“Ahem. It’s late. I'm going to hit the hay.” With that, Bonnie turned and headed for the door.
“I won't give up, Bonnie. Get ready for more attempts.” Ivor watched as Bonnie left.
“Do whatever you want.”
Smiling, he caught up to her and asked, “Does that mean | have a shot?”
“I didn’t say that.”
“You didn’t turndown, either.”
“Fine. I'll do it now-" Bonnie could not finish her sentence because Ivor suddenly pressed a finger on her lips.
“Stop. Lethave this.”
His finger felt slightly rough to the touch, and Bonnie swiped it away. “I don’t like people touching

“Okay. You have my word.” He regarded her joyfully.
Bonnie stared at him and thought this particular promise was hollow. Still, she did not want to waste tmulling
over it.
The following day, she packed her stuff first thing in the morning. Ivor approached her door and asked with a
frown, “Do you have to leave so soon?”
“We agreed that our engagement would last for only a month. I've stayed ten days longer to compensate for the
one day | stayed at my former parents’ place, as you asked.” Bonnie replied while packing the rest of her things
into a suitcase.
“Do you have anywhere to stay if you leave now?” He asked concernedly.
“I'll start looking for one while | stay at a motel.”
“If that’s the case, you should stay here until you find a place. How about it?” “Thanks, but no thanks.” After
packing up, Bonnie carried her suitcase downstairs.
Sigmund then hurried over with a cane and asked, “Are you leaving, Bonnie?”
“Good morning, Grandpa Sigmund. Please don’t try to makestay. | know | owe my life to you, but I've
followed our agreement by getting engaged to your grandson and staying here for a month. That reminds me.
Please call off our engagement.”
Ivor was startled, saying, “I disagree.”
Bonnie turned to look at him and asked, “Are you serious?”
“Dead serious.” Ivor looked so gentlemanly that it was the last thing she expected him to say.

“I'm not forcing you in any way. I'm just asking you to reconsider it.” He could accept Bonnie wanting to leave
but could not bear her calling off the engagement.
“Really? Is that how you do it? | can’t tell because of how pushy you are now.”
“That's enough, you two!” Sigmund said, “Bonnie, we agreed that you could call off the engagement if you two
didn’t fall in love with each other within a month. Ivor has ended up falling for you, which nullifies our
agreement.
“How about you give him another month? If you still don’t have feelings for him, that’s his fault, and I'll stay out
of it.”
Bonnie said solemnly, “I've decided to leave, Grandpa Sigmund. Also, you must call off the engagement today.”
“All right, fine. | know how stubborn you are. No one can change your mind once you've decided something. I'll
call off the engagement now since you insist on leaving ”
