I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 252

Franklin was in Yunnan.

He saw the woman.

He wanted to get close, but he couldn’t move forward.

At night.

It was occasionally windy in Erhai Lake at night

Along the road opposite Memory Inn, there was always a car parked.

Sometimes it was a taxi, and sometimes it was a private car. There were different cars and license plate numbers. There must be the same person inside, Franklin.

He didn’t dare to approach the lodgings.

Because she was there.

The wind tonight was very strong.

“Sir, we arrive.” The driver was impatient. This was a strange customer. It was the third time he had received an order from this person.

Every time, the destination was the same.

Every time, he was silent all the way.

Every time he arrived at his destination, he would stare in one direction in a daze.

“Sir, if you want to stay, you can put up for the night now.”

The driver urged.

He just didn’t understand what these young people were thinking.

The man in the back seat said,” What if I want to drink?”

The driver was stunned, “Do you … lose your love?” Pointing to the lodgings outside the window, he said, “Does your girlfriend work in that lodging?” Was that why he always stared at that lodging in a daze?

Franklin did not say anything, but the driver became sympathetic. He sighed, “You little youths don’t cherish what you have. You’ll regret it when you lose it.”

The person in the back seat looked at Memory Inn and laughed at himself… Yes, he didn’t cherish her when he had her.

That woman had ever trusted him with all her heart.

She also smiled at him.

At that time, if he hadn’t harmed her so maliciously, would she continue being with him in such a daze for the rest of her life?

Even if she didn’t love him, she would still be able to spend a lifetime.

Could it be that at this time, there was no longer any relationship between Caden and her.

If he hadn’t acted so ruthlessly at that time, then… there wouldn’t have been any room left!

There was no if…

In his entire life, he had been moved by a woman.

Someone told him that the woman had done such a thing, and the evidence was placed in front of him. He could not help but believe that she was self-depraved and extremely vicious.

Was that Grace he knew?

He was shocked. After being shocked, he was angry. He was angry that she had lied to him and acted so beautifully in front of him!

He could not stand it as she was not the girl he liked. He was so furious that he took it out on her maliciously.

He inflicted all his malice on her.

Now that he thought about it, the one who was most unbearable was himself.

Afterwards, he was at a loss.

Thinking back to that time, what appeared in his mind was not the woman’s embarrassment, but it faintly occurred to him … Even if she really did it, what was the point then?

He also felt that this idea was too ridiculous. Thinking of that kind of thing, and that she had even been in prison, Franklin could not take it as if nothing had happened.

He was struggling and swaying.

He lied to himself and said, “Isn’t she just a bitch?”

As he said this, he paid close attention to her every moment.

Hypocrisy!

How hypocritical!

Franklin mocked himself.

“Young man, calm down.” The driver looked at the person in the rear through the rearview mirror and hurriedly tried to persuade him.

Franklin looked up at the rearview mirror. In the rearview mirror, he revealed an ugly smile to the driver, “Let’s go.”

He didn’t know!

“Where are you going?”

“Where is the liveliest place?”

“Now?” After pondering for a while, the driver laughed heroically, “The bar in Lijiang Ancient City. But it will take us two hours to drive. Do you want to go?”

“Go! Why not?” Franklin also laughed, sarcastically.

“The fare…”

Just as the driver said those two words, a stack of bills was stuffed directly into his hand from behind him, “The liveliest bar.”

The driver was surprised, “Alright! I’ll bring you to the liveliest place!”

Tonight, it was much enough for a week’s living expenses.

They went to Lijiang.

There were also small bars in Lijiang Ancient City, but it was basically eleven o’clock and they closed one after another. This was the rule in Lijiang Ancient City.

Outside the ancient city, several large bars were still bustling with activity.

The later it was, the more beautiful the scenery was.

Different from the bars in the metropolis, the liveliness here, apart from the music from the machines, also added a bit of the peculiar style. As if they lived in an ancient city.

On the dance floor, there were crowds of people, young and old.

Frequent flickering lights pulled the dancing crowd out of the dance floor. They all danced crazily. They were as crazy as madmen. They waved their heads and turned their hips drunkenly. The long hair that the girls had carefully groomed, was either straight or curled. It had now become their crazy witness. They frantically danced.

Franklin drank cup after cup.

He drank as hurriedly as he missed the woman at the moment.

Only if he kept drinking could he feel better.

What he feared the most was total loss.

He couldn’t see the hope.

Someone bumped into him.

Thousands of dollars foreign wine fell to the ground on the table, and the liquor was scattered everywhere.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.”

Franklin did not say anything. The manager of the bar happened to be at the side. He immediately scolded, “What are you doing? Go bow and apologize to the guest.”

After the manager scolded coldly, he turned to Franklin and said, “I’m really sorry. This cleaner has just arrived at the bar and is clumsy. She broke your wine and we’ll compensate you for another bottle.” The money was actually deducted from the cleaner’s salary for breaking the bottle.

When the cleaner heard the manager’s words, she immediately turned pale. However, she was forced by the manager’s power and didn’t dare to say anything else.

She hurriedly came over and bowed to Franklin to apologize.

“Wait a moment.” Someone was firmly pressing on the cleaner’s shoulder, and the cleaner trembled in fear.

She carefully looked up, but her heart beat unsteadily.

Franklin stared at the cleaner in front of him. The manager thought, “Don’t tell me he has taken a fancy to such a cleaner?”

His taste was too “extraordinary”.

“What is your name?”

“Kristina.”

“Gra … Grace?” Franklin was shocked, “Grace?”

The manager stepped forward, “Sir, I’ll have someone fetch you another bottle of wine…”

“Forget it. It’s just a bottle of wine. I don’t care if it is shatters. There’s not much left,” Franklin understood the rules and said indifferently. He knew that the cost would still be on this cleaner.
