- Chapter 381 Are You in Pain?
- “If you weren’t avoiding me, I wouldn’t have to come looking for you”
- Finished
- “I told you, I’m not avoiding you! David, I have work and meetings–I can’t spend every moment running after you!”
- David’s voice remained maddeningly calm. “Alright, I’ll believe you. Then how about I transfer you to the CEO’s office as my secretary? That way, you’ll always have time for me.”
- Caroline took a sharp breath, struggling to keep her composure.
- She was on the verge of snapping.
- “David, I’d rather quit than work under you as a secretary!” Her voice cracked slightly as she slammed the meeting documents onto the table.
- “You can go ahead and yell louder,” David said casually. “That way, everyone outside can hear you.”
- Caroline clenched her jaw.
- “If you have the strength to argue, then I guess you’re doing fine,” he added smoothly. “That’s good to know.”
- Fine? He was calling this fine? She was on the verge of exploding, and he had the nerve to act like this was some minor disagreement.
- The silence between them stretched uncomfortably.
- Then, David suddenly stood up and stepped toward her. “I just wanted to check on you.”
- He reached out, intending to brush a stray strand of hair from her face.
- Caroline flinched. Without thinking, she backed away, retreating several steps.
- A cold shiver ran through her body.
- Even she couldn’t control it.
- The memories from last night still clung to her, raw and unforgiving.
- She feared his touch.
- This was the man who had ignored her protests, dismissed the fact that she was pregnant, and taken what he wanted regardless of her pain.
- “Caroline,” David slowly let his hand drop. “Do you really have to fight me on this?”
- “Fight you?” she scoffed. “Do I even have that choice?”
- “I know last night… I shouldn’t have done that.”
- Her eyes snapped to his, her breath catching. Was he admitting fault? That was unexpected.
- But then, with infuriating ease, he continued, “But if I had to do it over, I’d do the exact same thing.”

- Chapter 381 Are You in Pain?
- Finished
- believed for a second that he might apologize. She should have known better. David hadn’t changed one bitt
- “You barely got any sleep. You must be exhausted, he said, his gaze never leaving hers. “Does it hurt?”
- Caroline bit down on her lower lip, hard.
- “This is all I wanted to ask,” his voice was low, almost gentle. “But you won’t even let me show concern.
- Her entire body trembled even more.
- David had followed me all the way to the conference room just to ask this? How pathetic. How ridiculous! Did he actually think he was being considerate? Thoughtful?
- For Caroline, every word he said only dragged her back to last night, reopening wounds she was trying so hard to forget.
- David took another step forward. “I tried to hold back. I was as gentle as I could be. But if it still hurts… put on some medicine. It’ll help.”
- Her legs gave out. She collapsed into the chair, feeling her strength drain away.
- Her lips had gone pale.
- “Caroline?” David frowned, stepping closer. “Are you in that much pain?”
- “Yes,” she answered, her voice shaking. “It hurts. It hurts so much I feel like I’m dying. I can’t take it.”
- David straightened immediately. “I’m taking you to the hospital.”
- He reached out to lift her, but she smacked his hand away. “Don’t touch me!”
- “But you just said-”
- Before he could finish, Caroline pressed a trembling finger against her chest.
