I've Been There Before

Grace’s face darkened all the way home.

By the time the car stopped, Caden had already taken the initiative to carry the things they bought.

She just planned to buy simple daily necessities, but…

She was glaring at that pile of stuffs.

It was the biggest mistake to take him to the supermarket.

On the contrary, he stood there with bright smile, telling her that he was in a very good mood.

But she was not good!

They entered the elevator and he leaned against her. She took half a step back in annoyance. Normally, someone would sense it and retreat.

But... Caden did not have such a consciousness at all.

When they just got home, she felt dizzy.

“Grace, are you alright?” The powerful arm tightly wrapped around her. She had almost fallen to the ground.

She reached out and pushed his hand away, “I’m just tired. Put on your new slippers.”

She saw him obediently changing his shoes and put on that slippers. He was so excited, “Grace, are they cute? So good, right?”

“…”

He asked again and again, “Are they good? Cute?”

What could she do? She just felt it funny. He didn’t feel tired, “How do you think?” She was so annoyed. She could only vaguely answer him. She really couldn’t tell lies that he looked cute and beautiful in those pink slippers...

It was so odd!

Hearing her answer, he immediately bent down and rummaged around in the bag. She was puzzled. “Oh! Found it.”

Her rabbit slippers... That obvious rabbit...

“Put it on, Grace.”

She got headache again… I wouldn’t!

She almost lost her rationality!

But he felt nothing and already squatted down in front of her.

She was puzzled.

He squatted on the ground, laughed and looked up at her dumbly.

“Grace, put on it as well.”

“No.”

She took off her shoes and took out her light gray slippers from the cabinet. He quickly reached out and snatched them away. Her expression changed.

He grabbed her ankle. She was shocked and wanted to avoid it.

He was so powerful.

“Grace, don’t move. I’ll help you put on the rabbit slippers.”

His words made her tremble.

Her eyes widened. The same handsome face but totally different actions. It was unreal.

What… was he doing?

He clumsily picked up one of the slipper and put it on her foot.
