I've Been There Before

Chapter 176 You are too Naive

Grace got off the car as she wished, but was carried down on Caden’s shoulder.

“I am not getting off the car! Let me go! Let go!”

Half of her body was carried on Caden’s shoulder, only her hands grabbed the car door pathetically. Her legs were kicking Caden in fluster, she didn’t have eyes on her back, so she wasn’t sure whether she had kicked the man or not.

“Heh, didn’t you say you want to get off the car just now?”

Grace was choked and soon looked calm, “Before going to prison, didn’t you say you would never marry me?” She talked back.

“That was a mistake. I am correcting it now.” The man’s handsome face looked even more resolute under the street light.

“Caden,” She laughed, “I am also correcting mistakes.”

While the two were talking, the man’s eyes were cold, ignoring her words and said as if he heard nothing, “From now on, you will be my wife and the mother of my son.”

“Caden, you… disgust me!” Grace roared viciously.

Dark light flashed across the man’s long narrow eyes, “You will soon be married to this man that disgusts you!”

“I won’t agree!”

“Grace, you are being naive again.”

At this time, Grace didn’t realize what he meant by this.

Until…

She was sitting next to a lamp in the Civil Affairs Bureau.

“I won’t sign it.” She said coldly, glancing at the thing on the table.

The staff that worked here was still complaining at first, but now he was so nervous that he dared not to speak.

Or even raised his head to take a look… This man wasn’t here to get married, but to force the woman into marriage!

He had been working in this place diligently for eight years, and had never seen such a tense scene.

Caden glanced at Grace’s face, suddenly stretched out his hand to grab hers.

Grace was in panic, “What are you doing! This is illegal, do you know that!”

“Go sue me.” He grabbed her hand and wrote down her name on the paper.

After a while, the word “James” was written on the paper.

“Caden Shaw! You forced me to sign it!”

The raucous voice yelled in fear, and she looked at the staff for help, “Help me. I was forced to sign it.”

The staff looked aside immediately, “Madam, this is your family affair, why don’t you two have a talk and…”

“I am not his wife! This is not family affair! You saw it! You saw everything!”

Why didn’t you say something for justice!

Her voice suddenly stopped, and she clearly felt the warm breath spraying on her ear, she could clearly feel it!

The thin lips were closed to her ear, “That’s why I said you are naive. You are as naive as three years ago.”

Boom!

Her heart was suddenly in great pain!

She almost clenched her teeth to broken… ‘That’s why I said you are naive as three years ago’.

‘Caden Shaw, you won!’

The hand that she put in all her strength to resist suddenly discharged all the power, letting that man hold her hand and wrote her name.

“Congratulations.” The staff congratulated the two.

But it was so unpleasant for her… She allowed that man to take the red book, allowed him to hold her hand and walked outside. She suddenly felt disgusted and shook off his hand, “Well, are you happy now? You won. What are you trying to prove with all these? To prove that you’re omnipotent? You have proved your pride, what about mine?”

She raised her fist and punched on the man’s strong body, his shoulder, his chest, his arms… Every part of his body was punched unstoppably.

Grace was venting out, she must vent out!

She hated him, so she punched him nonstop.

He didn’t move, allowing the woman to punch his body.

Grace’s motion began to slow down as she punched. At last, it took a long time for her to punch, “I don’t blame you.” she slowly opened her mouth and said.

She blamed herself the most!

She blamed her powerlessness!

She was carried to the Civil Affairs Bureau. On the way in, she was like a warrior defending for herself; on the way out, she was frustrated.

She glanced at the red book in Caden’s hand, with her lips pale. She bit her lips so hard that they bled. She laughed in self-mockery… Indeed, she was naive again.

At a time that the Civil Affairs Bureau was off duty, he could manage to register the marriage. She didn’t want to sign, he had more than a hundred ways to force her into signing it.

“Caden, you won. Really, between you and me, I have always been the loser.” She had lost completely! She could feel the warmth from Caden’s palm, but her heart was deadly cold.

All of a sudden, the man hugged the woman into his arms tightly. A sign of tender love revealed between the man’s brows, he said in an overbearing tone, “Grace, let it go… Get along with me.”

Such simple and sincere love words. If someone familiar with Caden stood by, he would never believe that such words came from Caden, who was arrogant like a wolf.

Grace was stunned… The man in front of her, his eyes were always arrogant in the public, but at this moment she saw something that she had never seen from him ever since they knew each other… It was a trace of imploring?

No, no, no, she must have been mistaken!

She blinked harshly, she definitely saw it wrong.

An arrogant lion lowering his lofty head? In order to beg her?

“Mr. Shaw wants me to let go?” How dare she forget? How could she forget?

He said it so easily, but it was half of her lifetime. A simple “forget”…. Caden Shaw! How could you bully someone like this!

The corner of her eyes was reddening. A charming smile was on her pale lips… She was a joke at this moment!

“I don’t care about being Mrs. Shaw or not! You want me to forget my past after being Mrs. Shaw?”

Hahahaha…

With a simple “forget”, he wanted to eliminate the hell-like experience of hers?

The smile at the corner of her mouth grew brighter. She already didn’t know which expression she should use to confront him, or what kind of words to express the pain and fury in her heart!

She was so angry that she laughed, she was so painful that she laughed!

“Mr. Shaw, since you’re so omnipotent, why don’t you,” She raised her head, laughed with tears, “Why don’t you wipe out my memory! Otherwise, I can’t forget! And I won’t forget!” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She laughed, allowing the tears streamed down her face. His heart was hurt by her smile?

The man looked at her in deep regret, but he didn’t show it in his black eyes and didn’t say a word. He turned around and opened the car door of the back seat, pushing her in.

“Ah!”

She screamed, as the man climbed on her body, “Maybe, we should have a child.” With a child, she would let go of the past and live on with him in relief.

“Caden Shaw, you are crazy!” The woman screamed loudly with her raucous voice.

The sound of clothes ripping spread from the car!
