Chapter 218
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 218<\/p>\n
Kern smirked, as it was as expected.<\/p>\n
It was as expected that there was something about the tea set.<\/p>\n
He glanced at the back of his hand. It was still red, but the redness was slowly fading, it was only vaguely visible.<\/p>\n
He squinted his black eyes and smiled cunningly. Kern has a large build, he stood next to a pickup truck with his back against the main street. He was facing the door of the driver\u2019s seat with his head down. Nobody knew what he was up to.<\/p>\n
If a person walked pass him right now, the person would see a man slightly shifting his arms all stirred up.<\/p>\n
Kern rubbed the back of his hand again intensely, he frowned and wasn\u2019t too pleased. He gritted his teeth and decided to pinch the back of his hand, he frantically twisted it 270 degrees. He then put his hand in the sun. Yes, now he was pleased!<\/p>\n
He closed the car door happily and walked back towards the woman.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you put the item in place?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt took you a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not familiar with the area and I made a wrong turn just now.\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman asked a question after another and Kern answered.<\/p>\n
Both of them walked to the main street.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat type of reclining chair are you looking for?\u201d asked the woman slow and steadily.<\/p>\n
\u201cI like the one you have.\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman nodded, \u201cOkay, I\u2019ll just bring you directly to the shop I bought the chair from. They are craftsmen, the shop was passed from a generation to the next. It is on the expensive side, but it is definitely worth the price.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah.\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman babbled as they walked.<\/p>\n
When other pedestrians walked pass them, all they could see was Kern, a handsome man with a large build walking in the woman\u2019s pace. He followed behind with tiny steps, dancing to her tune. At times he would lower his eyes and his brows as he stared gently at the woman who was significantly shorter than him.<\/p>\n
His eyes were filled with warmth and gentleness.<\/p>\n
They walked into a furniture shop and came out shortly after. They had chosen a reclining chair and the worker was moving it to the back of their pickup truck<\/p>\n
She needed to walk back and forth from the shop and the pickup truck, it was quite the walk for her. But she didn\u2019t mind, and she walked slowly. At one point, the worker who was moving the chair didn\u2019t notice her and he accidentally ran into her.<\/p>\n
She fell onto the ground.<\/p>\n
\u201cWatch where you are going!\u201d Kern was furious, he immediately squatted down, \u201cAre you okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman pushed her hand against the slated flooring and stood up carefully. She then patted the dust off her skirt and said, \u201cI\u2019m fine, it wasn\u2019t his fault. I wasn\u2019t paying attention to my surroundings.\u201d<\/p>\n
She was patting more dust off her skirt as she was saying that, and she continued walking towards the pickup truck.<\/p>\n
The worker\u2019s face turned red, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, I\u2019m so sorry. I didn\u2019t notice you there.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s okay.\u201d<\/p>\n
She took another step forward, but she grimaced when she did that.<\/p>\n
She kept quiet and walked forward with her head down.<\/p>\n
Kern noticed that something was up, he held out his long arms and pulled her towards him. He had to bend over slightly.<\/p>\n
The woman gasped as she was caught off guard. Before even looking in front, she was angry and glared scornfully at Kern, \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n
She yelled.<\/p>\n
But she was stunned at what she saw.<\/p>\n
Kern with a large build was slightly bent over in front of her, he was in a squatting position. He looked back at her and smiled brightly, \u201cCome up.\u201d<\/p>\n
She was bewildered, \u201cDon\u2019t be crazy,\u201d she said angrily. She was about to step over the huge \u201cmountain\u201d in front of her, but Kern abruptly held out his long arms again and yanked her over with force. She lowered her head and saw Kern smiling as he was looking up at her.<\/p>\n
His smile was a bit scornful and rascally.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you forcing yourself to walk? You hurt yourself from the fall, I could tell even without you saying anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
He raised his brow as he talked.<\/p>\n
The worker moved the chair onto the pickup truck and tied it tightly with ropes and tapes. It was surely stable.<\/p>\n
\u201cShould we still go shopping?\u201d asked the woman as she raised her head and looked up to Kern, \u201cYou mentioned that you\u2019ve never been to the old town in Dali.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe next time, I am interested in the grilled milk fan around that area. Come with me next time, okay?<\/p>\n
She wanted to say no, but as she raised her head she met his eyes that were filled with excitement, she swallowed her words back and ambiguously answered yes.<\/p>\n
Kern was about to start the engine as they got on the car.<\/p>\n
\u201cWait a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman said suddenly.<\/p>\n
Kern was confused as he turned around and look at her, \u201cWhat?\u201d He was staring at her and was waiting for an answer.<\/p>\n
The woman stayed silent, she thought for a bit and slowly took out a bottle of medicated oil from her pocket, \u201cGive me your hand.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman ignored him and forcefully pulled his hand over. She opened the bottle and warmed up some oil between her palms, she then slowly rubbed it all over the back of his hand and massaged his hand.<\/p>\n
She was doing everything very slowly and Kern was just staring at her.<\/p>\n
He smiled foolishly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, it wasn\u2019t on purpose.\u201d The woman rubbed the medicated oil gently and tried to apologize.<\/p>\n
Kern was taken aback but he quickly said, \u201cIt\u2019s fine. I\u2019ve already said that it was just because my body was special. There was no need for you to apologize.\u201d That was what he said, but in his heart, he was yelling happily.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s great, it\u2019s the best! Hit me more next time!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you looking at, Mr. Lo?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kern only snapped back to reality when he heard the woman asked him a question, \u201cAh?\u201d And only after a few seconds he said,<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking at how pretty you are.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1423","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1423","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=1423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
