Chapter 279
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 279<\/p>\n
Grace\u2019s face darkened all the way home.<\/p>\n
By the time the car stopped, Caden had already taken the initiative to carry the things they bought.<\/p>\n
She just planned to buy simple daily necessities, but\u2026<\/p>\n
She was glaring at that pile of stuffs.<\/p>\n
It was the biggest mistake to take him to the supermarket.<\/p>\n
On the contrary, he stood there with bright smile, telling her that he was in a very good mood.<\/p>\n
But she was not good!<\/p>\n
They entered the elevator and he leaned against her. She took half a step back in annoyance. Normally, someone would sense it and retreat.<\/p>\n
But… Caden did not have such a consciousness at all.<\/p>\n
When they just got home, she felt dizzy.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, are you alright?\u201d The powerful arm tightly wrapped around her. She had almost fallen to the ground.<\/p>\n
She reached out and pushed his hand away, \u201cI\u2019m just tired. Put on your new slippers.\u201d<\/p>\n
She saw him obediently changing his shoes and put on that slippers. He was so excited, \u201cGrace, are they cute? So good, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
He asked again and again, \u201cAre they good? Cute?\u201d<\/p>\n
What could she do? She just felt it funny. He didn\u2019t feel tired, \u201cHow do you think?\u201d She was so annoyed. She could only vaguely answer him. She really couldn\u2019t tell lies that he looked cute and beautiful in those pink slippers…<\/p>\n
It was so odd!<\/p>\n
Hearing her answer, he immediately bent down and rummaged around in the bag. She was puzzled. \u201cOh! Found it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her rabbit slippers… That obvious rabbit…<\/p>\n
\u201cPut it on, Grace.\u201d<\/p>\n
She got headache again\u2026 I wouldn\u2019t!<\/p>\n
She almost lost her rationality!<\/p>\n
But he felt nothing and already squatted down in front of her.<\/p>\n
She was puzzled.<\/p>\n
He squatted on the ground, laughed and looked up at her dumbly.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, put on it as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
She took off her shoes and took out her light gray slippers from the cabinet. He quickly reached out and snatched them away. Her expression changed.<\/p>\n
He grabbed her ankle. She was shocked and wanted to avoid it.<\/p>\n
He was so powerful.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, don\u2019t move. I\u2019ll help you put on the rabbit slippers.\u201d<\/p>\n
His words made her tremble.<\/p>\n
Her eyes widened. The same handsome face but totally different actions. It was unreal.<\/p>\n
What\u2026 was he doing?<\/p>\n
He clumsily picked up one of the slipper and put it on her foot.<\/p>\n
A familiar scene flashed by! Her heart ached, \u201cLet me go!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t move\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCaden! Stand up!\u201d She was really angry at this moment. She only wanted the scene disappear!<\/p>\n
As well as him!<\/p>\n
\u201cWait a moment\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
He was kneeling on one knee, holding her feet in one hand. She could not explain why it was an eyesore to her.<\/p>\n
It was indeed an eyesore!<\/p>\n
\u201cCaden,\u201d she shouted in a hoarse voice, \u201clisten carefully.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t need you to help me put on shoes.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t like the slippers you picked for me.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t like pink toothbrushes and those water glasses.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t like those things at all. I\u2019m lying to you!\u201d<\/p>\n
Her voice grew louder and louder. She was shouting at him.<\/p>\n
Angrily and painfully.<\/p>\n
The anger and unhappiness had come so suddenly for no reason!<\/p>\n
Her cheeks turned red. He was stunned by her roar. He still knelt on one knee and stared blankly at her. In the past, apart from his indifference, there was nothing else in his eyes.<\/p>\n
At this moment, there was only dullness, doubt, and confusion left\u2026 He didn\u2019t understand why she suddenly lost her temper. His hand moved close to his heart. Was he sick? Why did it hurt here?<\/p>\n
However, which made him even more concerned was that Grace was angry.<\/p>\n
\u201cI…\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?!\u201d The backlog of anger suddenly had an outlet. She didn\u2019t want to pretend anymore.<\/p>\n
He was stunned by her roar again, and a strong sense of unease appeared, \u201cI\u2019m sorry\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough! Caden!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCan you stop saying sorry?!\u201d<\/p>\n
If he wanted to apologize, did it when he was sober.<\/p>\n
She would not accept it now!<\/p>\n
There was no need for an eight-year-old child to apologize.<\/p>\n
She changed into her own slippers and walked to the bedroom. She was a little dizzy. Maybe she had been overworked recently and needed a good rest today.<\/p>\n
But she completely lost consciousness before she could make a move.<\/p>\n
He was scared and pounced over to carry her in his arms in time. His arms around her waist tightened.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace? Grace?\u201d<\/p>\n
He anxiously called her, but there was no response.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t know what to do. He immediately took out her phone and called Ingemar, \u201cGrace fainted.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2026<\/p>\n
She warned herself.<\/p>\n
They were wrong choices to each other from the beginning. That was why there was so much pain.<\/p>\n
If it wasn\u2019t wrong, why so painful?<\/p>\n
Shouldn\u2019t love be sweet?<\/p>\n
\u2026 They won\u2019t have children.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace.\u201d His surprised voice sounded.<\/p>\n
She suddenly looked up.<\/p>\n
He run over to her in delight. \u201cCome and eat, Grace.\u201d<\/p>\n
He stretched out his hand and naturally grabbed her one hand. She could not dodge it and walked towards the table.<\/p>\n
A bowl of steaming noodles was placed in front of her.<\/p>\n
It was over-cooked and with no color, which was really not appetizing. A pair of chopsticks were stuffed into her hand. \u201cGrace, enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n
He urged her.<\/p>\n
She could clearly see the expectation in his eyes.<\/p>\n
Before she could think, her hand already took action and sent a mouthful noodles into her mouth. She was numb by the amazing taste\u2026 Why did she try!<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t know whether to swallow it or spit it out\u2026 She must be too starving.<\/p>\n
She slowly swallowed it.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, is it delicious?\u201d He pleaded for praise.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo\u2026\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n
\u201cAm I smart? Grace cooked it once and I learned it. It must be delicious.\u201d<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t answer and ate it quietly.<\/p>\n
He picked up his chopsticks with interest and sent a mouthful to his mouth, \u201cThe noodles that Grace taught me must be the most delicious in the world\u2026\u201d Before he could swallow it, he shouted, \u201cIt is sweet!\u201d<\/p>\n
She closed her eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cSweet, Grace, sweet! Why so sweet?\u201d He kept asking her.<\/p>\n
\u2026 The noodles she cooked were salty.<\/p>\n
Nobody knew why it was sweet.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, Caden will cook another bowl.\u201d<\/p>\n
She took another two mouthfuls and stopped, \u201cI\u2019m full.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDidn\u2019t your teacher tell you not to waste food?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh? Who\u2019s Caden\u2019s teacher?\u201d He was obviously stunned.<\/p>\n
She quietly looked at the confused face and said, \u201cI forgot. Caden is old enough to go to school. I\u2019ll pick a school for you tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
His expression immediately changed. He looked at her angrily and picked up his bowl. \u201cCaden\u2019s noodles are the best.\u201d The implication was \u201cnot going to school\u201d.<\/p>\n
Even though she knew that there was all bitterness between them, no matter in the past, the present, or the future, but at this moment, she felt somewhat sweet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1484","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1484","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=1484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
