I've Been There Before

Chapter 23 Caden Kissed Her

"No!" Grace responded in a hurry, “I didn’t hide from you, Mr. Shaw!"

Lies!

She was hiding from him!

But...

"What's the matter with your voice?" How hoarse was her voice!

"I have a sore throat.” Grace lowered her eyes and refused to say more.

“Are you afraid of me?"

Grace's eyelids twitched, but she didn't refute.

Caden who was standing beside her bed raised his eyebrows slowly and felt even unhappier.

Suddenly, he leaned forward. Grace saw in a horrified trance as he propped an arm on the mattress beside her, and suddenly narrowed the distance between them.

His other hand reached out to Grace; and when she subconsciously shrunk backwards, Caden said in a calm voice, "Don't move."

Seeing that Grace sat motionless obediently, Caden pushed her bangs aside and ran his fingers on the scar on her forehead. Grace was already not well; it was really hard for her to ignore Caden’s cold finger touching her.

Caden stroked the scar softly with his fingers, pursed his lips, and asked unhappily, "How did you get this scar?”

Grace looked up at Caden in front of her... Hypocritical bastard!

How did she get it? As if he didn’t know about it!

She replied stiffly, "Got hurt." Thanks to you! She added in her heart.

The finger stroked the scar and slowly began to travel downwards towards her lips.

Her skin beneath his fingertips was dry and peeling, and was pale in color.

Grace did not dare to move at all. She stayed in her place with her neck stiff, as his palm held most of her face.

His thumb moved across her lips, caressing softly. The strange thing was, even though her lips were not soft and plump nor pink and alluring like blooming petals, her dry and pale lips somehow aroused his desire.

Caden's eyes became dark with desire. The next second, he took her lips unceremoniously.

His fiery hot lips covered hers. Grace had no strength to resist, she passively accepted Caden's domineering kiss.

Sweet... Caden was totally immersed in the kiss. After the kiss, he suddenly remembered...

"Is my kiss good or was that bastard Franklin's kiss better?"

Grace was still in a daze, and her pale face had become red because of the kiss. Before she could recover from the kiss, she heard Caden ask her coldly.

“Huh?”

What ‘Huh’? Caden frowned, "I'm asking you something. Is my kiss good or that bastard’s? "

What the fuck is this?

Seeing that Grace still didn’t answer, Caden was annoyed.

How long did it take to think about it?

Was that bastard Franklin's kiss that good? Did it leave such a long-lasting aftertaste?

An unknown strange anger erupted in Caden’'s body; Grace didn’t even have the time to understand what was happening. She just had time to take in a sharp breath as she was pushed down on the bed hard and pressed by Caden. The next second, Caden lowered his head and kissed her on her face. Grace let out a “Oh” as Caden brought his hot lips frantically close to her lips and kissed her fiercely.

Sucking or biting, he must hurt her! Caden couldn't understand his own thoughts and the strange emotion erupted in his heart, even though the woman under him was the culprit who killed Wallis three years ago at the moment, and even though he hated this woman.

But he could never allow this woman to have other men in her heart!

She was not allowed to into Franklin! Or anyone else! Except for Caden, even if Grace lived her whole life under his torment, he would never allow other men to live in her heart!

At that moment, Caden didn't think about why he had such a crazy overpowering desire only for Grace.

He had decided long ago that he hated this woman, but he never thought about why he cared so much about Grace's every move.

Later, he would regret it countless times; he would regret what he did to her today and three years ago.

“Ahem, ahem!"

Someone coughed pointedly outside the door of the ward. Grace was startled and subconsciously pushed Caden's shoulder away from her.

However, the man was stubborn and powerful. He folded his arm around her pressing her under him. He put a big hand on Grace's cheek, trying to confine her in this manner, and continued to kiss her lips. He sucked her lips and made unscrupulous sucking noises, not caring that there was a third person in the ward.

Grace's face flushed red and hot in embarrassment. The sound of kissing echoed in the entire ward.

In the midst of kissing, Caden opened his eyes without interrupting the kiss. His dark eyes locked on the face of the woman in his arms; her intoxicated stance made him satisfied.

Only then did he let her go, and elegantly glanced at the door of the ward.

"What are you doing?" He asked in a lazy voice.

Fucking bastard!

Humbert was about to lose his mind in annoyance!

He called him to run to the restaurant to pick up food and now he had the audacity to ask him what he was doing here?

Caden... Could you be more shameless?

Humbert placed the huge thermos on the cabinet beside the bed, "Don't do this kind of thing in the future. It's immoral to do this in broad day light."

Caden didn't react at all. However, Grace was red from head to toe.

She buried her head in shame, wishing to find a crack in the ground to disappear into.

In just a moment, so many things had happened. Grace was very muddle-headed and confused... Caden kissed her?

Why did Caden kiss her suddenly?

Grace's heart was flustered and confused.

Her heart that had been dead for such a long time was shaken up in a moment.

Humbert pulled Caden by his hand and pulled him out of the ward.

"She, she... Is she Grace James?” Humbert knew that it was Grace. He recognized her that day in Room 606. But what he couldn't believe was the scene he just saw in the ward... She was pressed under Grace and he kissed her, really?

"What? Don't you have eyes to see?”

"No!" Humbert grabbed Caden, who had already turned around and was about to enter the ward, "Caden, you don't have feelings for her, do you?"

Oh!

This time, Humbert was successful in making Caden pause in his tracks. The man slowly turned around and looked at Humbert dangerously,

"Who are you talking about? Feelings for who?"

"Grace." Who else could he be talking about? Humbert could feel Caden’s eyes pierce through his soul. Caden, my bro, please don't use your infrared eyes to scan me anymore, OK?

He just put forward a reasonable guess! Was it necessary to treat him like this?

When Caden went into the ward again, he found Grace sitting there stiff, as if she was frozen in the ice cellar!

He glanced at her coldly as his thin lips spit out cold words, "Eat, I had Humbert specially go and buy the food on the bedside cabinet for you.”

Grace stared at Caden with her mouth open, but only she herself knew that a corner in her heart that was closed and silent for a long time was This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

slowly opening its door.

"After all, you are for sale. Since you are selling yourself, I should pay you if I kiss you." Then he took out his wallet, took out a large stack of cash from it, and carelessly threw it on Grace's bed, "This is the

reimbursement for your hospitalization by the company. If this is not enough then ask Gloria for more. "

Bang!

The door was opened and then closed again! "Take good care of your body so you can earn more money for me.”

Caden left looking chic and carefree, leaving Grace looking ashen-faced on the hospital bed.

She thought he kissed her because he felt something for her. She thought it might be a signal... She was wrong!

This man hates her, as always!

He would only torture her and humiliate her. He won't love her.

She was fooled again.
