I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 104

In the summer of the third year of junior high school, she said, "Caden, be my boyfriend and take care of me."

The young man in the white shirt turned his head, looked at her with his clear eyes, and said nothing. Turning around and leaving, she chased after him and grasped his palm from behind, "You’re mean. It’s easy to support me, can’t you do it?"

Grace still remembered the boy's answer.

He said, "It's not I can’t support you, but that you are not the right person to me." After speaking, he turned around and let her hold his palm, leading her to the school gate.

Grace remembered that she glanced at the entangled palms of the two at that time. Then what was she doing at that time?

Oh...she remembered.

At that time, she thought, "If I am not the right person, Caden, why don't you let go of my hand?"

She took his arm affectionately from behind and got close to him, smiling, "Caden. If I am not the right person, then there will be no such right person in this world."

...

"Grace? Grace?" Franklin called twice and felt a little dissatisfied that she was distracted again... There was a trace of loss in his eyes. It seemed to be another person living in this woman's heart, and this person appeared earlier than him in her life.

But in the next second, the brilliance in his eyes came back again. He put her palms in his,

"Try it, just give me a chance. Trust me, I won't let you shed another tear."

…

Grace's shoulders trembled, and there was a trace of yearning under her eyes. When she raised her head, she saw Franklin's sincere face again. She suddenly felt that her palms were so hot and painful that she threw away Franklin's hands and put both her hands behind back. Then she stepped back a few steps quickly, and moved a little away from Franklin. She stared at Franklin with her black eyes blinking.

"Say something... Grace, you can't escape."

He drew closer, and Grace took a few steps back.

Franklin's eyes gleamed, and he moved closer.

Grace also stepped back.

Franklin couldn't bear it anymore, stretched out his long arms, and brought her in front of him. He wrapped his arms around her waist immediately and confined her in front of him, "Grace, don't try to escape. I won't give you an opportunity to escape."

She didn't escape... Just as Caden said back then. If it was not the right person, there was no need to escape.

Suddenly, there was a glimmer of understanding in Grace's mind... It turned out that the reason why the person didn't throw away her palm and let her hold his hand was just because she was not the right person, so he didn’t care her at all.

Thinking about it this way, the more frustrated and bolder she had been for so many years... was just a joke after another.

Franklin frowned...This woman had been in a daze for the third time today.

Unable to say how he felt at the moment, Franklin leaned down and kissed Grace's lips.

"It's Caden Shaw, right?"

Suddenly, he asked.

Grace trembled.

Franklin smiled, but didn’t look pleasant with this smile, "Grace, forget him, no matter what kind of past you and him have, it is painful."

Grace seemed to be sensitive, raised her head and asked, "How can you be sure that it is all painful?"

Franklin stared at Grace who was in his arms... This woman probably didn't know, the expression on her face at the moment was hostile. Franklin hooked his mouth slightly... He thought, "It doesn't matter, he will let her forget the bastard, Caden Shaw."

"Are there any happy things in your past? If so, why do I see despair on your face? "

"..." Grace was speechless and kept silent.
