Chapter 119
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 119<\/p>\n
Lawrence still didn\u2019t really know how to compromise, and Hannah was close to having a total meltdown. She somehow managed to find a fruit knife and confronted him, wanting to know why he hadn\u2019t come home last night.<\/p>\n
He blamed his new business, desperate to calm her down, and after a lot of gentle coaxing, finally got the knife out of her hand. So later, when Hannah suggested going out to see a show, he just agreed. He didn\u2019t expect Bonnie to show up at all.<\/p>\n
Actually, while he and Hannah were still inside the theater, he had already spotted Bonnie. All he did was take a step in her direction, and Hannah caught on right away.<\/p>\n
She started ranting about how Bonnie kept showing up, how she wouldn\u2019t quit, how she was always coming between them and wouldn\u2019t leave their little family alone. The more she talked, the shakier her voice got, and soon she was totally losing it. Lawrence had no choice but to suggest he go talk to Bonnie, settle things once and for all. But Hannah snapped back, demanding to know what exactly he could possibly need to say to Bonnie that she couldn\u2019t hear.<\/p>\n
Looking at Hannah\u2019s face, at her red, swollen eyes, Lawrence\u2019s thoughts tangled. Hannah was the last family Aloys and Jeniffer had left. She was the sister he had grown up with for sixteen years, someone he\u2019d always treated like his own flesh and blood.<\/p>\n
The doctors said she couldn\u2019t take any more stress, not even a little bit.<\/p>\n
So right in front of her, Lawrence said things to Bonnie that cut into his own heart as he spoke them. Every word hurt, eating away at him, and he had no idea if the pain would ever stop.<\/p>\n
He thought maybe that was it, that things would finally settle down. But Hannah still wasn\u2019t satisfied. Whenever he was gone, she\u2019d find a new way to act out, her emotions spinning out, never really okay.<\/p>\n
She forced him to stay close, begging him again and again to tell her he loved her, that he loved the baby she was carrying.<\/p>\n
If he hesitated even for a second, she wouldn\u2019t think twice before hurting herself.<\/p>\n
Lawrence was terrified of something happening to her. He knew Hannah wasn\u2019t in control, not anymore. All he could do was take it, the pressure stacking up, along with his longing for Bonnie, the guilt, and the frustration.<\/p>\n
It just kept getting worse. He pretty much stopped sleeping.<\/p>\n
Then she became aware of the hard, hot body pressed against her back, the strong arm holding her close. Reality clicked back into place. She remembered where she was.<\/p>\n
Her head throbbed. Her nerves felt raw and oversensitive.<\/p>\n
Bonnie couldn\u2019t take it anymore. She rolled over and shoved Lawrence as hard as she could. He\u2019d only been sleeping on the edge of the bed, no real warning, and he fell right off.<\/p>\n
Lawrence let out a quiet groan and pushed himself up with his arms, sitting there looking dazed.<\/p>\n
Bonnie ran a tired hand through her hair. Sweat stuck to her forehead, and all she felt was grossed out and exhausted.<\/p>\n
The phone screen lit up again, and Aiken\u2019s name kept flashing, refusing to go away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-787","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/787","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=787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
