Chapter 63
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 63<\/p>\n
Bonnie squeezed in time after work for blind dates. Another one bites the dust. The third guy had the right background, the right age, the right education. But he was from the south, and somehow, in a time when only children were the rule, he had three older sisters. Personality-wise, Bonnie just couldn’t click with him.<\/p>\n
The fourth candidate was even more old-fashioned. He picked apart every little thing about her and actually told her she was too beautiful, too aloof, and not the type to be a devoted wife at home.<\/p>\n
Then came the fifth. He wanted to know if she\u2019d quit her job and stay home full time. His reason? He had a bedridden mother who needed care.<\/p>\n
All the tiny bit of rebellion Bonnie had built up from Lawrence\u2019s relentless pestering just fizzled out as these dates piled on, one after another. Maybe it was time to call Ned\u2019s aunt and scrap the whole thing. She didn’t even care about the deposit anymore.<\/p>\n
By Friday night, Bonnie had to work late, so she got home well past her usual time. She\u2019d planned to call Ned\u2019s aunt first thing the next morning. Before she could, her phone rang.<\/p>\n
The moment she picked up, the apology was already there.<\/p>\n
\u201cBonnie, I\u2019m really sorry. I\u2019m still out of town, and I\u2019m not sure when I\u2019ll be back. Laura told me none of the guys I introduced worked out? Was it their looks? Their personality? Their family?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re Ned\u2019s classmate, so I\u2019ll just be straight with you. The profiles I gave Laura are from Love Begins Here\u2019s five-star members. I figured, if you weren\u2019t satisfied with them, then really, I don\u2019t know who would be better. Like, take that university professor for example\u2014he\u2019s handsome, tall, highly educated, his parents are both in leadership positions, and he even likes swimming, just like you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
The more Bonnie listened, the quieter she got.<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t remember meeting a single guy who matched any of those promises. The profiles Laura sent always looked nice enough, but in person, reality was something else entirely.<\/p>\n
Something felt off, and she couldn’t quite explain it. The gut feeling was just there, gnawing away.<\/p>\n
She finally asked, \u201cOphelia, I don\u2019t think Laura introduced me to anyone like the person you described. Could there have been some mix-up?\u201d<\/p>\n
After the call, Bonnie sat on the bay window, hugging her knees and staring down at the river of headlights blending into the city\u2019s glow. All at once, she remembered the last time she saw Felton.<\/p>\n
That phone number\u2014one he hadn\u2019t forgotten even after three years\u2014kept ringing in her mind like an alarm.<\/p>\n
Lawrence didn\u2019t want her going on dates.<\/p>\n
Was this his doing again?<\/p>\n
Well, there was only one way to find out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-731","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/731","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=731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
