

Maisie nudged Bonnie toward Ivor. “Come say hello to my teammate.”

Ivor was exasperated.

Bonnie patted his shoulder.

“I didn’t know you were my senior’s son. Now that I do, I’m going to look out for you.”

Ivor couldn’t take it anymore.

He pushed her hand off his shoulder.

Sigmund hurried over. “Why are you all talking about kickboxing? You’re getting engaged today!”

He took a deep breath and looked at Maisie. “Will you still object to their marriage?”

Masie turned to hold Bonnie’s hand again. “To be honest, my son isn’t good enough for you. As your senior, I think you should say no to the engagement.“”

Ivor was speechless. Ged tried hard not to laugh.

“However,” Maisie continued, “as Ivor’s mom, I wish you would say yes.”

Bonnie smiled. “I’ve made a deal with Sigmund. If Ivor and I still don’t like each other in one month, we’ll go our separate ways.

“I see.”

Maisie didn’t know about that.

“Oh, Ivor’s grandma gave this to me. I want you to have it.”

Masie removed her bracelet and tried to put it on Bonnie’s wrist.

“Woah, this is too much!”

“Come on. It’s a gift.”

“But-

“What? Don’t you like it?”

“I do!”
