The Bachelorette star Charity Lawson has revealed whether she would've allowed Brayden Bowers to come back if he had asked for a second chance.

Brayden suddenly and unexpectedly broke up with Charity during a group date in Washington because he couldn't envision himself being ready for an engagement at the end of the process.

When Brayden was dumping Charity, his delivery was a little harsh -- especially since Charity had given him multiple chances, much to the dismay of her other bachelors -- and so he returned to the cocktail party preceding the fourth Rose Ceremony of the season to apologize.
Brayden didn't ask to rejoin Charity's cast of bachelors, but even if he had, The Bachelorette star said it wouldn't have mattered.

"Nothing at that moment was going to change anything," Charity told Entertainment Weekly.
Charity therefore confirmed she wouldn't have invited Brayden back on the show. At that point, Charity apparently determined that their relationship was over.
"Luckily he didn't ask for another chance," Charity said, "but I was so curious to see what on earth he could possibly have to say. I didn't care, because the choice and decision was made."
Charity said that after everything that had transpired with Brayden, she was "just glad" to close that chapter and move forward in her journey to find lasting love.
Charity had given Brayden the First Impression Rose and a special one-on-one date shortly afterward. She had made it clear that they had a strong connection, and she even called him the best kisser on Night 1.

But Adrian Hassan warned Charity that Brayden had called her "disrespectful" and "classless" for breaking Bachelor Nation's "longest kiss" record with Joey Graziadei in front of a group of her guys, and Aaron Bryant let Charity know that Brayden didn't like her dating other guys and also didn't think he could propose marriage in the end.

Charity, however, continued to give Brayden roses so that she could see their relationship through. She made an effort to give him the reassurance and validation he needed since he was struggling with the process so much.
Charity followed her heart, but the final straw was when The Bachelorette star learned Brayden had packed his bags and considered quitting multiple times.
When Charity confronted him, it seemed like Brayden couldn't take the heat. He was also frustrated because several of the guys had thrown him under the bus and were fighting with him constantly.

Brayden therefore determined that it was time for him to go, and Charity didn't try to stop him.
Before the fourth Rose Ceremony of the season, Brayden stormed into the cocktail party to speak to Charity without saying anything to the men who had been hoping for time with Charity that night.
Brayden pulled Charity away from John Buresh -- which infuriated all of the men -- to apologize to The Bachelorette star and let her know that she had done nothing wrong.
Charity snapped in reply that she knew their breakup wasn't on her and that she hadn't been in the wrong.
Charity's bachelors then essentially chased Brayden out of the party and yelled about how he was "not a man."

"Yeah, you've got a big d-ck, man. We're good. You're showing it," Brayden yelled at Aaron B.
Curse words were thrown around and Brayden called the men "jackasses," and then he took off.
At the end of Charity's week in Washington, she eliminated John, Caleb Balgaard, and Michael Barbour.

Charity seemed thrilled with the guys she had left and felt confident that they were all on The Bachelorette's twentieth season just for her.
Brayden released a lengthy statement via Instagram about his behavior on The Bachelorette shortly after Monday night's Season 20 episode aired on ABC.
