Chapter 103
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 103<\/p>\n
Lawrence\u2019s eyes stung with heat, but he stayed silent.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve got a wife, a kid, a perfect little family, and still you keep showing up in my life. You don\u2019t even want me to date anyone else, and then you turn around and say you love me? Do you ever listen to yourself? It\u2019s ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bonnie felt empty inside, tired of arguing. \u201cSometimes I wonder if my memories are mixed up\u2026 Like maybe I was the one who cheated, not you, and now you\u2019re here to punish me for it. Lawrence, we\u2019re not kids anymore. There\u2019s no deep grudge between us. Can\u2019t we just go our separate ways in peace?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lawrence\u2019s eyes turned bright red as he begged her, voice raw. \u201cPlease, don\u2019t say that. I\u2019m begging you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bonnie let out a long, heavy sigh. \u201cI\u2019m tired, Lawrence. Really tired.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJust give me some time,\u201d he said quickly, afraid of the way she looked at him \u2014 not angry or even sad, just done. \u201cCandie, just give me a little time. Give me one more chance. I can\u2019t lose you. I mean it, I really can\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
He always thought he could get by, just cruise through the rest of his life on autopilot. But the second he saw Bonnie after coming back, he knew he\u2019d been lying to himself.<\/p>\n
He wasn\u2019t meant to spend his life chained up to something that had long since died.<\/p>\n
Lawrence locked eyes with her, desperate. \u201cJust a few days, or a few weeks, that\u2019s all I\u2019m asking. Don\u2019t shut me out completely, not yet. Please, Candie. Please wait for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bonnie had seen that look a thousand times \u2014 Lawrence making promises, apologizing, staring at her like she was the only one in his universe.<\/p>\n
But she\u2019d been the fool too many times, always believing him. She couldn\u2019t do it anymore. If she gave in again, she\u2019d lose herself completely.<\/p>\n
Her eyes burned. She squeezed her fist tight, digging her nails into her palm, grounding herself. Her voice shook with anger. \u201cWait for what? For you to leave Hannah? For you to walk away from your wife and kid and then come crawling back to me? Lawrence, if you want to mess up your life, go ahead, but don\u2019t drag me down with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
It reminded her of the stubborn Lawrence from back when they first got together. The night she turned him down, he waited outside all night, wild-eyed and desperate just like he was now.<\/p>\n
She tried to keep her cool, even as her heart raced. \u201cDon\u2019t do this. You were the one who broke up with me three years ago. You used me to make Hannah jealous. You were the one who slept with Hannah and started a family with her. So why are you here, acting like you can\u2019t move on, acting like you\u2019re so in love? Lawrence, seeing you like this just makes me sick. Honestly, it makes me want to puke. We should just be strangers from now on and never cross paths again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lawrence was shaking now, chest heaving, whole body rigid. Her words sliced through him, and when she said she didn\u2019t love him anymore, it just broke the last string holding him together.<\/p>\n
He pulled her tightly into his arms, trapping her, one arm locking her shoulders, the other pinning her around the waist.<\/p>\n
His grip was fierce, unyielding.<\/p>\n
Almost in a growl, right in her ear, he said, \u201cBonnie!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-771","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/771","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=771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
