They sat on the sofa still. Grace asked a housekeeper to come.<\/p>\n<p>They didn\u2019t talk. He just kept staring at her\u2026 for more than half an hour.<\/p>\n<p>No.<\/p>\n<p>She couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>She couldn\u2019t be soft-hearted.<\/p>\n<p>She must ignore his pleading gaze. Caden was always a wolf. His nature wouldn\u2019t change.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how pure and poor he was now, his coldness and cruelty for decades had long been engraved in her mind.<\/p>\n<p>She could never forget it.<\/p>\n<p>She made up her mind to send him away. All she needed to do was waiting Humbert to take him away, and then she wouldn\u2019t be so upset.<\/p>\n<p>Then the indescribable feeling would go away.<\/p>\n<p>Time passed too slowly. It was already the third time she checked the watch. The hot gaze beside her almost burned her.<\/p>\n<p>She turned her head around and left the gaze behind.<\/p>\n<p>Humbert hadn\u2019t come yet. A burst of phone ring break the strange atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>She quickly answered the call.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you coming?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There were hurried footsteps on that side, and she heard the sound of the airport broadcast as well. What was wrong?<\/p>\n<p>Humbert\u2019s clean voice came.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not able to get there now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her expression changed immediately, \u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll leave Caden to you. Take care of him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWait!\u201d He was about to hang up the phone. \u201cWhy me? You have Ladd as well!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLadd is busy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat about Saul?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot free either.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen Deacon\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo matter who, they are not free.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She was speechless, \u201cNobody is free?!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So he was already going to leave this person to her?<\/p>\n<p>Humbert stopped for a while, then he sneered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t think it was a coincidence that Caden was shot in Italy, do you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2026 do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLadd is with the others. Ingemar will stay in the Shaw Group. Ladd and I are heading to Rome.<\/p>\n<p>Think about it. There were always protectors around Caden. Why was he shot?<\/p>\n<p>You have been growing up with him. Have you ever seen him hurt so badly?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She was silent. Although she did not want to admit it, she agreed with him. She glanced at the man beside her. His gaze didn\u2019t move a bit. He seemed to say, \u201cI\u2019m not leaving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are some clues and we have to get there now.<\/p>\n<p>If Caden was conscious, we wouldn\u2019t be so anxious.<\/p>\n<p>His mind stopped in his eight years old. No clues could be missed. We must find out the main culprits. Otherwise, they will always be problems. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>She looked at the man and hesitated for a while. She gritted her teeth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen will you come back?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt depends. We also hope that we can find out them and resolve the troubles as soon as possible. His current situation is impossible to be concealed forever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe tableware was broken. Don\u2019t we need new ones?<\/p>\n<p>You only have one set of clothes. Don\u2019t you need more?<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to be barefoot all the time?<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t you need a razor?<\/p>\n<p>You still want to share the same toothbrush with me?<\/p>\n<p>So shouldn\u2019t I go to the supermarket? \u201c<\/p>\n<p>She turned around and closed the door directly.<\/p>\n<p>In the room, Caden\u2019s gaze was dazed and filled with joy gradually.<\/p>\n<p>He quickly opened the door and chased after her.<\/p>\n<p>Just as she was about to enter the elevator, she heard footsteps. \u201cWhy come out?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to go with you!\u201d His clean eyes shining brightly.<\/p>\n<p>When she met that pair of innocent eyes, she was somewhat soft-hearted. She tried to maintain to be indifferent, \u201cYou can\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to go!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She was slightly annoyed\u2026 He was really unreasonable like a child.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo!\u201d she said resolutely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace\u2026 I want to go.\u201d He blinked his eyes, as if he was pleading, \u201cCaden was strong. Caden can help Grace to carry things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo.\u201d She was unmoved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut Caden wants to go\u2026 Caden is lonely. Only fishes in the pond could play with Caden.
