Chapter 76
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 76<\/p>\n
Bachelor was clearly annoyed that Bonnie didn\u2019t offer to go home with them.<\/p>\n
\u201cCandie should really know better after all this time. She hasn\u2019t even bothered to call her elders. She\u2019s not as stubborn as she used to be, so it\u2019s time she went back and apologized. Did you forget she made Dad so mad he almost passed out?\u201d<\/p>\n
Shirley laughed coldly. \u201cReally? You think it was Candie who made him faint? He was just upset he couldn\u2019t cozy up to the Lane family, that\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>\n
That memory was carved into Shirley\u2019s mind. When everything blew up, Bonnie\u2019s grandfather didn\u2019t ask if Bonnie was okay or if she\u2019d been wronged. He just called her useless and told her to apologize to Lawrence immediately.<\/p>\n
Shirley would never forget that.<\/p>\n
Bachelor\u2019s voice was tight and sharp. \u201cCan you just stop for once? Everything Dad does is for this family. He\u2019s old, he can think however he wants. Who cares about climbing up the social ladder? If you ask me, all this talk about getting in with other people is just ugly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shirley snorted. \u201cMaybe you don\u2019t care, but your precious little brother and your nephew? And your mother? They\u2019re all just waiting for my daughter to marry into money. Dream on. They\u2019re not getting a single cent.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bachelor was shaking with anger. \u201cWhat kind of talk is that? You\u2019re really going to start drawing lines between us now? When your brother\u2019s factory had problems, wasn\u2019t it my dad who ran around and pulled strings to help? You weren\u2019t complaining about who owed who back then, were you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Shirley shut her mouth. The elevator arrived right then. They both got inside, and all the arguing just stopped.<\/p>\n
Bonnie stood at the door for a long time before finally closing the security gate.<\/p>\n
Ever since she could remember, her parents were always fighting about stuff like this. Sometimes it would get so bad they\u2019d end up smashing things in the house.<\/p>\n
But whenever someone brought up how the White family had helped Shirley\u2019s side, Shirley would fall silent.<\/p>\n
Bonnie, though, couldn\u2019t stand that kind of pressure. As she grew older, she got more rebellious, even desperate to run away and leave it all behind.<\/p>\n
But she never dared.<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t even bring herself to say \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then Bonnie met Lawrence.<\/p>\n
Looking back, she realized their relationship started because she wanted to rebel. She saw a kind of freedom in Lawrence that she\u2019d never tasted herself.<\/p>\n
She had envied him so much. Lawrence came from an even wealthier family, but instead of acting trapped or uptight, he seemed to float through life with no worries, like a breeze you couldn\u2019t ever catch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-744","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/744","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=744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
