I've Been There Before

Chapter 97 Caden doesn’t know what he’s thinking

He asked her if she knew what she did wrong?

Wrong?

What was right?

What was wrong?

“I’m not wrong.”

She said.

Her heart ached to the extreme!

He actually asked her if she knew what she did wrong?

Ha ha!

“President Shaw, if you say that I’m wrong, then I can only be wrong. But you asked me if I knew I was wrong.” She moved her chin proudly dizzying him, her smile was like the Grace in Shanghai years ago, “I don’t know what I’m wrong at.”

Hatred!

Her hatred for Wallis. She can’t continue to lie to herself. Grace told herself, so what if she goes crazy again, so what? At most, she’ll be sent back to that God-forsaken place!

“Let me go!” She lifted her head and locked her eyes on his body, “Let me go!”

Did she want so much to leave him?

Let her go? To let her leave with Leon?

When Caden recalled of her speaking in her dreams, “Leona, Leona”, he was furious. He looked coldly at the woman on the bed, “Give up that thought as soon as you can. The matter between us, I will continue as long as I want to!”

Want to leave? Want to go to be with that chap Leon and have a blissful life together?

Not in your wildest dream!

Grace shuddered uncontrollably but still raised her chin, “Caden! You just asked me if I knew I was wrong. I just remembered,” she smirked, “I am wrong!”

Her eyes were sorrowful but she hid these sorrows in the deepest place possible. She looked at him and said to him seriously, “I’m wrong and absolutely wrong. My greatest mistake was to fall in love with you! I’m wrong and will have to change. I will change!”

Her serious expression and the way she said repeatedly that she was ‘wrong’, was the way she was those years ago. The manner in which she repeatedly stood in front of him and repeatedly proposed to him, it was identical!

His eyes were fixated on her, her look… those years when she proposed to him seriously… the scene with that proud woman. But now this woman used the same manner and expression to tell him that ‘she was wrong!’!

She said that she was wrong and she will change!

What does she want to change?

A strange pain struck his heart and he felt flustered which he almost couldn’t contain!

He knew that this damn woman can’t wait to leave him and be with that Leon!

“Grace, haven’t I said that even if I don’t want it, others can’t touch it?” Caden’s voice was surprisingly calm but at this moment, the soft and calm voice was horrible.

Grace’s breathing started to feel stifled and she grabbed the blanket tightly. Unknowingly she held her breath as her eyes opened widely, staring at the person who was walking closer and closer to her.

Click-clack… click-clack…

The sound of leather soles stepping across the floor. Grace’s heart tensed up.

The man slowly walked towards her and she felt the immense weight pressing onto her until she couldn’t breathe.

As he was closer and closer to her, she became increasingly pale. But she kept her chin high, not willing to lower her head.

Her pale face slowly turned a sickly red. Her fingers grabbed the blanket tightly and held it towards her… No matter how she covered, it couldn’t hide her fear of him.

The man’s jet black eyes could see her every action, every expression… that she was scared of him!

Grace was scared of him!

When he realized this, his eyes were furious!

He hadn’t noticed that the fact that Grace was afraid of him was even more difficult for him to accept compared to Grace cursing Wallis.

“Whether was it three years ago or three years later, Grace,” His slender tall body was already in front of her. He looked down and coldly said, “You could never determined what happens between us.”

Caden stubbornly determined Grace can only love Caden and Grace can only belong to Caden. Every bit of Grace belonged to Caden, inclusive of her looks and how she looks!

Apart from him, no one can, not even Wallis!

His anger was not only on this damned woman. These three years changed this woman to become so sour and bitter. He wanted the Grace of three years ago! And not this spiteful and heartless woman!

His anger included this spiteful woman who wanted to use her remaining life to curse a person who died three years ago!

Grace wanted to spend the rest of her life to curse Wallis. The rest of Grace's life belonged to Caden. How could she use what belonged to him to curse a dead person?

Whether it was Leon or Wallis, in Caden’s eyes they unknowingly became his hindrance.

Caden also didn’t notice that his current feeling that Grace was his was exceedingly abnormal. He also didn’t notice that he has deep feelings for this woman. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be feeling remorseful for the future!

Suddenly!

His long body bent down towards her and he grabbed her into his embrace and his thin lips were next to her ears. His warm breath caressed her tiny ears. The freedom that she wanted was as good as leaving him. This damned woman shouldn’t even think about this and he smirked and whispered coldly into her ears, “Others can’t touch my things even if I don’t want it. Grace, you can forget about having your freedom and blissfulness! Does a murderer deserve to be blissful?”

This damned woman, expecting to flee together with Leon and be blissful with another man? Stop dreaming!

Caden can clearly feel that the woman’s body tensed up when she was in his embrace. His heart felt a strange hurt and very fast was suppressed by him… She made him uncomfortable and she caused him to be upset, she caused him to be laden with unhappiness.

Grace’s eyes widened and each breath hurt… Grace, you can forget about being free and blissful in this life! Is a murderer deserving of freedom and bliss?

She opened her mouth and wanted to retaliate, ‘She’s not a criminal and did not cause Wallis’ death.’

But the next moment the words were stuck in her throat… No, she was a murderer, she owed a life, Caden… wasn’t wrong.

She was!

Does a murderer deserve to be free and blissful?

Yes, yes, does a murderer deserve to be free and blissful? Leona gave up life because of her and that was a lively life!

What she owed can’t be repaid in this life!

Her face turned pale while her lips became cyan blue. She trembled as she said, “President Shaw is right. A person like me to expect freedom is my greatest mistake.” Be it bliss or hope.

Caden’s cold words pierced into Grace’s heart like a dagger.

Her own admittance was another dagger into Grace’s heart!

Her stiff body was like air being sucked out all at once as she collapsed in his embrace, letting Caden hug as he wished.

Caden, you won again. Grace softly closed her eyes and hid her pain.

“Don’t use the rest of your life to curse Wallis,” The man warmly said, “Since when do you have any remaining days?” Your remaining days belong to me and had nothing to do with anyone else… He continued with another sentence in his mind.

He doesn’t know that he had hurt her to the bones.

She smirked, “Yes, you are right.” She wanted to struggle, she wanted to hate Wallis with all her might, she wanted him to see her hatred, in the end, she said, “Since when do you have any remaining days”, and it suppressed all her anger and hate to her heart’s deepest regions.

Since when does she have any remaining days… where are the remaining days that she can curse and hate Wallis?

So, all your curse and hurt can’t be realized.

Today she used her courage to struggle but in the end, she was too tired to struggle.

Caden, I give up, I won’t struggle anymore. I’m so tired that I’m drained of all strength to resist and struggle…

Her thoughts of abandonment crept into her head and she decided not to struggle anymore. She was like a puppet and let him be tired of it all. She will wait till he doesn’t even want to look at her and discard her into a dust-filled corner. When that happens, she will be able to escape.

“Grace, don’t curse Wallis, she is already dead and you are still alive. It’s not worth it that you become so spiteful and bitter because of a dead person.” A dead person is not worth turning that damned woman into a spiteful and bitter person, it’s not worth it!

Grace trembled and at that moment, she heard that there was a hint of concern in Caden’s words. But… how can it be? Ha… she smirked, the left half of her face was numbed with pain and her heart had sunk into the deepest part of the ocean, chilling to the bone.

The next second, Grace found herself hanging in the air and before she realized what was going on, she stretched out her hand to grab the man’s neck.

When he felt the hands around his neck, Caden’s lips smiled and he carried the woman out of the room, “Time to leave the hospital.”

He carried the woman and walked towards the lift.

“I can walk by myself,” Grace said as she struggled to get down.

But he carried her tightly in his arms, “Be good.”

In his embrace, Grace shuddered for a moment when she heard these two words and her eyes had the look of fear and didn’t dare to move.

Caden put Grace in the front passenger seat and buckled her seat belt, “I’ll send you back to the hostel.”

On the road, Grace was tensed… as she was afraid of this person.
