Caroline froze for a moment. How am I supposed to believe him?
She couldnât.

David continued, âDo you want to find the father of your child? Learn his identity, then willingly get rid of it and have my children instead.â
Caroline turned to look at him.
From her angle, his side profile was sharply defined, his lips pressed into a thin line, his expression serious, without a hint of jest.
âDavid, youâ¦â Caroline swallowed involuntarily. âDo you even realize what youâre saying?â
âOf course I do.â
âThis isnât like you.â She kept her gaze fixed on his face. âIs this your new game?â
She had never forgotten those words of his. They had become her nightmare, a curse that haunted her.
Anytime David acted
And he had changed.
Ven slightly differently, that phrase resurfaced in her mind.
But she didnât know whether that change was a blessing or a curse.
âUnlessâ¦â A sudden thought struck her, and she spoke without hesitation. âYou actually want a child with me. Once I have your child, Iâll be tied down, unable to sever ties with you and the Ellison family. After all, no mother would abandon her child, even if Ms. Harper is there to ensure the child has a good life. But youâd strip me of any rights to raise or educate the child. Youâd make me give birth, but you wouldnât let me be a mother.â
She continued, âMaybe you
need an heir, and since Iâm already Mrs. Ellison, Iâm the most convenient option. The Ellison family wouldnât object. But a mother who canât even see her child, whose own child doesnât recognize her, thatâs a pain worse than death. David, isnât that an even crueler way to torment me?â
The more Caroline spoke, the more alarmed she became.
Meanwhile, Davidâs expression grew darker and darker.
âYour imagination is far too vivid,â he said coldly. âYou shouldâve been a novelist, what a waste.â
âAm I wrong? Then tell me why would you want me to bear your child?â
âBecause youâre my wife. Is that reason enough?â
Caroline shook her head. âNot even close.â
Her hands instinctively rested over her abdomen.
These twins had endured so many dangers alongside her, yet they were still safe inside her.
She couldnât give them up.

Her children were part of her. They were inseparable.
No matter what tempting conditions David offered, she wouldnât waver.

âDavid, even if you told me you loved me, that you couldnât live without me, that youâd do anything for me, I still wouldnât get rid of my children.â Carolineâs gaze was firm. âBesides, as if you could ever love me.â
David growled, his voice low and furious. âI have never seen a woman as ungrateful as you!â
âThatâs right, Iâm ungrateful.â Caroline smirked. âPlease, go appreciate someone else. Iâm sure plenty of women would be thrilled.â
David clenched his jaw and yanked her wrist, pulling her toward him.
Caroline stumbled into his chest, her nose bumping against him. It hurt a little.
âYou donât even know who the father is, and yet youâre willing to gamble your happiness for this child?â He glared at her. âYouâre asking for suffering, Caroline!â
âYes, I brought this on myself.â Caroline met his gaze. âSo leave me alone. Let me suffer on my own.â
âIn your dreams!â
David slowly lowered his head, forcing her to meet his eyes.
Their noses were nearly touching.
