I Just Want Caroline, I Will Protect Her!

“There’s nothing left between us–no debts, no guilt, nothing owed. Let’s just call it even. It’s all in the past.”

“For your sake, I won’t hold today’s incident against Julia. I wish you and her a happy marriage, a lifetime of love and harmony.”

Caroline’s life was already a mess.

She didn’t want to drag Nash into it any further. That had been her decision before, and now, she was even more certain of it.

Yes, he had turned his back on their four years together.

But he had also bought her–to save her.

He had done everything he could.

What happened that night… was inevitable. Fate had decided it.

That night, she was destined to lose everything.

Her suffering had begun from that moment.

It was simply a trial written in her fate.

Nash opened his mouth to speak, but Julia cut him off. “Alright, alright, Mrs. Ellison, my apologies. I misunderstood the situation and nearly caused you harm. Thank you for your forgiveness. I’ll visit another day to properly make amends. Nash and I will be going now. Goodbye.”

She grabbed Nash’s arm, trying to drag him away.

But Nash stood rooted to the spot.

No matter how hard Julia pulled, he didn’t budge.

His gaze was locked onto Caroline, unwilling to leave her.

“Let’s go!” Julia urged, her voice laced with panic. “Don’t get involved in this mess any further!”

“What if… I want to dive into this mess just to pull her out?”

Julia’s face twisted with anger. “You’re insane!”

How could he possibly go up against David?

And more importantly–he still loved Caroline.

“Yeah, maybe I am insane!” Nash let out a bitter laugh. “I’ve been too rational all these years, and look where it’s gotten me. I don’t care about anything else anymore–I just want Caroline! I want to protect her!”

Julia’s voice trembled. “Then what about me? What am I to you?”

“Julia, you’ll find someone better. Someone who’s truly meant for you. I—”

everything for you! I know you don’t love me as much, but my family, my status–I can help you! Caroline will only drag you down!”

“Yes, you can help me.” Nash nodded. “But even without me, you’ll still be the noble daughter of the Woods family. You’ll still have everything. But Caroline… if she loses me, what will she have?”

Silence.

Julia’s lips trembled, but no words came out.

There was a deep sorrow in her eyes.

That sentence had cut too deep.

She had wealth, family and power.

She could stand on her own.

But Caroline was helpless, fragile, alone. She needed him more.

Even David let out a low chuckle, leaning close to Caroline’s ear.

“Listen to that. So devoted. Are you touched? Hmm?”

Caroline’s lashes quivered.

She could hear the mockery in David’s voice.

And… the killing intent.

Even if the child wasn’t Nash’s, the fact that Nash loved her, that he was willing to throw everything away for her–that was something David would never tolerate.

Caroline knew she had to crush Nash’s ridiculous fantasy.

If she didn’t…

David would destroy him.

“Yes, I’m very touched.” Caroline lifted her head, looking straight at Nash. “But you know… nothing is more worthless than love that arrives too late.”

“Caroline…”

“Nash, stop pretending to be the good guy.” Her voice was cold, distant. “This version of you… only disgusts me.”
