They reached a climax at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>There were the heavy breaths of the two. The bodies turned active, but the heart was cold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCaden Shaw! I will hate you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The man\u2019s fingers trembled, but he still reached out his hand to wipe away the dense sweats on her forehead. His bottomless eyes were filled with unspeakable mixed feelings that Grace couldn\u2019t understand. However, when she looked at that pair of eyes, her heart, which had been numb for a long time, felt the familiar pains&#8230; She gritted her teeth, confused and regretful. She should have been numb, but why the pain on her heart years ago when he glanced at her with disgusted eyes came back again?<\/p>\n<p>Grace felt on his fingers wiping away the sweats on her forehead&#8230; Slam!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t touch me!\u201d Grace\u2019s cold eyes stared at the man. \u201cMr. Shaw, I will never stop hating you, until I die one day. Even though I forget who I am, and what my name is, I will never forget my hatred to you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ruthless sentence came out from her gritted teeth, word by word. \u201cGrace James hates Caden Shaw!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace James, hates, Caden Shaw!<\/p>\n<p>The man\u2019s pupils shrank fiercely. He covered his left chest with his hand, tightly, and hoped to cover the acute pain on his heart.<\/p>\n<p>Let her go, or let her hate him&#8230; His choice was always the same one, to let her hate him and never let her go!<\/p>\n<p>However, he still couldn\u2019t stand the pain when she said. \u201cGrace James hates Caden Shaw!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou said, you love me, and even though you forget your name one day, you will still remember your love for me&#8230; Grace, you said that!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2018How can you go back on your word?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>How could she change her promise?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t remember that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caden was speechless. He just stared at this ruthless woman.<\/p>\n<p>He was grave, serious, and anxious, but her reply was just \u201cI don\u2019t remember that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He had never felt so painful ever before.<\/p>\n<p>Even the pain he got when she was in a great hurry to escape from him was more comfortable than it now!<\/p>\n<p>There seemed to be a bomb on his heart, and Grace was the blasting fuse. She exploded the bomb&#8230; Bang! It made his heart broken completely.<\/p>\n<p>Caden reached out his finger to touch her chin, lips, nose, and eyes. Suddenly, he covered the eyes full of hatred.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t care.\u201d The deep voice expressed the man\u2019s ruthlessness. \u201cGrace James, you have no right to hate me. Do you think I will care about your feelings and thoughts?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cold words were spatted out without mercy.<\/p>\n<p>But he&#8230;had no other choice!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace James, I\u2019m only interested in your body, so hold back whatever you are thinking about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace\u2019s heart ached suddenly as she got Caden\u2019s pitiless words. Her eyes were covered with the man\u2019s huge palm, so she would never see the pain in the man\u2019s dark eyes.<\/p>\n<p>There were also regret, depression, begging&#8230;and even more suppressed hatred, the hatred to himself!<\/p>\n<p>Rolling around and getting out of the bed, the man bent down and carried the woman in his arms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAh!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For her body hanging in the air, Grace screamed. \u201cCaden Shaw! What are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCaden Shaw! Let me go!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCaden Shaw! I don\u2019t want to go mad with you together!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The man didn\u2019t speak, but just carried her into the bathroom. He threw her in the bathtub, without gentleness, but still didn\u2019t hurt her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s too late.\u201d After throwing the woman into the bathtub, the man\u2019s thin lips curved as he stared at her. \u201cThe hunting has been started. I\u2019m the hunter, and you\u2019re the prey, so I\u2019m the one who dominates the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace James hated Caden Shaw, and she wouldn\u2019t stop hating him until she died, even though she forgot who she was one day&#8230; Since he couldn\u2019t change her mind, let her hate him, for all her life!<\/p>\n<p>Just let her hate him!<\/p>\n<p>It was better for Grace to hate him all her life. That would be the happiest thing for Caden Shaw for the rest of his life&#8230; If only in this way could he entangle her all her life, he would like to accept and enjoy her hatred!<\/p>\n<p>Grace\u2019s face turned pale as she heard the man\u2019s words&#8230; Yes, she was nothing in front of this man!<\/p>\n<p>Caden squatted down and reached out his palm to Grace. The woman wanted to dodge, but was grabbed. Caden raised his head, and started at the woman, with the bottomless eyes able to know everything of her. \u201cAll these twenty years, I can get all that I want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With a crisp sound, Grace groaned slightly. \u201cHiss&#8230;\u201d She raised her eyes up, and started back at him stubbornly&#8230; This madman! She lowered her eyes to check her leg, and found a fingerprint on her leg.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told you, to be obedient, or you\u2019ll suffer a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hate you!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She had said this sentence many times today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhatever.\u201d With the casual word spatted, Caden filled the bathtub with hot water, and then bathed for her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can do this on my own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace intended to snatch the towel in Caden\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n<p>However, Caden dodged smoothly. He continued to bathe the woman as fast as he could. Then he stood up, took a long bath towel from the shelf, covered the woman with it, and then carried her together with the bath towel onto the bed again.<\/p>\n<p>Caden quickly jumped onto the bed, but found the woman sneaked out of bed and strode to the door.<\/p>\n<p>Ha&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Shaw, please remember that you\u2019re sleeping with a murderer on the same bed!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The man\u2019s closed eyes suddenly opened, and turned to stare at the woman beside him. The corner of his lips curved meaningfully. He didn\u2019t speak, but closed his eyes again.<\/p>\n<p>Not so long later, his slight breaths sounded in the darkness.<\/p>\n<p>Grace took the opportunity to get rid of his arm.<\/p>\n<p>However, his arm was as mighty as the pliers, controlling her body tightly and leaving no place for her to struggle.<\/p>\n<p>The night went to be late, and the two persons on the bed became silent. Since she was unable to push him away, Grace had to look at this man, with mixed feelings.<\/p>\n<p>Grace glanced at the bedside table&#8230; She even still kept humorous now. She thought, the stationery must have also stayed with this man longer than her.<\/p>\n<p>How ironic it was!<\/p>\n<p>Had destiny kept a pair of lovers from each other, or destiny had forced two strangers to get close?<\/p>\n<p>No matter which the truth was, destiny must have been kidding them!<\/p>\n<p>They should have stopped being fooled by destiny as soon as possible!<\/p>\n<p>She thought like this, while she reached out her hand that was the only free part of her body to slowly buckle the man\u2019s neck&#8230; Would the destiny be defeated as long as she choked this man to death?<\/p>\n<p>Then she would be free, able to visit Erhai Lake, pay back for the life that she was never able to pay in this life. The trance in her eyes got heavier.<\/p>\n<p>Grace increased her might to squeeze the air in Caden\u2019s throat&#8230; All of a sudden! Her body trembled and her eyes turned bright again. She blankly stared at her hand on his neck&#8230; She&#8230; What had she done!<\/p>\n<p>What was she going to do!<\/p>\n<p>The fear appeared in her eyes, mixed with the tears flowing out!<\/p>\n<p>Grace suddenly loosened her grip, and covered her mouth to hide the sound of sobbing in her throat, just with the hand which had almost killed Caden!<\/p>\n<p>In the silence of the dark night, there was a quiet and intermittent sobbing.<\/p>\n<p>She nervously turned her head aside, and hid it under the pillow&#8230; No watching, no listening, and even no thinking&#8230; But the palm still trembled terribly.<\/p>\n<p>She even didn\u2019t feel her body cold from her head to her toes, trembling in his arms.<\/p>\n<p>The man suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness, and glanced at the woman\u2019s head half covered by the pillow. There was sorrow mixed with gentleness in his eyes&#8230; Silly girl&#8230; He closed his eyes again, and was reluctant to scare the extremely frightened woman.<\/p>\n<p>His hands and feet under the quilt, however, got even tighter to entangle the woman\u2019s feet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1370","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1370","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=1370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
