Chapter 289
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 289<\/p>\n
With exhaustion, Grace drove to the residential building, but she did not park the car in the underground garage. She sat in the car and did not want to get off. She rolled down the car window, stretched out her head, and looked up.<\/p>\n
Her house was lit brightly.<\/p>\n
Before Caden came to live here, it was often very dark.<\/p>\n
Now, the lights were bright, indicating that there was someone in the house waiting for her to return.<\/p>\n
But why was she so resistant?<\/p>\n
It was a very chaotic day. Cayne and Payne all came. She rushed from one battlefield to another battlefield. Home was the most private place, but she wasn\u2019t in a hurry to go back now.<\/p>\n
During the day, Ingemar came to fetch the key. Without saying a word, he took the key and left. However, it made her feel that she was not a good person. She could not even tolerate a person who had only eight-year-old\u2019s intelligence.<\/p>\n
The phone rang in the quiet car.<\/p>\n
She reached for it and answered the phone call.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome out for a drink. Well, I\u2019ll drink wine, and you can drink tea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing the familiar voice, Grace subconsciously relaxed. A trace of joy appeared on her delicate face. \u201cSure. The usual place?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, the usual place. I\u2019ll wait for you there.\u201d<\/p>\n
After ending call, Grace put down her phone, started the car, hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out her head to look at the brightly lit window upstairs.<\/p>\n
She pursed her lips and pressed the accelerator. She shouldn\u2019t be soft-hearted. Don\u2019t be soft-hearted. He was at home and wouldn\u2019t get lost.<\/p>\n
The car stopped at a club and the waiter led her to an elegant private room.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome and sit. Here is the new tea.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGloria, you are very considerate. You know I like drinking tea.\u201d Grace walked into the private room, put down her bag, took off her coat, and sat down.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve been so busy, superwoman. How have you been lately?\u201d<\/p>\n
Gloria said as she poured tea for Grace.<\/p>\n
Grace smiled, \u201cGloria, if you have something to say, just say it directly. I feel awkward to hear words like superwoman.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, alright, I won\u2019t tease you anymore,\u201d Gloria said straightforwardly, \u201cI heard something recently.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTell me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFranklin, do you remember him?\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace stared down and said calmly, \u201cThe young master of the Cordon Group, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
Gloria was really smart. Hearing the tone of Grace\u2019s words, she knew that Grace didn\u2019t want to talk about Franklin.<\/p>\n
Sure enough, that incident back then was still painful for Grace.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s right. He\u2019s been at night club quite often lately.\u201d<\/p>\n
Without waiting for Gloria to finish her sentence, Grace said softly, \u201cYoung Master Cordon has always playful. It is not surprising.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Gloria\u2019s eyes glittered. In a split second, she guessed what Grace was thinking and chuckled.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen you\u2019re obviously behind time now.\u201d Gloria gently rotated the wine glass in her hand and clicked her tongue. \u201cHey, Miss James, you are already the CEO of a listed company. Your information is so scarce.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace didn\u2019t answer and drank her tea, waiting for Gloria to continue talking.<\/p>\n
\u201cA few days ago, I saw Young Master Cordon in Royal Club.<\/p>\n
Although she didn\u2019t want to admit it, at that moment, she clearly realized that she could hate him, blame him, or even take revenge on him, but she couldn\u2019t put him at risk.<\/p>\n
Gloria didn\u2019t ask further.<\/p>\n
After pondering for a moment, Gloria said, \u201cGrace, I just want to tell you that Kern is not a good person. Franklin has always been in conflict with Kern. Everyone in S City knows that Franklin and Kern had a bad relationship and are always in conflict. It\u2019s been a long time since boss appeared in public.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace\u2019s eyelids twitched, and a trace of caution appeared in her eyes. She looked up at Gloria gloomily. Even Gloria had seen that something was wrong, so what about Master Shaw?<\/p>\n
That shrewd and powerful old man probably already had suspicion.<\/p>\n
She took another deep look at Gloria, but Gloria changed topic at this moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoss has saved my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
She chuckled as she crossed her hands and placed them on the table. Her eyes were filled with memories and gazed blankly. \u201cBoss has done me a great favor. I, Gloria, am not an ungrateful. Grace, before I met you, I never disobeyed a single word or order from boss. You are the only one that made me disobey him. Do you know why?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGloria, you once said that I was like you back then.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gloria\u2019s lips curled into a miserable smile, \u201cYes, you are like me back then. It\u2019s to help myself more than help you. I helped you as if I had helped myself back then. Even though I knew very well that I would not be able to change those past things just because of what I did then. Grace, I wished you would be happy. It was just like I wished I could be happy back then.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace had never seen such a sad side of Gloria before, and she could only feel regret for her.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoss really cares about you. It\u2019s just that he doesn\u2019t know what affection is, what love is. He \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGloria!\u201d Grace suddenly interrupted Gloria and held the cup of tea in her hands tightly. \u201cYou invited me over today. If you want to have a casual chat and have drinks with me, I would be very grateful to you.But I don\u2019t want to hear anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace\u2019s face was as white as a sheet of paper, and his eyes were filled with pain. \u201cHe is the tribulation of my life. To fall in love with him was the beginning of my mistake. I loved him so much, so I almost ruined my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace raised her head suddenly and her eyes turned red. \u201cGloria, is it enough to ruin my life?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1494","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1494","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=1494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
