Chapter 37 Let’s Sleep in Separate Rooms!
The thought left Caroline frozen.
If hat am I doing? Why would she connect two completely unrelated people?
She shook her head quickly.
David must never find out what happened to me that night.
And she didn’t want to know where David had gone that night, either.
They should just live their separate lives.
When she returned to the master bedroom, David was leisurely removing his jacket and shirt before starting to unbuckle his belt, acting as if she wasn’t even there.
“Hey, you..
Caroline walked in just in time to catch this scene and quickly turned her back.
Does he have some kind of erhibitionist fetish?
David tilted his head slightly, his toned upper body on full display. “Why the pretense? Isn’t this exactly what you wanted?”
“I did not!”
“From the moment you approached my mother to the day you married me, it’s all been part of your plan. Your goal has always been to stay by my side.”
Listening to his confident tone, Caroline could only roll her eyes.
Who does he think he is? Why would I go to such lengths to get close to him?
Marrying him had brought her nothing but misery. Who in their right mind would willingly jump into a fire pit?
“Sure, sure, you’ve got it all figured out,” Caroline said sarcastically. “Mr. Ellison, you’re truly brilliant- wise, charming, dashing, and irresistible. From the moment I first saw you. I was utterly captivated. completely in awe of your magnificence.”
David responded without missing a beat, “So you finally admit it.”
Caroline was dumbfounded.
He’s so full of himself! Does he not realize I’m being sarcastic
David rested his long fingers on his belt and shot her alance. You’d bener keep your little schemes to yourself when it comes to my mom.”
Harper liked Caroline, and if she found out Caroline hul ulterior motives, sheaf be heartbroken, and wouldn’t allow thar to happen.

kind to her. Have you ever seen someone risk their life to save another just to earn their favor?”
“Maybe her falling into the water was part of your plan
Caroline was speechless.
What kind of villain does he take me for?

She lifted her chin. “Don’t worry, David. Im not the king an you think I am. But you might want to keep an eye on Elizabeth. I don’t know how the two of you got involved, but I’d advise you to be cautious. Don’t let her two–faced nature fool you. The one trying to climb into your bed, to get close to you
for your money and power, has always been Elizabeth–not me. In fact, I think we should sleep in separate rooms. That way, you won’t have to worry about me harboring any inappropriate thoughts toward you. A man of your status should be extra careful at night; wouldn’t want a woman taking advantage of you.”
With that, she spun around and left, seizing the chance to avoid sleeping in the same bed as him.
Caroline had long wanted separate rooms. Sharing a bed with David gave her nightmares. She was too scared to move or even turn over, and the constant tension was driving her to the brink of collapse.
“Stop.”
She halted. “Mr. Ellison, is there something else?”
“Tomorrow morning, come with me to Ellison Group.
At least he’s not forcing me to stay in the master bedroom tonight. Small mercies.
Wait… Hold on.
Caroline frowned. “Go to the company? For what?”
“Just come, David said, walking toward the bathroom. Now get out.”
Unbelievable. The man’s mood swings are worse than the weather.
But Caroline had no choice. The next morning, David dragged her out of bed and unceremoniously tossed her into the backseat of his Rolls–Royce.
