Chapter 166
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 166<\/p>\n
With time passing fast, it was a week later after that night.<\/p>\n
In the Shaw Group, as soon as it was the off-duty time, the man quickly took the car key on the desk and was in a hurry to the underground parking.<\/p>\n
The car was started and rushed out of the underground parking so fast, but it was even much slower than the man\u2019s heart that already went back home.<\/p>\n
The Shaw Manor, in the twilight of the winter, was experiencing the silence of the nightfall. The day got dark fast, and there were only the road lamps lighting in the darkness. The darkness brought more graveness to the black iron gate, making the whole manor lifeless and ponderous.<\/p>\n
The black Bentley car, with the bright headlamp turning on, sped into the gate still being opened. On the road that the car had rushed over just now, the dead leaves that the gardener even had still not cleaned up fallen down on the ground again after being blown to the air vortically.<\/p>\n
Opening the door, the man strode into the house. His straight and strong figure was just proportional. God had favored the man so much that even any of his hair was perfect.<\/p>\n
\u201cSir, welcome back.\u201d The old butler stood in the hallway as usual, and took over the man\u2019s bag politely. Then he handed the man a velvet towel. The man took the warm and wet towel with his slender fingers, then wiped his face casually, and threw it back to the old butler. \u201cWhere is her?\u201d<\/p>\n
The old butler paused his action as he heard this brief question, but he hid his pause well. He became the businesslike, upright and qualified butler again after one second. \u201cMiss James is in her bedroom.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe didn\u2019t go downstairs all day?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The man squinted his cold eyes. \u201cShe didn\u2019t have lunch, too.\u201d<\/p>\n
The old butler lowered his eyes. \u201cMiss James refuses to come out of her bedroom, so I had to put lunch at the door.\u201d<\/p>\n
The man nodded, and his face was drawn. \u201cTen minutes later, put the dinner at the door.\u201d<\/p>\n
After such a brief order, the man made his way to go upstairs, while his paces were rushed.<\/p>\n
He got to the door of the bedroom, and glanced at the food on the dining car at the door… He frowned slightly… She refused to eat again.<\/p>\n
The man knocked at the door, but there was no answer inside. He already got used to this situation, which was common all these days of this week.<\/p>\n
He grabbed the doorknob, pressed it, and pushed the door open.<\/p>\n
As he opened the door and looked around the room, his heart almost jumped out of his body.<\/p>\n
Caden Shaw\u2019s complexion changed a lot. \u201cGrace James! Come down!\u201d<\/p>\n
He shouted with anxiety!<\/p>\n
On the sill, the woman sat there, her feet hanging in the air out of the window, and swaying.<\/p>\n
She heard the man\u2019s voice, so her head turned around.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace! Calm down… Get down of there!\u201d Caden\u2019s face was full of anxiety.<\/p>\n
However, the woman glanced at him, and then turned her head back again indifferently, and showed him the round back of her head.<\/p>\n
Her feet were still swaying in the air, and her ears turned deaf to his shouting.<\/p>\n
Caden cautiously raised his feet and walked to Grace.<\/p>\n
Grace didn\u2019t move a little, which pacified Caden. It seemed that this woman also didn\u2019t want to die.<\/p>\n
He suddenly grabbed her waist, held her up, and threw her on the bed. \u201cDon\u2019t you know it\u2019s too dangerous just now?\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace raised her head indifferently, and her lips opened a little and closed fast, leaving only three words in the air. \u201cIt\u2019s funny.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace James still glared at him. \u201cWhat\u2019s my mistake? I\u2019m not a kid!\u201d<\/p>\n
Just at this moment, someone knocked at the door of the bedroom. \u201cSir? May I come in?\u201d<\/p>\n
The two in the room were both shocked. The man quickly pulled the quilt over and covered the woman\u2019s body on his leg, and then said casually. \u201cCome in.\u201d<\/p>\n
The old butler came in with the dining car.<\/p>\n
The door of the bedroom was half-open just now, all because Caden came in such a hurry and didn\u2019t close it. Therefore, the old butler must have heard their conversation just now.<\/p>\n
The old butler even didn\u2019t glance anywhere. He just pushed the dinning car forward and stopped it by the bed. \u201cSir, what can I do for you?\u201d He asked respectfully.<\/p>\n
Caden waved his hand. \u201cNothing else.\u201d<\/p>\n
The butler bowed and then left. However, at the moment after he turned around, his grave poker face became ferocious, and his fists hanging by his body were clenched tightly… What position had his dear Wallis kept in Caden Shaw\u2019s world?<\/p>\n
Even when Wallis Venus was alive, Mr. Shaw had never treated her as considerately as he did to that woman, Grace James! All his behaviors in front of Wallis were polite and gentle, but he had never been so close to Wallis!<\/p>\n
His Wallis…couldn\u2019t die such secretly. The old butler wouldn\u2019t allow his dear daughter\u2019s image to be wiped away in Mr. Shaw\u2019s memories!<\/p>\n
As long as… As long as that evil woman died, everything would be okay.<\/p>\n
The old butler took out his mobile phone, and dialed the phone number that he seldom dialed. This phone number was the most familiar phone number for him, except for Caden\u2019s.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want her to die!\u201d<\/p>\n
The one on the phone was stunned, and then chuckled. \u201cWhy should I help you?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1371","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1371","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=1371"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
