Steal my heart by Savannah Kade

Chapter 113 He Took Actions On the weekend, again, Franklin picked Grace up from her neighborhood and took her for lunch. Today Grace had a day off. The beef noodle restaurant in the night fair becthe place which Grace and Franklin visited most.

Noah had got accustomed to Franklin's taking her girlfriend to have beef noodles here.

After lunch, Franklin took Grace to the cinema.

Grace felt like she was in a dream. But the popcorn and drink in her hands were both reminding her that she was once again fooled by Franklin.

However, still, a smile appeared on her lips and she didn't even notice it.

Franklin was indeed a joy bringer. If he wanted to treat a woman well, the woman would feel like in paradise. Thinking about this, the smile on her face slowly faded away.

She looked at the boy sitting beside with a complicated eye look and decided that after watching the movie today, she would tell Franklin straightforward...that she would not fall in love with him. She would tell him that this was the end.

She admitted that she loved the way Franklin looked at her. Free of disdain, sarcasm, ridicule and contempt, his eye look made her feel like she was just an ordinary girl.

She also admitted that she couldn't bear to part with the single light coming out from the silt. In darkness, it seemed more precious than anything.

But things were going forward in an uncontrollable way...She couldn't respond to the love of this big boy pretending to be a man. Then she should just tell him frankly now.

She was too deep in gut to deserve such a love.

How could she drag him to gut with herself? Therefore, letting him go was the right thing to do.

Suddenly, her hand back was covered by a fit of warmth. As if burned, Grace looked down and saw Franklin's big hand holding her hand tightly. He said, "Don't." The deep voice made her unable to shirk. With her heart beating fast, Grace didn't move and just let his hand keep covering hers and turned to watch the move like nothing happened.

She was more certain that she would find a right timing to explain to Franklin...that she was not a good woman, and that she didn't deserve happiness. She couldn't respond to his feelings for her.

At the beginning, she thought Franklin was just a big boy with strong curiosity. But then...everything that he did and the way he looked at her were too real to be a lie.

On her left in darkness, a big smile burst out on Franklin's handsface when she turned to watch the movie. In the smile, there was a universe of content and happiness. But Grace didn't see it. Grace wasn't paying attention to the movie at all. So after the movie, she had no idea what it talked about. She spent all the tthinking about how to lay it all out with the big boy beside her. After the ending, lights went on. Franklin kept holding Grace's hand and refused to let it go. Following the flow of people, he took her outside of the cinema.

Grace becnervous and raised her head to look at the back of Franklin. Her palm was all wet and got sticky. She couldn't help but look at their holding hands and think, "Doesn't he find two sticky hands holding together kind of uncomfortable?" Apparently, different from Grace who was laden with anxiety, Franklin was very happy. He took Grace to the parking lot and opened the door of front passenger seat for her, after which he got in the car too.

"Wait." "What?" Franklin turned to her with confusion all over his face, "You want to buy anything?" When she asked him to wait, what first occurred to him was that maybe she forgot to buy something... The better he treated her, the worse she felt.

It was like something choked on her throat.

Franklin continued, "What's in your mind? It's weekend. We got plenty of time." "...No," With firmness in her eyes, she bit the bullet and said, "Mr. Cordon, we can't..." Right this moment, his phone rang.

Franklin took out his phone and looked at the screen. Then his brows wrinkled and he raised his head telling Grace, "Grace, I need to answer this." Then he pressed the answer key.

An old and majestic voice cup, "Chnow." Franklin was discontent, "Grandfather, I am busy..." "Stop talking. Cback hright now." With that, the phone was hung up.

Franklin looked at the phone again and his brows tightened up.

"Mr. Cordon, do you have an emergency? I can go back myself." Grace sighed... Maybe she couldn't tell him everything today.

"I will take you back to the dorm." Franklin grabbed Grace's arm to stop her from getting off, "It won't take much time. It is on my way." "Okay then, Mr. Cordon. Thank you for the lunch and the movie." Franklin peeked at Grace with discontent, "Do you really have to be so polite? I have told you many times that you should stop callingMr. Cordon. It sounds weird." Then he stepped on the gas and drove to Grace's dorm." "We have arrived. Take care while getting off." After sthought, he said to Grace who was standing outside of the car, "Grace, I hope one day you can stop callingMr. Cordon." Grace paused and smiled to Franklin, "Calling you 'Mr. Cordon' represents my respect for you. Mr. Cordon, hurry along, you have an emergency." With that, she turned around and left him no chance to talk. She let out a sigh...She couldn't tell him today. Then she should seek another chance.

Franklin seemed at a loss for a moment, then he cheered up and looked at the place where Grade disappeared. Firmness rose up in his eyes again...Soon, soon he would open the door to her heart, no matter how hard it would be! It couldn't be that hard! As a saint once said, where there is a will, there is a way.

Then he stepped on the gas and drove back hat a fast speed.

The Cordon family's house.

Franklin's grandfather Duncan Franklin, whose hair had all gone grey, was born with a serous face. Now he looked even graver and gazed at Franklin in anger.

"Grandfather." No matter how unbridled Franklin was on the outside, he behaved like a lamb before Duncan.

Duncan was extremely stereotypical and tough, which becthe reason why Franklin didn't like going back home.

Duncan reached his hand backward, and the old butler instantly put a document bag on his hand.

Bang! Duncan threw the bag before Franklin and said loudly, "Have a look yourself. See how much Cordon Group has lost recently."

Franklin bent over and picked up the document bag without saying anything. He opened it and quickly browsed. The more he read, the graver he looked. Then he threw the bag on the tea table again, "Grandfather, what happened?" In less than half a month, Cordon Group's money had evaporated at an unbelievable speed. Though he liked seeking joy and was always reluctant to manage the company, it didn't mean that he wasn't capable of it.

"How dare you to askwhat rat happened?" Duncan snorted and pointed his finger at Franklin,0 m shouting "You better think carefully about whom you messed with recently! And who has the ability to push us so far that we have to take it seriously?" All of a sudden, it dawned on Franklin! "Caden Shaw!" Franklin squeezed out these two words in fury.000000 X
