Chapter 288 She Could Stab Him in the Heart
Caroline was carrying another man’s child,
And now, Elizabeth was pregnant with David’s child too.
Finished
Forcing themselves to stay together in this situation would only lead to a lifetime of endless pain and
sorrow.
“I may hate Elizabeth, but her child is innocent…” Caroline said. “David, staying with me while also maintaining a relationship with Elizabeth–it’s not fair to the child. Growing up in an environment like that won’t be good for them.”
In her mind, she had already assumed David would keep Elizabeth’s child.
After all, who would abandon their own flesh and blood?
Caroline was self–aware enough to know that in David’s heart, she wasn’t important enough to surpass the Ellison family’s legacy.
David might like her–but it was just that.
A fleeting affection, something that could fade or be replaced at any moment.
David didn’t say a word. He simply held her, resting his chin against the top of her head.
He was exhausted–so drained that he didn’t even want to speak.
He had already predicted what Caroline was thinking, but there was no sense of victory in it.
For the first time, David truly understood–being able to see through everything, to control everything, was a bitter curse.
Sometimes, knowing too much only made the heart ache more.
“…Go to sleep,” he finally murmured, his voice hoarse, before closing his eyes.
Caroline tried to pull away from his embrace, but his arms instinctively tightened around her.
So she gave up and lay still, unmoving.
David fell asleep quickly, his breathing steady.
Caroline looked up at his sleeping face, biting her lip. He could sleep so peacefully
. Of course, he could. This is good news for him, he is going to be a father, the Ellison family’s bloodline would continue. There is nothing for him to worry about. Naturally, he slept well
.
But every time Caroline so much as shifted, David’s arms would reflexively tighten around her.
It seemed like there was no escaping his embrace tonight.
She stared at the man in front of her, unsure what she felt. Do I hate him? Yes, I do. Do I love him?Maybe, just a little.
His pajama shirt was slightly open, revealing his strong, toned chest. He was completely defenseless in front

Chapter 288 She Could Stab Him in the Heart
Suddenly, she thought of the knife hidden beneath her pillow.
Thin, sharp.
If… if she plunged the blade into his heart right now, would everything finally be over?
What a perfect opportunity.
Her fingers traced lightly over his chest, right above his heart.
White steel in, red blood out.
David had no guard up against her. If she wanted to do it, it would be effortless.
And yet…
Finished
“If I kill you, how could I ever face Madam Harper?” Caroline whispered, her voice so soft that only she could hear. “But why won’t you just let me go? All I want is a divorce… to be free from you. If I leave, everything ends. My life, my child–they’ll have nothing to do with you. Just like who you marry, who you love, will have nothing to do with me.”
One hand rested over David’s heart.
The other slid beneath the pillow, fingers curling around the knife handle.
David’s life was in her hands.
She had the best chance of killing him. The night was deep, the world outside silent.
But just then, David suddenly murmured in his sleep.
“Caroline… Caroline…”
He called her name, over and over again, his lips barely moving.
Caroline froze, her breathing unconsciously growing lighter.
