To him, pulling out a needle was as easy as a pie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGet up,\u201d said Caden to Grace plainly after he pulled out the needle, \u201cHow long do you plan to stay here? Go back to where you came from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was driving her away.<\/p>\n<p>Grace hung her head low, she quietly sat up and tried to push herself off the bed, she stood wobbly on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShoes.\u201d He threw an obviously large pair of shoes to her, it was probably his shoes.<\/p>\n<p>Grace stared at her feet and said, \u201cWhere are mine?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caden folded his arms, he sneered at Grace, \u201cI told you already. You went to work not knowing your own condition and fainted at Gloria\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou troubled the company to call you a doctor and put on an IV drip for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut my shoes\u2026\u201d Grace couldn\u2019t understand what did this have to do with her missing shoes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said, you fainted at Gloria\u2019s. Don\u2019t tell me that you thought I was the one that carried you to my room and called the doctor for you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was Gloria?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, Gloria is just too soft-hearted, she called the doctor for you and put you on a drip. Your shoes are probably at her place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou were originally at the Royal Club\u2019s general manager\u2019s office, it would ruin our reputation for you, a nobody, to be lying around in there and having the IV drip on you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnly my place was most suitable to let you rest temporarily.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caden talked so much today and he didn\u2019t even realize, when added up it was more than he ever talked last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t take you in willingly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace hung her head low and was silent again. Of course, she knew how much Caden hated her and that he treated her like an annoyance.<\/p>\n<p>She knew it very well that he despised her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you, Mr. Shaw, and\u2026 I\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thank you and sorry were the only things she could say to him.<\/p>\n<p>Would she be more expressive if it were Leon or Franklin instead?<\/p>\n<p>But the thought of it made her all frantic again, the anger inside her was reignited even though it was completely extinguished just a few moments ago!<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, Caden hold out his long arms and pulled her towards him, she was in his arms. Before Grace could react, his hand slid down to her skinny waist and Grace\u2019s face immediately turned as pale as a sheet. She could clearly feel Caden\u2019s warmth from his palm on the right side of her waist.<\/p>\n<p>Who did Caden think he was?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTell me, why did Franklin know that one of your kidneys was missing?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace stopped breathing!<\/p>\n<p>What Caden said made her head spun, she felt faint and listless.<\/p>\n<p>Caden looked at her and a flash of jealousy appeared in his eyes, even though he didn\u2019t notice it himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me tell you!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace was all zoned out, how did Caden found out that Franklin knew about her secret?<\/p>\n<p>Did he investigate her? The thought of it made her felt unspeakable rage out of the blue.<\/p>\n<p>Why! Why!<\/p>\n<p>Why could he do whatever he wanted to her?!<\/p>\n<p>Even if she was a convict under labour reform, even if she went to prison!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re not saying anything?\u201d Caden was also boiling with anger.<\/p>\n<p>He squinted his eyes\u2026 Was there something going on between her and Franklin?<\/p>\n<p>How dare she said that she was willing to let young master Cordon have his way with her again?<\/p>\n<p>Did she want to make love to young master Cordon?<\/p>\n<p>How could she spout the word \u201cmaking love\u201d so shamelessly?<\/p>\n<p>His anger was piling up in his heart, every sentence she said, added fuel to the fire. Finally, Caden couldn\u2019t stand it anymore and shut her annoying mouth up by kissing it ever so forcefully.<\/p>\n<p>He thought about what Grace said about Franklin kisses the whole time he was kissing her. She said that she longed for his kisses always.<\/p>\n<p>They shared a lingering kiss and Grace caved in. It wasn\u2019t as if he never kissed her before, but his kisses today were different than last time.<\/p>\n<p>Their breathing got warmer and she felt like she was drowning from his kisses.<\/p>\n<p>Her brain was all mushy, she whimpered unintentionally.<\/p>\n<p>Her whimper was like an aphrodisiac to the atmosphere, the anger in Caden\u2019s eyes turned into lust, he quickly pushed her onto the bed.<\/p>\n<p>She was tender and delicate, she already spent a lot of energy spouting all those nonsense just now. She could never win in a real fight.<\/p>\n<p>But she never would\u2019ve thought that in the end\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Caden didn\u2019t do it all the way, it wasn\u2019t like he didn\u2019t want to, but he suddenly thought of how fragile her body was and that she already went through a lot today.<\/p>\n<p>He hurriedly stood up, Grace was still lying on the bed and her eyes were glossy. It ignited the lust in him, but he said coldly instead, \u201cYou\u2019re shining with happiness, you really thought that I would make love to you? A woman like you is enough after just one time, not to mention that\u2026 Grace, you\u2019re filthy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He strode out of the bedroom upon finishing his sentence. Grace was still lying on the bed, her face as white as a sheet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA woman like you was enough after just one time, not to mention that you are filthy.\u201d What he said repeated in her mind, he was probably only curious about how it would feel like making love to an ex-convict.<\/p>\n<p>In his eyes, Grace was plain and had no merits. She shouldn\u2019t be sad about it, the same thing happened three years ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace, you\u2019re filthy\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShut up!\u201d She covered her ears and tried to mute the sound repeating in her mind!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShut up! You shut up! Shut up!\u201d She felt miserable, but she didn\u2019t dare to yell out loud. She suppressed her voice and screamed soundlessly!<\/p>\n<p>She made a repeated low pitch and deep sound as she suppressed her voice. She found it to breathe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1272","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
