I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 83

“Grace, you are not the girl you used to be.”

Grace’s face froze, “Gloria…”

“Grace, don’t you notice yourself that you are no more reserved and stiff? Before that, you looked so listless, but now you make me feel like you have come back to life.”

Grace tried to respond.

“Grace, who brought you back to life? Is that the man named Cayne?” However, Gloria did not look happy or satisfied for Grace’s revival at all, but scolded her.

“You should know he bears an evil intention to get close to you.”

Gloria was quite aware of the change of Grace at the beginning, but the man who tried to get close to her was a man with evil intention.

Gloria spoke with difficulty, “I will arrange a new dorm for you. And please promise me you will never meet him again.”

“No!” Grace refused immediately while clenching her fists. But she also noticed the disappointment hidden in Gloria’s eyes. Grace continued, “Gloria, I don’t want to change a new dorm. I promise I will never meet him as long as I get five million in total.”

Gloria gritted, “Grace, don’t regret it since you insist.” She glared at Grace and shouted. Then she left the office to avoid seeing Grace again.

Grace stood still in the office, and the warning from Gloria kept lingering in her mind. Of course she knew that Cayne approached her for evil intention.

“But I just can’t stop myself from being greedy. I want to have the same kind of feelings as a human.” Grace was also aware that she should stay away from Cayne. But his appearance in her life brought her something different and even enlightened her life.

Her wound used to be a taboo prohibited for anyone to touch, but now she even allowed Cayne to touch her wound a bit.

Then, what about that man? Could she also dissolve the feud with him bit by bit in the same way? Just as what she did to her own wound.

Grace was clear that Cayne was poison, but she was still willing to take that poison. She did it not because of affection or love, but the itch to leave like a normal woman aboveboard.

She knew herself started to live like a normal woman just as anyone else and she had abandoned herself as a walking dead before. And she noticed it was Cayne who changed her from the date he appeared in front of her dorm and the kiss every time he offered on her wound.

There were only two days left before the deal between Grace and Caden ended. Just as usual, Cayne finished what he should do and was about to leave the dorm, but he was stopped by a hoarse voice, “Wait!”

“Anything else?”

He turned to look at the woman behind him, who remained silent. He noticed Grace was occupied with trouble. But he still waited for her to speak out.

“Well…” Grace stood in front of Cayne with her both palms drenched with sweat.

“Just say it. It’s okay. I am listening.”

Cayne was gentle enough to wait for her words. But Grace still failed to tell him what she wanted to convey though she had been excogitating in her mind for a few days.
