I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 163

Grace James had waited for Caden Shaw’s trust for so long that she was already despairing. ‘Caden Shaw, since you have been reluctant to trust me for too long, you’d better never trust me!’ Grace thought like this.

Caden’s trust was useless for her after she had been hopeless for too long.

“It’s late, Mr. Shaw. It’s time for you to sleep.” Grace said indifferently.

The man stood by the bed, and stared at the woman who turned her back to him. He was in a daze... He felt part of his heart was dug out mercilessly.

She was even unwilling to care about her image in his eyes.

She even didn’t care about his distrust, so definitely she ignored his trust.

Caden stood straight by the bed, and his eyes were full of daze... He was wondering why she had changed so much after years.

This woman was lying so close to him, but why he felt she was far away from him?

She even tried to hard to meet him abroad years ago. The long distance couldn’t stop her love for him. She was as fever as the moth to the flame. So...it was him who had burned her down?

The different counties didn’t stop them, but the bed made them become the most familiar strangers to each other?

Caden’s calm face expressed a little bit of anxiety.

He had never thought that the woman, who he could see whenever he turned back, no matter how far he left and where he had gone, would be disappeared one day when he suddenly turned back again.

Was he too...overconfident?

Too ruthless?

Was it him who had worn down all the woman’s love for him?

Grace lay on the bed, and looked indifferent, but actually her face was full of tears.

Always, she was too weak in front of him.

Caden, standing by the bed, numbly gazed at the woman’s back. He was always calm and had no sense of love, but now his mind was in chaos.

The quilt suddenly sank down.

Grace clearly felt on a source of heat. Her first reaction was to wipe away her tears on her face. She couldn’t let him find the damned tears!

However, she was unable to be faster than the man. Caden suddenly rolled over and pressed himself on the woman’s body. He stared at the woman under his body. The woman raised her hands to cover her face, tightly and hurriedly.

Caden was puzzled. He reached out his hands to pushed her arms aside.

“No.”

However, her refusal couldn’t stop his will to push her arms away... Why did she cover her face so tightly? Was she even unwilling to let him see her face?

There was a flash of sorrow in Caden’s eyes. He insisted on pushing her arms away, but Grace today was too stubborn. Caden was so anxious that he aggressively grabbed her wrists, and suddenly pulled her arms down. He shouted. “Look at my...” Face...

He finally drove her arms away, but her tears stunned him.

The man’s eyes were like substantial. Grace awkwardly turned her head aside, under his gaze.

“You...” Looking at the woman dumbly, and gazing at her wet eyelashes and red eyes, he was in a mixed mood, sorrowful, and pleased. “You’re...crying?” She was crying... Did it mean that under her indifferent expression and numb mask, in her deep heart, she still loved him?

Grace bit her lips. “It has nothing to do with you.”

‘My tears are not for you.”

That was what she wanted to tell this man.

However, the sudden smile appeared on the man’s handsome face. He suddenly lowered his head and lightly kissed her lips. “Grace.”

He even didn’t feel satisfied, so he kissed once more. “Grace.”

He called her name every time when he kissed her soulfully.

Grace was in a daze... Could she trust him?

Could she?

No!

She had offered him numerous opportunities, but her trust all turned to be the disappointment.

Grace nudged the man above her body. “Mr. Shaw. Do you want my body?”

Caden’s smiling face was frozen all of a sudden. He couldn’t believe what this woman said just now!

“You should know I have been to prison. Those things are inevitable for criminals in prison.

We’re like the prostitute and her guest.”

Grace took the initiative to pulled the quilt away, and then tore her pajama.

Her arm entangled his neck as deftly as a snake. Grace, the woman now doing such things, looked more enchanting than ever before.

However, Caden, who was pressing her body, suddenly got up and moved away from her arm.

Grace supported her up with her hand on the bed, and got close to Caden again. She chuckled invitingly. “Mr. Shaw, don’t you want me?”

Caden stared at the enchanting but strange woman in front of her, a hint of regret flashing over in his eyes.

Grace gritted her teeth. She was sensitive enough...to catch that... What did he mean to express his regret to her?

Was it for her?

No!

Step by step, the main culprit who forced her to be in such a situation was just this man who stared at her with regret in his eyes!

However, what did the regret mean?

Never mind, Grace mocked herself.

“Mr. Shaw...” She entangled the man again with her slender snake-like arm. She half knelt on the bed, and raised her head to look at him, with her arms around his neck.

“Mr. Shaw... You’re my great creditor, who I’m owing millions of money. You must be starved, since you lay on the bed just now, right?”

Grace forced herself to give up on her soul and the no much dignity. She lured the man in front of her like a devil, while she kept brainwashing herself.

It was okay, and it would all be fine.

Since in his eyes, she was already as degraded as the dirt, she shouldn’t have cared about anything. As long as he wanted, she should be even more degraded. She should forget any of her dignity, since she had already been arrested in prison.

Maybe... He would lose his interest, when he thought she was too cheap.

So be it. He had better leave her alone, to let her decay and mildew.

Grace began to perform harder. Though her voice was broken, she tried to call him coquettishly. “Mr. Shaw... Don’t you really want me?”

She knew she must look dirty now, and she knew in this man’s eyes...no, in everyone’s eyes who could watch her look now, she, Grace James, was a commodity whose value could be measured with money.

She knew this!

So what?

Anyway, she didn’t care about this.

Grace’s fingers swept over Caden’s throat. Caden’s dark and cold eyes turned bright. He looked down at this woman, as if he had known everything.

Caden stopped dodging like before, but reached out his hand to grab her hand that was touching his collarbone. “Who taught you all of these actions?”

His deep voice was grave. “Huh?” Only one word could lure women to commit a crime. His flirting tone easily zapped Grace’s efforts. He was even much better at flirting.

Grace’s complexion changed a little bit. “Mr. Shaw, You...you should remember my job. I don’t need anyone to teach me these actions. Maybe...those guests in Dong Huang Club taught me all of these.”

Caden held Grace’s soft hand, and played it in his huge palm. Then he said in a slow tone. “You misunderstood my meaning. I mean, your actions and skills are too verdant.

If you really learned those actions from the guests in Dong Huang Club, I have to say they are not skilled.”

Grace was stunned... Did distant Mr. Shaw also do well in flirting?

“Do you know how to flirt skillfully?” The man said this gracefully, while he played her fingers. “Come on.” All of a sudden, he pulled her into his arms. “Let me teach you.”
