Chapter 356
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 356<\/p>\n
But Lawrence didn’t have the audacity to beg her to stay quiet, to plead for just a little more mercy.<\/p>\n
All he could do was sit there and take it.<\/p>\n
He was waiting for his sentence.<\/p>\n
He had a gut feeling she was about to tell him to get out of her life.<\/p>\n
Bonnie thought she would feel relieved, but his visceral panic seemed to infect the small space of the car, making the air thick and stifling.<\/p>\n
But she had to say it.<\/p>\n
Fiddling with her phone, she kept her voice soft. “Thank you for everything lately, Lawrence. But starting today, you don’t need to bring me food or drive me around anymore. I can take care of myself…”<\/p>\n
She glanced at his hands on the steering wheel. His knuckles were bone-white from his death grip, the veins popping along his forearms and disappearing beneath the cuffs of his dark shirt.<\/p>\n
She let out a soft sigh, about to continue, but Lawrence forced himself to relax. He swallowed hard, pushing down the bitter lump in his throat.<\/p>\n
He was fighting desperately to play it cool.<\/p>\n
He tried to keep his voice steady. “Right. Got it. If you need anything, call me. We’re… we’re friends. Don’t hesitate to ask. If June needs a ride to the groomer or the vet, let me know.”<\/p>\n
“Oh, and about June’s teeth\u2014I checked with a vet. She can get braces between three and seven months. I promised I’d pay for them, so don’t try to turn me down.”<\/p>\n
Bonnie stayed quiet, unable to find a window to speak.<\/p>\n
Then, as if remembering something trivial, Lawrence forced a chuckle. It was a stiff, agonizing sound.<\/p>\n
Bonnie didn’t know what to say. He was at absolute rock bottom, convinced she was severing ties for good.<\/p>\n
His hands were gripping the wheel, dying inside, yet he fought so hard to keep his composure in front of her.<\/p>\n
He looked more pathetic than June whining by the door in the mornings.<\/p>\n
Truthfully, Bonnie hadn’t planned on giving a dramatic speech anyway.<\/p>\n
After a long pause, she pushed the door open and stepped out. Without looking back, she finally said it: “When you get back from the Southern Coast, let’s have a proper talk.”<\/p>\n
Leaving him to process that, she closed the door and walked toward the studio.<\/p>\n
Behind her, the sleek Maybach sat under the blazing morning sun, the heat practically radiating off the pavement, threatening to melt the man inside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1024","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
