The night was colorful. Here the traffic was busy. The motley pedestrians were all in a hurry. From the height, those people had become little black spots like ants.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone was living their own lives. What kind of story did they hide?<\/p>\n<p>The stranger who walked past her might have already experienced a lot.<\/p>\n<p>What about Grace?<\/p>\n<p>What about herself?<\/p>\n<p>What kind of life she was living?<\/p>\n<p>Caden was still trying to open the door. She knew that Caden must be confused and randomly guessing if he had done something wrong.<\/p>\n<p>A desperate smile appeared on Grace\u2019s face.<\/p>\n<p>She stared fixedly at the wall.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, she punched heavily on the wall and then bowed. Her long black hair covered her face. Her trembling shoulders revealed her helplessness, pain, confusion and contradiction.<\/p>\n<p>Was Vivian right?<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>She hit the wall again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot forget what should be forgotten, but I forget what should be remembered!\u201d Grace mocked, \u201cYou really know how to play tricks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t know whether she was referring to this damned fate or the one hidden behind all of this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace, don\u2019t scare me.\u201d Caden shouted anxiously. He even began to kick the door, \u201cDon\u2019t do this. I\u2019m scared &#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The door to the bedroom opened silently. Grace was on a poker face, and on her lips was a circle of blood on which she had bitten herself.<\/p>\n<p>What kind of struggle was it?<\/p>\n<p>She ignored Caden\u2019s worried face and was holding his blanket.<\/p>\n<p>Everything had returned to its former state.<\/p>\n<p>Grace walked into the living room and quietly preparing two sheets on the sofa.<\/p>\n<p>Caden stood on the side uneasily. His helpless expression was irresistible.<\/p>\n<p>Grace didn\u2019t look at him at all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom now on, you are not allowed to enter my bedroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>Caden was instantly flustered. He tightly grabbed onto Grace\u2019s clothes and asked, \u201cDid I do something wrong? You don\u2019t like me anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caden shook his head stubbornly.<\/p>\n<p>Grace looked at her clothes that being dragged. Her heart was filled with bitterness. Vivian\u2019s words echoed constantly, like an octave box that played back over and over again.<\/p>\n<p>Grace coldly tore his hands away, and walked to the bedroom.<\/p>\n<p>Caden was rattled. Without thinking, he chased after Grace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace, tell me what I did wrong.\u201d Caden held Grace\u2019s arm tightly in panic.<\/p>\n<p>Grace did not respond. She expressionlessly pulled away his fingers one by one, \u201cYou didn\u2019t do anything wrong.\u201d The one who did the wrong thing was the past Caden.<\/p>\n<p>But the man stood here was Caden. Grace wanted to ignore it, just like she said to Vivian that she didn\u2019t want to push away that warmth.<\/p>\n<p>But she was scared.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to work,\u201d she said, \u201cI\u2019ll give Ingemar the keys to the house. He\u2019ll bring the doctor to give you an IV drip later. Be obedient. If you\u2019re hungry, cook noodles yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After saying that, Grace strode away to the bathroom and hastily washed up. She didn\u2019t even have breakfast. After changed her clothes, she walked out of the house with her backpack.<\/p>\n<p>She knew that Caden was watching her. He was about to cry.<\/p>\n<p>Grace kept reminding herself, \u201cDon\u2019t look. He is Caden. He won\u2019t change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Vivian went to the office, she was shocked when she saw Grace, \u201cWhy are you here \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBring over the proposal for cooperation with Mr. Cayne. I still need to reconsider some details.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf it was a more profitable plan, I think both of us would be satisfied. Vivian, in this world, no one would refuse more money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vivian was shocked.<\/p>\n<p>This was definitely not Grace\u2019s style!<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, everyone loved money.<\/p>\n<p>However, Vivian knew that for Grace, she valued that man Caden the most. How else could she be where she was today?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI \u2026 I understand!\u201d Vivian stammered and left.<\/p>\n<p>She was the one who wanted to pull Grace out of the abyss, but she was at a loss when she heard Grace say about money and the like.<\/p>\n<p>In her own office, Vivian called Gloria.<\/p>\n<p>Because of Grace, Vivian and Gloria got to know each other. Gloria was very special. She was straightforward and shrewd in business, but was smooth, sophisticated, and at the same time charming. Vivian and Gloria hit it off right away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDid I do something wrong?\u201d Vivian stammered, \u201cAm I being too bossy? But I just don\u2019t want Grace to get hurt again!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know what exactly happened, but I thought there were some things that no one should interfere with,\u201d Gloria said, \u201cNo matter what you said to her, it\u2019s her choice now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1490","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1490","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=1490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
