Caroline wanted to use this opportunity to tell Harper everything-the whole truth. Then, she would ask Harper...

To agree to her divorce from David!

Once they divorced and she moved out of the Ellison residence, she'd finally be free.

No one would control her anymore. No one would restrict her. She could live for herself, make her own choices, and no longer be treated like a bargaining chip, bought and sold with no say in her own fate. David wanted a divorce too, didn't he? The only reason he hadn't brought it up was that he didn't want to disappoint Harper-he didn't want to hurt her.

Well then, Caroline thought. I'll say it for him today!

She was done with this life. She couldn't endure it for another day!

Harper looked at her with warmth in her eyes. "Alright, Caroline, whatever you want to say, I'm listening." No matter how she looked at her, she was satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

Caroline took deep breaths, trying to steady herself. Finally, she gathered the courage to speak. "Mom, the truth is, my relationship with David isn't what you think it is. And... we've also been keeping secrets about the whole pregnancy plan. After I tell you everything, I hope you'll agree to let me and David-" Just as the word "divorce" was about to leave her lips, David suddenly spoke, his deep voice drowning out

hers.

"Caroline, how could you be the one to say this?"

Caroline froze, turning to look at him. If I didn't say it, is he going to? Would David really be that generous?

Uneasy, Caroline clenched her palms. "It's fine. I can say it."

Harper glanced between them, clearly confused. "You two are making no sense. What exactly are you trying to say? Your relationship isn't what I think? Then what is it? And what's this secret about the pregnancy plan?"

Caroline opened her mouth, but before she could get a word out, David wrapped an arm around her waist. With a small exertion of strength, he lifted her and settled her onto his lap.

"Hey, you-!"

Does he have no shame? Does he not care how embarrassing this is? Madam Harper was sitting right there, and yet he was pulling moves like this?

"Be good." David lowered his head, his warm breath brushing against her ear. "Just stay in my arms. Leave

the rest to me."

Caroline understood immediately.

"Mom," David lifted his gaze, his tone calm. "You've always thought that Caroline and I didn't get along, since our marriage wasn't based on love. At first, I wasn't happy either. But now, I've completely changed my mind. I think Caroline is wonderful-gentle, obedient, kind, and considerate. I'm falling for her more and more. I love her deeply. I can't live without her anymore."

Caroline's entire body broke out in goosebumps. What in the world is he talking about?

But she had no way to stop him.

"As for what Caroline said about the pregnancy plan..." David paused before continuing smoothly, "we both felt it was still too soon. The Ellison Group has only recently come under my control, and there's still

a lot to handle. Caroline also wants to focus on her career a little longer-she's not ready to have a child just yet. I'm sorry, Mom, for keeping this from you."

In just a few sentences, he had twisted Caroline's words, completely altering the meaning of what she wanted to say!

Caroline shot him a furious glare. "David, you-!"
