It was very quiet. They sat on the sofa still. Grace asked a housekeeper to come.
They didn’t talk. He just kept staring at her… for more than half an hour.
No.
She couldn’t.
She couldn’t be soft-hearted.
She must ignore his pleading gaze. Caden was always a wolf. His nature wouldn’t change.
No matter how pure and poor he was now, his coldness and cruelty for decades had long been
engraved in her mind.
She could never forget it.
She made up her mind to send him away. All she needed to do was waiting Humbert to take him away,
and then she wouldn’t be so upset.
Then the indescribable feeling would go away.
Time passed too slowly. It was already the third time she checked the watch. The hot gaze beside her
almost burned her.
She turned her head around and left the gaze behind.
Humbert hadn’t come yet. A burst of phone ring break the strange atmosphere.
She quickly answered the call.
“Are you coming?”
There were hurried footsteps on that side, and she heard the sound of the airport broadcast as well.
What was wrong?
Humbert’s clean voice came.
“I’m not able to get there now.”
Her expression changed immediately, “What do you mean?”
“I’ll leave Caden to you. Take care of him.”
“Wait!” He was about to hang up the phone. “Why me? You have Ladd as well!”
“Ladd is busy.”
“What about Saul?”
“Not free either.”
“Then Deacon…”
“No matter who, they are not free.”
She was speechless, “Nobody is free?!”
So he was already going to leave this person to her?
Humbert stopped for a while, then he sneered.
“You don’t think it was a coincidence that Caden was shot in Italy, do you?”
“What… do you mean?”
“Ladd is with the others. Ingemar will stay in the Shaw Group. Ladd and I are heading to Rome.
Think about it. There were always protectors around Caden. Why was he shot?
You have been growing up with him. Have you ever seen him hurt so badly?”
She was silent. Although she did not want to admit it, she agreed with him. She glanced at the man
beside her. His gaze didn’t move a bit. He seemed to say, “I’m not leaving.”
“There are some clues and we have to get there now.
If Caden was conscious, we wouldn’t be so anxious.
His mind stopped in his eight years old. No clues could be missed. We must find out the main culprits.
Otherwise, they will always be problems. “
She looked at the man and hesitated for a while. She gritted her teeth.
“When will you come back?”
“It depends. We also hope that we can find out them and resolve the troubles as soon as possible. His
current situation is impossible to be concealed forever.
Neither Master Shaw nor Kern was an easy person.
I could tell that if Caden doesn’t appear within a month, Master Shaw will investigate his whereabouts.”
He pursed his lips, “Ingemar can’t leave to go with us. Ladd and I have to go.
You’re the only person Caden can trust.
Grace, I know that my request may not be acceptable.
But I still hope that you can take good care of Caden during this period of time.”
He paused for a moment and added something,
“He is only an eight-year-old child now.”
He didn’t say it directly, but she understood what he meant. Forget about what happened between
them temporally. Didn’t bother about the past.
She was speechless and hung up the phone.
She turned to look at the man… Temporarily forgot the past?
Why not just knock her out?
If she could really forget about it, at the very least, there would be no nightmares anymore.
She stood up and picked up the backpack, as if she was about to leave.
Caden shouted and stopped her.
“Grace, where are you going? Do you hate Caden? Caden doesn’t want to leave.”
She did not turn around,
“I’m going to the supermarket.”
“What for?”
He asked questions tirelessly, liked a curious student in class.
She opened the door and finally turned her gaze to him.
“The tableware was broken. Don’t we need new ones?
You only have one set of clothes. Don’t you need more?
Do you want to be barefoot all the time?
Don’t you need a razor?
You still want to share the same toothbrush with me?
So shouldn’t I go to the supermarket? “
She turned around and closed the door directly.
In the room, Caden’s gaze was dazed and filled with joy gradually.
He quickly opened the door and chased after her.
Just as she was about to enter the elevator, she heard footsteps. “Why come out?”
“I want to go with you!” His clean eyes shining brightly.
When she met that pair of innocent eyes, she was somewhat soft-hearted. She tried to maintain to be
indifferent, “You can’t.”
“I want to go!”
She was slightly annoyed… He was really unreasonable like a child.
“No!” she said resolutely.
“Grace… I want to go.” He blinked his eyes, as if he was pleading, “Caden was strong. Caden can help
Grace to carry things.”
“No.” She was unmoved.
“But Caden wants to go… Caden is lonely. Only fishes in the pond could play with Caden. And Ladd
ignores Caden as well. Caden wants to go out so much.”
His words made her heart ached. ‘“Do you really want to go?”
“Yes, I really, really want to go with Grace.” She looked down at the hand that was tightly grabbing her
clothes and sighed… Alright! Caden! You won!
