Steal my heart novel (Grace James and Caden Shaw)

Chapter 183 Dad Was Wrong

While Grace was “reminiscing the past” with Mrs. James at the garden, Jafar did not miss the

opportunity to talk to Caden. The resources held by the Shaw Group were actually the ones needed by

him at the moment.

Caden listened to his slightly flattering words and his intention was obvious at a glance. It would be

abnormal of him to not ask him for something or to do something when he came this time. If this old

guy did not pay him a visit for a purpose, for what did he come? It would turn out strange if there really

was no any purpose and he would need to think more about that. He took a sip of the whiskey and his

glance fell on the outside through the window. Although he was dealing with Jafar, he was occasionally

paying his attention to the outside.

Jafar followed his eyes and asked cautiously with some gauges. “Is President Shaw being worried of

Grace?” Caden retrieved his look blandly. He looked at him and put up a courteous smile without

answering him. Jafar was a man of culture and he did not ask him further from his look. He changed

the topic back to the question just now. “President Shaw, please have a look. Could you help me

regarding the new plan?” Caden rubbed his finger on the wine glass and did not intend to put it down. “I

need to ask Grace first.”

Jafar was astonished that he actually cared that much about Grace’s opinion. As they were talking, a

gust of cold wind suddenly blew into the room and Caden immediately put down the wine glass in his

hand. He stood up and strode forward while asking the butler for hot milk. He put his arm around Grace

and rubbed her hands. “How could you keep on going outside when you can’t withstand the cold? I’m

only turning a blind eye because Mrs. James has come. I won’t allow you to go to the garden and get

blown by the cold wind again next time. The weather’s nice today, but the wind’s still cold.” He rambled

on, blaming her for staying slightly longer at the garden.

Mr. and Mrs. James were startled having seen what was happening before their eyes. Everyone had

said Caden Shaw was a taciturn and strict person. Who would have expected the person who was

babbling like an old lady was actually the king of aloofness beholden by everyone? Grace was in a

daze too and she wondered when this person had started to become so talkative. Not only he was

talkative, he was blabbering on and on.

“Mister, the hot milk’s here.” The butler approached silently while carrying a tray with a glass of hot,

steamy milk on top. Caden took it over and said, “Drink this first. Mr. James has something to ask you

later.” Grace suddenly felt constrained and awkward. The more he showed his kindness, the more

suffer she felt. She took the glass quietly without uttering a word. As she had drunk half of the milk and Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

was ready to put the glass back onto the tray, Caden spoke. “I suppose Mr. James has something to

ask for Grace’s help?” His attitude towards Jafar was absolutely different from his attitude towards

Grace.

Jafar winced. He turned towards Grace and looked at her. “Grace…Dad was wrong.” A cracking sound

was heard when the glass fell onto the ground and the time seemed to freeze. Grace did not look at

Jafar. She stared at the broken glass and the pieces on the ground quietly without blinking. His words

had just struck her pain spot. Her father had finally said those three words until now! She could no

longer think, or even refused to think whether he had said it out of sincerity.

Maybe her eyes had gone sore after staring at the broken pieces for a long time, she blinked, trying to

relieve the soreness. “Mr. Garcia, I’m sorry for dropping the glass and dirty the floor. I’m tired, please

clean up here.” She spoke with a calm and steady voice, yet there was an indiscernible choke in her

coarse voice. She turned and headed to the upstairs, yet she halted when she stepped up the

staircase. “I’ll pay a visit to Mrs. James’s house next week.”

“Grace!” Both Mr. and Mrs. James’s eyes gleamed and they exclaimed out of surprise. Grace no longer

spoke further. As for what Jafar wanted to ask her, she refused to hear. A wise person like her had

given her answer if Caden was asking for her opinion. No matter it was due to her father’s confession

or to find out the truth of the case back then, she had to go to the James house once in order to

understand more. She had to “get over the past”.
