I've Been There Before

His hand suddenly grabbed her chin and lifted her head with strength. Their handsome and beautiful faces were almost within reach!

Caden stared at her face tightly with his cold gaze, “Go to the hospital or the bank? Grace, I'm giving you a chance to choose.”

He was so close that Grace could clearly see the fine hairs on his face.

Her eyes looked persistent and unyielding, “I want to go to the bank.” she said it word by word without any intention of giving in.

“You still have the guts to drink alcohol with one less kidney.” his cold voice reminded her indifferently, “Do you want to die?”

“I want to go to the bank!”

“You still want to go to the bank even losing your life?”

She deeply looked at him before opening her mouth and indifferently said, “Yes.”

It's not the first time she had put her life at stake. Not to mention, that it was only two sips of whiskey.

She subconsciously used her hand that was hanging on the side of her body to tug the cuff of his suit coat.

He saw everything but Grace didn't realize it herself. His cold eyes drooped down and glanced across her hand, which was tugging his suit coat. Her blue veins were bulging on that very hand.

His incomprehensible gaze landed on her face again...

While staring at her, Caden thought that she had always like to frequently appear and wander in front of him. She had wished that he would take another look at her and make her mood better.

Since when did everything change, when he wasn't paying attention? Even if... She would lose her life, she still wanted to go to the bank and leave him?

There was something insane inside his black eyes.

His profound and tranquil eyes stared at Grace's face deeply, and it became harder to understand.

“Grace, do you really want to go to the bank in a hurry?”

Are you really anxious about leaving my side as soon as possible?

It's not like that! It shouldn't be like this! He's the only one between them who could say “finish”.

His two slender fingers pinched the check away from Grace's hand and swayed it slowly, “What can you do if I let you go to the bank? The bank is closed, could an ATM process a check?”

Could an ATM process a check?
