Three Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 491

If Lawrence gave up on her, got a new girlfriend, fell in love with someone else... would he treat her exactly like this?

Would he kiss her, hold her, and rasp out her nickname with this same sickeningly tender devotion?

Just the thought felt like taking a knife directly to the chest.

A fresh wave of irrational heartbreak crushed her, and tears began silently tracking down her cheeks again. He leaned in instantly, catching them with his lips.

"Candie, still not going to tell me?"

She slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered his name. He hummed in response, stroking his hand through her dark hair as he looked down at her. "I'm right here."

She felt like she was drowning in the dark warmth of his eyes. Sniffling softly, she finally confessed, "Lawrence, I'm terrified."

"Terrified? Of me? Did I scare you when I kissed you?"

She flushed a deep crimson, nodding and then immediately shaking her head. "No, not of you..."

How was she supposed to explain this?

Blushing furiously, she admitted, "I'm scared of you being too good to me. I... I'll get used to it. If needing you becomes a habit, what happens when you go abroad or move somewhere else for work? We'll be oceans apart, dealing with massive time zones and completely different lives. Will you even have the energy to care about my feelings?"

"Will you just drop me?"

"When surrounded by much more impressive women, will your feelings change?"

People's stamina was finite. They got exhausted, annoyed, and naturally strayed. Even a guy like him had his limits.

She was terrified of falling from such a massive high.
