I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 5

 

Grace had lingering fears, but before she could be rejoiced, she suddenly realized that she was being intimately hugged by a strange man.

 

"Ah...' Grace was panicked. Except for her brother, she had never been hugged so intimately by any man...including...him.

 

Franklin Gordons face turned dark. He stretched out his other hand, and quickly covered Grace's mouth. “Shut up! You are a weird woman! Normal people will instinctively call out in shock if they fall. You didn't scream when you fell, bụt now yoưre screaming!"

 

"You, you...you let me go first.”

 

Seeing her stammering and suspicious appearance, an idea occurred to Franklin, 'Hey, you screamed because I hugged you, did you?” Franklin looked at the woman in his arms and her expression was abnormal for a moment. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

 

”,.„.lf seems to be so." As his eyes rolled, Franklin smiled weirdly, 'Hey, woman, haven't you been hugged by a man like this?"

 

Franklin thought that the woman's reaction was very interesting. Looking at the red ears of the woman in his arms, he wanted to do something mischievous. His hand that hugged Grace's waist deliberately tightened.

 

Huh!

 

Franklin looked at the blushing face of the woman, as if he had found something interesting... There were still women who would blush after being hugged around the waist these days! What a novelty! So funny!

 

Franklin was very excited.

 

Hugging Grace, he deliberately pinched her waist. This feeling of touching the fabric was weird. Franklin didn't care about gentleman's demeanor. He stretched his fingers to the hem of Grace s clothes and quickly reached into her clothes. This touch made his heart tremble.

 

"What are you doing?"

 

Grace struggled to push Franklin away. Franklin looked at Grace with a stunned look, "Your waist.... He didn't know what to say. In the touch just now, did he touch the waist of a normal woman?

 

Franklin was a lover of the masses. There were so many women he had been with. Among them, there were many international supermodels and celebrities, but the waist he touched just now was thinner than the thinnest waist among the women he had been with. She was so thin that he could encircle most of her waist with one hand!

 

"You... He moved his lips several times, wanting to say, “It turns out that you wear so many clothes because of this on a hot day”. When he saw the pain in the eyes of the strange woman but she still pretended to be calm, when he saw her expression that she wanted to accuse but still pretended to be humble, he didn't know what to say.

 

Many years later, Franklin couldrt forget the look in Grace s face at this time. He still couldn't understand how a person's eyes can be both ostentatious and humble, mixing two completely opposite emotions together.

 

What kind of things had she gone through to give her the two completely different emotions?

 

Grace pushed Franklin away and ran away. She couldn't run fast at all, and fell down within several steps. She didn't care at all. She propped up, supported the wall, and moved away from Franklin as quickly as possible.

 

Her thoughts were messed up... As if the most unbearable thing was discovered.

 

After being released from prison, she wanted to live a peaceful life, to have a full meal, to have a place to sleep and to be self-sufficient. She hoped that she could save some money to go to Erhai Lake. She hoped that she could see the clarity and blueness that could never be seen in the prison.

 

She could no longer withstand any storms.

 

Franklin wanted to help her, but as long as he walked fast, the woman seemed to walk faster. She held on to the wall, half-dragging her body in a panic.
