I've Been There Before

Chapter 323: He Built Her Another Prison

Grace slowly woke up and found the room was dark. She got up from bed and walked to the living room. She was not surprised when she saw Caden sitting on the sofa. He was watching TV under the warm light.

In the living room, the TV sound was very low, as if he was afraid that the loud noise would wake her up.

The sound of footsteps came from the corridor, and he turned around to have a look.

Then their eyes met.

Neither of them seemed to have any mood swings, as if they were already an old couple. They also seemed to have a common understanding, for they did not mention yesterday’s incident.

It was as if nothing had happened to them.

Caden stood up and walked to the table. He slowly reheated the food and put it back onto the table.

Grace walked over silently and sat down to eat.

There seemed to be no love or hatred between them, as if they didn’t have so many painful memories.

After a meal, the atmosphere was harmonious, and they even had the illusion that everything was going well.

After finishing eating, she put down her chopsticks.

When the chopsticks hit the table, they made a slight sound.

“Let me go,”

Grace said in a hoarse voice.

Caden was washing the dishes, and when hearing this, he suddenly stopped his movements. “You’re tired. Humbert said that you are not in good health. You must go to sleep now. Tomorrow morning, I’ll go to the supermarket to buy a chicken and make you some soup.”

“Let me go,” she repeated in a low voice, not responding to his words.

“Be a good girl.” He put the dishes and chopsticks into the sink. After washing and drying his hands, he walked towards her. Then he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and said, “Go to sleep. Everything will be fine after you wake up.”

“Let me go,” she just said with a calm look.

She didn’t try to break free from his embrace. Although he was so close to her, she couldn’t feel any warmth.

Her eyes were like dry lakes devoid of any water vapor.
