I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 310

At night, she could not sleep well. It rained late at night. The raindrops pattered on the window. She tossed and turned.

Hours later, she still did not feel sleepy at all.

She pulled away the quilt and walked down to the ground barefoot, pacing irritably in front of the window.

She put on her nightgown and walked barefoot into the living room. She turned on the TV and found there was a children’s show on TV. She was absent-minded for a moment. It occurred to her that she had not watched TV for a long time.

However, Caden often watched TV.

She lay on the sofa like Caden usually did. She was surprised by the cartoon named “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf” on the screen.

Wolves eat sheep. This was the law of the jungle. Did he watched this cartoon every day?

A noise came from outside.

Grace got alert.

She listened carefully for minutes. She was sure that she heard a noise.

Was there a thief?

But that was impossible. Caden agreed to let her move out of the manor of the Shaw Family because the security measures were pretty good here.

Maybe there was a cat, or a dog, or a kid.

She opened the door.

...

She was shocked.

It was Caden!

Her heart beat fast.

They looked at each other for nearly five minutes, with no words.

She seemed to be calm.

However, when she saw his pleading eyes, she started to melt down.

She turned around and walked into her department.

The door wasn’t closed.

She didn’t look back or checked if he had come in. She walked into the bedroom and brought out a bathrobe and towel. When she returned to the living room, there was nobody. She looked at the door. He was standing there, staring at her.

She silently walked to the door and handed the towel and bathrobe to him.

She turned around again.

Just then, she saw the happiness in his eyes when he took the towel and bathrobe from her.

“Grace, you’re so nice.”

Suddenly, Caden’s voice appeared.

She stopped at the door of her bedroom and clenched her fist.

Then she entered her bedroom, ignoring all the sounds outside.

After she closed the door, she didn’t pretend to be cool anymore. She powerlessly leaned against the door … Caden, what should I do?

She never asked him why he showed up and why he came back.

Never!

Grace held her phone. She couldn’t identify whether the sound she heard came from the bathroom or the rain.

She knew that Ingemar would take him away as long as she called him.

And she wouldn’t have to suffer from the mixed feelings.

Nor would she hate herself.

She knew all she needed to do was to make a phone call.

She clenched her phone, her hands were sweating.

She closed her eyes … At that moment, no one knew what she was thinking.

Time passed bit by bit. Her eyes suddenly opened. She stepped on the floor barefoot and walked towards the window. As she passed by the bed, she threw her mobile phone onto the bed.

The screen of her phone was still on. It was the interface of the address book which displayed a name “Ingemar”. He called her.

She opened the window, and then the wind blew the rain into the room and rain dropped on her face and body.

“The storm didn’t come at the right time.” She murmured in a low voice.

She looked outside before the window in concentration. She was so focused that she didn’t noticed that the sound of water in bathroom wasn’t running anymore.

Much later, she suddenly heard a noise. She looked back and saw Caden standing at the door.

She was not sure but she actually felt that he had been standing there for a long time.

At that moment, they didn’t know what to say, as if they were a couple that had been married for years.

They had got nothing to say.

She turned around, held her blanket, and walked out.

Just as she reached the door, Caden grabbed her hand.

“Grace, where are you going?”

He asked worriedly in deep voice.

Grace almost laughed out. How ridiculous and ironic the question was!

He hurriedly took the blanket from her and pushed her into the bedroom. Then he closed the door and said, “I’ll sleep in the living room.”

They had no more words all night.

Early in the morning, they continued their normal boring life.

When Grace opened the door, the fragrance of the food floated into the bedroom from the living room. After she dressed up, she sat down and ate breakfast.

Caden had fewer words than before. But Grace could still sense the passion in his eyes.
