His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Chapter 426

John noticed how wrecked she looked. His face was painted with worry. "What happened last night?"

Eliza didn't want to get into it. Curled up on the couch with her head propped up, she seemed completely defeated. John's curiosity only grew. She had been in a decent mood when he dropped her off. Had someone shown up after that?

"Who came over? It wasn't... Casper, was it?" The slight hesitation in Eliza's eyes gave her away.

This was beyond what he had imagined. Casper had actually agreed to the divorce.

"Did you bring up the divorce?"

Eliza shook her head slightly. "It was his idea."

John was stunned. Casper had actually suggested the divorce?
