I've Been There Before

Chapter 272 Shouldn’t Forgive Him

It was raining. It was windy and cold. Caden said that he wasn’t cold.

“Get into the car,” she said firmly and burrowed out of his embrace.

She staggered towards the car. It was not far away. When she got off the car and walked towards him, she felt a great weight of worry inside her. When she walked back, she felt relieved.

Grace pulled open the door of the back seat.

“No.”

Caden said, “No.” He stood stubbornly beside the door and refused to move.

“Why not?”

“I don’t want to sit here.” He acted like a child and insisted, “I don’t want to sit here. I want to sit there.” He pointed at the passenger seat.

Grace was surprised. She looked at Caden in a daze. “You refused me for that.” He refused to get in the car because he wanted to sit in the passenger seat.

Although he lost his memory, why couldn’t she understand him compared to before?

“I want to sit by your side.” He was serious. He had a pair of pure eyes. When he said these words firmly, she was touched.

She didn’t say anything. She walked to the passenger seat in the heavy rain and said, “Come here.” She pulled open the door, looked up indifferently and waved at Caden who stood stubbornly on the other side of the car.

In the next moment, she was surprised. He smiled. He ran to her side happily and kissed her cheek suddenly. “Miss, you’re so kind.”

Grace didn’t understand him.

Did he really forget everything and change his personalities?

Professor Luther said that his IQ was like that of an eight-year-old child.

She touched her cheek as if she could feel the warmth of him.

She pursed her lips and walked back to the driver’s seat. She opened the door, got in the car and closed the door.

She started the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove slowly.

“Do you know Humbert’s phone number?” She threw her cell phone over and said, “Do you know how to make a call? Find Humbert’s number and call him. Tell him that you’re safe.”

Caden said, “Yes, I do.” He took the phone over and held it in his hands. He hesitated for a while.

Grace glanced at him questioningly.

Caden held the phone in both hands and said carefully, “I need the password...”

Grace grabbed the steering wheel. She recalled what happened in the past because of his words. After a moment, she said faintly, “0926.”

926 was her name in prison for the three years.

Caden called Humbert. Grace put on her Bluetooth headphones.

“I have found him. He stays with me.”

Humbert asked a lot of questions.

“He found me. I met him outside the Shen Manor.”

Humbert said something and hung up.

She drove towards the Ginza Garden. It was one o’clock at night. She drove into the underground garage of the Ginza Garden. Then she led Caden to the elevator in the underground garage.

This house belonged to Caden. The house was spacious. However, this house was designed for singles or young couples.

There was a bedroom, a living room, an open kitchen, a bathroom and an open study room beside the living room.

“Take a shower.” She rummaged through the cabinets and found a large coat. If she wore it, the coat reached her knees. She didn’t know if it was suitable for him, but she could only find this one. Perhaps it was suitable for him.

She threw the coat and towel to him.

After throwing them to him, Grace went to the kitchen and cooked.

After a while, she turned around and saw that Caden was still standing there. “Why don’t you take a shower?”

“I...” Caden looked at her pitifully. “Miss, aren’t you going to help me?”

After she heard his words, she asked, “Why should I help you take a bath?”

“Ladd always helps me.”

Grace was speechless.

She looked at Caden who was standing there. Why did he take it for granted? It was strange.

She was speechless for a while.

She said coldly, “Wash yourself. Ladd isn’t here. If you want someone to help you take a bath, go back to that manor.”

Why should she help him take a bath?

Although he had suffered a lot to find her, she wouldn’t forget what happened in the past.

Although his shoes were worn out, she wouldn’t change her attitude towards him.

It was impossible!

He felt disappointed and looked down. After a while, he said obediently, “I can do it by myself.”

The living room was quiet. Only Grace was in the living room.

Leaning against the kitchen sink, she was upset. She turned around and looked away from the bathroom door. What was wrong with her?

She felt angry. She didn’t know it was because of him or herself.

She hated that she almost forgave him at the entrance of the Shaw Manor because of what he did.

Grace hated herself!

She must remember what happened in the past.

She must remember the pain.

She couldn’t forget the past. Forgetting the past was equivalent to betraying herself.

Although she was touched, she didn’t forgive him. It was because she was tired today. It was because of the grievances she suffered in the hospital during the day.

The water was boiling. Grace regained her senses and rubbed her forehead.

When she took the noodles out of the pot, the bathroom door was opened.

She turned around. She saw that Caden was wrapped in a large towel. He stood at the door. When she saw his muscles, she was surprised…

“Why did you take a bath so fast?”

“You also got wet. I only care about myself.”

He felt guilty.

He was so innocent…

She calmed down and pretended to be indifferent. She said, “I only cooked noodles. If you didn’t like it, you would be hungry. If you needed someone to feed you, please go back to find Ladd.”

Then she walked into the bathroom without saying a word and closed the door loudly.

She slammed the door to prove that she wouldn’t forgive him.

She had a meeting tomorrow. She took a bath hastily. Then she dried herself and changed into her pajamas.

When she came out, Caden sat beside the dining table and ate all the noodles. When he saw her, he smiled and waved at her.

“Miss, eat noodles.”

She glanced at him and ignored him deliberately. She walked over and ate the noodles. Then she walked into the bedroom. She took out a blanket from the cabinet and threw it on the sofa. She said indifferently, “You sleep here tonight.”

“I want to sleep in bed.”

“You want to sleep in bed.” When Grace arrived at the bedroom door, she stopped. She turned around and looked at Caden coldly. “If you want to sleep in bed, you can go back to that manor.” If he returned to that manor, he could do whatever he wanted to do.

That night, she was in a mess. She hated that she wanted to forgive him.

Before she fell asleep, she said to herself, “You can forgive anyone, but you can’t forgive him.”

When she woke up early in the morning, Humbert called her.

She said, “I’m busy this morning. I have an important meeting. I have time in the afternoon. I’ll make the time to come back in the afternoon.”

They discussed about Caden.

Humbert thought for a while and said, “I have something to discuss with you. I’ll be at your house at two o’clock in the afternoon.”

She hung up the phone. She frowned when she saw that Caden was staring at her with his hands on his chin. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Miss, you’re so beautiful.”

He was so innocent. If she hadn’t heard what he said and saw what he did, she wouldn’t believe that Caden was so innocent.

She faked a smiled and mocked, “Am I beautiful? Don’t you see the scar on my forehead?”

Caden kept silent. When she was about to stand up, he said.

“You’re beautiful. In my eyes, you’re the most beautiful person in the world.” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Grace clenched her fists and left in a hurry.

After Caden wasted her best years, Caden told her that she was the most beautiful person in the world in his eyes.

If Caden could say that before she was hopeless, it could become one of the few lights in her life and the rare joy in her life.

She stepped into the elevator and left without looking back.

Vivian was waiting for her downstairs. “Ms. Grace, you don’t look well.”

After Grace got in the car, Vivian handed her a glass of milk and a sandwich.

“You didn’t sleep well last night, did you? Vivian, thank you.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Grace ate the breakfast and asked Vivian, “Are you ready? Have you arranged everything?”

“I’m ready. The documents are in my bag.”

Grace took out the folder and flipped through it.

“Grace, take a rest. I’ve checked the documents three times last night. There won’t be any problems.”

However, Grace was worried.

Vivian could only give up.

Grace was too industrious. It was strange.

Vivian had always wanted to ask some questions, but she didn’t ask.

Judging from Grace’s attitude towards this negotiation, Grace took the negotiation seriously.

“Do you have any doubts? Go ahead.”

Grace was looking at the documents. She didn’t look up, but she noticed Vivian’s hesitation.

Vivian thought for a moment and said, “Grace, logically speaking, I shouldn’t ask you, but…”

“If you have any questions, go ahead. It’s fine.”

“OK.”

Vivian said, “Grace, is the James Group...?”

“Yes,” Grace interrupted her and focused on the documents.
