I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 149

The man stood in front of the cupboard and silently watched the woman crying in the cupboard. His Adam's apple rolled. There were so many words he wanted to say, but he couldn’t say.

Suddenly, he bent his tall body and reached out his arms for her.

"Don't touch me!" She burst out in a hoarse voice. The man saw the hatred in the woman's eyes, and the sharp pain diffused from his heart to his body. He took a look at the woman and continued to reach out to her.

"I told you not to touch me!" Grace looked at Caden like she looked at her enemy. As long as his hands stretched out, she will treat him and herself like a hedgehog.

Caden kept silent and continued to reach out his hand. The next second, his left hand felt a sharp pain. He frowned slightly and glanced at the woman with sharp teeth biting his hand viciously. He was a man who always hurt people, but no one can hurt him. Now he was looking at the woman who was biting him and there was silent approval in his dark eyes.

“Are you happy now?" After a while, the man's deep voice broke the silence of the room.

Hearing this, Grace's pupils dilated, and suddenly raised her head. The man's beautiful face was calm. After a few seconds, she gave a silent wan smile.

Did she feel happy?

She closed her eyes... 'Caden, you don't know me at all.'

She tried her best to calm herself down. Only when she calms down can she stay rational.

"Have you calmed down?" the deep voice said in her ear again.

Grace opened her eyes.

"If you calm down, go to the bathroom, wash yourself up, and then meet me in the study." With that, he walked toward the study and said as he went, "a quarter of an hour, I will only wait for you for a quarter of an hour."

When he turned around, he glanced at Grace, which was meaningful and authoritative. He told Grace to do as he said, even if she didn't want to do.

A quarter of an hour later, she stood in front of the door of the study, hesitated for a moment, raised her hand and was about to knock on the door. Suddenly, the man's unique voice came from inside, "come in."

She was shocked. Why did he know she was outside the door?

She pushed the door open. The man in the study sat behind the desk and pointed to the sofa opposite her. Grace walked over in silence and sat down.

There was a strange silence in the study. The man didn't immediately say anything, but she felt like a nail under her buttocks. She could feel the sharp eyes of the man on her clearly felt even if she was looking at her knee with her head low.

"Deserter." For a long time, a cold voice sounded.

Grace's shoulder trembled abruptly and even she had difficulty in breathing, but she was still staring at her knee.

"Coward." The voice said again coldly without hesitation.

Grace was stunned on the sofa. She still did not say a word, but the tight lips revealed her dissatisfaction.

"Master James protected you so well. You've been living under the protection of Master James. You don't deserve the title ‘founder of Wei’ai Foundation."

Grace, who was sitting on the sofa, was in a state of emotional fluctuation. She suddenly raised her head and retorted angrily, "I can do anything. Why do you say I can't deserve Wei’ai Foundation! Wei’ai Foundation is what I manage and fight for bit by bit!" He can say anything, but this damned man should not say that she don't deserve Wei’ai Foundation!

Caden put his hands behind his head and leaned against the back of his chair. He glanced over grace as if he was saying "Oh, you are wonderful". But in this eye, Grace clearly felt a sense of irony in the contrast and then a deeper level of sarcasm.

"You are a woman, but you want to stand on the battlefield of men. From the beginning, you have to be prepared for all kinds of psychological. The way to fail is not just to fight a losing battle. Not all of your opponents are a gentleman.” The soft voice said the most cruel fact, "when you enter the bloody battle field of the men, you have to understand one thing that in the business, they only care about success. Your opponents will block you in various ways. Just one video, you can't stand it?"
