“At some point, don’t you wish for someone to be there unwavering, beside you? No matter if you’re poor or rich, healthy or sick, always staying by your side, never leaving?”
Caroline found herself struggling to control her emotions.
These words shouldn’t have been said, and they weren’t hers to say. But once they left her mouth, there was no taking them back.
Might as well say it all now!
“I don’t need it,” David replied in a hoarse voice. “More people… are just more burdens.”
Caroline smiled. “That just shows you’ve never experienced what it feels like to have someone by your side. You’ve always fought alone, with no one behind you.”
David’s brows slowly furrowed.
There was a hint of displeasure in his expression.
Because those words had hit a deep, hidden part of him. How did Caroline see it?
In front of her, he was always high and mighty, unshakable, never showing any weakness.
“Caroline, enough,” David spoke, his voice sharp. “Don’t push your luck.”
You should know when to stop…
He didn’t stop her, but she kept going.
Caroline sighed softly. “I just think you should have a good partner by your side. Obviously, I’m not the
one.”
“After all that talking, you… still want a divorce,” David sneered.
She shook her head. “No, I want you to truly experience what love is.”
He emphasized again, “I don’t need it.”
Love or not
, what’s the point? Women were always trouble.
“I’m not the one meant for you, and neither is Elizabeth,” Caroline said, looking at him as she tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear. “Maybe, in your entire life, you’ll never find that person. Many people… never do.”
Living a life of confusion is the norm.
David suddenly raised his hand and firmly grasped her chin. “What, you’ve found it? You’ve loved someone? Was it Nash?”
Caroline smiled faintly, not answering. Yes, we had once been so close to love. I thought I was lucky to have met the person I was meant to
spend her life with in her younger years

When better choices and futures came along, Nash didn’t hesitate to abandon her.

“I’ll tell you this, Caroline.” David slowly leaned in, his lips brushing her ear. “Even if we get divorced and you’re no longer mine, do you believe… that not a single man in this entire city will dare take you on?”
“I believe it.”
What couldn’t David do? With a single word, he could destroy me.
Caroline wasn’t bothered by his threat, because she wasn’t planning on loving again, nor did she have any intention of remarrying.
Besides, she was carrying twins–what man could accept a woman with two children?
She just wanted to raise her children and live a simple, quiet life. Caroline was calm and unbothered, but David, on the other hand, couldn’t remain calm.
He tightened his grip on her chin and spoke her name slowly, deliberately, “Caroline.”
She didn’t respond, just gazing steadily at him.
It was as if the stars were reflected in her eyes. So clear, so pure.
David suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. The emotion hit him out of nowhere, and he didn’t know how to suppress it.
