I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 116

When Grace was going out, she saw again under the old banyan the man in while shirt and casual pants.

She was a little surprised, “Mr. Cordon.”

She had not seen him for quite some time.

And today he showed up again.

“Hey, hungry?” The man under the tree walked forward and reached to hold her hand. Grace wanted to avoid but Franklin looked at her, “You know that your strength is much smaller than mine, right?”

The connotation was that she didn’t need to make a useless try.

“Get on the car. I have been busy recently and I miss the beef noodles made by Noah. Accompany me.”

Grace raised her head to look at Franklin in silence and then got on the car...No matter what she wanted to tell him, maybe she should wait until he finished a bowl of noodles.

During the way, they didn’t talk.

Franklin didn’t say anything. He was now a totally different person from the big boy that Grace used to know.

She peeked at Franklin, who was driving, for several times.

Grace was more positive about her assumption...Franklin didn’t look well. Though his face was still charming and clean, his eyelids were swollen and the dark circles below his eyes were so deep, which both couldn’t be hidden.

They got off the car. Just like usual, Grace followed Franklin into the beef noodle restaurant.

When they were eating, Franklin’s phone kept ringing with nonstop messages.

Grace was thinking that she would lay it out with the big boy beside after the meal.

“Mr...” She put down her chopsticks and was about to speak.

Franklin’s phone on the table began ringing again.

This time it was not a message. Franklin looked at the phone and his brows tightened. Then he picked up the phone and stood up, saying to Grace, “Wait a minute. I need to answer this.” Then he walked outside of the restaurant in haste.

Grace looked outside and saw that Franklin seemed to be arguing with someone while kept walking around. She was a bit confused. When Franklin came back, Grace blinked her eyes and clearly observed the anxiety and anger in his eyes.

His brows frowned tighter.

“Mr. Cordon, what happened recently?”

Franklin didn’t expect that Grace, who had always been silent, would ask him such a question.

He raised his head, “Why?”
