Chapter 130
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 130<\/p>\n
As Bonnie bent to push Jasper away, her scarf slid off her shoulders and bunched around her elbows, leaving her face completely exposed. She looked even paler than usual, like all the color had drained away, her expression cool and unreadable.<\/p>\n
The truth was, she hardly knew what had really happened that night. Back when they\u2019d just broken up, she couldn\u2019t even bring herself to think about it. Any flicker of memory felt like a knife scraping bone.<\/p>\n
She still remembered walking back into the city by herself, promising that no matter how hard Lawrence tried to apologize this time, she wouldn\u2019t forgive him so easily.<\/p>\n
On her way, Lawrence kept blowing up her phone with calls and messages, but Bonnie ignored every single one. It was winter break, so she couldn\u2019t hide out at school, and she definitely wasn\u2019t going back to The Observatory. She went home instead, turned her phone off, and locked herself in her room. Even then, every few minutes, she\u2019d get up and peek through the curtains, checking to see if Lawrence was waiting outside like he used to.<\/p>\n
She waited the whole night, but he never showed. Bonnie told herself maybe they were having some standoff, a silent war. Lawrence really had stopped trying to reach her. She put him on her blocked list, only to pull him out again a few hours later. The longer she waited with no word, the angrier she got\u2014and the more stubborn she became about not reaching out herself.<\/p>\n
But it hadn\u2019t even occurred to her that Lawrence and Hannah were off drinking together at some hotel, and that he\u2019d actually slept with Hannah, just letting Bonnie go like she never mattered.<\/p>\n
That was real betrayal. It hurt in this raw, humiliating way\u2014like everything she\u2019d ever loved, trusted, or dreamed about had been ripped apart by Hannah\u2019s constant games.<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t want to know what Lawrence had said to Hannah in some drunken haze\u2014if he\u2019d whispered the same sweet things he once said to her, or made the same stupid promises boys always make. It didn\u2019t matter. She just didn\u2019t care anymore.<\/p>\n
With an extra push, she finally got Jasper to let go. Her yogurt drink rolled onto the floor and she just let it go. Jasper bent down to pick it up, then tried to reach for her hand.<\/p>\n
Bonnie shook him off. Jasper stumbled backward into his mother\u2019s arms. He looked up at Bonnie, confused and a little hurt, his eyes wide and sad.<\/p>\n
Hannah had already been fuming over Lawrence\u2019s rejection, and now this\u2014she actually started shaking with anger.<\/p>\n
But she couldn\u2019t find a single comeback.<\/p>\n
The truth was, she had been about to start in again, playing up her and Lawrence\u2019s history as childhood friends, acting casual but hoping to get under Bonnie\u2019s skin. Like pointing at the luxury store to their right and casually mentioning, \u201cLawrence once bought me a painfully pink bag from there. Totally clueless, right?\u201d She knew something like that would annoy Bonnie\u2014she\u2019d done it before.<\/p>\n
She told stories like that so often, sometimes even Hannah couldn\u2019t tell what was true and what was make-believe. It all blurred together after a while.<\/p>\n
But Bonnie\u2019s ice-cold words had bruised her pride, and it felt like a slap to the face she wasn\u2019t expecting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-798","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/798","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=798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
