Three Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 181

Bonnie was so drunk she could barely think straight, but some part of her was still hanging on. She pointed up at the ceiling, her speech slurred. “But… I’m home... Lawrence, there’s water leaking through my roof.”

“It’ll be fixed tomorrow.” Lawrence’s voice caught, thick with emotion as he ran his fingers through her wet hair, gently rubbing her ear.

Everything about this felt startlingly real. Ever since their breakup three years ago, Bonnie had kept having dreams like this. In those dreams, Lawrence had never left her. He was always there, her knight, loyal and brave.

Just like right now. With him around, nothing seemed scary.

“Lawrence, my head hurts.” She winced.

“I’ll rub it for you.”

“My stomach’s upset too...”

Lawrence pressed a soft kiss to her forehead, his palm sliding to rest lightly on her stomach.

Bonnie’s eyes filled with tears. “My ear hurts too, Lawrence. They hit me, and they called me names... They said I was the other woman.”

Lawrence’s breath shuddered. “That’s not true. Should I go talk to them?”

Bonnie just nodded, then suddenly collapsed into his arms. She gripped his shirt tight and sobbed, her cries bursting out like a little kid who lost her favorite treat, heartbreak and helplessness all tangled together.

Her crying ripped straight through Lawrence’s heart. He held her close and covered her ears, trying to muffle the world for her. Her voice was muffled and fractured, tangled up in pain and sorrow.

She whispered, “Lawrence, how could you leave me?”

That old, familiar loss of control shot through Lawrence. His arms around her trembled, and tears rolled down his cheeks, soaking her hair.
