Chapter 341 Enjoying Life Without Me at the Ellison Residence?
âMadam.â Paul suddenly appeared.
Caroline jumped, clutching her chest. âPaul! You scared me to death.â
Finished
She was already feeling guilty about sneaking around, and she definitely didnât need any more scares.
âMadam, what are you looking for?â
âOh, nothing. Nothing at all,â Caroline denied quickly. Then, after a moment, she asked, âIs David back yet?â
She hadnât seen him in the living room. What if he is in the study or the master bedroom?
âNo, Mr. Ellison isnât home.â
Caroline let out a relieved breath, her steps instantly lighter.
As she changed her shoes and placed her bag on the cabinet, she muttered, âGreat, another wonderful night all to my-â
Before she could finish her sentence, Paul suddenly asked, âMadam, what did you just ask me?â
âHuh?â
âYou asked me if Mr. Ellison was home, didnât you?â
âYes,â Caroline nodded. âAnd you already answered. You said he wasnât here.â
Paul glanced behind her, swallowing nervously. âMadam, I take back what I said. Mr. Ellison⦠is home.â
Caroline frowned. He wasnât home just a second ago, now he is? What, did David just teleport in? Or drop in from the sky?
She was about to question Paul when a deep, male voice suddenly sounded behind her. âWere you looking for me?â
Caroline froze on the spot.
Thatâs why Paul had been looking behind her⦠because David was standing right there.
âI⦠wasnât looking for you,â Caroline said. âItâs just that. David, can you not suddenly appear behind me without making a sound? Do you even make noise when you walk?â
David let out a cold chuckle. âAnother wonderful night all to yourself, huh?â
Caroline bit her lip in frustration.
Well, not anymore. His sudden appearance had ruined that plan.
Davidâs voice grew even colder. âCaroline, seems like youâre really enjoying life without me at the Ellison

Chapter Life
Without Me at the Ellison Residence?
Finished
âDrop the act,â he exposed her instantly. âThe more you donât want me around, the more Iâll show up.â
He brushed past her and walked into the living room, casually shrugging off his suit jacket.
Paul quickly took it and hung it up.
By the looks of it⦠he planned to spend the night at the Ellison residence.
Standing at the entrance to the
hom. Caroline let out a sigh.
What now? Iâve already gotten used to living alone, and now Davidâs back. I have to readjust all over again. Elizabeth, what are you doing? Use your tricks! Keep David by your side! Why let him come back here?
Just as she was thinking that, a phone rang.
David answered, âHello?â
Caroline wasnât paying much attention.
But after a moment, she noticed the slight shift in his expressionâhis face darkened just a little. âGot it. Iâll be right there.â
Caroline couldnât help but feel a flicker of joy. Is he leaving? Fantastic!
Tonight had been full of ups and downs, but in the end, he was going to leave. That was a relief!
âYou just got home, and now youâre heading out again? Caroline put on an expression of concern,
pretending to be reluctant. âYouâre always so busy. You havenât even had a chance to sit down, havenât even had a sip of water⦠You work too hard.â
Saying that, she reached for his freshly hung suit jacket. âAre you driving yourself, or should I have the driver get the car ready? Itâs lateâbe careful out there.â
