I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 306

When Cayne heard the word hunter again, he found that He disliked the word more and more.

Her eyes were incomparably clear and rational. At this moment, he felt a sense of embarrassment that was thoroughly seen through by others.

She said there was no difference between the money of the past and the opportunity.

He really wanted to say that they were different.

However, in the next moment, he couldn’t refute it. Was there a difference?

He naturally understood her meaning. If he wasn’t so proficient in words, he could pretend that he didn’t understand.

His hands gradually grew powerless.

There was no warmth in his palm. He stared at the woman’s arm. It was strange that such a thin arm could easily fill the void in his palm.

It was strange that he felt so empty when her arm had disappeared from his palm.

In his eyes, the woman in front of him was vague. It was as if she was just an illusion.

Hunter?

He hated the word.

He could hear her rational response and see her clear eyes.

He also glanced at her black hair all the way down to her waist.

He couldn’t accept it!

He couldn’t accept it at all!

They were so close before. He could even remember the feeling when her hands were in his hands. It was so real!

“You’re wrong.” Cayne said, “You locked yourself in a cage. The name of the cage is the past. Grace, I look forward, but you look back.”

“That is why you’ll never be able to see me from your perspective.”

Cayne said those words unhappily. His heart was filled with eagerness to control everything. He asked her,

“Do you think it is fair to me?”

The woman’s shoulders trembled slightly and her eyelashes gently moved. She opened her pale lips slightly, and wanted to say something. But she didn’t.

Her gaze landed on the man’s angry eyes. Instead, she calmed down.

“If I still have time...” She paused for a moment, and her eyes sparkled slightly. “If I have a choice, I will pretend to be arrogant and find Miffel to give up this opportunity.”

“Huh. You don’t want to owe me a favor, do you?”

“Yes.”

She said silently.

But she didn’t answer him.

“Cayne, anyway, I’m very grateful for your help. Naturally, at the end of the day, I will repay you generously. I will not let you help me for nothing.”

“Damn it. I don’t want your return!”

“But there’s only one thing I want,” the man cursed impatiently. His chest heaved violently as he stared at her.” If you want to thank me, give yourself to me. I won’t accept anything else.”

Her head ached a little. It didn’t make sense.

“Three years ago, I admitted that I was wrong.

Isn’t there a saying in China all will be forgiven if you correct your mistakes?

Do you want to lock yourself in the past forever?

Grace!”

He was rarely agitated. Cayne stared at her back. He was an excellent hunter, and he had always been disciplined. But today, at this moment, he did not want to stick to damn discipline!

He wanted to indulge once!

He said that she was a gambler, but at this moment, he was the gambler.

When she was about to disappear from the door, he rushed over, suddenly hugging her.

Grace suddenly stiffened. She pursed her lips tightly and clenched her hands tightly. She pushed him away. She was not used to the intimacy from others.

She made the instructions in her mind.

Forbidden.

She was a qualified practitioner, and she had to get rid of the embrace behind her. It was warm. There was no doubt that Cayne’s chest was warm. For many years, she had longed for the warmth and it was fine no matter who would give it to her.

But now, after those thousands of days, she was no longer used to being close to others.

Not to mention Cayne.

“I admit that I am despicable, but Grace, please walk out of the cage of the past.”

He mentioned the cage several times. She was inexplicably irritated, and became angry.

“When cage?

When do I live in the past?

Mr. Cayne, I’m afraid you’re hallucinating.

There was no such thing as a cage of the past.

Look at me. I’m fine now.”

She scolded angrily.

She struggled to get out of his embrace.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying. All I know is that I’m fine now.”

“Fine? Really? Grace, you’re a self-deceiving liar! Are you really fine? What about Payne’s illness and the things that happened to your family?”

“Grace, are you really fine?”

The man couldn’t help but say directly. He suddenly stopped talking. He forced himself to calm down, and closed his eyes. He opened his eyes again. However, when he touched her long hair, his eyes lit up and he couldn’t help but blurt out,

“Don’t live in the past?”

Then why do you keep long hair? Who are you waiting for?

Waiting for Caden?

Is he that good?”

Grace’s delicate face turned deathly pale instantly.

“Let go!”

She panicked and became confused. She lost control.

Ran.

Just ran.

Just ran away.

If she escaped, maybe she could forget all this.

If she couldn’t see or hear, then she wouldn’t be in a chaotic state, and she wouldn’t feel suffocating pain.

She thought so, and did so.

The moment when she escaped, Cayne’s eyes were filled with unwillingness!

He didn’t believe it!

He didn’t believe that he was worse than Caden.

Money, power, appearance. He had all of these that a successful man should have.

He never failed to get women he wanted before.

Men’s desire was sometimes really terrifying. It was so terrifying that it made him lose control. Cayne’s eyes were filled with unwillingness. Her struggle aroused the desire that had been suppressed in his heart.

“Aren’t you afraid that I will break the contract? Aren’t you afraid that the cooperation between our two companies will stop?”

Grace took a deep breath. “If you break the contract unilaterally, I’m afraid you’ll have to pay a high penalty.”

She stated the fact calmly.

The man smiled faintly.

“I do need money.”

“However, the reason why the James Group wants to cooperate with me is probably because of our core technology, right?”

“If the capital chain of the James Group is broken, the liquidated damages in my company can’t help you.”

“What the James Group really cares about is the sharing of our core technology after the cooperation. That’s the necessary condition to help the James Group out of trouble, right?”

Grace swallowed her saliva. She didn’t refute. What she and the James Group really valued was indeed the sharing of the core technology after the collaboration.

The trouble of the James Group was not something that could be remedied by a penalty.

“You already knew?” This man was so shrewd. He should have known it. At the beginning of the cooperation, although she did not conceal anything when the contract was signed, at this moment, she felt like someone was clear about her weakness.

“What if it is? And what is your choice?”

His gaze was burning as he stared at her.

Yes, he was despicable.

Cayne didn’t know that at this moment, he was more like a gambler in danger. He was gambling on the last chance, even if it was despicable and insignificant.

Even though he seemed to already know the answer, and even if it was his last chance, he would still move forward.

At this moment, was Cayne really just obsessed with unwillingness and desire to win?

Now, neither of them thought about this question. They did not think about it, nor did they have the time to think about it.

Grace pinched her hand tightly. She almost made herself bleeding.

At this moment, she actually hated Jafar.

Even if Jafar ignored her back then, she was just disappointed, and then told herself that her choice was different from Jafar.

Even when she firstly managed the company, she noticed that Jafar had secretly transferred a lot of cashes, causing the capital chain to break. She had never hated Jafar as much as she did now.

If the capital chain of the James Group hadn’t been broken, then she wouldn’t have had to make such a choice.

It was very difficult to make the choice. On the one hand, there were thousands of employees and thousands of families. People in the hospital were waiting for money to pay for medical fees...

On the one hand, she was at a loss. It was as if she had returned to the Royal Club three years ago and she had become a plaything that she was willing to sell everything in front of money.

Did she have to go back to that?

What should she do?

She took a deep breath and looked ahead, “Are you really going to do this?”

Instead of answering directly, he asked, “Grace, what is your choice?”

She was silent and stretched out her hand. Without saying a word, she opened the door in front of her.

The man behind her suddenly became anxious.

He didn’t believe it!

He refused to admit it!

Even so, couldn’t he make her stay with him?

He abruptly held her head. Looking at her beautiful face, he kissed her lips. The instant he touched her, he was like a child that had obtained the candy he had longed for a long time. He felt a strong sense of trembling and he suddenly trembled.

He tightened his grip on the woman’s head. One second, two seconds, three seconds. An indescribable strange feeling surged out of his heart.

After a while, he stopped and let her go. Looking at her, he met her clear pupils. A flash of pain flashed through his eyes.

“Why aren’t you hiding?”

She looked down gently and said, “Are you satisfied?” Her hoarse words echoed in the confined space.

However, it was like a sharp knife that mercilessly stabbed into the man’s heart.

His face turned pale instantly.

His face turned pale as he stared at her and clenched his teeth tightly. He gritted his teeth and his teeth almost creaked. His arm finally loosened in frustration. He closed his eyes.

It also hid the pain that people could not feel.

His heart ached. He had never had this kind of feeling before in his life.

His heart ached. His ribs ached, and his internal organs ached. His body was really weird. When one place hurt, then each part of his body hurt. Even his back seemed to have been suppressed by something, causing him to feel extremely painful.

As time passed, no one broke the silence. There was only the sound of breathing, which made it even quieter.

The door was opened, making a faint sound.

Suddenly, her arm was tightly gripped. She was shocked and turned around, “You...”
