Three Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 331

He had broken free from his past, finding the twenty-year-old version of himself again.

Just as she would no longer wake up in the middle of the night, haunted by those painful memories.

She was braver and more confident than ever before.

It was the confidence to take responsibility for her own life, unafraid of making mistakes with every step she took.

Bonnie felt that both of them were in a good place now.

She helped a heavily intoxicated Yvonne sit up straight. Glancing at her phone, she saw an unread message from the very man she had just been thinking about.

Around eleven o'clock, Lawrence had sent a video of himself teaching June how to sit and stand.

Bonnie knew he had always loved animals. Back at The Cabinda University, he would always stop to feed the stray cats and dogs.

The pampered pets at The Observatory were always thrilled to see him, too.

Back then, he was a vibrant, passionate boy who radiated sunshine wherever he went.

The man he was now still carried traces of that past, but he had settled. He was more reserved, more mature.

Watching the video of Lawrence's hand teasing the stubborn puppy who absolutely refused to sit, Bonnie smiled and replied. "She's only a month old. Don't push her so hard."

Lawrence replied instantly. "June is smart. She learns fast."

"It's late. You're still awake?" he added.

Bonnie checked her watch. It was almost one in the morning. After drinking all night, the alcohol was finally hitting her.

Yvonne was fast asleep, leaning heavily against her shoulder. Bonnie called her name a few times, but got no response. She had no choice but to sit there and wait.

But the moment they stepped outside, the warm night breeze hit Yvonne, making her knees buckle. Bonnie was nearly dragged down to the pavement with her.

Oasinia's nightlife was vibrant. Even at this hour, the streets were bustling, especially outside a bar.

A few men lingering by the curb noticed the two beautiful, unsteady women and eagerly stepped forward to hit on them.

In the past, Yvonne never got this drunk when they went out. Tonight's emotional breakdown had pushed her over the edge. Bonnie tightened her grip on her friend and steered them to the side, avoiding the predatory gazes of the strangers.

Dizzy and stumbling, Yvonne tripped over her own feet. Bonnie, already buzzed from the alcohol, couldn't hold her balance when Yvonne lunged forward. She stumbled backward, bracing for a harsh fall.

Just then, a hand pressed firmly against her back, catching her.

"Careful."
