His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Chapter 494

"Alright then, let's give it a shot... but officially dating will have to wait until my divorce is finalized."

"Sure thing. How about I pick you up after work and we grab dinner? Just as friends," Manuel suggested, testing the waters.

Eliza instinctively wanted to refuse. She typed out a response but then deleted it and simply replied, "Okay." "See you after work then." "Okay."

Eliza put down her phone and stared into space, lost in thought. Since their blind date, Manuel had been sending her messages now and then just to say hi, remind her to bring an umbrella on rainy days, or to drive safely. He was detailed, patient, and considerate. She didn't know him well, but from his brief messages, she felt he was a decent guy. Not love, but certainly not dislike either. Unlike some people who couldn't exchange a few words without starting a fight. She never liked people with bad tempers anyway.

A mistake made once is just a step, but repeating it would mean she really had a problem. Maybe Manuel... she could give it a chance. If things worked out, she could take the next step. Perhaps once she remarried, Casper would finally give up and stop bothering her. But for now, she needed to finalize her divorce with Casper. Thinking this, Eliza picked up her phone and sent Dillon a message.

"Dillon, could you remind Casper that next Monday, I'm coming back to Falconridge? He should make some time so we can finalize the divorce."
