William, sensing the shift in atmosphere, tactfully endel the video call to avoid disrupting their moment.
David leaned lazily against his chair, watching Caroline step inside, his gaze unreadable.
It was rare to see her act so considerate.
Has she developed feelings forafter all? Maybe, just like me, she refuses to admit the truth buried deep in
her heart.
Now that David had decided to face their relationship head-on-to remove every obstacle between them and be
with her. Perhaps she, too, had begun to soften.
Yes, she is trying to get closer to me.
The more he thought about it, the more pleased he became. Soon, they would live as a loving couple, just as
they were meant to.
“Mom said you should eat more. They're sweet, full of juice, and completely organic, with no pesticides,”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCaroline said, setting the plate of fruit on his desk. I've delivered her message. | won't disturb you any further.
She had no idea what was running through his mind. To her, this was nothing more than a task, one she had now
completed.
She turned to leave.
“Stop.
David's voice was firm.
“These are from my mom?”

“Oh, | see. You're used to hearing sweet lies and can’t handle a bit of honesty,” she scoffed. “My apologies, but |
don’t do anything fake.”
Bang!
His palm slammed against the desk, making the computer tremble.
Just moments ago, he had been foolishly indulging in his own fantasies. And she had never cared. He had been
deluding himself.
There was no way he wouldn't be angry.
However, Caroline was completely baffled.
She had simply delivered sfruit and admitted it was Harper's idea. She couldn't fathom why David was
throwing a fit over something so trivial.
She had no interest in arguing with him.
“Fine, I'm sorry, | was too blunt.” She exhaled. “The truth is, | picked the fruit myself, washed it with my own
hands, and cut it just for you. | felt bad that you were still working so late, so | wanted to do something nice. |
hoped my thoughtfulness would bring you a little warmth and comfort.”
She rattled off the words in one breath, then looked up at him with wide eyes.
Happy now? | told you exactly what you wanted to hear.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDavid's gaze didn’t waver. His voice was slower this time, deliberate.
“Caroline, when will you finally do something forwillingly? Something small. Something a wife would

Love, or the absence of it, was always in the details.
With him, Caroline was always a hedgehog, every quill standing on end, ready to pierce him at the slightest
