Three Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 494

"Careful, what's the rush?" Lawrence felt a sharp twinge of jealousy, but he didn't want to show it in front of an outsider and put Bonnie in an awkward position.

He steadied her by the waist and pressed a natural, lingering kiss to her forehead. Bonnie leaned into his embrace, her eyes curved in a sweet, affectionate smile.

It was a stark contrast to the cold, distant demeanor she had shown just moments before.

Preston, her senior, obviously noticed the difference. He could only pretend nothing had happened and offered Lawrence a stiff nod in greeting.

It wasn't the first time he had seen Bonnie's boyfriend. From one man to another, he had to admit that Lawrence was exceptional in every way—from his striking looks and athletic build to his commanding presence, background, and sheer capability.

But no one on this campus would easily admit defeat.

Preston felt he had the upper hand; he had known Bonnie longer and they shared the same major, giving him an innate advantage.

At the architecture department's freshman welcome party, serving as a Teaching Assistant, he had fallen for the beautiful, aloof girl at first sight.

He had made both obvious and subtle advances, none of which Bonnie accepted. He understood—girls like her were notoriously hard to get.

He had planned to take it slow, but then Lawrence came out of nowhere.

And with overwhelming momentum, he had won her over.

Who could just accept that?

They were only dating. Preston didn't believe he was completely out of the running yet.
