During meal, the eater Grace was silent, and the other one just looked at her.
The woman ate without saying a word. The man on the other side looked at her quietly with his hands supporting his chin.
Those people who didn’t know would probably think they were a couple for years.
In the dead of night.
According to the weather forecast, there would be arrival of a cold current. It was during this night that it suddenly turned cold.
When Grace heard the rustling sound, she woke up and listened carefully. Only then did she realize that the rustling sound came from under the bed.
She sat up gently and looked under the bed.
She always felt that this man was strange. The sofa in the living room was better than the floor in her bedroom. However, this person was strange. He was willing to lay on the floor in her bedroom instead of sleeping in the living room.
If she could choose, she would sleep on the sofa in the living room.
At this moment, the man under the bed trembled, and his hands wrapped around his body tightly, shrinking like a shrimp.
“Are you awake?” In the dark night, the woman asked slowly.
The bedroom was quiet and there was no response.
“That’s not the way to pretend to be asleep.” She said indifferently.
After a long while, the person on the ground finally rolled over and opened his eyes to look at her awkwardly.
Naturally, in the bedroom, the woman did not see that person’s embarrassing expression at night.
“Grace.” The man whispered to show that he was awake.
The woman on the bed moved, “My feet are cold.”
When he heard this, the man on the ground immediately got up and said, “Are you cold? I’ll help you warm it up, and it won’t be cold anymore.”
She didn’t think about it. Within a moment, her ice-cold feet seemed to be in a heater. Although she had long been accustomed to having her feet cold, she couldn’t help but feel comfortable instantly.
“Recently, have you remembered anything?”
She asked as if she was chatting.
The person at the end of the bed covered her feet as he pressed his fingers on the acupoints of her feet nimbly.
Hearing this, he said indifferently, “Grace is so strange. Ingemar is also strange. You always ask me if I remember anything.”
Have I forgotten anything?”
In the dark night, a pair of bright black eyes looked at her. Grace opened her mouth, but she didn’t know what she should say.
What did he forget?
“Grace, you always ask me whether I remember something. What should I remember?
If I really forgot something, you remembered it. So you should tell me.”
Under the quilt, the woman’s hand clenched for a long time. “Why did you block those sticks for me that night?”
She had always wanted to ask, but she didn’t. Her eyes flashed.
“It hurts, doesn’t it? Caden is the one who’s afraid of pain most. Right?”
She said gently and calmly, and then pursed her lips.
“Yes. Caden is afraid of pain most.”
However, Caden didn’t want Grace to feel any pain.
That night, when Caden saw Grace being beaten, he didn’t know why. He felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to hug her tightly. Caden was more uncomfortable when he saw Grace was in pain.”
Grace’s shoulders stiffened.
Lights shot in from outside the window, and they adapted to the darkness.
