Three Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 328

Bonnie had downed a fair amount of alcohol herself. Her gaze was unfocused, a hazy, dream-like mist settling over her eyes. She always had a soft, mysterious look about her, but right now, her eyes looked like deep, still pools of water.

Yvonne thought Bonnie was stunning—not just because of her physical beauty, but because of the quiet, unwavering grace she carried herself with.

From the very first day they met, Yvonne had desperately wanted to be her friend.

Over the past three years, countless men had tried to pursue Bonnie, but she had never given any of them a second glance. She poured every ounce of her energy into her career and her studies.

At first, Yvonne assumed Bonnie was nursing a broken heart, just like her. But as time went on, she realized Bonnie wasn't closed off to the world; she simply hadn't found a single person who sparked her interest.

In this day and age, finding someone who could match you intellectually, emotionally, and professionally was like catching lightning in a bottle.

So Yvonne was dying to know—who was the man with the umbrella? The man who had shielded Bonnie so carefully, whose entire world seemed to shrink down to just her? What was his story?

Her gut told her there was a massive history there.

"He's my ex-boyfriend."

Bonnie took a slow sip of her drink, offering no resistance. She gave Yvonne a condensed version of the truth—their painful breakup, his sudden reappearance, and the horrific viral internet scandal that had almost destroyed them both.

Yvonne's eyes went wide, absolute shock washing over her features. Bonnie just smiled, raising her glass in a mock toast. "Surprise. I'm actually a minor internet celebrity with a massive digital footprint."

Even now, if you dug deep enough online, you could still find pictures of Bonnie from the scandal.

"I first noticed him when I was a freshman in high school. All the girls in my class used to debate who the hottest guy in school was, and his name was always at the top of the list. And coincidentally, my mom was his homeroom teacher."

Bonnie looked down, a soft, genuine smile touching her lips. Looking back at those golden days still brought her a flicker of joy.

"I paid attention to him a few times. He was undeniably attractive, but it wasn't just his face. He radiated this infectious, unstoppable energy. He walked around like nothing in the world could ever drag him down, but he wasn't some spoiled rich kid completely detached from reality, either. He was someone who genuinely lived in the light. Even my mom, who is impossible to please, never had a bad word to say about him."

Back then, Lawrence was the class president, a star on the student council, and had won countless academic decathlons for the school. Bonnie constantly saw his name and picture on the honor roll bulletin boards. She saw girls slipping love letters into his locker, and she saw him dominating the basketball court, drenched in sweat and smiling like he owned the world.

He was the literal embodiment of perfection. He didn't have a single flaw.
