Three Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 141

Bonnie just couldn’t wrap her head around it.

She scrolled absentmindedly, then jumped back to the top and opened up the most recent post. The hottest comment was from a few days ago.

Hannah, why aren’t you updating anymore? Aren’t you going to perform now that you’re back? I want to sit in the front row and bring you flowers!

It had tens of thousands of likes. Hannah had actually replied.

No concerts for now. Too busy lately. Jasper has been sick and crying nonstop.

The whole comment section was full of people comforting Hannah. A few mentioned Jasper’s dad and even talked about Hannah and his years-long love story.

But no one said a word about any trouble in Hannah’s marriage.

Hannah hadn’t said a thing, either.

Bonnie finally felt her chest loosen. If Hannah’s own fans had no idea, then the gossip definitely hadn’t spread.

She closed out the app and was just about to go to sleep when her phone lit up. It was Helen calling.

A jolt of dread shot through Bonnie’s stomach.

The second she picked up, Helen didn’t hold back. “Bonnie, is it that side chick of Lawrence’s bugging you again? I swear, I’m going to lose it! Literally just now I was at the admin desk getting a stamp, ran into Mack from electrical, and he showed me a video. Asked if that was you!”

Listening to Helen vent, Bonnie actually started to feel a bit more grounded. She closed her eyes, curled up in bed and, after a long silence, finally spoke.

“Helen, teach me how to clap back. I really need some pointers.”

Helen burst out laughing. “Come on, you? This is just not you. I grew up arguing with kids in the alley, I’ve got years of nonsense to throw out. You? Who have you ever fought with, besides Lawrence? Never mind that – here’s all you need to remember: don’t bother defending yourself, just go on the attack. That’s how it works.”

Bonnie managed a weak smile. “Alright, I’ll run through some lines tonight. Get home safe. I’ll be fine, really.”

Helen hung up. Bonnie turned off the main lights, leaving her nightstand lamp on, casting the room in a soft yellow glow.

She finally let out a breath and shut her eyes. Just as she was starting to drift off, she heard the door creak open.
