“I’m paving the way for you,” Samantha replied. “Don’t worry, I’ll plan everything for you and make sure the path is cleared. But as for Mr. Ellison, when it comes to matters between a man and a woman, that part is up to you.”

Elizabeth felt irritated whenever this topic came up but didn’t know how to respond, so she just said, “Okay.”

When Caroline returned to the Ellison residence, she realized she was still holding a children’s rattle.

She couldn’t remember when she had bought it, feeling a bit dazed.

This thing definitely couldn’t be seen by David, or he would fly into a rage.

Caroline looked around, thinking of hiding it when David came downstairs.

She was startled and quickly tried to hide the rattle behind her.

But she had forgotten that the rattle made noise whenever it spun, and her large movement caused it to clink loudly, impossible to hide.

Caroline’s heart raced in her chest.

“What are you hiding?” David asked lazily, looking nonchalant. “What is it?”

“It’s nothing.”

He casually sat down on the sofa and extended his hand. “Give it to me.”

Caroline didn’t move.

He raised an eyebrow.

Reluctantly, Caroline took out the rattle and handed it to him.

“So it’s this little thing.” David played with it carelessly. “Did you just buy this?”

“Yes…”

“You went out just to buy it?”

Caroline had gone for a prenatal check–up, worried that she might have hurt the baby yesterday.

But she didn’t dare tell David the truth.

“I saw it in the mall and bought it on a whim,” Caroline said after a moment, “I thought it was fun.”

David dragged the word out. “Fun?”

In the next moment, he threw the rattle straight at her face.

“You’re quite invested in that b*stard already, aren’t you? Your belly isn’t even showing, and you’re already buying toys for him,” David said icily. “Do you take me for an idiot?”

Caroline bit her lip, wanting to explain but deciding it wasn’t worth it.

He wouldn’t believe her anyway.

She didn’t even remember when she took it or how she ended up buying it.

At the moment, David looked at her with nothing but contempt, forcing her to tread carefully, as if walking on eggshells. There was no way she would have dared to bring a children’s toy in front of him.

“Are you dumb now?” David raised his voice. “Who are you trying to fool with this lifeless act?”

Caroline lifted her eyes to meet his gaze. “Isn’t that what you want? The more miserable I am, the happier you are.”

“However, you’d better pull yourself together now.”

She frowned. “Why?”

David snapped his fingers.

Two servants quickly approached, one holding an ironed long dress, the other holding a pair of four–inch heels.

“Go change David gestured with his chin. “We’re attending a dinner party tonight.”

Caroline immediately refused. “I’m not going. I think Elizabeth would be more suited than I am to go to a place like that.”

He smirked meaningfully. “No, you’re the one who’s most suited.”

A chill ran down Caroline’s back as she wondered what he was planning.

“I won’t say it again,” David crossed his arms. “I don’t mind helping you change myself.”

Caroline bit her lip and reluctantly went to the wardrobe to change.

The dress was a bit revealing.

It was a spaghetti–strap dress, and the straps were long enough to barely cover the front.
