Chapter 295
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 295<\/p>\n
In the end, the fatty\u2019s bat did not land on Grace.<\/p>\n
However, it landed firmly on a broad back.<\/p>\n
The fatty was so scared that his hands trembled. The leader of the thugs looked at the person who appeared out of thin air. Just now, he was thrown to the corner by a force. Not knowing how too much, he just looked at the person who just popped out in astonishment. \u201cYou … who are you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Where did this guy come from?<\/p>\n
He was still thinking about it when he suddenly realized that he hadn\u2019t done his job. He coldly snorted and shouted, \u201cFatty, hit!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo buts! Once we\u2019re done, we\u2019ll leave the city immediately. We\u2019ll never come back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut this person, what if \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t think too much but the money! It\u2019s enough for us to live happily for a lifetime. After this, we will be idle and enjoy our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
That fatty was frightened by the man who just showed up and hesitated. The leading hooligan noticed it and shouted, \u201cYou are not committing murder or arson. What are you afraid of? Even if we were caught, we would be only convicted of assault. After a few years in prison, we will be clean. Where can\u2019t we go with that large sum of money?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
The fatty was panic because of the accident and mindless due to the words of the leading hooligan. Behind the fatty, a sturdy man rudely pushed him away.<\/p>\n
\u201cShut up!<\/p>\n
Damn fatty! If you don\u2019t do it, I\u2019ll!\u201d<\/p>\n
The sturdy man swung the baseball bat and hit the person in front him.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook! Just like it. Damn fatty, we agreed that the one who hit people will get an extra share of the money. Seeing that you are a loser and a virgin, we are afraid that you won\u2019t find a woman and left this good job to you. With an extra portion of the money, you can find a wife. Since you are unwilling to do it, then get lost. I will take the extra portion of the money.\u201d<\/p>\n
The sturdy man raised the bat and hit again.<\/p>\n
\u201cOuch!\u201d<\/p>\n
A muffled groan came to Grace\u2019s ear. She raised her head in a trance. In the dark night, someone hugged her. Someone tightly trapped her to keep her safe. The person\u2019s muffled groan could be heard. Vaguely, she seemed to have returned to the prison back then. A girl had taken all the pain for her.<\/p>\n
It sounded like \u2026 Leona.<\/p>\n
\u201cLeona \u2026\u201d In an instant, her eyes got moist and sore, \u201cLeona \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
At this time, she realized that she had missed Leona for so long.<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t dare to admit it for a long time, so long that she could only mourn with Leona\u2019s memorial tablet.<\/p>\n
She was guilty.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace \u2026 don\u2019t be afraid.\u201d<\/p>\n
A man\u2019s deep voice came into her ears.<\/p>\n
Grace trembled coldly and came to her senses. With the moonlight, she looked at the face of the person lying on her. That face was so familiar to her though it turned into ashes.<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss James, do you know him? Who is he?\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace said coldly, \u201cWe don\u2019t know each other. Aren\u2019t you paid to do your job? Don\u2019t you just want my hand? Let go of the innocent. You don\u2019t have to do anything. I\u2019ll cripple my hand in case I owe anyone a favor.\u201d<\/p>\n
The guy in the lead laughed and said, \u201cDo you think I\u2019m stupid? You don\u2019t know each other? Liar!\u201d<\/p>\n
If they didn\u2019t know each other, how could he call her name?<\/p>\n
\u201cSay it!\u201d After that, the man in lead turned to the sturdy man and said, \u201cWell, leave this man alone. Anyway, we\u2019ll be out of S City tonight and never come back. Big man, go break one of her arm!\u201d<\/p>\n
… The sound of the stick smashing into his back caused her heart to feel an inexplicable pain.<\/p>\n
Before her eyes, he was hugging her. She looked up at the man who was sweating profusely and furrowing his brows tightly in pain. A large palm suddenly covered the back of her head and pressed her back into his embrace.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, endure it. Don\u2019t be afraid. Caden will protect Grace.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace\u2019s breathing slowed down, and a sour feeling that she hadn\u2019t have for a long time gradually filled her heart \u2026 Endure it?<\/p>\n
What was she going to endure?<\/p>\n
He said he would protect her.<\/p>\n
Caden had always been arrogant and aloof like a wolf, domineering like a tiger, and extremely tough. Such a man would keep the woman he promised in safe by all means.<\/p>\n
However, the man at this moment acted like a child. He was not as powerful as Caden who was tough. How could he protect her?<\/p>\n
She was in his arms, with her eyes wide open. How could he protect her?<\/p>\n
His back bore the blow of the bat for her.<\/p>\n
This person used his body to protect her from the slightest harm.<\/p>\n
In his arms, she opened her eyes, full of tears.<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t know why she shed tears, but she heard this man groan in pain.<\/p>\n
In the past, Caden would knock down the person who tried to threaten him, but now, he would use his shoulders and back to keep her from the harm of the world.<\/p>\n
Grace\u2019s nose became sour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1500","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1500","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=1500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
