I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden)

Kern's

face was gloomy.

He regretted it.

That day if he did not make that damned bet, he would not go to that bar!

And he wouldn't have let her out.

At the same time, even though Kern was far away in Yunnan, the information spread so fast that even he knew someone was eager to look for her.

The assistant behind him stood behind him bravely.

Kern grabbed the phone and wanted to devour the man who had sent the message.

Then he sent messages to his friends. "Help me check Mr. Shwn's itinerary."

He had a bad hunch.

Sure enough!

"The Shaw Group is being run by Humbert White now, and Caden is probably not in S right now."

Kern's clenched his fists and smashed straight into the glass coffee table.

Suddenly, the tea table broke into pieces.

"Mr. LO, your hand is bleeding."

The assistant wanted to call the doctor.

"Go away!" The man croaked, "Get out!"

If he knew it was going to be like this, he would never have run to that stage, even though he'd lost the bet, and she had really driven him away, even if... It was better to stay away from her than to let her be found again!

What Kern hated most about himself was that he knew she was living a peaceful life, but that peace was going to be disturbed!

He went downstairs, looked up, and scarcely thought that the woman must be sitting in the sun on the bamboo deck-chair.

With the blue sky and clear water and fragrant flowers, the woman was drinking tea under the sun... It seemed that everything stood still, and it was more beautiful and peaceful than any picture he had ever seen painted by the best painter. But everything would be gone soon!

"Boss."

Kern walked over.

The woman gave him no answer.

If he had not seen it clearly or understood her that night, then he just needed to think for a few more days and might be he would know her feelings.

"Boss!"

Kern said loudly.

The woman pretended not to hear him, continued to close her eyes.

The man stood behind her with a wry smile... she didn't love him, so she wouldn't give him any hope?

"You are indeed a cruel woman."

Even though he stood in front of her, and he was good enough that even if an average woman would not love him, at least she would not ignore him so firmly.

At least there were some women showed sympathy for him.

But she wouldn't.

"Should I hate you, or thank you?"

She did not love him, so she did not give her a response.

Reason told him that this was the greatest tenderness for the one who fell in love first.

He knew exactly how good he was, exactly how handsome he looked, and he was also well aware of how many women he could tempt to scream for him with his status and money.

It was because he knew how handsome and rich he was, so he knew how attractive he was to women.

This woman, on the other hand, was so sensible. If she did not love him, she would ever give him a response.

It was because of her behavior and calmness that made her more precious than those women who didn't break relationship with him because of his money and richness.

The precious she was, the more attractive she was.

But why did Caden encounter her first?

Why!

The woman did not look at him, so Kern stepped forward and stopped in front of her. "Let me take you away, boss!" he said.

He almost made up his mind, "I'll take you to a place where no one knows you anymore! Come with me!"

She looked so calm and peaceful that he wanted to protect her from anyone or anything disturbing her peaceful life.

The woman seemed to hear something weird, "Mr. Lo, are you crazy?"

Looking at her, Kern could not say anything. Her trace had been found, and he dared not to tell her that her easy life was coming to an end.

"I mean it, boss. I'm taking you away." Kern said, "Go to Provence, Versailles, Venice, any places where no one knows you anymore. I'll take care of you for the rest of my life."

The woman took one look at Kern, pulled her blanket back, stood up, and walked slowly down the hall.

"Carol, get me the medical kit and put a bandage on Mr. Lo's hand. I'm a bit tired. I'm going upstairs to bed first."

Behind her, Kern clenched his fists and the blood flowed down bit by bit.

"Grace!"

After all, he could not refrain from shouting out the name just as the woman was about to ascend the stairs.
