He berated,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat nonsense are you talking about!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The woman turned her head, her eyes filled with humiliation and stubbornness, \u201cHumiliating me has always been your pleasure, hasn\u2019t it?\u201d Grace\u2019s eyes were filled with tears, \u201cI am as humble as you wish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That was what he wanted, wasn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo.\u201d The man\u2019s voice was hoarse, and his eyes were filled with pain. He looked at the woman beneath him and said, \u201cI &#8230;\u201d Sorry.<\/p>\n<p>He hugged her tightly from behind, tightly hugging this thin and weak woman in his arms. He was very sad. How could she say such words?<\/p>\n<p>How could she say such humble words!<\/p>\n<p>No!<\/p>\n<p>It was wrong!<\/p>\n<p>It was his fault!<\/p>\n<p>His fault!<\/p>\n<p>He forced her again, forced her again!<\/p>\n<p>Her hair was so long and her body was wet. The woman in his arms was very thin and she could not see the pain in his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>His heart was filled with bitterness.<\/p>\n<p>He just wanted &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>He just wanted to prove that he, Caden, was different from others in her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>He just wanted her to face everything in the past and face him.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the woman, his eyes were filled with regret. He was wrong. He would not force her in this way anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Holding her, one kiss after another landed on her shoulders and her head. He wished he could give everything he owned to her.<\/p>\n<p>His kisses fell one by one, precious and devout.<\/p>\n<p>If Grace hadn\u2019t been absorbed in this humiliation and pain, and in that sad memory of the past, perhaps she could have found that this seemingly domineering kiss was actually humble and devout, and she was already cherished.<\/p>\n<p>That seemingly domineering action was actually filled with regret and uneasiness. Yes, Caden, who was as high and mighty as a former emperor, also had this uneasy time!<\/p>\n<p>At this moment, the truly humble person between them was not Grace, but the man who firmly imprisoned the woman in his arms. His domineering behavior was to cover up his uneasiness.<\/p>\n<p>The seemingly humble one had the upper hand.<\/p>\n<p>The seemingly humiliated one had the upper hand.<\/p>\n<p>The one giving in was Caden, who had a tough and domineering expression on his face!<\/p>\n<p>Caden kissed Grace. He would never say sorry to this woman, even though at this moment, he had already said \u201cI\u2019m sorry\u201d many times in his heart.<\/p>\n<p>However, he would never say that to her!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the future, don\u2019t say such words again, Grace.\u201d His voice was full of affection. Caden almost hid his lowliness behind his strong attitude.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGo away!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her hands were free. She picked up the things beside her and threw them at him. Grace tossed the pillow at him and said, \u201cGo away! I don\u2019t want to see you now!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace, calm down!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her eyes were red, and she was extremely excited. She could feel his kisses falling on her waist, but it was more painful than ever to her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you leaving or not?\u201d She glared at him angrily, \u201cAlright! You\u2019re not leaving, and then I\u2019m leaving!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace, don\u2019t mess around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mess around?<\/p>\n<p>Who was messing around?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou promised me. You promised me!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She shouted, \u201cCaden, I don\u2019t want anything! The James Group and the Wei\u2019ai Foundation, I don\u2019t care about them anymore. You &#8230;\u201d She paused for a moment, but the man was very nervous. To hide his fear, Caden hurriedly shouted, \u201cGrace!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs for you &#8230;\u201d Her red eyes were filled with self-mockery and she said, \u201cI don\u2019t want you anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was scared!<\/p>\n<p>Would she?<\/p>\n<p>Would she?<\/p>\n<p>She asked herself again and again.<\/p>\n<p>There was no answer.<\/p>\n<p>There was a knock on the door.<\/p>\n<p>The room was very quiet, but there was a knock outside. The woman on the ground was frightened and stared at the door in horror.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMadam, it\u2019s me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Outside the door, the butler\u2019s gentle voice sounded, \u201cOpen the door, please. You should be hungry. Mr. Shaw asked me to prepare a snack for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, there\u2019s no need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMadam, please don\u2019t make it difficult for me. Mr. Shaw said that if I didn\u2019t watch you finish your meal, he would expel me. I still have a family to support. Madam, please help me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hesitation appeared in Grace\u2019s eyes. \u201cWhere is he?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho? Mr. Shaw? He has returned to the master bedroom to rest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, only the housekeeper was outside.<\/p>\n<p>Grace gradually calmed down. She stood up and said, \u201cWait a moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She casually put on a nightgown and threw the messy nightgown into the trash can with disgust.<\/p>\n<p>Then she opened the door.<\/p>\n<p>The butler came in and put the tray on the dressing table. He said as he energized the aromatherapy spray on the tray, \u201cMadam, Mr. Shaw let me observe you finish your meal. This is a humidifier. The air in the room is dry. It can improve the air and help you sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace sat down and quietly finished eating the white fungus soup in the bowl.<\/p>\n<p>The butler had already left quietly.<\/p>\n<p>Fifteen minutes later.<\/p>\n<p>The door opened gently and a man walked in. He stood quietly behind the woman and looked at the woman sleeping on the dressing table. He sighed, bent down and picked her up. He gently placed her on the bed, \u201cWhat should I do with you?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1462","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1462","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=1462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
