Chapter 347 I’m Warning You, Stop Daydreaming

“Silly child, stop making excuses.” Harper’s expression was full of affection. “I know.”

“It’s not-”

No one understands!

Caroline let out a long sigh. Forget it. Explaining was pointless.

As she lowered her head, she noticed a tissue appear in front of her.

David had handed it to her. “Wipe your tears.”

Seeing the amused look in his eyes, Caroline immediately emphasized, “I wasn’t crying!”

“Mhm, I know.” He nodded. “You weren’t crying. You were just shedding tears.”

Caroline gritted her teeth.

Finished

At this point, even if she bent over backward to prove her innocence, she couldn’t shake the blame, No amount of explaining would change a thing.

Why would I cry? Crying over David? Not worth it.

Caroline knew that David wanted to see her upset. That was his goal all night.

And she had almost made it through the entire evening without giving him what he wanted–until a few yawns ruined everything.

Ugh!

Frustrated, she snatched the tissue and wiped away the tears.

David watched her every move, the corners of his lips curving even higher.

See? She still cares. She was just stubborn, too proud to admit it, forcing herself to keep up that fake smile.

David’s mood instantly lifted.

Harper, standing nearby, spoke up. “Last time I visited the Ellison residence, you two seemed to be doing well. You even promised me you’d live a good life together. David, you told me you loved Caroline. Do you remember that?”

“I do.”

“And this is how you treat her?” Harper asked sharply. “What did you do to make her cry? Do you even realize what you’ve done?”

“I do.”

At this moment, David was surprisingly obedient, standing there quietly as Harper scolded him without a single word of protest.

Because he was being affectionate with Elizabeth.

She cared. She felt hurt. Her heart still had a place for me. Where there’s love, there’s also hate. And pain.

Caroline, on the other hand, remained silent. With Harper here, she didn’t need to say a word.

“I don’t think you do know!” Harper’s voice sharpened. David, you are a married man. You should be keeping your distance from other women. Do I really need to remind you of something so basic? Even if that woman is Caroline’s sister, you should especially keep your distance! Avoid any misunderstandings, avoid giving people something to gossip about!”

As she spoke, Harper pointed at Elizabeth, who was standing not far away. “And you, get over here! Why are you standing so far away?”

Elizabeth had been looking for a chance to sneak away.

This old woman was trouble–she was completely on Caroline’s side and had never liked her.

But now…

She’d been called out.

She had no choice but to force a smile. “Madam Harper… You were looking for me? What a coincidence, running into you here. It’s so late–shouldn’t you be heading home to rest?”

She slowly shuffled forward.

Harper’s expression darkened. “You again!”

“Heh… heh…” Elizabeth let out an awkward laugh.

“Why are you walking so close to David?” Harper’s voice turned even sharper. “You two were strolling ahead together while leaving Caroline behind? What kind of nonsense is that?”

She then snapped, “Do you even know your place?”

Elizabeth could only nod repeatedly. “I do, I do.”

“I’m warning you, Elizabeth,” Harper said coldly. “David is your brother–in–law. You better put away any thoughts you shouldn’t have. Stop daydreaming–stop imagining the impossible.”

“Yes, yes, yes…”

”

Elizabeth nodded again, but inside, she was gritting her teeth so hard they nearly cracked.
