Chapter 37 Letâs 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 didnât 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 wasnât even there.
âHey, 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. âWhy the pretense? Isnât this exactly what you wanted?â
âI did not!â
âFrom the moment you approached my mother to the day you married me, itâs all been part of your plan. Your goal has always been to stay by my side.â
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?
âSure, sure, youâve got it all figured out,â Caroline said sarcastically. âMr. Ellison, youâre truly brilliant- wise, charming, dashing, and irresistible. From the moment I first saw you. I was utterly captivated. completely in awe of your magnificence.â
David responded without missing a beat, âSo you finally admit it.â
Caroline was dumbfounded.
Heâs so full of himself! Does he not realize Iâm being sarcastic
David rested his long fingers on his belt and shot her alance. Youâd bener keep your little schemes to yourself when it comes to my mom.â
Harper liked Caroline, and if she found out Caroline hul ulterior motives, sheaf be heartbroken, and wouldnât allow thar to happen.

kind to her. Have you ever seen someone risk their life to save another just to earn their favor?â
âMaybe her falling into the water was part of your plan
Caroline was speechless.
What kind of villain does he take me for?
of
She lifted her chin. âDonât worry, David. Im not the king an you think I am. But you might want to keep an eye on Elizabeth. I donât know how the two of you got involved, but Iâd advise you to be cautious. Donât let her twoâfaced nature fool you. The one trying to climb into your bed, to get close to you
for your money and power, has always been Elizabethânot me. In fact, I think we should sleep in separate rooms. That way, you wonât have to worry about me harboring any inappropriate thoughts toward you. A man of your status should be extra careful at night; wouldnât want a woman taking advantage of you.â
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.
âStop.â
She halted. âMr. Ellison, is there something else?â
âTomorrow morning, come with me to Ellison Group.
At least heâs not forcing me to stay in the master bedroom tonight. Small mercies.
Wait⦠Hold on.
Caroline frowned. âGo to the company? For what?â
âJust come, David said, walking toward the bathroom. Now get out.â
Unbelievable. The manâs 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 RollsâRoyce.
