I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 159

Why was she here?

How could she be here?

How could Sir bring her here?

This was the place where Wallis had lived since she was a child. This place did not allow this woman to come!

The old butler's silver hair was hanging down on his forehead, with blue veins exposed because of anger!

Sam tried his best to suppress the anger roaring out of his chest!

He was the old butler of the Shaw family who had served the Shaw family for generations. The old butler tried his best to endure at this moment. He was about to burst out his anger, but he still maintained his last trace of reason, "Sir, she... Miss Grace, why does she appear here?"

When he said the two words ‘Miss Grace’, he almost gritted his teeth and glared at Grace with a cold look.

Grace was still sitting in the back seat of the car, but not calm.

Her dropping head was not because of guilt, but because she didn’t know how to face Mr. Sam, a person who she had been calling him Mr. Sam since she was a child.

Who should be blamed for Wallis death, Grace’s real grievances and this old man’s misery?

"I don't want to live here."

The woman in the car broke the silence unexpectedly.

The man outside the car looked surprised.

Then he waved to the woman in the car, "Come here." The low voice with the overbearing came to her.

Seeing that the woman in the car didn't move, Caden suddenly leaned in the car and grabbed the forearm of the woman with his hand, then he brought her out with a clever effort.

Everything came off guard, Grace exclaimed "Ah". Before she could react, she was pulled out of the car. She lost balance suddenly and was about to fall down. The next second, she was caught by a long and sturdy arm. Then, on top of her head, the person's cold voice sounded.

"If Mr. Venus is unwilling to stay in this manor, you can pack up your things and go back to grandfather today. Of course, I will also give you a large pension. If Mr. Venus is unwilling to return to grandfather, this pension is also enough for you to enjoy your rest life comfortably."

What!

Sam suddenly raised his head with a sudden shock on his face. "Sir, you misunderstood. I... I'm just curious about why Miss Grace suddenly appeared here. I... I’m caught off guard by Miss Grace's sudden appearance. I don’t mean anything."

"Is it?" He asked in cold voice.

Sam' back was soaked by sweat at the moment. The gaze on top of his head was like a sharp blade which seemed to be able to penetrate his heart. He nodded nervously, "Sir, please rest assured. Our Venus family has been loyal to the master for generations. And the member of the Venus family is born to learn to follow the professional ethics of butlers. No matter... what unpleasant there is between me and Miss Grace, I will uphold the self-cultivation of a butler and treat Miss Grace politely."

Sam bent over. Although he couldn't see Caden's expression, his whole body was tense. He was already very tense. It was not until the gaze above his head disappeared that he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Grace didn’t know if Caden really believed in Sam’ words. He glanced at Sam lightly, "You'd better do what you say." Although he said that, he was already thinking about finding someone to replace Sam.

It was just that the Venus family had served the Shaw family for several generations. If Caden rashly found someone to replace Sam... After all, they had so many years of master-servant friendship. Caden looked at the old man in front of him who was still vigorous, but was already old. Since Caden was a child, Sam had been taking care of his daily life.

"Ten minutes later, you come to my study." He gave an order and took Grace into the room.

"Yes, Sir." Sam still maintained a respectful attitude. Until there were no more footsteps behind him, he slowly straightened up his waist. He faced back to the large manor. At this moment the poison called "resentment" had spread over his body.

"Have a rest. After lunch, I will let Gloria accompany you to the shopping mall." Caden led Grace into a bedroom.

Grace was actually familiar with the structure of this manor. When he led her to the second floor, she already knew where she was going. Caden couldn't see the complicated look of the woman beside her, so naturally he didn't know what she was thinking at the moment.

He just led her into the room. After giving a soft command, he turned to leave.

Grace stood still for a long time. She turned her head slowly to looked around. She looked very carefully, as if she wanted to observe every corner of the room.

Suddenly, her sight stopped!

It was the direction of his bedside.

If Caden did not go to the study at this moment but stayed here, he would definitely feel that the look of the woman at this moment was weird and abnormal.

It couldn't say whether she was happy or unhappy. Her gaunt face showed a weird look... which was like sadness, resentment and nostalgia...She was about to go there but she hesitated. She just stared in that direction.

At last!

She walked in that direction.

The solid wood bedside table really had a weight. No one knew what things the man had put in it. It was getting heavier.

She put her hands on the bedside table, then pull it out with all her strength. It didn’t move. After a while, she wiped her sweat, and continue.

She didn't dare to make a sound, so it was more difficult.

She still had the mood to tease herself. She was still young that year, and she didn’t know where to get the courage. She sneaked into his room. Relying on that incomparable "love", she pulled open the heavy solid wood beside table.

She just didn’t expect that he hadn’t changed the bed for so many years...

"Bang", in the end, there was a sound. Immediately, she tensed her body like a frightened bird. She looked at the door with a guilty conscience.

Five seconds later, the door was still closed. She remembered that the man went to the study room. She had been to the study room. She remembered that there was some distance from the study to the bedroom. After the man entered the study, he liked to keep the door closed.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at herself... What was she afraid of? He couldn't hear it.

Wiping off the sweat, she continued to work hard. She pulled and dug. Finally, she lifted the three pieces of floors under the bedside table.

The floors lifted up, revealing a piece of old paper.

She still remembered clearly what was written on the paper.

She looked at the old letter paper under the floor for five minutes, and finally she sighed silently, without touching it.

"Laughing at my youth and frivolousness. Ridiculing my arrogance and ignorance... I was so stupid. How could I defeat the fate? In the end, I was in jail and my heart broken. The wrong love in this life ruined my life." She closed her eyes. Tears were already wet her face. She laughed at herself that she fell in love with the wrong person and it ruined her whole life.

Raising her arms and wiping away the tears, her face once again returned to calmness, as if everything was just an illusion. She reinstalled the three pieces of floors, and pushed the bedside table back with her strength.

That letter paper just stayed here... One day, when she was desperate and hopeless to be free, then... she would stop struggling... Burn it clean!
