Three Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 291

She wanted to see Bonnie.

After hanging up, Bonnie drove straight to the detention center. Patton was waiting for her outside, and the moment she arrived, he offered her some reassurance.

He promised that Hannah would face a heavy sentence this time. With charges of harassment, criminal defamation, attempted assault, and perjury, the maximum penalty for her combined offenses could put her behind bars for around ten years.

Bonnie didn't show much of a reaction. She remained exceptionally calm, giving a brief nod before following the staff into the visitation room.

The second she walked in, her gaze locked onto Hannah.

It hadn't been long, but Hannah looked as if she had aged a decade. The only thing that hadn't changed was the rigid, stubborn straightness of her spine.

They stared at each other in total silence. It wasn't until Bonnie sat down across the glass that Hannah finally moved her pale, cracked lips.

"You haven't changed at all." Or rather, she was only getting better.

Hannah offered a bleak, self-deprecating smile. Looking at Bonnie, she finally saw what it meant to truly walk out of the darkness and thrive.

Back when they had randomly bumped into each other at that restaurant right after returning to the country, Hannah could still sense that Bonnie was trapped in the shadows.

The way Bonnie's back had instinctively stiffened at the sight of her and Lawrence, the way her fingers curled tight against the table, the distracted press of her lips—it all proved that Bonnie still cared.

They had run into each other so many times after that. It felt like some twisted twist of fate. They crossed paths everywhere.

And every time, Hannah made sure to sink her verbal claws into her.

And every time, Bonnie let it affect her.
