Ivor raised his eyebrow, turned around, and glanced at Floyd.
“Why else? The 1.6 billion is important, but nothing is as important to me as my wife is, not even money.”
Floyd’s lips twitched in response. “I’m getting a sharp feeling that you’re completely blinded by love, Mr. Ivor.”
‘Come to think of it, Ivor used to be like this, too. It’s just that he still cared enough to mask it and make it less obvious. Now that he’s married to Bonnie, he no longer cares about it and lets it show.’
“Blinded by love? What do you mean?” Ivor looked confused.
He had probably never heard about this phrase.
“It means all you care about is your romantic partner and your relationship with her. You care about it so much that you’d risk everything because you’ve lost your good sense.”
Actually, Floyd gave him a rather reserved explanation.
Although Ivor wasn’t as bad as what he had described, the former was getting dangerously close to it.
On the other hand, Ivor openly admitted it.
“I think you’re onto something. After all, I am willing to give up everything for Bonnie, even if it means losing my good sense.”
Floyd’s lips twitched aggressively in response.
‘Actually, Ivor and Bonnie loved each other deeply. Both of them worked on the relationship very hard, too. Moreover, she’s very reliable, kindhearted, and incredible. So, I guess it’s fine that he’s blinded by love.’
Realizing that Floyd didn’t intend to continue the topic, Ivor started walking outside.
“You said it feels like your ears are burning. Isn’t that because Ivor misses you and keeps wondering about you? What else could it be?” Collin voiced his thoughts.
At first, she was stunned. Then, she came to her senses, and her lips curled into a grin.
“I think you’re right. He misses me.”
“What do you mean? He surely misses you.” Collin gave her a playful look. “I think I don’t need to have dinner tonight. I’ve lost my appetite, looking at the two of you.”
She rolled her eyes at him, exasperated. “Do you have to be this dramatic?”
“Do you want to look in the mirror and see for yourself how your lips are constantly curling up?” He shook his head as if he couldn’t look at her anymore.
