His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Her voice rang out sharp and triumphant, as if she had just claimed some grand victory.

Eliza let out a barely audible chuckle. "All this pampering, yet he still hasn't made you his wife."

"Casper marrying me is just a matter of time." Nova straightened up leisurely, picked up a plate of cherries, and popped a red one into her mouth. "Once my leg heals, I'll be his most beautiful bride."

"What good will healing your leg do? Can you bear children for the Welton family or give Casper a son and a daughter?" Women who can't bear children will be cast aside sooner or later. The Welton family wouldn't allow it any other way.

A mocking smirk played on Eliza's lips.

Nova's face twisted in fury, her eyes turning fierce. She slammed the plate of cherries onto the floor and glared at Eliza. "Even if I can't bear children for Casper, he still loves me the most."

"Fine, you keep loving each other."

Eliza couldn't be bothered by Nova's hysterics. She followed Marian into the kitchen.
