I've Been There Before

Chapter 326: I’m Tired of Playing This Game

In the past three days, Caden did not come to her.

Saul and Deacon were just like two expressionless Door Gods, with one standing on the left and the other on the right.

The original residence was almost destroyed by the fire. Therefore, Grace once again came to the Shaw’s mansion. There was no fragrance of flowers or the beautiful singing of birds. The housekeeper was very professional, for he had arranged everything properly.

Apart from Saul and Deacon, she didn’t even have a person to speak to.

Even Saul and Deacon didn’t talk to her.

As for the housekeeper, he was always respectful when seeing her.

In this case, both her ears and mouth had become ornaments.

She knew some of the servants in this villa, but whoever saw her would just nod respectfully and bypass her.

She only took interest in watching the gardener.

But in this season, flowers and trees had long withered, so it was impossible to see colorful plants.

Only the pines and cypresses were still green.

Apart from that, there was no one else she could talk to. There was not even an animal in the villa.

At this moment, she remembered that Caden had once said that when he was lonely, he could only talk to the fish in the pond.

But … that was just a lie.

Another week passed.

In this large villa, she was still alone.

Half a month had passed, but Caden never appeared in front of her again. Occasionally, Ladd would come back to fetch some of Caden’s clothes, but he always left in a hurry.

Grace spent every day in confusion, and she found that Saul and Deacon would show a grim look sometimes.

She couldn’t guess why they were like this.

On a cold winter day, the pitch-black iron gate of the villa was opened once again. From the second floor, she saw the familiar Bentley coming in.

Looking at the car, she was in a trance.

He … still came back.

She looked away, for she didn’t know how to face him.

Time ticked away and the butler respectfully invited her downstairs.

She wanted to ask him if she could refuse to see Caden.

However, the butler had already turned around and left.

She delayed for a long time, but she finally went downstairs.

Grace couldn’t help laughing at herself. She wondered when she had learned to adapt to the changing environment.

She chuckled self-mockingly. Before a smile appeared on her haggard face, she had put on a cold expression.

At the entrance of the stairs, a tall and straight man stood there quietly.

It was him.

He just stood there, looking up at her standing at the top of the stairs.

At this moment, a strange feeling gripped her. Caden was like a figure in a static painting, and he was looking at her quietly.

Ladd still stood behind him in a respectful manner, looking like an eternal guardian.

Caden looked at her for a while. Then he stretched out his hand and beckoned to her. “Come here.”

His voice was still deep and low, but there was a hint of softness in it.

She remained silent, but she knew that she couldn’t avoid meeting him.

She walked downstairs.

She walked slowly on purpose, and it seemed that a century had passed. Since Caden had always been an ill-tempered and impatient person, she thought he must have urged her. However, he just stood quietly at the staircase, waiting for her to approach him.

At this moment, she had an illusion that Caden had been waiting for her for more than a century. In this long period of time, he had turned into a fossil, and his only purpose was to wait for her.

However, just as this absurd idea struck her, she immediately denied it. She seemed to be naive again.

What was worse, she no longer knew how to face him in a natural manner.

She did not know how long a century was, but when she finally came to him, she felt limp and exhausted. Standing in front of him, she did not dare to look up, but she could feel that he was looking at her affectionately.
