Three Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 475

Bonnie nodded, fully agreeing with Helen's advice. Deep down, she felt Lawrence was a genuinely good guy. Back at their high school, everyone knew who he was.

Even after he graduated, his picture remained on the bulletin board of outstanding alumni. He was the pride of the school and Shirley's absolute favorite student.

But as for how he would treat her personally? Bonnie still needed to use this one-month trial to figure that out.

She grabbed her clothes and headed for the showers. Afterward, while towel-drying her hair, she opened WhatsApp. Remembering their date to Caledon tomorrow, it suddenly hit her that she hadn't informed her parents.

She didn't dare tell them the truth. After agonizing over it for a solid minute, she tagged both her parents in the family group chat, lying that she was going sightseeing around Cabinda with her college roommates.

Neither Shirley nor Bachelor suspected a thing. They just told her not to stay out too late and asked when she'd be back.

Bonnie rarely lied, so her brain was working in overdrive. Finally, she typed: [I'll see how it goes. One of my roommates stayed behind, so we planned to hit The Art Studio for some Life Drawing practice. I have an exam right after the holidays.]

Shirley: [Alright. Do you have enough money?]

Bonnie replied that she did, and the chat went quiet.

She let out a long exhale. A very strong premonition washed over her—she was about to step into her rebellious phase. From now on, lying to her parents was probably going to become a regular occurrence.

Mid-panic, she suddenly noticed a notification in her contacts. She hadn't even accepted Lawrence's friend request yet! She quickly tapped 'Accept'.

This time, she openly changed his contact name to simply 'Lawrence'.

It wasn't until past nine that Lawrence finally messaged back: [Went for a run and just showered. Are you asleep?]

Caught between wanting to reply instantly and playing hard to get, Bonnie compromised by instantly replying: [Getting ready for bed.]

Lawrence: [Okay, get some rest. Goodnight.]

Bonnie: [Yeah.]

The very next second, Lawrence called. Thankfully, her phone was on silent. She quickly peeked at her three roommates—all safely hidden behind their privacy curtains, doing their own things. Bonnie yanked her own curtain shut and answered the voice call.

Lawrence's voice was incredibly gentle, like a quiet, steady stream.

"Since you can't sleep, want me to keep you company for a bit?" he asked softly.

Bonnie buried herself completely under her blanket, dropping her voice to a barely audible whisper. "What do we even talk about?"

In his own bedroom, Lawrence was running a hand through his damp hair, grinning like an idiot. "Whatever you want. Or you can just ask me things."

Bonnie thought for a moment before blurting out, "Lawrence, do you know anything about functions?"
