His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Tristan and his son, Casper, seemed to stir up half of the gossip in Falconridge.

Why did Tristan suddenly come back? Was it because Jeffrey was buried today? Some kind of tradition, maybe?

Eliza watched as Tristan got out of the car, walked around to the other side, and opened the door for a young, attractive woman. He wrapped an arm around her waist, laughing and chatting as they went inside.

Seriously? Jeffrey had just passed away, and he was already bringing a woman home. Was he out of his mind?

As the lights in the mansion's living room flicked on, the half-asleep members of the Welton family started coming downstairs, one by one.

"You couldn't sleep, or did you all get up just for this?" Tristan, a bit tipsy and full of swagger, introduced the woman while holding her close. "Everyone, meet Lola, my sweetheart. She'll be staying with us tonight. No objections, right?"

Caroline thought Tristan was nuts. Jeffrey was just buried today, and he was pulling this stunt?

"You are bringing your mistress today of all days? Are you trying to disgust us?"

Tristan's face darkened. "What are you talking about? Lola is very well-behaved. Your mother is my lawful wife, Mrs. Welton. No one can take her place. Lola isn't competing for anything, right Lola?" Lola smiled softly, her red lips seductive, completely captivating Tristan. Caroline was fuming.
