Chapter 221 Maybe, I Do Love You
âI donât know either, but I have a feeling⦠that person will appear.â
Finished
Everyone has a weakness. David isnât invincible. He must have a weak spot, somethingâor someoneâthat can hurt
him.
Caroline added, âI just hope Iâll live to see that day.â
He didnât get angry, nor did he seem to care. Instead, he chatted with her casually. âAccording to your theory, this person would be a woman. Someone I love deeplyâmore than I love myself. Is that right?â
âYes.â
âBut she wouldnât love me back. In fact, sheâd hate me. Iâd never be able to have her.â
âYes.â
The traffic light turned red. David stepped on the brake and turned to look at her. âCaroline, are you talking about yourself? Could that person be you?â
Caroline froze, her thoughts thrown into chaos.
Me?
She had never considered that.
Quickly, she shook off the thought and replied, âI only fit half of that.â
âHalf?â
âYes. The part I can do is that I donât love you. I hate you very much.â Carolineâs tone was calm. âThe part I canât do is making you love me more than you love yourself. See? That means I only meet half the conditions.â
David lifted her chin, leaning in slightly. âTry it. Maybe youâll succeed in meeting them all.â
Caroline immediately countered, âDo you love me?â
âIf you behaved and listened to me, maybe I could.â
âBut what if I stay rebellious? What if I go against you every single time? Would you still love me then?â
His gaze darkened, deeper than the midnight sky outside.
He didnât answer.
The red light turned green, then red again. The car remained still at the intersection, unmoving.
In the end, David said nothing. He simply stepped on the gas, and the car shot forward like a bat out of hell.
Does he love me? No matter what I do, will he still love me? Even he doesnât know the answer.
But isnât the question simple? Love or notâit should be clear. If you love someone, you love them. If you donât, you donât. It was just idle conversation. Just meaningless words to pass the time. Love? Someone like me⦠do I even have the right

But Caroline didnât press for an answer. She dismissed the conversation as soon as it ended.
Finished
Who would even remember something like that? Believing that David could love me is about as ridiculous as expecting pigs to fly. A man like him⦠what kind of woman would he even love? It definitely wouldnât be me. And itâs none of my business anyway. Carolineâs mind drifted into a haze, exhaustion weighing heavily on her body.
She wanted to hold on until they reached the Ellison residence.
But in the end, she didnât make it.
Somewhere along the way, she unknowingly fell asleep, her head tilting against the car window.
Just as she drifted off into unconsciousness, a voiceâlow, almost inaudibleâbroke the silence.
âMaybe⦠I do love you.â
Caroline didnât hear it.
And David spoke so softly that even if she had been awake, she probably wouldnât have made out his words.
By the time she opened her eyes again, daylight had already filled the room.
A deep red hue met her vision as sunlight filtered through the windows.
Her brows furrowed slightly as she shifted.
A few seconds passed before she suddenly sat up.
The blanket slipped from her shoulders, pooling around her lap.
She looked around, her mind slowly clearing.
âThe Ellison residenceâ¦â
