aroline’s side,
David walked straight to wrapped an arm around her waist, and pulled her into his embrace.
To an outsider, it looked like an affectionate hug, full of love and intimacy.
But Caroline knew the truth–he just wanted to control her.
She understood everything. This was yet another lost chance to tell Harper the truth.
David spoke again. “Mom, Elizabeth isn’t feeling well and is hospitalized. Naturally, Caroline and I came to visit her. We both work during the day and don’t have time, so we chose to come at night. As for earlier, by side… that was just a misunderstanding. I was about to

turn back and find Caroline, but before I could, you appeared. You saw that moment and didn’t even give me a chance to explain.”
“Right, Caroline?”
David turned his head slightly and whispered the question in her ear, his tone soft.
His breath tickled her skin, making her ear tingle.
Harper looked skeptical. “Is that true?”
“Of course.”
“Then why was Caroline crying?”
David’s expression didn’t waver. “She already told you it was from yawning. She worked all day and didn’t rest properly tonight. She’s just tired.”
Caroline went quiet. Wow, he’s full of it! And the worst part? His explanation was flawless, perfectly convincing! Just like that, he had smoothed everything over.
David obviously didn’t believe she had cried from yawning. He was certain she had been crying–but in this moment, he still spun a whole story without hesitation.

Group as a formulation specialist Caroline has been working hard. Mom, you know she works at Ellison
in the R&D department. A new product just launched, and it’s selling exceptionally well. She’s also developing new formulas, so her workload is pretty heavy. But Caroline is very capable and talented. This
product launch exceeded all expectations. She’s going to earn a big
commission.”
He chuckled lightly
On the surface, he was praising her in front of Harper.
But Caroline knew-this was a threat.
If she dared to defy him or pull any reckless stunts, that commission would be as good as gone.
Money. Always money.
David knew how to use it against her.
She thought about the twins growing inside her. About formula, diapers, clothes, toys…
Caroline, endure it.
“Right,” she said with a bright smile, even leaning against David’s shoulder. “Mom, just like my husband said.”
To disgust David, she deliberately softened her voice, adding extra sweetness to the words “my husband“.
But that wasn’t enough.
She tilted her head up and continued, “My husband is so wonderful. He knew my sister was in the hospital and made time to come visit with me. Honey, having you is my greatest blessing.”
However, she miscalculated.
Not only did David not look disgusted….
He actually looked pleased.
He responded smoothly, “That’s what a husband should do.”
Caroline’s smile nearly cracked.
