Three Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 245

Hiding behind a pillar a short distance away, Lawrence’s heart pounded against his ribs. Even in the chaotic, noisy airport terminal, the heavy thud in his chest was deafening.

He hadn't slept a wink last night. The words he had overheard in the supermarket kept looping in his mind.

"The northern snowfields are so beautiful, I want to explore everywhere..."

"But that's Silver Ridge, a powder snow paradise..."

The realization that Bonnie was going on a trip with another man had kept him tossing and turning, an agonizing ache settling deep in his chest.

He hadn't come to stop her. But his body had moved of its own accord. He had checked every single flight, certain she was planning to ring in the New Year with Aiken. Today was the only logical departure date.

He had been waiting since the early hours of the morning, subjecting himself to the masochistic need to see if she was really traveling alone with another man.

But why was she alone?

Where was Aiken?

She was carrying a massive backpack and dragging a heavy snowboard bag, struggling to lift it over the curbs. He almost stepped forward half a dozen times, but forced himself to stay planted.

He had no right.

Lawrence tilted his head back, suddenly finding the airport air suffocating. Couples milled about everywhere, checking their bags and heading through security together.

If she and Aiken were supposed to be on this trip, why was he a no-show?

Did he back out?

How could he just abandon her...

How could he do the exact same thing that he had done...

A sharp, piercing pain ripped through his chest. His hands trembled uncontrollably. Gripping his wrist to steady himself, he pulled out his phone and dialed his uncle's number.
