Three Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 424

Bonnie poked Lawrence's chest playfully. "Not jealous anymore? Figured it out yourself?"

Lawrence wasn't the least bit embarrassed at having his thoughts read. That deep kiss in the bathroom had indeed cleared his mind completely.

He realized that if Bonnie had ever truly fallen for Aiken, it wouldn't have mattered what choices the man made. Whether Aiken chose to remain a frontline detective or took a safe desk job, whether he took her skiing or flaked on her entirely, Bonnie would have bravely and firmly given their relationship a real shot.

She wasn't the type of woman to prioritize her partner's career over love.

The simple truth was that Bonnie had never harbored feelings for anyone else.

All her bravery, determination, boldness, and decisiveness had been given entirely to him—the man who had once broken her heart.

So what right did he have to doubt or second-guess her?

His Candie rarely let her heart be swayed, but she had given it to him completely and without reservation. All he needed to do was return that devotion a thousandfold.

Lawrence pressed a tender kiss to her forehead. "Candie, I was being petty again."

Bonnie let out a muffled laugh, sliding her arms around his neck to tease him. "I'm used to it, you jealous jerk."

He accepted the title without a fight.

Knowing he had finally worked through his insecurities, she didn't bother explaining any further. She just shifted into a comfortable spot against him and drifted off to sleep.

Lawrence whispered a soft good afternoon, his heart finally entirely at peace.

...

Shortly after the holidays, Bonnie and Yvonne Walker's Zoo Architectural Studio officially opened its doors. The social media accounts they managed together were also gaining serious traction.

Their studio wasn't just taking on urban renewal projects; their scope included small-scale architecture, boutique interior design, graphic design, and project planning.

Business was steadily expanding.
