Obviously, she was asking if it was caused by the person opposite her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That person carefully apologized and his eyes filled with guilt.<\/p>\n<p>But Grace wanted to laugh. The person behind the washing table used to be so arrogant that he would never admit his mistakes easily. Now, he actually admitted it immediately.<\/p>\n<p>However, there was another kind of anger that came from the depths of her heart, which was faint and unclear.<\/p>\n<p>She did not realize that her anger was not only at the mess.<\/p>\n<p>She glanced coldly at him and took out her phone from her backpack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHumbert, it\u2019s me. When will you come?\u201d she indifferently asked. A black shadow slanted towards her. The phone fell to the ground unexpectedly, which made her anger burned even more violently. She shouted at him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCaden! What are you doing on earth?!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was too difficult for her to treat him an eight-year-old child now.<\/p>\n<p>Anger made her to temporarily lose her rationality. She only wanted to vent all of her anger on this guy!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace, why did you call Humbert?\u201d he asked her angrily and straightforwardly.<\/p>\n<p>Grace looked up and was drown into the clear eyes. She was shocked by the anger and despair in his eyes, \u201cYou\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His eyes immediately turned red, as if it wasn\u2019t him who caused trouble, but her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy did you call Humbert?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He asked her again.<\/p>\n<p>Grace discovered that under that clean and innocent gaze, she was unable to answer his question directly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou should have followed Humbert to where you should have gone.\u201d She turned her head and tightly clenched her palms.<\/p>\n<p>After a long while, no sound came.<\/p>\n<p>The man didn\u2019t say anything.<\/p>\n<p>Grace was suspicious, and just as she turned her head, he looked so poor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCaden won\u2019t make Grace angry anymore. Grace, don\u2019t drive Caden away.\u201d The small voice included weakness and pleading. She could feel his uneasiness. \u201cIs that OK?\u201d he whispered.<\/p>\n<p>Was that OK?<\/p>\n<p>He was so careful. She gritted her teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Almost, almost be soft-hearted again.<\/p>\n<p>She glared fiercely at him!<\/p>\n<p>She cursed in her heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCaden, you should return to your own life, which I shouldn\u2019t be in.\u201d She didn\u2019t want to know if he would be able to understand these words and feel her determination now.<\/p>\n<p>She was like bullying a mentally retarded patient.<\/p>\n<p>But she must warn herself again and again, \u201cDon\u2019t be soft-hearted. Don\u2019t be soft-hearted!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The jackal and tiger in his heart were just dozing off. They will wake up sooner or later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCaden won\u2019t do that again&#8230;\u201d he whispered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace will be hungry. Caden wants to send you lunch. But Caden is stupid\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hiss!<\/p>\n<p>It was like a sharp blade that pierced through her heart. He\u2026 She scanned the mess on the floor\u2026 He just wanted to send her lunch?<\/p>\n<p>No, no, she couldn\u2019t be soft-hearted. She shouldn\u2019t be soft-hearted!<\/p>\n<p>She could be gentle with anyone, but not him.<\/p>\n<p>Tick tick tick&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Strange sounds echoed in the living room, which were like the sounds of water falling to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>He immediately compromised, \u201cCaden won\u2019t move. Caden will stand here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She walked to the cabinet and took the first aid kit. She sat down on the sofa and said coldly to the man standing there, who didn\u2019t dare to move at all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are you standing there for?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was dumbfounded and felt wronged, \u201cGrace said Caden couldn\u2019t move.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She was surprised. It was very difficult for her to keep cool any longer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome here.\u201d He felt that he had done something wrong and walked towards her uneasily. She pointed to the sofa beside her, \u201cSit here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He immediately ran to her side happily and sat down obediently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStretch out your hand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She had already opened the first aid kit.<\/p>\n<p>He was also obedient. She wiped and disinfected the wounds, then bandaged his hand with the white gauze. He didn\u2019t make any move until her finished.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow was it caused?\u201d She closed the first aid kit and asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI broke a bowl and wanted to pick the pieces up\u2026\u201d He looked at her poorly.<\/p>\n<p>She sighed in her heart, \u201cThen it cut your hand?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d He nodded cautiously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy did you hide it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She asked again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace will think Caden is clumsy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She was stunned again. It was actually for such a ridiculous reason.<\/p>\n<p>Her anger gradually dissipated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1481","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1481","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=1481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
