Steal my heart novel (Grace James and Caden Shaw)

Chapter 207 I Am Here to Get Drunken With You

It was clearly words trying to annoy Caden. Caden stood on the stairs, his black eyes landed upon the

man who was mocking, yet, he said nothing.

The atmosphere was strangely silent, as though there was a storm incoming.

The butler had the urge to run away, but his feet were heavy, as if a nail on his feet, making him unable

to lift them up.

He blamed Franklin’s rudeness as a guest in his heart. At a sensitive time like this, he had never seen

someone pick the time specially to provoke.

“Where is the joke? The Shaw family is still here, the S City trembled when the Shaw family stomped.”

Franklin ridiculed even more: “You are right. As long the Shaw family is not fallen, you guys are still the

leader in the city. Not to mention stomping, even a sneeze can shake the entire S city.” He bent his lips

provocatively, “But you, Caden Shaw, can’t even keep your wife with you! Hahaha, allow me to laugh

for a while. The resolute and cold Master Shaw can’t even keep his wife, who’s not seeing you as a

joke in the entire S City?”

The butler almost stepped forth and covered Franklin’s provoking mouth.

The atmosphere was even more silent, one could even hear the sound of needle dropping to the

ground!

Franklin’s smile was unspeakably annoying. Even the butler, who wasn’t the one to be mocked, had the

impulse to punch this guy in the face. The butler peeked at the man on the stairs carefully, saying in his

heart: It wasn’t good.

While the atmosphere was tense, a light laughter surprised everyone in the house. Franklin looked

toward the source of the laughter, surprise was unfolded between his brows… Was he still in his dream

or were his eyes blurred? Caden could still laugh at a time like this?

Shouldn’t this guy punch him in rage?

Shouldn’t they pick a fight without hesitation?

But… a laugh?

Was Caden so mad that he already lost his sanity?

“Indeed, you should see my embarrassment. You’re right, I can’t keep the person that I like.”

“…” Did he really lose his mind?! … After hearing Caden’s sudden words, Franklin was completely

shocked to unconscious… He was here to see Caden’s embarrassment, but not a Caden like this!

“The entire S City is waiting for me to be embarrassed, isn’t it? They should! The person I like have

been alongside with me for a long long time, but I destroyed the future she was supposed to have with

my own hands.

“In this world, the saddest thing is not ‘never own it’, but ‘should have owned it’… Who is more stupid

than me in this world?”

The man on the stairs mocked himself. His sadness was so depressed that it became suffocating.

Franklin went silent, all his mocking and self-content disappeared to nowhere, “It’s not only you.”

Only three simple words, but immense regrets also hidden within.

“You’re not the only one who is stupid.” He was also one!

Franklin turned around, and looked at the butler: “Sorry to bother you, could you help me fetch the thing

at the back of the car?” With that, the car key was thrown to the butler’s palms.

After a while, the butler came back with a rectangular wooden box: “Mr. Cordon, is that it?”

“Just give it to me.”

Franklin took over the wooden box, opened it adeptly, holding up the bottle from the wooden box: “Hey,

Caden Shaw. Have a drink?” He laughed bitterly as he said: “I wasn’t here to laugh at you.” Laughed at

Caden? What position did he hold? Wasn’t he another joke?

“I am here to get drunk with you!” he said, “We’re the same, both arrogant and self-conceited, but we

forgot to look back at the person behind, forgot to take a look at the person that makes our hearts

tremble.”

“Then, we hurt our beloved woman thoroughly. We are doomed to lose her.”

Caden stared at Franklin for a while, then shook his head, “I am different from you.” Glancing at the red

wine in Franklin’s hand, Caden said, “I don’t need to get drunk in order to feel better, and I won’t drink

the wine with you.”

Franklin’s heart shrank, and said urgently, “Caden Shaw, don’t tell me you believe that a broken glass

can be complete again? You think that woman will come back?” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“You know nothing about her!”

“She’s lowly, but stubborn and tolerant!”

“If she is determined to do something, even you, Master Shaw, didn’t like it. She still managed to

disappear completely under your eyes!”

“You said she’s your wife, but Caden Shaw, the ‘wife’ you talked about, she was just bearing it, waiting

for the day to escape. It was just one of her compromises!”

“Did she really want to be married to you?”

“Did she really want to be with you?”

“Caden Shaw, you’re pathetic! Even now, you are still dreaming that she would become the person she

used to be and love you?”

Franklin didn’t know who he wanted to persuade, Caden Shaw, or… Himself!

His spoke very fast, faster and faster, his voice grew sharper. He didn’t even notice the panic deep in

his heart.

Caden glanced at Franklin, “I don’t if I know her enough, but I know myself good enough. Franklin, I am

different from you.”

Franklin was angry for no reason, “She has already left! You couldn’t find her! This country is so large,

what can you do?”

“Wherever I can reach with my feet, I will visit one by one with the rest of my life until the day I can’t

walk anymore.” His black eyes looked even deeper, staring in the face of Franklin.

Franklin’s face suddenly went pale!

He stared at the man on the stairs for a long time, and suddenly laughed tragically, “You will definitely

fail!”

Caden didn’t care, he said to the butler coldly, “See off the guest.”

Franklin looked pale, with his head lowered and eyes on the ground. Under the butler’s “polite” gaze,

Franklin walked outside. Right before he moved out of Caden’s sight, the man on the stairs suddenly

said, “Frank, there is something you don’t understand. Because she is my wife, not yours; because she

left and hide herself from me, not you, our choices will be so different as a result.”

After saying that, he turned and walked upstairs without paying attention to Franklin.

Franklin’s body shook and sat in the driver’s seat in the car. His expression remained in a trance…

Because they were different, their choices were different accordingly… Hehehe…

He closed his eyes, tears streamed out of his eyes. Was Grace doing that because of this? So, in this

story, it had always been only Caden and Grace, without Franklin, was that it?

He then opened his eyes, watching the red wine in his hand, eyes revealed a trace of ridicule: “What

am I here for today?” At the beginning, he said he was here to laugh at Caden Shaw. Then, he said he

was here as a fellow sufferer, they were both wrong. He was there to get drunk with Caden.

But now?

Franklin looked at the bottle in his hand in a trance… He asked himself, what was he here for today?
