Chapter 424
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 424<\/p>\n
Bonnie poked Lawrence’s chest playfully. “Not jealous anymore? Figured it out yourself?”<\/p>\n
Lawrence wasn’t the least bit embarrassed at having his thoughts read. That deep kiss in the bathroom had indeed cleared his mind completely.<\/p>\n
He realized that if Bonnie had ever truly fallen for Aiken, it wouldn’t have mattered what choices the man made. Whether Aiken chose to remain a frontline detective or took a safe desk job, whether he took her skiing or flaked on her entirely, Bonnie would have bravely and firmly given their relationship a real shot.<\/p>\n
She wasn’t the type of woman to prioritize her partner’s career over love.<\/p>\n
The simple truth was that Bonnie had never harbored feelings for anyone else.<\/p>\n
All her bravery, determination, boldness, and decisiveness had been given entirely to him\u2014the man who had once broken her heart.<\/p>\n
So what right did he have to doubt or second-guess her?<\/p>\n
His Candie rarely let her heart be swayed, but she had given it to him completely and without reservation. All he needed to do was return that devotion a thousandfold.<\/p>\n
Lawrence pressed a tender kiss to her forehead. “Candie, I was being petty again.”<\/p>\n
Bonnie let out a muffled laugh, sliding her arms around his neck to tease him. “I’m used to it, you jealous jerk.”<\/p>\n
He accepted the title without a fight.<\/p>\n
Knowing he had finally worked through his insecurities, she didn’t bother explaining any further. She just shifted into a comfortable spot against him and drifted off to sleep.<\/p>\n
Lawrence whispered a soft good afternoon, his heart finally entirely at peace.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Shortly after the holidays, Bonnie and Yvonne Walker’s Zoo Architectural Studio officially opened its doors. The social media accounts they managed together were also gaining serious traction.<\/p>\n
Their studio wasn’t just taking on urban renewal projects; their scope included small-scale architecture, boutique interior design, graphic design, and project planning.<\/p>\n
Business was steadily expanding.<\/p>\n
Left with no other choice, Lawrence booked a sprawling estate hotel right in Cabinda. By the time he dropped the third proposal on her desk, she was so buried in work she didn’t even read it.<\/p>\n
The second she heard it was local, she gave it a blind green light.<\/p>\n
Which meant that, as of right now, the bride had absolutely no idea what her own wedding venue looked like.<\/p>\n
And May 2nd was only days away.<\/p>\n
With the bride so entirely unbothered, the groom was starting to get a little annoyed. That morning, when they parted ways in the garage to head to work, Lawrence gave her lower lip a sharp little bite.<\/p>\n
He practically ordered her not to be late for her dress fitting.<\/p>\n
He was definitely throwing a minor tantrum. After all, Bonnie hadn’t lifted a finger for the wedding. Booking the venue, picking the diamond rings, sourcing the jewelry, and hand-writing the invitations to all their friends and family\u2014Lawrence had done every single bit of it himself.<\/p>\n
Even for their engagement shoot, he had to remind her endlessly just so she wouldn’t forget the date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1092","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1092","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=1092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
