At that moment, Caroline had no idea that the one who had bought her was Nash.
By the tshe returned to the Ellison residence, the sky had already darkened.
The living room lights were off.
"Weird..." Caroline murmured. "Where's the butler? And the maids? Why is the house so dark?"
As she spoke, she flipped on the light switch.

The crystal chandelier lit up, illuminating the room. Caroline turned around and saw David sitting on the
couch, his posture relaxed but his expression as cold and sharp as ever.

She clutched her chest. "Why are you just sitting there silently? You scared me!"
"Where were you?"
"I... Went wherever | wanted."
David glanced at her briefly before leaning back, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
Then he spoke. "Light."
Caroline blinked, confused for a moment, before realizing he meant the lighter.
David's impatience grew. "Didn't understand me?"

"Didn't you want to smoke?" Caroline asked, puzzled. "Are you lighting it or not?"

"I'll ask you one more time," David said. "Where were you?"
"I went to a coffee shop, sat for a while, and then chome."

Caroline's heart skipped a beat. "You're spying on me?"
Not only did he know about her meeting with Nash, but he also knew about their past!
