I've Been There Before

There was a strange tacit understanding between Grace and Caden.

They spent the best days they had ever had.

They never had a fight and never blamed each other.

Everything was fine.

They were like a couple in the honeymoon period.

She didn’t get angry with him. He was no longer bossy.

Every day, he cooked breakfast and dinner, and she enjoyed the meal quietly.

Sometimes, they even sat on the sofa and watched his favorite cartoon “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf” together in the evening.

“I’m Gray Wolf. Will you be my Red Wolf?” Every time Caden saw the big castle where Gray Wolf lived on the screen, he asked so with expectation.

He never got tired. As long as he saw Gray Wolf and Red Wolf, he would repeat these words over and over again.

Then she would smile and tell him to peel apples or oranges.

Everything seemed perfect.

Everything seemed too good to be true.

At the weekend, Gloria came to Grace’s home. She was shocked by the harmony between Grace and Caden. She asked in surprise, “What’s wrong with you?”

Vivian blinked her eyes and said, “How could you just forgive him so easily? He’s a bad man! How could you!”

Grace only smiled and didn’t say anything. She took their words like a passing wind.

Gloria shook her head, “If people saw Caden cook like a househusband with a ruffled apron and cute slippers on, they would jump out of their skin. It must be a piece of breaking news that startles everyone in S City.”

Sitting on the sofa in Grace’s house, Gloria fixed her eyes on Caden. She was so shocked.

Vivian sighed, “It’s a pity that this is not the real Caden. If only the real Caden could treat Grace like this ...”

Suddenly Gloria stopped her. Vivian looked at Grace. A shadow of smile touched her mouth. It seemed that she didn’t mind at all.

It was at the weekend.

They three stayed together in the warm room. The sun shined brightly. It was not cold at all.
