His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Elizabeth could comply with almost every request Carter made. But this one? It was out of the question.

She felt an overwhelming discomfort, too afraid to meet his eyes. She knew that one look might make her abandon all her principles and trap herself in an impossible situation.

David gently took Carter's hand, which was tightly holding Elizabeth's, and said, "Dad, Elizabeth and I will definitely get married. You don't need to worry about it. Just focus on getting better and waiting to babysit for us, okay?" Carter didn't get the answer he was looking for. He breathed heavily, as if on the verge of his last breath but couldn't let it go.

"Dad, Elizabeth and I have both agreed. Please, just rest, okay?"

David's words didn't seem to have any effect. Shortly after, Carter was rushed to the emergency room due to cardiac arrest. Sitting outside the emergency room, their spirits hit rock bottom.

"Dad's been rambling lately, all about wanting us to get married. That must be his biggest worry," David said, running his fingers through his hair, looking as if he blamed himself for not being able to fulfill this duty. This only added to Elizabeth's stress. She had only agreed to help David out because Carter was her mentor. Actually getting married to fulfill an old man's last wish? She was willing, but powerless.

"David, we were supposed to be... fake. Once we get the marriage certificate, it becomes real. That's... unfair to me."

She believed David understood. She hoped even more that he wouldn't make things difficult for her. She had tried her best.

David didn't say much. He remained silent.
