Chapter 229
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 229<\/p>\n
He regretted it.<\/p>\n
That day if he did not make that damned bet, he would not go to that bar!<\/p>\n
And he wouldn’t have let her out.<\/p>\n
At the same time, even though Kern was far away in Yunnan, the information spread so fast that even he knew someone was eager to look for her.<\/p>\n
The assistant behind him stood behind him bravely.<\/p>\n
Kern grabbed the phone and wanted to devour the man who had sent the message.<\/p>\n
Then he sent messages to his friends. “Help me check Mr. Shwn\u2019s itinerary.”<\/p>\n
He had a bad hunch.<\/p>\n
Sure enough!<\/p>\n
Kern’s clenched his fists and smashed straight into the glass coffee table.<\/p>\n
“Mr. LO, your hand is bleeding.”<\/p>\n
The assistant wanted to call the doctor.<\/p>\n
“Go away!” The man croaked, “Get out!”<\/p>\n
What Kern hated most about himself was that he knew she was living a peaceful life, but that peace was going to be disturbed!<\/p>\n
He went downstairs, looked up, and scarcely thought that the woman must be sitting in the sun on the bamboo deck-chair.<\/p>\n
With the blue sky and clear water and fragrant flowers, the woman was drinking tea under the sun… It seemed that everything stood still, and it was more beautiful and peaceful than any picture he had ever seen painted by the best painter.<\/p>\n
But everything would be gone soon!<\/p>\n
“Boss.”<\/p>\n
Kern walked over.<\/p>\n
The woman gave him no answer.<\/p>\n
If he had not seen it clearly or understood her that night, then he just needed to think for a few more days and might be he would know her feelings.<\/p>\n
“Boss!\u201d<\/p>\n
Why!<\/p>\n
The woman did not look at him, so Kern stepped forward and stopped in front of her. “Let me take you away, boss!” he said.<\/p>\n
He almost made up his mind, “I’ll take you to a place where no one knows you anymore! Come with me!”<\/p>\n
She looked so calm and peaceful that he wanted to protect her from anyone or anything disturbing her peaceful life.<\/p>\n
The woman seemed to hear something weird, “Mr. Lo, are you crazy?”<\/p>\n
Looking at her, Kern could not say anything. Her trace had been found, and he dared not to tell her that her easy life was coming to an end.<\/p>\n
“I mean it, boss. I’m taking you away.” Kern said, “Go to Provence, Versailles, Venice, any places where no one knows you anymore. I’ll take care of you for the rest of my life.”<\/p>\n
The woman took one look at Kern, pulled her blanket back, stood up, and walked slowly down the hall.<\/p>\n
“Carol, get me the medical kit and put a bandage on Mr. Lo’s hand. I’m a bit tired. I’m going upstairs to bed first.”<\/p>\n
“Grace!”<\/p>\n
After all, he could not refrain from shouting out the name just as the woman was about to ascend the stairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1434","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1434","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=1434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
