Three Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 432

The moment Bonnie decided it was time to add a new member to their little family, their daily routine drastically changed.

Determined to prepare for pregnancy in peak health, both Bonnie and Lawrence completely overhauled their diets and locked down a strict sleep schedule.

They cut out overtime whenever possible, hit the gym regularly, and banned late nights entirely.

By October, Bonnie missed her period. They bought a test first, and two bright pink lines showed up instantly. Not taking any chances, Lawrence dragged her straight to the hospital.

The blood test confirmed it. She was pregnant.

It was planned, yet it still felt like an overwhelming miracle. After all, becoming a parent is one of the most defining identities a person can take on in a lifetime.

People had the choice to be parents or not, but since they had chosen this path, they were going to be the absolute best at it.

They only shared the news with their immediate family and closest friends. Naturally, their parents were ecstatic, bombarding them with back-to-back calls filled with a million rules for the first trimester.

Their mothers tried to move in to take care of them, but Lawrence ruthlessly shot them down.

He was fully confident he could take care of his wife and the tiny sesame seed currently growing inside her.

This was their journey, a mandatory course in their marriage, and Lawrence refused to outsource the work to anyone else.

Yvonne immediately called, ordering Bonnie to go on paid leave and promising that she had the company handled. She told her not to worry about a single thing.

Helen bombarded her with a massive spreadsheet of links, swearing by the products she had rigorously tested during her own pregnancy. Folic acid, anti-nausea snacks, pregnancy journals, fetal dopplers, maternity clothes, comfortable shoes, calcium supplements, specialized pillows, blood sugar monitors...

It covered everything from the first trimester to delivery.

Bonnie listened for a few minutes before the exhaustion hit, and she fell fast asleep with her head in Lawrence's lap. Lawrence gently draped a light blanket over her, patting her arm to keep her asleep.

Then, he systematically clicked open every single link. He scoured online forums, cross-referencing advice and reading countless reviews before buying an absolute mountain of supplies. He even scheduled a day to hit the high-end maternity boutiques in person, deciding it was better to over-prepare than miss a single detail.

So that night, Bonnie lay wide awake, staring at the ceiling with watery eyes, suddenly desperate for hotpot.

She wanted authentic, old-school hotpot from The Copper Kettle.

But it was the middle of the night, in the dead of winter, and it was snowing outside. Where was she supposed to get it?

Bonnie swallowed hard, her stomach letting out an aggressive rumble. She tried to carefully pull her hand out of Lawrence's grip so she could rub her belly, but she was trapped.

Lawrence, who was a notoriously light sleeper, snapped awake instantly. Assuming she needed the bathroom again, he flicked on the bedside lamp and reached out to carry her. Bonnie wrapped her arms around his warm, bare shoulders and gave him a light bite.

"I want The Copper Kettle," she mumbled into his skin.

Lawrence burst into a low laugh, his heart melting entirely. This was the first time since getting pregnant that she had actually asked for food. Her silence had been driving him insane with worry.
