Chapter 520
Three Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 520
“Candie,” Lawrence murmured. Seeing the panicked hesitation in her eyes, he let out a soft chuckle. “But regardless of how she reacts, I am completely cutting off all unnecessary contact with her. If we’re forced to be in the same room, she’ll get nothing more than a polite nod. Are you okay with that?”
Bonnie remained silent, shifting uncomfortably on his lap. A heavy layer of hesitation clouded her features.
She had never expected things to escalate to this extreme, and the sudden shift left her entirely off-balance.
Bonnie was terrified that she was about to detonate the Lane family.
The truth was, the dynamic was already shifting. Bonnie only now realized that Lawrence had dropped the title ‘my sister.’ In the past, regardless of the situation, he had staunchly referred to her as his sister. Now, he casually used her first name.
Furthermore, she noticed that his entire demeanor when discussing Hannah had drastically transformed. The irritated, conflicting angst of a man trapped between romance and family loyalty was completely gone. It had been replaced by an icy, absolute indifference.
He spoke with the detached serenity of a man who had survived a century of chaos, recounting a story that barely even belonged to him anymore.
Ultimately, nothing explicitly catastrophic had happened yet. Cutting all ties over a few petty squabbles made Bonnie incredibly nervous.
Holding her tight, Lawrence didn’t know how to explain himself. Perhaps for the Hannah of 2016, his unilateral decision to excommunicate her seemed wildly disproportionate. To Hannah and the Lane elders, it would absolutely look like the hot-headed impulse of a twenty-one-year-old. But he wasn’t twenty-one anymore.
His true twenty-one-year-old self might be living out a completely different timeline somewhere in the multiverse. That boy was no longer driving this body.
The man occupying this shell was the Lawrence who had possessed her, lost her to hell, and miraculously fought the universe to win her back.
