Chapter 288
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 288<\/p>\n
Leon looked at his friend who had returned in a hurry.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs there a ghost chasing you?\u201d Leon raised his eyebrows and teased him.<\/p>\n
Cayne strode past Leon and walked to the wine cabinet. He pulled open the glass door and picked up a bottle of whisky without a glance at the wines. He rudely opened it and finished most in the bottle in seconds with large gulps.<\/p>\n
Leon rushed over and snatched the bottle from Cayne\u2019s hand. \u201cYou can\u2019t drink like that!\u201d<\/p>\n
Cayne took a deep breath and the smell of the whisky spread through the air.<\/p>\n
Seeing that he wasn\u2019t obsessed with wine, Leon put down the whisky and step back. He sat on the coffee-colored leather sofa and said, \u201cTell me what has happened?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cayne stood by the bar, with his arm resting on the counter and the back of his hand holding his forehead. The smell of alcohol pervaded his surroundings. His light-colored eyelashes trembled and he did not answer for a long time.<\/p>\n
Leon was a shrewd businessman. Naturally, he found the core of the problem quickly.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour secretary said you went to the James Group.\u201d He crossed his legs. \u201cYou\u2019ve been rejected by her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cayne at the bar had no intention of speaking at all.<\/p>\n
Leon\u2019s eyes lighted up and said, \u201cDid she reject you?\u201d<\/p>\n
These ordinary words provoked Cayne. He suddenly raised his head and shouted angrily, \u201cNo!\u201d<\/p>\n
Leon raised one hand to support his forehead and looked at him with a faint smile.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright …\u201d Cayne leaned against the bar and said, \u201cYou win.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leon smiled and knew what had happened.<\/p>\n
Very quickly, he heard Leon\u2019s answer.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you\u2019re wrong.\u201d Cayne walked weakly towards the chair in front of the bar and his tall figure slid into the chair. \u201cShe didn\u2019t reject me, and I didn\u2019t say anything to her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leon\u2019s long and narrow eyes flashed with astonishment. \u201cThen what makes you so unhappy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were discussing business when Payne barged in.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHer brother? The eldest son of the James family?\u201d Leon raised his eyebrows.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s him.\u201d Cayne nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe should be in the hospital. Payne has been diagnosed with leukemia. Everyone in the business circle knows about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, he should be in the hospital.\u201d Cayne suddenly chuckled with a trace of mockery. \u201cNobody is not afraid of death.\u201d<\/p>\n
When he finished speaking, the smart people could guess what had happened after hearing this sentence.<\/p>\n
And Leon was a smart person.<\/p>\n
His thin lips curled dully, and he said lazily, \u201cOh, I see.\u201d<\/p>\n
Just by saying \u201cI see\u201d, he meant that he understood what had happened.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s for the sake of survival, right? He went there to beg his sister to save his life. That\u2019s really enough. Why didn\u2019t he consider that his sister was in poor health? She can\u2019t even live a healthy life herself. How could she donate bone marrow to him?\u201d<\/p>\n
Leon was very indignant and mocked, \u201cHe went there to beg her now. What did he do back then?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBack then?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cayne didn\u2019t know much.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? Don\u2019t you know? She was in jail.\u201d Leon gave a meaningful look at Cayne\u2019s handsome face.<\/p>\n
Bang!<\/p>\n
Leon suddenly stood up, his strength so great that the leather sofa was slightly shifted. He stood upright, smiled stiffly, and stared straight at Cayne.<\/p>\n
\u201cListen to me. It\u2019s time to let it go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cayne\u2019s eyelids trembled as he opened his mouth to ask why when Leon turned around and strode away.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo!\u201d Cayne suddenly stood up from the chair, rushed towards Leon\u2019s back, and shouted impatiently, \u201cI won\u2019t listen to you!\u201d<\/p>\n
Leon didn\u2019t stop. He shook his head, and chuckled with his back towards him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThree years ago, I didn\u2019t trust her. I thought I knew what kind of woman she was, and labeled her self-righteously. Leon, You Chinese say that if you know you make mistakes, you should correct them. Now, I will no longer label her self-righteously just by my feeling. I trust her no matter what others say!\u201d Leon heard Cayne\u2019s firm voice.<\/p>\n
Leon raised his right foot in mid-air and paused for three seconds. Then he stepped forward and said to Cayne with his back towards him, \u201cYou\u2019ll know.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for what he would know, Leon did not tell him.<\/p>\n
Cayne still didn\u2019t understand the complex and mysterious situation just like he did back then.<\/p>\n
The corners of Leon\u2019s lips curved with bitterness.<\/p>\n
\u201cLeon!\u201d Cayne chased after him and shouted anxiously, \u201cTell me! What will I know? Leon! You must tell clearly before you leave!\u201d<\/p>\n
Cayne\u2019s anxiety was clearly transmitted to Leon. He stopped abruptly, turned around and pondered for a moment, but he said, \u201cCayne, if you insist on letting me give you a piece of advice. Then I suggest that you apologize to Grace seriously and sincerely. And then you should never visit her again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leon ignored the stunned Cayne. He turned around and strode away. Then he disappeared after turning around a corner. Cayne hadn\u2019t realized that his trust and respect were extremely precious three years ago. It was something that Grace wanted desperately. As for today, after three years, Cayne had done the stupidest thing. He always gave the most important thing at the wrong time.<\/p>\n
As a result, it became unimportant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1493","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1493","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=1493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
