It was windy and cold. Caden said that he wasn\u2019t cold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGet into the car,\u201d she said firmly and burrowed out of his embrace.<\/p>\n<p>She staggered towards the car. It was not far away. When she got off the car and walked towards him, she felt a great weight of worry inside her. When she walked back, she felt relieved.<\/p>\n<p>Grace pulled open the door of the back seat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caden said, \u201cNo.\u201d He stood stubbornly beside the door and refused to move.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy not?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to sit here.\u201d He acted like a child and insisted, \u201cI don\u2019t want to sit here. I want to sit there.\u201d He pointed at the passenger seat.<\/p>\n<p>Grace was surprised. She looked at Caden in a daze. \u201cYou refused me for that.\u201d He refused to get in the car because he wanted to sit in the passenger seat.<\/p>\n<p>Although he lost his memory, why couldn\u2019t she understand him compared to before?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to sit by your side.\u201d He was serious. He had a pair of pure eyes. When he said these words firmly, she was touched.<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t say anything. She walked to the passenger seat in the heavy rain and said, \u201cCome here.\u201d She pulled open the door, looked up indifferently and waved at Caden who stood stubbornly on the other side of the car.<\/p>\n<p>In the next moment, she was surprised. He smiled. He ran to her side happily and kissed her cheek suddenly. \u201cMiss, you\u2019re so kind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace didn\u2019t understand him.<\/p>\n<p>Did he really forget everything and change his personalities?<\/p>\n<p>Professor Luther said that his IQ was like that of an eight-year-old child.<\/p>\n<p>She touched her cheek as if she could feel the warmth of him.<\/p>\n<p>She pursed her lips and walked back to the driver\u2019s seat. She opened the door, got in the car and closed the door.<\/p>\n<p>She started the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove slowly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you know Humbert\u2019s phone number?\u201d She threw her cell phone over and said, \u201cDo you know how to make a call? Find Humbert\u2019s number and call him. Tell him that you\u2019re safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caden said, \u201cYes, I do.\u201d He took the phone over and held it in his hands. He hesitated for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Grace glanced at him questioningly.<\/p>\n<p>Caden held the phone in both hands and said carefully, \u201cI need the password&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace grabbed the steering wheel. She recalled what happened in the past because of his words. After a moment, she said faintly, \u201c0926.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>926 was her name in prison for the three years.<\/p>\n<p>Caden called Humbert. Grace put on her Bluetooth headphones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have found him. He stays with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Humbert asked a lot of questions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe found me. I met him outside the Shen Manor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Humbert said something and hung up.<\/p>\n<p>She drove towards the Ginza Garden. It was one o\u2019clock at night. She drove into the underground garage of the Ginza Garden. Then she led Caden to the elevator in the underground garage.<\/p>\n<p>This house belonged to Caden. The house was spacious. However, this house was designed for singles or young couples.<\/p>\n<p>There was a bedroom, a living room, an open kitchen, a bathroom and an open study room beside the living room.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTake a shower.\u201d She rummaged through the cabinets and found a large coat. If she wore it, the coat reached her knees. She didn\u2019t know if it was suitable for him, but she could only find this one. Perhaps it was suitable for him.<\/p>\n<p>She threw the coat and towel to him.<\/p>\n<p>After throwing them to him, Grace went to the kitchen and cooked.<\/p>\n<p>After a while, she turned around and saw that Caden was still standing there. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you take a shower?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8230;\u201d Caden looked at her pitifully. \u201cMiss, aren\u2019t you going to help me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After she heard his words, she asked, \u201cWhy should I help you take a bath?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLadd always helps me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace was speechless.<\/p>\n<p>She looked at Caden who was standing there. Why did he take it for granted? It was strange.<\/p>\n<p>She was speechless for a while.<\/p>\n<p>She said coldly, \u201cWash yourself. Ladd isn\u2019t here. If you want someone to help you take a bath, go back to that manor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why should she help him take a bath?<\/p>\n<p>Although he had suffered a lot to find her, she wouldn\u2019t forget what happened in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Although his shoes were worn out, she wouldn\u2019t change her attitude towards him.<\/p>\n<p>It was impossible!<\/p>\n<p>He felt disappointed and looked down. After a while, he said obediently, \u201cI can do it by myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The living room was quiet. Only Grace was in the living room.<\/p>\n<p>Leaning against the kitchen sink, she was upset. She turned around and looked away from the bathroom door. What was wrong with her?<\/p>\n<p>She felt angry. She didn\u2019t know it was because of him or herself.<\/p>\n<p>She hated that she almost forgave him at the entrance of the Shaw Manor because of what he did.<\/p>\n<p>Grace hated herself!<\/p>\n<p>She must remember what happened in the past.<\/p>\n<p>She faked a smiled and mocked, \u201cAm I beautiful? Don\u2019t you see the scar on my forehead?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caden kept silent. When she was about to stand up, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re beautiful. In my eyes, you\u2019re the most beautiful person in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace clenched her fists and left in a hurry.<\/p>\n<p>After Caden wasted her best years, Caden told her that she was the most beautiful person in the world in his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>If Caden could say that before she was hopeless, it could become one of the few lights in her life and the rare joy in her life.<\/p>\n<p>She stepped into the elevator and left without looking back.<\/p>\n<p>Vivian was waiting for her downstairs. \u201cMs. Grace, you don\u2019t look well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After Grace got in the car, Vivian handed her a glass of milk and a sandwich.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou didn\u2019t sleep well last night, did you? Vivian, thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t mention it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace ate the breakfast and asked Vivian, \u201cAre you ready? Have you arranged everything?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m ready. The documents are in my bag.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace took out the folder and flipped through it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace, take a rest. I\u2019ve checked the documents three times last night. There won\u2019t be any problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Grace was worried.<\/p>\n<p>Vivian could only give up.<\/p>\n<p>Grace was too industrious. It was strange.<\/p>\n<p>Vivian had always wanted to ask some questions, but she didn\u2019t ask.<\/p>\n<p>Judging from Grace\u2019s attitude towards this negotiation, Grace took the negotiation seriously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you have any doubts? Go ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace was looking at the documents. She didn\u2019t look up, but she noticed Vivian\u2019s hesitation.<\/p>\n<p>Vivian thought for a moment and said, \u201cGrace, logically speaking, I shouldn\u2019t ask you, but\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you have any questions, go ahead. It\u2019s fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vivian said, \u201cGrace, is the James Group&#8230;?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes,\u201d Grace interrupted her and focused on the documents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1477","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1477","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=1477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
