I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 103

It was clear and a bit hot with the sun shining, Grace wrapped her coat tightly again. There were few people in the tree-lined trail. But whenever someone passes by her, he looked at her with strange eyes.

"Is...is she a little insane?"

A young couple passed by behind her. They didn't forget to look back at her again. They talked in a low voice. Although they didn't say it in front of Grace, they didn't lower their voices either.

The sound of small and fragmented discussions sounded in the back of her, and she was accustomed to it. She was accustomed to the usual surprised expressions of those who occasionally passed by.

Looking up at the sun right in the sky, she knew how terrifying her attire at the moment was in the eyes of others.

When everyone was wearing short-sleeved shorts and short skirts, she was wrapped tightly without showing any her skin.

She glanced at the long-sleeved shirt and regretted... She should wear a thicker coat.

There was pain in her bones. Next to her was a young couple riding a bicycle, dangling past her.

The girl was dressed in a white skirt, while the boy was in a white shirt. They looked outgoing and lively. Their brisk chats could be heard from far away,

"Hey. Let’s go to the amusement park later, the weather is fine today, what a pity not to go."

"Okay, okay, it's up to you, let's go to the amusement park."

"How about going camp at night? I bought a tent."

While talking and chatting, the bicycle passed by Grace.

"Hey! Wait a minute."

"What?" The young couple was surprised. The boy put his foot on the ground and stopped, "You call us...?" Grace looked up and down again. The boy was handsome. His delicate brows frowned, "What’s up?" He looked at Grace with suspicion...this, this, isn't she a lunatic?

Grace was stunned... She didn't want to stop the couple, but she couldn't help but do it.

"Are you... okay?" The girl in the back seat with beautiful short chestnut hair tilted her head, stretched out her hand, and shook it in front of Grace.

Grace was stunned, "I..." What did she do?

Why did she suddenly stop the strangers?

"Do you want to ask for directions? It's okay, you can ask, my boyfriend is a know-how, and I am familiar with all the road sections."

The girl's voice was youthful and energetic. Grace quickly lowered her eyelids, blinked. She raised her hand as if inadvertently to wipe the soreness of the corners of her eyes, and then said softly,

"I, I...it will rain today. I saw the weather forecast."

After speaking, she turned around and left. Her feet were inconvenient, so it looked a little strange when she walked. But from the perspective of her pace, it seemed she was a bit cramped.

The conversation of the little couple in the ears became further and further away.

She could hear vaguely, "Really? Does the weather forecast say it will rain today?"

The boy also looked puzzled, "Maybe... she was wrong? But she is really a kind person..."

The voice faded away. Grace gave a wry smile...A kind person?

If they knew that she had been in jail, would they still say that she was a kind person?

Grace went forward aimlessly.

When she raised her head again, Grace was stunned...

Under the banyan tree, a man in white shirt and khaki slacks came into her sight.

He stood in the shade of the tree, with his hands in the trouser pockets. He smiled at her with a stubborn look, showing his big white teeth, so even the air seemed to be full of joy...

In a daze, she seemed to see the summer of that year.

Under a banyan tree bigger than this, the boy was dressed in a white shirt, khaki pants, and white sneakers. Standing in the shade of the tree, she trotted over in a hurry. He looked impatient and urged slightly,

"You are so slow. Girls are troublesome. Hurry up, if you don't hurry up, I will leave."
