Chapter 47
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 47<\/p>\n
Instead, she was crouched outside The Observatory, acting like some petty thief, quietly spying on the life Lawrence and Bonnie shared.<\/p>\n
Hannah\u2019s eyes burned with unshed tears. She pressed her palms gently against her eyelids, trying to ease the ache. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a car turning into the underground garage. She knew that car. It was Abbot\u2019s Mercedes.<\/p>\n
Her lips twitched with the barest hint of a smile. She grabbed her phone and dialed Abbot.<\/p>\n
He picked up almost immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cHannah.\u201d His voice was polite, a little stiff.<\/p>\n
Hannah didn\u2019t bother with niceties. Her voice was icy. \u201cWhere\u2019s Lawrence?\u201d<\/p>\n
For a moment, Abbot said nothing, the automated parking system\u2019s voice echoing through his call as he drove in. After a pause, he answered, \u201cHannah, I just arrived at the company garage. Lawrence might already be upstairs in his office. Can I call you back in a minute?\u201d<\/p>\n
Hannah let out a cold laugh. \u201cAbbot, I didn\u2019t know you quit The Lane Group and started working property management at The Observatory…\u201d<\/p>\n
.<\/p>\n
Lawrence\u2019s head throbbed painfully from his hangover.<\/p>\n
But he was wide awake, every thought sharp and clear.<\/p>\n
He slumped on the living room sofa, waiting for Abbot to drop off some fresh clothes. All the while, regret gnawed at him over his reckless behavior the night before.<\/p>\n
He\u2019d totally lost his mind. Maybe he\u2019d just been scared.<\/p>\n
When he saw Bonnie and Felton walking under the same umbrella, their shoulders practically touching as they entered the complex, something inside him snapped. He couldn\u2019t stop himself from intervening, trying to prevent whatever he thought might happen next.<\/p>\n
Instead, he\u2019d only made things worse.<\/p>\n
Now Bonnie probably hated him more than ever.<\/p>\n
With a heavy sigh, Lawrence sat up. Empty bottles littered the coffee table and were scattered around his feet. He buried his head in his hands, the ache in his heart mixing with the nausea from last night\u2019s drinks, making it impossible to stand.<\/p>\n
Little by little, Bonnie grew more comfortable with him. She became braver, too. On Lawrence\u2019s birthday, she showed up in a stunning little dress, elegant and sexy all at once.<\/p>\n
Usually so cool and reserved, Bonnie\u2019s eyes sparkled as she smiled up at him. She practically jumped into his arms, her cheeks flushed red as she slipped a box of condoms into his hand.<\/p>\n
That day, from noon until night, they lost themselves in each other. Bonnie bit her lips to muffle her cries as she clung to his neck, her soft lips and tongue never leaving him, her whimpers both tender and full of a kind of sweet complaint.<\/p>\n
Lawrence thought, in those moments, that if Bonnie ever wanted to take his life, he\u2019d gladly give it.<\/p>\n
He just didn\u2019t want her to leave him. That was all he needed.<\/p>\n
Lawrence covered his eyes with his hand, feeling the sting of tears.<\/p>\n
In the end, it wasn\u2019t Bonnie who walked away.<\/p>\n
He was the one who let her go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-715","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/715","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=715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
