Three Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 440

Time moved far faster than she could have ever anticipated. Before Bonnie had even fully processed her son's toddler years, Hayden had practically morphed into a mini adult.

His personality was calm and steady; he never threw tantrums or caused trouble. And, of course, he still barely spoke. The grandparents were utterly convinced he had inherited this trait from Bonnie, especially since Lawrence had been an absolute menace when he was a kid.

But despite acting like a tiny adult, Hayden was still just a little boy in kindergarten.

This year had brought massive shifts in Bonnie's world.

Zoo Studio was thriving, and her best friend and business partner, Yvonne, finally walked down the aisle.

Bonnie and Lawrence had originally set Yvonne up with Quentin, but their romance had been short-lived; Quentin had ultimately chosen to move abroad to advance his career.

Not long after, Perry Parker—who had been quietly building his empire in the background—moved his operations to Cabinda. He launched an AI startup with some friends, developing cutting-edge technology. And he was phenomenally successful. Not only did his team win a massive startup competition, but they also secured a thirty-million-dollar funding round. Armed with success and stability, Perry confidently stepped back into Yvonne's life.

He launched a relentless, passionate pursuit of the woman he loved. When they had first broken up, Yvonne had called him immature. Now, stripped of his youthful naivety and having eliminated every obstacle between them, he came to her as a self-assured, successful man. Yvonne fell for him fast.

At their wedding, little Hayden was the ring bearer for his Auntie Yvonne.

Later that same year, Yvonne got pregnant. Consequently, the bulk of the studio's workload fell squarely onto Bonnie's shoulders. She handled the pressure flawlessly, even managing to secure a massive government-backed contract in Cabinda.

The project involved transforming a massive, historic industrial factory district into the Heritage Creative Hub, blending architecture with cultural tourism. It wasn't just a renovation; Zoo Studio was responsible for the entire brand strategy and development.

She asked him how their son had done at school that day.

Lawrence, his stamina still as terrifying as ever, pressed open-mouthed kisses all over her skin, murmuring against her collarbone that their son was brilliant—the smartest, best-behaved, most amazing kid in the entire school.

The theme at the kindergarten that day had been making breakfast for their parents.

It was an elite international kindergarten focused on fostering independence, equipped with a massive, state-of-the-art facility. When Bonnie and Lawrence had toured it, they were blown away by the amenities, which even included a mini farmer's market station with a real juice press.

That was what had sold Hayden on the school. He had pointed his tiny finger at the press and declared, "Mom, Dad, I want to go here."
