Chapter 285 Mr Ellison you canât abandon me
Finished
No matter how hard she try, no matter how many schemes she devised, I will never surpass Caroline in David heart.
She crumbled. âMr. Ellison⦠If you wonât divorce her, then what about me? I remember your words, you said youâd take responsibility, that you would marry me. I gave myself to you, I gave you my first time, and now Iâm carrying your child⦠How can you treat me like thisâ¦â
David lowered his gaze, his expression unreadable, void of any emotion. He remained utterly calm. There was no joy of impending fatherhood, no particular attachment to the child in Elizabeth womb. What occupied his mind instead was Caroline her feelings and situation.
Even though, before coming here, he had just argued with Caroline at the Ellison residence, he had seen the desolation and sorrow in her eyes.
In David mind, Caroline trying to stop him from visiting Elizabeth was nothing more than irrational jealousy. She lacked the gentleness of a proper wife, and her thinking was far from shrewd. Because⦠David had never truly decided that Elizabeth should keep the child. He had only come to check on the situation. Unfortunately, Caroline would never understand his thoughts.
She would assume that the moment he heard Elizabeth was pregnant, all his thoughts, all his priorities, had shifted toward them. Caroline⦠will never understand me.
David turned to Elizabeth. âIn the Beginning, I made things too simple in the beginning. Elizabeth, I do owe you. If you feel wronged, we can discuss it.â
âDiscuss? Discuss what?â
âYou terminate the pregnancy and cut ties with me. In return, whatever you ask for, I will give you,â David -stated plainly, as if negotiating a business deal. âOur situation will remain private. Your reputation will
remain intact. You will still be free to marry, have children, and live your life as if none of this ever happened.â
He was cutting all ties with Elizabeth, wiping everything clean as if nothing had ever happened! How could Elizabeth possibly accept that!
âMr. Ellison, how can you so easily say⦠terminate the pregnancy?â Elizabeth asked, âEven a tiger wouldnât eat its own cub. This is your flesh and blood!â
âBut it will be your burden, and my complication.â
Elizabeth head shook violently. âNo! He is not a burden, he is my life⦠Mr. Ellison, itâs you who thinks this child is a burden to you!â
âYes.â

David admitted it openly, without hesitation. His indifference ignited a raging storm of hatred in Elizabeth heart! If she were truly pregnant with his child, hearing those words would have driven her to miscarriage from sheer fury!
Gritting her teeth, Elizabeth demanded, âYou said youâd give me anything I want?â
âYes.â
âIf I ask for shares in the Ellison Group?â

Elizabeth was utterly shocked. Shares in a corporation didnât just mean wealth, they represented power and influence! Yet, he agreed without hesitation!How badly did he want to sever ties with me? How desperate was he to be with Caroline, willing to pay such a steep price!
âNo, I donât want shares, I want the child!â Elizabeth shrieked. âMr. Ellison, you canât do this to me, how can you be so cruelâ¦â
Her cries echoed through the hospital room.
David calmly withdrew his hand, meticulously smoothing out the creases in his sleeve. âElizabeth, thatâs not what you said earlier.â
Her sobs halted abruptly.
She had said so much contradictory, desperate, pleading, but which part was David referring to?
