I've Been There Before

Grace watched him finish the noodles and even the soup with a crying face. He cautiously peeked at her. Maybe he thought that she didn’t know what he thought.

Grace stood up and wanted to clear the table.

“Grace, put it down.”

“I’ll wash the dishes.”

“Caden will do the dishes.” He caught the plates.

She felt nervous. Letting him wash the dishes was not a good idea. Luckily, this time, although he was not skilled, he didn’t cause a mess.

She went to the bathroom. Warm water flowed down from above, which not only washed her body, but also washed over all chaotic scenes in her mind.

There were scenes about her grandfather was still alive, about her confidently sticking to Caden. At that time, she was young and vigorous. She always thought that she had worked hard enough and was outstanding enough. If Caden did not like her, who else would he like?

Then the scenes changed. It was Wallis’s corpse. She was lying in front of her. Caden’s sharp gaze pierced through her mercilessly.

It was the first time for her, apart from offer sacrifices to ancestors, to kneel down. It was really cold that rainy night, not only the rain, but also the hope in her heart.

Until…

Suddenly, she trembled and opened her eyes. The water slid past her eyes, causing them somewhat sour.

She randomly wiped the water off her face and finished the shower, going out barefoot.

Bang!

A loud noise alarmed the man in the living room.

“Grace, Grace, what happened!” Before she could reply, the door was kicked open.

She held her waist and stared blankly for a few seconds. Her face turned red and she hurriedly found something that could cover her body, but failed.

She could only tightly hug herself and roar angrily at him, “Who allows you to come in?!”

“I, I…”

He was still dumbfounded by the scene.

“Get out!”

However, he looked at her with a determined expression.

“Grace fell down and Caden saw it, so Caden couldn’t leave the Grace behind. Caden needs to help Grace. Humbert said it was called righteous and courageous.”

Alright, Humbert. Were you too free to be an enlightenment teacher?

“Caden, get out of here!” She hugged herself tightly and stared at him. If her gaze could kill someone, she would probably have cut him into thousands of pieces by now.

She shook his head firmly, “Caden can’t leave.”

He walked towards her.

Under her extremely angry gaze.

When she regained her senses, he had already carried her in his arms. “Grace, you can’t catch a cold. Caden will carry you to the bedroom.”

She felt so embarrassed. His expression was innocent. She wanted to curse but could not find a word.

She couldn’t find any cunning and prank in his handsome face. He just wanted to help her.

Seeing such an honest expression, she swallowed the words.
