I've Been There Before

Chapter 186 Wake up from the Dream

Things that even Gloria could see through, why would Caden have no feeling at all?

It was nothing more than a self-deceiving dream. When the dream was broken, he would eventually wake up.

"If you miss it, you miss it forever, Caden," It was rare for Humbert to talk about Grace with Caden so seriously, "It’s time to let go."

Caden breathed heavily. It wasn’t hard to see that he was upset and struggling.

"Humbert, do you know that," Humbert looked at the man in front who raised the coffee cup with his trembling hand and took a sip. It wasn’t sure whether or not he tasted the taste of the coffee, but the way he looked made Humbert feel uncomfortable. Humbert was about to say something to comfort the man when the latter put down the cup and said,

"Every time we have sex, she would take the pills. She said it was the vitamin pills," Caden laughed pathetically, "What she didn’t know was that the bottle was really filled with vitamin pills later.

"I swapped the contraceptive in the bottle and asked someone to remodel some ‘vitamin pills’ with the same shape and taste as fast as possible.

"I know that the bottle was not the contraceptive that she had been longing for. However, every time after we have sex, seeing her take out the pills from the bottle and eat them, I felt unspeakably uncomfortable."

"Here, I feel uncomfortable."

Caden raised his fist and knocked on his left chest. A man did not weep easily, but Humbert was stunned the moment Caden raised his head, "You…" A Caden like this, so emotional and sensitive, could he really let go?! Without others saying, Humbert was the first one to doubt that.

"Now you ask me to let go… Here," Caden smashed his chest again, "is still uncomfortable."

Humbert’s lips moved slightly. He suddenly felt that the comforting words he had to inspire one’s life was too powerless.

Something that could make a man like Caden be so upset and demented, with eyes covered by bloodshot and mouth filled with bitterness… Humbert stretched out and patted the man’s shoulder, "A step wrong, all the rest will be wrong. That year, when you put her into the prison, have you ever thought of what would happen today?" Though these words shouldn’t be said, yet he still said it, "Caden, she loved you first, but you’re the first one to be wrong. She hated you first, now that she retreated, you should let go. Let her go. You owe her."

Caden pushed away Humbert’s hand, "You go out first. I want to be alone for a second." All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Humbert opened his mouth and he sighed silently at the end. He stood up and found the staff of the restaurant, then found the manager. He took out his purse without counting carefully and put all the money on the front desk, "Is this enough to clear up here?"

The money was foreign currency that was already converted. It was a large amount of money, enough for the turnover of today. The manager took the money happily and cleared up the place. There weren’t many customers today, so it would neither be a loss nor impoliteness.

"Clear it up, including the staffs."

After all these, everyone backed out. Only one man on that table was left in the place.

With the softening music, casual atmosphere, the empty restaurant, and the struggling and regretful man.

Nobody knew what the man was thinking. What Humbert could see was the Caden supported his forehead with his hand without moving at all.

Standing outside the restaurant, Humbert leaned on the glass window and kept smoking. It was the fifth he raised he arm to check the time.

"Two hours." Caden locked himself in an unknown restaurant for two hours without moving.

Humbert looked at the only person alive in the place, who remained the same posture as before, "Caden Shaw, if you kept being like that, I would believe that you have fallen asleep."

As he murmured at the glass window to himself, suddenly, his eyes sparkled and he turned around, scurrying to the door of the restaurant. The door was also pushed open from the inside.

"Boss, you are finally out."

Humbert tried to relax the mood and put his arm on Caden’s shoulder, "Hey. where are we going?"

"The subsidiary company."

"… What?"

Caden looked energetic all of a sudden, just like an invasive leopard, looking to the front coldly, "Take care of those annoying moles, then we can go back as soon as possible."

"… Then," Humbert knew Caden well. Seeing how the latter looked, Humbert’s heart shrank, "Then, what about her?"

What about her?

Who was that "her", without reminding, both of them knew it.

As for those moles, they needed to be taken out hurriedly.

What about her?

What could be done about her?

Humbert was afraid that Caden became too obsessive, which would only drag both of them into an infinite loop of pain without an end.

Mentioning "her", the man’s cold eyes hesitated for a second, but it was just a second… After they took care of all the troubles, eradicated the moles and got the contract; after they got into the plane and returned to S City, Caden still didn’t give Humbert an answer about this question.
