I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 145

Caden Shaw’s behavior didn’t comfort Grace James at all, but on the contrary, Grace almost went mad for the man’s abnormal tenderness.

He forced her into the corner, step by step, and finally, she had no route to retreat.

Grace didn’t know what Caden wanted to do. She preferred to endure his bullying rather than accept this man’s sudden gentleness!

It was too horrible!

It even scared Grace much more than his decision to send her into prison!

“Mr. Shaw? Why?” Finally, Grace couldn’t help asking. She closed her eyes suddenly, and instantly opened again.

Why did this man suddenly become so gentle? Could Caden Shaw also be tender?

Yes, he could!

But she was never the one who he showed his gentleness to!

Caden took the hair dryer away, and helped Grace to tuck her hair behind her ears. Then he said still indifferently. “Have a good rest.”

He turned around. Grace intended to pull his clothes, but in the end, she stopped her hand in the air.

Grace dared not to break the peaceful facade.

“Oh, by the way, you’d better think carefully about your duty to take over Wei’ai.” As Caden walked close to the door, he turned back and said this meaningfully.

Then he turned around again and left.

It was one more sleepless night for Grace.

However, she got up early the next morning, put on the suit and well dressed up herself. As she dressed her hair and touched her forehead, she was still cowardly to roll up her bangs and reveal her horrible scar.

Grace looked at herself in the mirror, with examining eyes. ‘Grace, are you really brave enough to stand in front of everyone in public again?’ She asked herself like this.

However, she had no way back.

She couldn’t let Leona down, as well as her grandpa.

The only thing she could do...was to face the challenges.

Grace could realize how cheerless Wei’ai now was. She would be in grave regret if she didn’t save Wei’ai.

The sunlight shined on Grace’s face as she opened the door and went out of the bathroom. She squinted her eyes, and saw the man sleeping on the sofa had woken up already.

Caden’s dark eyes scanned Grace up and down. Then he took the suit on the sofa and said coolly. “Let’s go.”

Grace followed him in silence. The driver in the car was waiting for them downstairs. Grace and Caden got into the car and sat on the backseats.

The driver in the front handed them two breakfasts. Caden took one to Grace. “Take it.”

But Grace didn’t take it.

“You can’t win the war in hunger.” The man said. “The difficulties you’re gonna face are beyond your imagination.”

Grace knew Caden’s meaning. Three years was long enough for the James family to move Grace’s followers from the critical position in Wei’ai.

That was to say, though Grace finally got the right to lead Wei’ai again, her position would be left hanging in the air.

Grace even had no idea about the methods to deal with it.
