Steal my heart novel (Grace James and Caden Shaw)

Chapter 306 I’m Sorry and Thank You

When Cayne heard the word hunter again, he found that He disliked the word more and more.

Her eyes were incomparably clear and rational. At this moment, he felt a sense of embarrassment that

was thoroughly seen through by others.

She said there was no difference between the money of the past and the opportunity.

He really wanted to say that they were different.

However, in the next moment, he couldn’t refute it. Was there a difference?

He naturally understood her meaning. If he wasn’t so proficient in words, he could pretend that he

didn’t understand.

His hands gradually grew powerless.

There was no warmth in his palm. He stared at the woman’s arm. It was strange that such a thin arm

could easily fill the void in his palm.

It was strange that he felt so empty when her arm had disappeared from his palm.

In his eyes, the woman in front of him was vague. It was as if she was just an illusion.

Hunter?

He hated the word.

He could hear her rational response and see her clear eyes.

He also glanced at her black hair all the way down to her waist.

He couldn’t accept it!

He couldn’t accept it at all!

They were so close before. He could even remember the feeling when her hands were in his hands. It

was so real!

“You’re wrong.” Cayne said, “You locked yourself in a cage. The name of the cage is the past. Grace, I

look forward, but you look back.”

“That is why you’ll never be able to see me from your perspective.”

Cayne said those words unhappily. His heart was filled with eagerness to control everything. He asked

her,

“Do you think it is fair to me?”

The woman’s shoulders trembled slightly and her eyelashes gently moved. She opened her pale lips

slightly, and wanted to say something. But she didn’t.

Her gaze landed on the man’s angry eyes. Instead, she calmed down.

“If I still have time...” She paused for a moment, and her eyes sparkled slightly. “If I have a choice, I will

pretend to be arrogant and find Miffel to give up this opportunity.”

“Huh. You don’t want to owe me a favor, do you?”

“Yes.”

She said silently.

But she didn’t answer him.

“Cayne, anyway, I’m very grateful for your help. Naturally, at the end of the day, I will repay you

generously. I will not let you help me for nothing.”

“Damn it. I don’t want your return!”

“But there’s only one thing I want,” the man cursed impatiently. His chest heaved violently as he stared

at her.” If you want to thank me, give yourself to me. I won’t accept anything else.”

Her head ached a little. It didn’t make sense.

“Three years ago, I admitted that I was wrong.

Isn’t there a saying in China all will be forgiven if you correct your mistakes?

Do you want to lock yourself in the past forever?

Grace!”

He was rarely agitated. Cayne stared at her back. He was an excellent hunter, and he had always been

disciplined. But today, at this moment, he did not want to stick to damn discipline!

He wanted to indulge once!

He said that she was a gambler, but at this moment, he was the gambler.

When she was about to disappear from the door, he rushed over, suddenly hugging her.

Grace suddenly stiffened. She pursed her lips tightly and clenched her hands tightly. She pushed him

away. She was not used to the intimacy from others.

She made the instructions in her mind.

Forbidden.

She was a qualified practitioner, and she had to get rid of the embrace behind her. It was warm. There

was no doubt that Cayne’s chest was warm. For many years, she had longed for the warmth and it was

fine no matter who would give it to her.

But now, after those thousands of days, she was no longer used to being close to others.

Not to mention Cayne.

“I admit that I am despicable, but Grace, please walk out of the cage of the past.”

He mentioned the cage several times. She was inexplicably irritated, and became angry.

“When cage?

When do I live in the past?

Mr. Cayne, I’m afraid you’re hallucinating.

There was no such thing as a cage of the past.

Look at me. I’m fine now.”

She scolded angrily.

She struggled to get out of his embrace.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying. All I know is that I’m fine now.”

“Fine? Really? Grace, you’re a self-deceiving liar! Are you really fine? What about Payne’s illness and

the things that happened to your family?”

“Grace, are you really fine?”

The man couldn’t help but say directly. He suddenly stopped talking. He forced himself to calm down,

and closed his eyes. He opened his eyes again. However, when he touched her long hair, his eyes lit

up and he couldn’t help but blurt out,

“Don’t live in the past?”

Then why do you keep long hair? Who are you waiting for?

Waiting for Caden?

Is he that good?”

Grace’s delicate face turned deathly pale instantly.

“Let go!”

She panicked and became confused. She lost control.

Ran.

Just ran.

Just ran away.

If she escaped, maybe she could forget all this.

If she couldn’t see or hear, then she wouldn’t be in a chaotic state, and she wouldn’t feel suffocating

pain.

She thought so, and did so.

The moment when she escaped, Cayne’s eyes were filled with unwillingness!

He didn’t believe it!

He didn’t believe that he was worse than Caden.

Money, power, appearance. He had all of these that a successful man should have.

He never failed to get women he wanted before.

Men’s desire was sometimes really terrifying. It was so terrifying that it made him lose control. Cayne’s

eyes were filled with unwillingness. Her struggle aroused the desire that had been suppressed in his

heart.

“Aren’t you afraid that I will break the contract? Aren’t you afraid that the cooperation between our two

companies will stop?”

Grace took a deep breath. “If you break the contract unilaterally, I’m afraid you’ll have to pay a high

penalty.”

She stated the fact calmly.

The man smiled faintly.

“I do need money.”

“However, the reason why the James Group wants to cooperate with me is probably because of our

core technology, right?”

“If the capital chain of the James Group is broken, the liquidated damages in my company can’t help

you.”

“What the James Group really cares about is the sharing of our core technology after the cooperation.

That’s the necessary condition to help the James Group out of trouble, right?”

Grace swallowed her saliva. She didn’t refute. What she and the James Group really valued was

indeed the sharing of the core technology after the collaboration.

The trouble of the James Group was not something that could be remedied by a penalty.

“You already knew?” This man was so shrewd. He should have known it. At the beginning of the

cooperation, although she did not conceal anything when the contract was signed, at this moment, she

felt like someone was clear about her weakness.

“What if it is? And what is your choice?”

His gaze was burning as he stared at her.

Yes, he was despicable.

Cayne didn’t know that at this moment, he was more like a gambler in danger. He was gambling on the

last chance, even if it was despicable and insignificant.

Even though he seemed to already know the answer, and even if it was his last chance, he would still

move forward.

At this moment, was Cayne really just obsessed with unwillingness and desire to win?

Now, neither of them thought about this question. They did not think about it, nor did they have the time

to think about it.

Grace pinched her hand tightly. She almost made herself bleeding.

At this moment, she actually hated Jafar.

Even if Jafar ignored her back then, she was just disappointed, and then told herself that her choice

was different from Jafar.

Even when she firstly managed the company, she noticed that Jafar had secretly transferred a lot of

cashes, causing the capital chain to break. She had never hated Jafar as much as she did now.

If the capital chain of the James Group hadn’t been broken, then she wouldn’t have had to make such

a choice.

It was very difficult to make the choice. On the one hand, there were thousands of employees and

thousands of families. People in the hospital were waiting for money to pay for medical fees...

On the one hand, she was at a loss. It was as if she had returned to the Royal Club three years ago

and she had become a plaything that she was willing to sell everything in front of money.

Did she have to go back to that?

What should she do?

She took a deep breath and looked ahead, “Are you really going to do this?”

Instead of answering directly, he asked, “Grace, what is your choice?”

She was silent and stretched out her hand. Without saying a word, she opened the door in front of her.

The man behind her suddenly became anxious.

He didn’t believe it!

He refused to admit it!

Even so, couldn’t he make her stay with him?

He abruptly held her head. Looking at her beautiful face, he kissed her lips. The instant he touched her,

he was like a child that had obtained the candy he had longed for a long time. He felt a strong sense of

trembling and he suddenly trembled.

He tightened his grip on the woman’s head. One second, two seconds, three seconds. An

indescribable strange feeling surged out of his heart.

After a while, he stopped and let her go. Looking at her, he met her clear pupils. A flash of pain flashed

through his eyes.

“Why aren’t you hiding?”

She looked down gently and said, “Are you satisfied?” Her hoarse words echoed in the confined space.

However, it was like a sharp knife that mercilessly stabbed into the man’s heart.

His face turned pale instantly.

His face turned pale as he stared at her and clenched his teeth tightly. He gritted his teeth and his teeth

almost creaked. His arm finally loosened in frustration. He closed his eyes.

It also hid the pain that people could not feel.

His heart ached. He had never had this kind of feeling before in his life.

His heart ached. His ribs ached, and his internal organs ached. His body was really weird. When one

place hurt, then each part of his body hurt. Even his back seemed to have been suppressed by

something, causing him to feel extremely painful.

As time passed, no one broke the silence. There was only the sound of breathing, which made it even

quieter.

The door was opened, making a faint sound.

Suddenly, her arm was tightly gripped. She was shocked and turned around, “You...”

She stopped when she just said a word, and she could no longer blurt out a reprimand.

He frowned and asked her, “Grace, I’m hungry. I want to eat noodles. Please cook them for me again.”

He raised his chin and commanded proudly. However, for a moment, she could clearly feel the

domineering situation. It was somewhat stagnant, oppressive, and desperate.

She looked down and blinked gently.

“Alright.” After a while, the woman replied softly.

The kitchen of Banyan Manor

It was known that people would rent the private meeting hall, dining hall, and beach, but today, the

place that was booked was a kitchen in Banyan Manor.

The equipment was clean and refreshing.

The woman got the water in front of the stove quietly. She put the noodles into the pot, and put some

sauces into it. Not far away, the man sat at the table that was brought over, looking at the woman in

front of the stove quietly.

The scene was so familiar like three years ago. However, three years ago, she was in the kitchen, and

he was in the living room. The old apartment building they lived was old, but today, this place was

spacious and bright.

A familiar fragrance came from the kitchen. He suddenly sniffed. He had eaten many bowls of noodles

made by her. At that time, he only felt that it seemed that it was not bad and he could have different

noodles occasionally.

Afterwards, he had never eaten such food as noodles again, and he always felt that it was not right.

He stared at Grace cooking noodles in an orderly manner in front of the stove. She was always so

unhurried just like before.

Cayne no longer focused on whether she had long hair or short hair. In his eyes, there was only her

back.

He stared blankly at that figure. It seemed that he was looking at her. And it was as if he could look

through that figure to a very far place.

When the noodles were served, he reacted. He looked down and his gaze fell on the noodles in front of

him... He realized that it wasn’t three years ago. They didn’t live in that old apartment building anymore.

The noodles and chopsticks were placed in front of him, but he suddenly stood up, walked back and

forth. When he turned back, he had another bowl and a pair of chopsticks in his hand.

He was skillful. He divided the steaming noodles into two halves, and half of them were in the empty

bowl he had brought back. There were also onions floating on the noodle soup.

He was skillful and patient. He picked up the onion from one bowl and placed it in another bowl bit by

bit. Then he pushed it in front of her and whispered, “Accompany me.”

Only then did he sit down and slowly raise his chopsticks. He ate the noodles without saying a word.

He glanced at her as he took his chopsticks and ate the noodles one mouthful. The man immediately

withdrew his gaze and focused her noodles. It was as if at this moment, there was nothing else in his

world except the noodles in front of him.

He ate noodles at an extremely slow speed.

When the bowl was empty, he suddenly looked at the woman who had put down the bowls and

chopsticks and was sitting quietly. Suddenly, he shouted loudly,

“Leave now. Don’t come back!”

Hearing this, she looked at him and stood up silently, “Thank you. I’m sorry.” She shouldn’t have started

the cooperation since the beginning.

However, if she was given another choice, she thought that she would still choose to cooperate with

Cayne. She wouldn’t let the James Group go bankruptcy.

She closed her eyes, and pulled up the chair. She took three steps back, bent down and bowed deeply.

He turned around and never stopped.

Just as she was taking a step forward, the man behind her looked at her back and said,

“Hey! Grace!”

The man’s cello-like voice suddenly rose from. He looked at the figure and ignored the sudden

emptiness in his heart. It was as if he had really missed something important.

He shouted at her,

“The woman I will marry is the one who will keep her long hair for me! That’s the woman I want!”

She did not linger, her back to the man behind her. She smiled gently, “Bless you. Goodbye.”

At the dining table, the man picked up the last noodles in the bowl and put it into his mouth. He chewed

hard and closed his eyes.

If you felt empty, then ate something.

Who said that?

“Nonsense.” The man said softly.

He was silent at the dining table for a long time.

Suddenly, he stood up and didn’t look at the bowls and chopsticks on the table. The people who ate the

noodles had already left the table, and the noodles were the flavor before.

He strode away, moving faster and faster. He rushed into Miffel’s room.

“Duke, you can’t. He has a guest...” The secretary-general was knocked sideways by the door before

he could react.

It’s too late.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the Secretary-General felt headache, “Duke, there’s a guest in his

bedroom.”

On the bed, a sturdy man had his waist exposed, pressing down on a charming and sexy beauty. There

was no need to think about what happened in this room.

“Well,” Miffel scratched his hair irritably, and before he could relieve his anger, he said angrily.

“Shit! Are you crazy?”

At the end of the bed, Cayne, who was also tall, walked up to the wine cabinet, opened the cabinet and

took out a bottle of whiskey, “Do you want to have a drink?”

His behavior attracted Miffel. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman for a while. He suddenly

got up and casually put on a nightgown. He opened the drawer and wrote down a check. He handed it

to her. He smiled calmly and gracefully,

“Beautiful girl, I think you will love this check more than me.”

The girl got the check and left happily.

“Send a beauty away in such a gentle manner. Miffel, you’re crazier than me.”

Miffel waved his hand at the Secretary-General, who got the sign and left.

“If a woman could be bought by money, why do I have to be sincere? At least, I have a lot of money to

be like this. Right?” He poured himself a cup, added ice, and took a sip. Instantly, he felt incomparably

comfortable. The anger that had not yet been relieved was temporarily gone.

If things could be done by money, why did you have to be sincere? Cayne chuckled, “You’re really

crazy.”

Miffel raised his eyebrows in surprise, “Didn’t you tell me that?”

Cayne smiled. If the sadness in his eyes could be ignored...

“So, I’m really crazy.”

“Hello? What’s wrong with you? Is it about your queen? Did she hurt you?”

“Miffel, now when I think back to the past, I find it strange. Why did I think that Hunter is an honor?”

“Oh no, Cayne! You’re really crazy!”

...

A taxi was heading towards the airport. “Vivian, I’m back. Come to my office tomorrow and I will give

you the contract.”

Not long after, Vivian sent her a message,

“So urgent? Tomorrow is fine.”

“No need.”

“By the way, Mrs. James came a few times during your absence. Your brother’s health is getting worse

and worse.”

Grace glanced at the text message and tightly pursed her lips.

Her small and exquisite face was inexplicably resolute.

She only replied with a word, “Understood.”

She bought a ticket that took off at night. Before taking off, she called again and asked if Payne’s

matching model had been found.

“Please hurry up and look for a match model. As for the fee, I promise to give you Wei’ai Foundation. I

will do my best.”

“Miss Grace, we are searching. Please don’t be too anxious.”

When she put down the phone, she felt helpless. In this world, she couldn’t find a match for it.

The phone was ringing. It was an unfamiliar number. Originally, she wanted to hang up, but she

accidentally pressed the button. As soon as she connected it, a voice filled with anger immediately

sounded,

“Why didn’t you answer my phone? Grace, you hang up the phone black. You are too merciless.”

“Your brother is in danger. Forget it if you don’t save him, but now you even put my number into the

blacklist.”

“I called you more than a dozen times. If Payne hadn’t reminded me that you might have blacklisted my

phone number, I wouldn’t have thought of calling you with another phone.”

“Grace, how can you do this? Don’t you care about your family at all?”

Grace’s ears buzzed when she heard this.

It took her a long time to remember that she had indeed blacklisted the number of the James family. It

was because she did not want to be called 24 hours a day.

The person on the phone was Payne’s mother as well as the mother who gave birth to her. However,

she just said that Grace was too merciless and refused to save her brother.

“Then why don’t you think about it? My life is also important!”

She couldn’t bear it anymore, so Grace shouted loudly over the phone.

Then she immediately hung up the phone. Then she immediately blacklisted the number.

Not long after, her phone rang again.

“Hello.”

“You still blacklisted the number!”

She hung up again.

After that, she had a nightmare. When she blacklisted a number and then her mother would call her

again by another phone. She blacklisted a dozen phone numbers. But her mother didn’t stop, and

Grace was so angry that she even wanted to laugh.

Another call came. This time, she pressed the button to bet on what that woman wanted to say to her.

She wanted to know what her mother, who shared her blood, whould say to her on earth.

“Grace! Let me tell you! If Payne dies, you are not the member of the James family anymore!”

“I am not the member of the James family long ago.” She sneered. She thought that her mother had This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

some extraordinary means. Expulsion, disowning her and so on. Didn’t she already do it all years ago?

“You...” Mrs. Jane stuttered and shouted angrily,

“Anyway, as a member of the James family, you are Payne’s younger sister. You should donate your

bone marrow for your brother!”

“I am a patient with only one kidney. Do you want me to donate bone marrow?”

“I’ve already asked the doctor. You can live with a kidney. There are so many people with one kidney in

the world. Besides, donating bone marrow isn’t a problem. It can save your brother’s life though the

odds are slim!”

“There are so many people with one kidney in the world?” She muttered to herself, “Though the odds

are slim?”

“Mrs. James, which famous doctor told you these?” She sneered.

“You don’t have to worry about this!”

What an arrogant attitude. “What if I don’t?” Grace’s gaze gradually cooled.

The other party was completely angered.

“You can’t be so merciless!

What do you want?

The James Group is yours.

It should belong to your brother!

Your brother has already given you the James Group. All you need to do is just to donate bone marrow

to him. Is that too much to do?

You can’t be so heartless!

Now, the James Group is yours, and the money is yours as well. If there’s anything else you want, I’ll

give it to you. I beg you to save your brother, okay?”

In the airport lounge, a woman was sitting alone in a chair in the corner. It seemed that she was trying

to endure something, and her entire body trembled uncontrollably.

Grace clenched her fists tighter, squeezing out a sentence word by word from her mouth, “If you like

the James Group so much, then just take it!”

She had already put in too much effort for that mess, and she also did a lot that she was unwilling to

do.

They all thought it was precious. Huh!

“Don’t you want it?”

“Back then, you spent a lot. I didn’t believe that you are willing to give it up. You’re a liar or a fool.”

She closed her eyes and listened to the voice on the phone.

“Isn’t that so?”

“You. What do you mean?”

She looked down. Wasn’t she that fool?

However, Grace did not explain anything to the person on the phone. On the other end of the phone,

she began to threaten and entice Grace to donate bone marrow for Payne.

Hearing the words on the phone, Grace was angry.

“You can tell Payne that he could die without worry,” Grace said coldly.

“Bastard! Why did I give birth to a bitch like you--”

Do Do Do--

Everything stopped in a series of busy noises. The woman’s small face looked stubborn. She pursed

her lips tightly and stared at the air in front of her without saying a word.

Her eyes were uncomfortable. For a moment, her eyes became moist. She blinked and leaned back in

her chair quietly.
