Caroline wanted to use this opportunity to tell Harper everythingâthe whole truth. Then, she would ask Harperâ¦
To agree to her divorce from David!
Once they divorced and she moved out of the Ellison residence, sheâd finally be free.
No one would control her anymore. No one would restrict her. She could live for herself, make her own choices, and no longer be treated like a bargaining chip, bought and sold with no say in her own fate.
David wanted a divorce too, didnât he? The only reason he hadnât brought it up was that he didnât want to disappoint Harperâhe didnât want to hurt her.
Well then, Caroline thought. Iâll say it for him today!
She was done with this life. She couldnât endure it for another day!
Harper looked at her with warmth in her eyes. âAlright, Caroline, whatever you want to say, Iâm listening.â
No matter how she looked at her, she was satisfied with this daughterâinâlaw.
Caroline took deep breaths, trying to steady herself. Finally, she gathered the courage to speak. âMom, the truth is, my relationship with David isnât what you think it is. And⦠weâve also been keeping secrets about the whole pregnancy plan. After I tell you everything, I hope youâll agree to let me and David-â
Just as the word âdivorceâ was about to leave her lips, David suddenly spoke, his deep voice drowning out
hers.
âCaroline, how could you be the one to say this?â
Caroline froze, turning to look at him. If I didnât say it, is he going to? Would David really be that generous?
Uneasy, Caroline clenched her palms. âItâs fine. I can say it.â
Harper glanced between them, clearly confused. âYou two are making no sense. What exactly are you trying to say? Your relationship isnât what I think? Then what is it? And whatâs this secret about the pregnancy plan?â
Caroline opened her mouth, but before she could get a word out, David wrapped an arm around her waist. With a small exertion of strength, he lifted her and settled her onto his lap.
âHey, you-!â
Does he have no shame? Does he not care how embarrassing this is? Madam Harper was sitting right there, and yet he was pulling moves like this?
âBe good.â David lowered his head, his warm breath brushing against her ear. âJust stay in my arms. Leave
the rest to me.â
Caroline understood immediately.

âMom,â David lifted his gaze, his tone calm. âYouâve always thought that Caroline and I didnât get along, since our marriage wasnât based on love. At first, I wasnât happy either. But now, Iâve completely changed my mind. I think Caroline is wonderfulâgentle, obedient, kind, and considerate. Iâm falling for her more and more. I love her deeply. I canât live without her anymore.â
Carolineâs entire body broke out in goosebumps. What in the world is he talking about?
But she had no way to stop him.
âAs for what Caroline said about the pregnancy planâ¦â David paused before continuing smoothly, âwe both felt it was still too soon. The Ellison Group has only recently come under my control, and thereâs still a lot to handle. Caroline also wants to focus on her career a little longerâsheâs not ready to have a child just yet. Iâm sorry, Mom, for keeping this from you.â
In just a few sentences, he had twisted Carolineâs words, completely altering the meaning of what she wanted to say!
Caroline shot him a furious glare. âDavid, you-!â
