Chapter 78
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 78<\/p>\n
In the midnight<\/p>\n
Grace went back to the South Bay House alone and went downstairs to her dormitory. But when she got to the second floor, she found that the corridor light was not working.<\/p>\n
Grace glanced at the light, and thought that only the light of this floor was broken, and then carefully groped her way upstairs. But when she arrived at the third floor, she found that the light of this floor was also broken.<\/p>\n
She took out her phone and turned on the flashlight to illuminate the way to her dormitory.<\/p>\n
When she finally reached her dormitory, she saw a person at the door and shivered slightly, \u201cMr. Cayne, why are you here?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been waiting for you for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026\u201d Oh please! What she was asking was that why he was here, not how long he had been waiting for her.<\/p>\n
\u201cWh\u2026 What\u2019s the matter?\u201d Grace, with the key at her hand, didn\u2019t intend to open the door in the face of Cayne. She had always been vigilant\u2026 Cayne noticed it and knew why she would be like this, and he felt a bit\u2026 excited.<\/p>\n
Hmm\u2026 It must be good to win the favor of a defensive prey.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m hungry.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026 What?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI said,\u201d Cayne rubbed his belly and continued, \u201cI have eaten nothing this livelong day, so I\u2019m hungry.\u201d<\/p>\n
He was hungry\u2026 But why did he come to her?<\/p>\n
Grace couldn\u2019t figure out the reason and was a bit confused, \u201cThen you should go and have night snack.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, you\u2019re right; so I came to you for night snack.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou came\u2026 for night snack?\u201d Grace emphasized the word \u2018came\u2019.<\/p>\n
Where did he come to?<\/p>\n
To her dormitory?<\/p>\n
So he meant\u2026 \u201cDo you mean that you specially waited for me at the door of my dormitory, just because you wanted me to make dinner snack for you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, you\u2019re so smart.\u201d<\/p>\n
Please! This had nothing to do with her intelligence!<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t have it for free.\u201d<\/p>\n
He casually took out a cheque and filled in some numbers, \u201cTake it. I want to eat the noodles with scallion oil you made for me last night.\u201d<\/p>\n
A complicated feeling flashed across Grace\u2019s eyes when she glanced at the number on the cheque\u2026 What was this man\u2019s purpose? Why did he approach her intentionally?<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t figure it out. But\u2026 Grace peeked at the cheque again and two little fairies began to quarrel in her mind.<\/p>\n
One said: Don\u2019t take the cheque and don\u2019t meet him any longer.<\/p>\n
One said: Just take it. You\u2019re in short of money after all. You need it to redeem your future, right?<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss James? Miss James?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cayne looked at the woman, whose mind had drifted away, in front of him and called her name.<\/p>\n
Grace, who was in a trance, finally came to her own sense. She lowered her eyes and her gaze happened to land on the cheque. After a long while, she reached out shivering and took the cheque.<\/p>\n
A trace of smile crept on Cayne\u2019s brown eyes\u2026 As expected, money was her Achilles’ heel.<\/p>\n
Some people may feel confused: What\u2019s the interesting point of a gold digger?<\/p>\n
Cayne would not be bothered by this kind of question\u2026 As for him, this woman was really interesting.<\/p>\n
She was so interesting that he had a hunch that he would not feel boring during next two months in the S City. As for two months later when he left, what this woman called Grace would suffer\u2026 Oh, he had never thought of this. Anyway, he must have won her heart when he left two months later. Then this woman\u2019s would be added to his \u2018Hunted List\u2019. That would be the only result.<\/p>\n
With a cracking sound, Grace opened the door of her dormitory, \u201cMr. Cayne, please come in and have a seat. I\u2019ll go and make night snack for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJust let it be! It\u2019s none of your business!\u201d She felt a tidal surge of emotions in heart and her cheeks flushed with anger. Grace glared at the stunning hunk in front of her, \u201cMr. Cayne, please don\u2019t kiss my forehead again!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI see\u2026\u201d Cayne said softly, and then joked, \u201cI can\u2019t kiss you on your forehead, but then where am I supposed to kiss? Here?\u201d<\/p>\n
After finishing the words, he stooped down and rapidly kissed Grace on her lips.<\/p>\n
Grace\u2019s expression changed quickly. She suddenly asked, \u201cMr. Cayne, is the kiss included in the one hundred thousand you paid me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cayne almost failed to hold back his laughter. The woman standing in front of him appeared to be meek, but it turned out that she was a little wild cat. Then\u2026 Things would be more interesting.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe kiss is not included. But it includes the kiss on your forehead just now.\u201d He replied with pleasure and then walked out of the door, waving, \u201cMiss James, no need to send me off. I\u2019m so delighted tonight. Thank you for your hospitality.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace closed the door until she couldn\u2019t hear Cayne\u2019s footsteps from the corridor.<\/p>\n
She caressed her forehead\u2026 It was aching.<\/p>\n
But the doctor had told her that the she was recovering well and the injury would be healed soon.<\/p>\n
Grace walked into the washroom and unfastened her clothes one by one. When the last layer of clothe was removed, her skinny and ugly body, which was full of hickeys, was revealed in the air.<\/p>\n
In addition to the hickeys, some parts of her skin had been grazed by the bath towel\u2026 But the hickeys still remained on her body. She couldn\u2019t wipe them off no matter how much might she had used.<\/p>\n
At the downstairs, Cayne was not in a hurry to leave; instead, he looked up at the illuminated house through the window.<\/p>\n
He took out a silky handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his mouth again and again while walking, and then threw the handkerchief into a trash can with disgust when he walked pass it.<\/p>\n
Leon once commented Cayne like this: Cayne was asking for sufferings. He knew that he would feel uncomfortable and disgusted when kissing others on the lips, but every time when he changed his prey, or precisely, the woman he wanted to chase after, he would pretend to be affectionate by kissing her on her lips, which would in the end disgust himself.<\/p>\n
In the eyes of others, Cayne was a handsome, rich womanizer, but many women were still eager to have a romantic relation with him. But they didn\u2019t know that Cayne was indeed a bigoted, unfaithful and cold-hearted man.<\/p>\n
The amorous Cayne was the most indifferent person.<\/p>\n
Cayne\u2019s car had been parked by the roadside. He pulled open the door, seated himself in the driver\u2019s seat, and then gunned the car without even looking back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1283","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1283","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=1283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
