Steal my heart by Savannah Kade

Chapter98 Family

Things were the same day after day. It's time to get off work today, Gloria gave those cheques to Grace all together.

"Thank you, Gloria..." Grace thanked and didn't reject her money. She would accept it then hide it well until Caden finished his endless game. She would run away as far as she could this time.

She walked out of Gloria's office and put that bag with piles of cash and cheques from Gloria, into her cotton bag. She caressed it by her hands, "Leona, this is the key of Erhai lake. Wait for me there, I will fulfil our dreams very soon, I promise." Thought Grace.

Suddenly, she noticed Leona's ash was still kept in that funeral home. "Leona, waiting for me, I will bring you to see the Erhai Lake, as well as the blue sky and white clouds!"

She decided to grab a taxi home this time, to treat herself.

The taxi dropped her at the dormitory building. Grace went off and stuffed her bag carefully in her arms. She paid and headed upstairs in a hurry.

Her building was quiet as usual. She got used to it already. She walked upstairs while searched for her key in the bag.

All of a sudden, she looked up and saw two people standing outside her door beneath the dim light. She was so surprised to see them that dropped her key on the floor.

Watching them afar in shock, Grace froze there, the time seemed to stop by this moment. She opened her mouth and tried to say that familiar words, "Mr and Mrs. James..." She whispered then lowered her head.
