Chapter 292 You and Elizabeth Are the Perfect Match
This is ridiculous… Impossible. It’s absolutely absurd!
Finished
Locking eyes with David for a few seconds, Caroline finally spoke. “David, you already know my answer.”
“I don’t.”
Even if he had already guessed, he refused to face it.
David… was gambling.
Gambling that somewhere inside her, she still wanted to be with him forever. Gambling that as long as she still had feelings for him, she wouldn’t tolerate Elizabeth’s child.
He didn’t want to guess. He wanted her to say it herself.
Caroline’s lips curled into a smile, her eyes arching like crescent moons. It was a smile, yet it carried an unbearable sorrow. “David, of course, I hope… that you and Elizabeth’s child can come into this world safe and sound.”
David’s entire body stiffened.
She continued, “From the very beginning, Elizabeth has always been your favorite. She could kidnap me, bully me, hit me, curse at me as she pleased. And the moment I fought back, you sent people to suppress me, to make sure I stayed quiet and endured her torment. No matter how many mistakes she made, you always turned a blind eye. I’ve always hoped that you and Elizabeth would end up together, to make it official. That thought has been deeply rooted in my mind from the very start. And look, now it’s finally happening. You even have a child together. David, she’s giving birth to your child—shouldn’t you at least give her a proper title? As for me, I’ll do everything in my power to step aside. It’s fine. I give you my blessings.” Caro
smile grew brighter and more dazzling. “You and Elizabeth are a match made in heaven. May you have a long and happy life together.”
As she spoke, she slowly leaned in closer to him. “David, you have your beauty in your arms and your child on the way. Isn’t it time to let me go? This so–called ‘decoy bride‘ of yours–it’s time for me to leave the Ellison family.”
Caroline had no attachment to the power and wealth of the Ellison family.
The only thing she couldn’t bear to part with was Harper. But Harper was living well now–dressed in luxury, surrounded by comfort. He didn’t need her to accompany or take care of him anymore.
David lowered his gaze, looking at Caroline, who was now incredibly close. The distance between them was so small that he could clearly see the delicate curl of her lashes.
His voice was calm as he spoke. “Every word you just said—was it sincere? Not a single lie?”
“Completely sincere. Not a single lie.”
“Then why does it sound so… sarcastic to me?” David pulled at the corner of his lips, a faint smile forming. “Caroline, I’m giving you a chance. Say it again, properly.”
It sounded like he was giving her a chance, but in reality, it was just that he couldn’t accept her words.
He wanted her to take them back.

Chapter 292 You and Elizabeth Are the Perfect Match
Finished
David, a man so proud, had already compromised for Caroline again and again, lowering his boundaries more and more.
“I’ve made myself very clear. There’s no need to repeat it.” Caroline’s voice carried a newfound determination. “David, you and Elizabeth can have your happily ever after. Now, let me and my child go
free!”
At that moment, she suddenly felt relieved. Relieved that Elizabeth was pregnant.
If she weren’t, she might have actually started to fall for David. She might have been moved by those tiny fragments of affection he showed, and she might have chosen to stay by his side.
Then, in the name of love, she would have willingly imprisoned herself within his reach.
Women are foolish like that when it comes to love.
But now, before her dream even had a chance to begin, it was already shattered–shattered so completely that there was nothing left.
Freedom was what she should be chasing. Love couldn’t be allowed to trap her.
A sharp pain shot through her chin as David gripped it tightly, his fingers digging in. His next words came out through clenched teeth-
