David turned his head slightly and glanced at her. âAm wrong?â
âYouâre right. Youâre always right. How could I possibly say
Caroline suddenly stopped arguing,
David found it to be pretty boring.

else here just you and me. If you want to visit Elizabeth and drag me along as a third wheel to watch you two act all oveyâdovey and make me uncomfortable, you couldâve just said so. No need to beat around the bush or get all passiveâaggressive.â
Just hearing it made her sick.
The relationship was so fake, so hypocritical.
âI meant to be passiveâaggressive.â David replied. âGlad you picked up on it.â
Caroline went quiet.
Disgusting!
When they arrived at the hospital room, the moment the door swung open, Elizabethâs delicate voice rang
out.
âMr. Ellison, youâre finally here. I was so scaredâ¦â
Too much. Caroline couldnât help but rub her arms to shake off the goosebumps.
Elizabeth, looking sweet and fragile, immediately started clinging to David, insisting he stay with her for the night.
Butâ¦
The moment Elizabeth spotted Caroline behind him, she froze.
âWhy are you here?â The words slipped out before she could stop them.
âYep, Iâm here.â Caroline shrugged. âSorry to disappoint but I didnât want to come. I was forced.â
With that, she plopped down on the sofa, spread out her hands, and said, âYou two go ahead and talk. Just pretend I donât exist.â
Davidâs goal was obviousâhe wanted to rub it in, make her watch him dote on Elizabeth.
Fine. Iâd watch.
Sheâd sit right here, watch from up close, study every detailâheck, she almost wanted to grab some snacks and drink while watching.
Elizabeth had no idea wh
was going on. Everything has been fine, so why had Mr. Ellison brought her here?

Elizabeth replied, âI donât know either. The doctor ran some tests, and the baby is fine. He said it might be because Iâve been stressed, depressed, staying up late, and not getting enough sleep. I need to stay in the hospital and rest until everything stabilizes.â
âThen rest properly.â
Davidâs response was indifferent g
up late.
no concern about why she was stressed or why she was staying
It was just a standard, scripted kind of concernânothing real about it.
Elizabeth added, âMr. Ellison, I might have to stay in the hospital for the entire first trimester. These first three months are crucial. I canât afford any mistakes.â
âThen stay.â Davidâs tone was flat. âYou can stay until you give birth if needed.â
âBut itâs so boringâ¦â
âIâll make more time to be with you.â
Elizabeth leaned into his arms. âYouâll be running back and forth between the company and the hospital every day. Wonât that be exhausting?â
âIt wonât.â David replied. âJust focus on taking care of the baby.â
He resisted the urge to push Elizabeth away.
Because Caroline was watching.
Normally, he would never let Elizabeth cling to him like this.
He didnât like it. He wasnât used to it.
But now⦠he had to keep up the act.
David casually glanced to the side, eyes landing on Caroline, wanting to see her reaction.
What he wanted to see was a look of sadness, a hint of pain in her eyesâshe should be heartbroken watching her husband holding another woman.
Insteadâ¦
Caroline was smiling.
She looked like she was holding back laughter!
She could still laugh? What the heck is so funny? Elizabeth followed Davidâs gaze and saw Carolineâs amused expression.
