In the wind and rain, a woman came out of the Royal International Entertainment Club and walked into the storm. The umbrella was found in the locker. No matter how hateful that man was, a word he said was right.
She was a deserter, a coward.
But she was unreconciled.
She walked to the curb and saw that there was already a black Bentley waiting there.
She recognized the owner of the car at a glance. Who else but the arrogant Caden?
She walked over, and the car window rolled down, revealing the driver's face.
"Miss James, get in the car, please." Ladd got out of the car, went around the back seat and opened the door.
She got into the car and Ladd returned to the driver's seat.
"He asked you to come here?"
Ladd heard the sound of the back seat and looked up at the rearview mirror. The woman in the back seat was in the rearview mirror. The woman was quiet, turned her face to the side and looked out of the window.
Ladd couldn't understand the woman. Just two hours ago, she rushed out of the building with a look of madness. At that time, a strong sense of despair in her body almost overflew. He, the 180 strong man, can clearly feel the despair and fear from her heart.
Ladd glanced carefully at the woman in the rearview mirror again... She was too quiet right now.
"Well, Mr. Shaw asked me to drive downstairs and wait for you."
Grace looked out of the window. In fact, she couldn't see the view clearly. The rain had wet the window and it was blurred. But she was distracted. The car drove smoothly onto the road until she got off the car. Ladd didn't understand the woman's mind in the back seat.
Having seen her despair, he then witnessed her silence with his own eyes... The disparity was eerie.
"We're here, Miss James."
Grace rolled down the window slowly and saw clearly the gold words of "Wei'ai foundation" not far away. She curved her lips, "I didn't say I would come to Wei'ai foundation."
"Boss said that no matter where Miss James is going, you have to come to the Wei'ai foundation first."
"Go to Zero Degrees Cafe."
"But Boss..."
Ladd was just about to object when he heard the crunchy voice in the back of the car saying slowly, "or, I'll go to myself."
Ladd's mouth twitched and he saw Grace pushed the door open.
"Wait, Miss James. I'll take you there."
The car drove on the road again. After a while, it reached Zero Degrees Cafe. Grace pushed the door and got out of the car. She didn't care if Ladd would call the person to report.
In a room in the cafe.
With the sound, the door opened. The man in the box raised his head and cynically chuckled, "long time no see, you are more capable."
Grace looked down at her feet and kept silent, waiting for his next taunt.
“You are more capable in seducing man.”
When Franklin said these words, Grace was not surprised. She lowered her head and looked at the ground. What Franklin couldn't see was that she gently raised the corners of her lips. The sharp pain in her eyes had not yet been found and had disappeared, "Franklin."
Grace, who had always called him "Mr. Cordon", actually called his name today. The man was furious, "who allowed you to call my name? I just feel sick to hear you call my name.”

The readers' comments on the novel: I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden)
How can a woman suffer so much? How can a man be too cruel initially robbing her of dignity and all, then deceiving her after he knows he loves her? How can they not remarry, making their offspring illegitimate? The line between love and hatred is truly fine indeed! Thank you for this story....
