His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Chapter 405

Dillon: "What the...? This?"

"Susan, we were promised to each other as kids. No matter how many engagements you've got, ours came first. You should honor it," Susan declared, looking like she was afraid someone would snatch him away.

Casper finally lifted his gaze to look at her seriously. She did resemble a twenty-year-old Eliza. Back then, Eliza wasn't as slim as she is now, her skin was flawless, and even without makeup, she radiated an indescribable beauty. She still had a hint of baby fat, making her look adorable. When she smiled, her eyes sparkled like stars. The girl in front of him reminded him so much of that Eliza. But sadly... she wasn't Eliza.

"Do you think you can marry me without really knowing me?"

"We can get to know each other over time," she insisted, believing in love at first sight. "I'm patient, really."

As she spoke, Casper's heart couldn't help but stir. He was reminded of Eliza when they first got married. She was confident she could thaw his icy exterior, but what did she end up with? Shaking his head gently, he told the young girl, "Go back, go back to your own home. I won't marry you."

"No, it's written in black and white. How can the Welton family go back on their word?" Susan's frown was full of grievance. She knew she might not meet his standards, but how could one break a promise? Besides, she was willing to change wherever she fell short. Casper remained silent. He didn't feel like talking.

Dillon quickly stepped forward, trying to defuse the situation. "Ms. Susan, Mr. Casper has been overwhelmed with company matters lately. He's really exhausted. Maybe we can discuss this later?"
