Caroline froze for a moment. How am I supposed to believe him?
She couldn’t.

David continued, “Do you want to find the father of your child? Learn his identity, then willingly get rid of it and have my children instead.”
Caroline turned to look at him.
From her angle, his side profile was sharply defined, his lips pressed into a thin line, his expression serious, without a hint of jest.
“David, you…” Caroline swallowed involuntarily. “Do you even realize what you’re saying?”
“Of course I do.”
“This isn’t like you.” She kept her gaze fixed on his face. “Is this your new game?”
She had never forgotten those words of his. They had become her nightmare, a curse that haunted her.
Anytime David acted
And he had changed.
Ven slightly differently, that phrase resurfaced in her mind.
But she didn’t know whether that change was a blessing or a curse.
“Unless…” A sudden thought struck her, and she spoke without hesitation. “You actually want a child with me. Once I have your child, I’ll be tied down, unable to sever ties with you and the Ellison family. After all, no mother would abandon her child, even if Ms. Harper is there to ensure the child has a good life. But you’d strip me of any rights to raise or educate the child. You’d make me give birth, but you wouldn’t let me be a mother.”
She continued, “Maybe you
need an heir, and since I’m already Mrs. Ellison, I’m the most convenient option. The Ellison family wouldn’t object. But a mother who can’t even see her child, whose own child doesn’t recognize her, that’s a pain worse than death. David, isn’t that an even crueler way to torment me?”
The more Caroline spoke, the more alarmed she became.
Meanwhile, David’s expression grew darker and darker.
“Your imagination is far too vivid,” he said coldly. “You should’ve been a novelist, what a waste.”
“Am I wrong? Then tell me why would you want me to bear your child?”
“Because you’re my wife. Is that reason enough?”
Caroline shook her head. “Not even close.”
Her hands instinctively rested over her abdomen.
These twins had endured so many dangers alongside her, yet they were still safe inside her.
She couldn’t give them up.

Chapter 237 You Are Ungrateful
Her children were part of her. They were inseparable.
No matter what tempting conditions David offered, she wouldn’t waver.

“David, even if you told me you loved me, that you couldn’t live without me, that you’d do anything for me, I still wouldn’t get rid of my children.” Caroline’s gaze was firm. “Besides, as if you could ever love me.”
David growled, his voice low and furious. “I have never seen a woman as ungrateful as you!”
“That’s right, I’m ungrateful.” Caroline smirked. “Please, go appreciate someone else. I’m sure plenty of women would be thrilled.”
David clenched his jaw and yanked her wrist, pulling her toward him.
Caroline stumbled into his chest, her nose bumping against him. It hurt a little.
“You don’t even know who the father is, and yet you’re willing to gamble your happiness for this child?” He glared at her. “You’re asking for suffering, Caroline!”
“Yes, I brought this on myself.” Caroline met his gaze. “So leave me alone. Let me suffer on my own.”
“In your dreams!”
David slowly lowered his head, forcing her to meet his eyes.
Their noses were nearly touching.
